"You…" Tanner hadn't expected Sebastian to read his mind. He felt as if there was no turning back at this point.Tanner wasn't really to blame for all this.After all, he wasn't part of the main branch of the Northman family, and he was a negligible presence amongst them. If he really did cause trouble, the Northmans would be sure to make him the scapegoat.If it came to that, he would not only have ruined his future, but he would even be in danger of losing his life.Therefore, Tanner had thought of the safest solution—finding out where Sebastian's formula had come from and getting rid of him legally. At the same time, the source of the formula could become a resource that would allow Tanner to elevate his status in the Northman family.He just hadn't imagined that Sebastian could see right through him so easily."I don't understand what you're saying at all. Don't forget, you were the one who killed those three people! Shall I show you the video?" Tanner sneered and pulled ou
"Would I need connections to deal with the likes of you? You think too highly of yourself." Sebastian looked disdainfully at Tanner. He couldn't even be bothered to talk to him.At that moment, Tanner's phone rang all of a sudden. When he saw that it was Trevor calling, he hastily shot a meaningful look at some of the suited men before hurrying out of the interrogation room."Trevor, this is Tanner. I've already taken Sebastian to the Alpha Strike Force team's base. But his lips are sealed, and we can't get anything out of him. "Plus, he seems to have discovered that you're the one behind this scheme. Should we just kill him to prevent any future trouble?" Tanner held the phone as he simpered at Trevor, who was on the other end."Uncle Tanner, you've been alive for decades, haven't you? You should have more sense. If we wanted to kill him, would we have to use you as a trump card?"Don't you understand what that anti-cancer formula means to us?"Besides, Sebastian's formula has
Vince felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard that the Alpha Strike Force team had captured Sebastian!After all, Wyatt had only just gotten through the most critical period, and both Larys and Zeke were keeping watch at his hospital bed. Larys had even personally instructed Vince to increase the protection around Sebastian. Before Wyatt recovered, they couldn't allow anything to happen to Sebastian.Sebastian's capture by the Alpha Strike Force team was Vince's biggest dereliction of duty as the police chief.Not only would he be unable to explain this to Larys, but the Holmans were also sure to pursue this issue. Vince immediately asked, "Ms. Griffin, calm down. Why did the Alpha Strike Force team take Mr. Ballard away?"It wouldn't be easy to rescue someone from the Alpha Strike Force team. That was why Vince had to find out the reason behind all this so that he could construct a rational argument when the time came.Rosalie hastily told Vince what had happ
"Can't you see that Mr. Holman Senior is doing his rehabilitation exercises? How could you be so tactless when you're the police chief? You should act appropriately according to the situation!" Vince was dazed by Larys' rebuke. However, he realized how inappropriately he had behaved, and he hastily lowered his voice and whispered in Larys' ear, "Mr. Compton, something big has happened. It's about Mr. Ballard."Huh?When Larys heard Sebastian's name, he flinched and waved a hand at Vince, gesturing for him to wait outside the hospital room.Vince nodded slightly. He bid Wyatt farewell before hurrying out of the hospital room."Mr. Holman Senior, I'm very sorry, but I've got something to settle very quickly. I won't be keeping you company for now, but I'll visit you some other day," Larys said to Wyatt, squeezing out a smile.Wyatt nodded heavily and said, "Yes. As the mayor of the city, there must be many things you need to deal with everyday. You shouldn't have been wasting tim
"Shoot me dead? I'm afraid you've missed your chance," Sebastian said. He turned to look in the direction of the door.There was the crisp sound of leather shoes coming briskly toward them outside, and someone suddenly pushed the interrogation room's steel door open forcefully.A man in his 30s strode inside with several people in tow.Behind him came Larys and Vince. They saw at once that Sebastian was tied up on the steel chair. They hurriedly pointed at him and said, "Commander Lehman, it's him! That's Mr. Ballard, the one I was telling you about!"Victor Lehman looked in the direction that Larys was pointing in. He glanced at Sebastian, and then his gaze alighted on Tanner, who was holding a gun against the back of Sebastian's head."Tanner, what are you doing? Put the gun down right now!" Victor said harshly in an imperious tone. "Captain Northman, it seems that you don't have absolute authority in the Alpha Strike Force team after all." Sebastian laughed scornfully as he t
"This shows that Mr. Ballard was with Ms. Griffin the entire time. Mr. Ballard only left his residential area in the middle of the night to go to the suburbs, which is where the crime took place." As he spoke, Vince pulled up the recording of his conversation with Rosalie."Commander Lehman, I believe that Ms. Griffin's testimony is even more trustworthy."Besides, a case like this that is related to safety and security in society should be investigated by the police. The Alpha Strike Force team should not have intervened."Victor nodded slightly at Vince's reasoned argument and said, "Chief Weist is right. Even if everything is as you have said, cases like this should be investigated by the police."Victor frowned and looked at Tanner as he said, "Captain Northman, both sides now have ample evidence. This shows that this is a complicated case. I command you to release him at once!"Tanner swallowed, and his heart sank. If he let Sebastian go now, there would surely be trouble i
"Tanner!" Victor couldn't help slamming the table. He yelled at the suited men, "Get out of here, all of you! How dare you try to accuse Mr. Compton? Are you tired of living?"He had never imagined that Tanner would act so recklessly right in front of him. How could he even try to take advantage of Larys?"Commander Lehman, I'm just working according to the law. Are you asking me to bend the law for my own ends?" Tanner asked. He was clearly not going to back down."Why you—" Victor didn't know what to say.Just as Tanner looked triumphant, there was the sound of a whip lashing against the ground from outside the door."Surround this entire place. Shoot anyone who moves on the spot!" a young man yelled, and then there was the sound of hurried footsteps. Before long, around a dozen Warriors carrying guns burst into the room!"Don't move! Put your hands up!""Turn in your guns and we won't kill you!" Over a dozen muzzles were aimed simultaneously at the dozen or so suited men in
Liam laughed coldly and took out three photos, which he tossed onto the table. He said coldly, "These three people are from an organization of assassins called the Slaughter Gods! Three years ago, the military started paying attention to them after they committed their first crime. "I believe that Captain Northman here knew very well that the three of them were acting suspiciously, but he still described them as good people who had acted out of bravery. He should give us a reasonable explanation for that, shouldn't he?"I don't care if he acted out of an order or if he was secretly communicating with the Slaughter Gods, but I won't stand for him using this to slander Mr. Ballard!"Take him! Shoot whoever tries to stop you!" As soon as Liam spoke, the members of the Alpha Strike Force team all stepped aside. They were wary of being seen to be related to Tanner in any way.Victor had realized how serious the issue was.The special forces team was a department in the military, but i
