At the sound of the woman's voice, the door to the interrogation room opened once more.Cyril had been standing at the side of the room and cursing inwardly. They were treating the interrogation room like a market where they could come and go as they pleased."Oh, Dad, when did you get yourself such a young girlfriend? She's pretty good-looking." Ryan's eyes gleamed as he leered at the middle-aged woman standing behind Hugh.Hugh almost wet his pants with fright. Belinda was the woman who had followed him in.They had arrived right after Ryan entered the interrogation room, but Belinda had gestured for Hugh to stop so that they could listen at the door for a while. With every word that Belinda heard Ryan say, her eyes became progressively colder. When Shawn took out the taser, Belinda finally spoke up in a loud voice to stop him. At the same time, she opened the door of the interrogation room and walked in."Shut up, you disobedient thing!" Hugh's eyes were bulging out of their
"Dad! Have mercy! Stop hitting me and electrocuting me! I was wrong, alright? Why are you beating me up?" Ryan stared at Hugh in fear. "You idiot! Who gave you permission to get up to all this nonsense?" Hugh had a black eye, and he glared ferociously at Ryan.Hugh would rather beat his ungrateful son to death than let him be the cause of the entire Jones family's downfall."Hugh, you can stop acting now," Belinda said coldly.Hugh shuddered in fear. He immediately turned and said to Belinda, "Madam Dragon, please hear me out. I really didn't order him to do these things."Belinda looked coldly into Hugh's eyes. All she saw in them was guilt and cowardice. "Really? How do you explain this, then?" Belinda asked icily as she raised a slender finger and pointed it at Sebastian, who had been strapped into the interrogation chair. Hugh hurriedly explained, "Madam Dragon, you heard everything just now. Sebastian stole cultural relics. This is a severe crime."As he spoke, Hugh loo
Blake assented and walked over quickly to Shawn. "Sorry, man."He punched Shawn in the ribs. There was a cracking sound, and two of Shawn's ribs snapped. "How dare you hit me!" Shawn was finding it hard to endure the pain. He clutched his stomach and crouched down, but it wasn't over yet.Blake laughed coldly and pressed on Shawn's shoulder with one hand. He exerted force through his palm, and with another sharp snap, Shawn's shoulder blade broke as well."Aargh! Hey, mister! Mister! I… I'm part of the state capital's Alpha Strike Force team! A-aren't you afraid that the Alpha Strike Force team will look into this?" Shawn immediately pulled out his ID badge. He could no longer lift his other arm."Yes, I know that you're part of the Alpha Strike Force team." Blake nodded heavily and kicked Shawn's kneecap. There was another snap, and Shawn fell to his knees.His right kneecap had been shattered by Blake, and he could only kneel as he looked at Blake in terror.Shawn didn't unde
Ryan was the heir of the Jones family! How could he kneel to a loser like Sebastian?"I told you to kneel, damn it!" Hugh had just raised his fist when Blake grabbed his wrist."Mr. Jones, Mr. Ballard is an esteemed guest of Madam Dragon. If you disrespect him, you're disrespecting Madam Dragon. Therefore, let me do it!"Ryan jumped in fright and scurried off to a corner of the room. He stared nervously at Blake and said, "What are you going to do? Assault is against the law!"He wished he had supernatural powers. It didn't have to be anything great. He just had to be able to go through the cement wall behind him.However, he had no such power, and Blake was grinning as he walked toward him. He grabbed Ryan by the collar and dragged him over to Sebastian as if he was a dead dog. Blake kicked him in the calf, and with a snap, his bone broke. Before Ryan could yell in pain, Blake smiled and said, "You'd better not scream, Mr. Jones. Otherwise, your shoulder will break too. You kno
The Beckards?Belinda looked frostily at Trevor and Ryan. She was almost certain that the two of them were just pawns of the Beckards!Perhaps they saw the Beckards as a formidable ally, but the Beckards were nothing to Belinda. Since the Beckards were behind all this, it was time to teach them a lesson!Belinda waved at Blake and handed her phone to him.Blake's jaw dropped. What did Belinda mean by that?Were they really going to call the Beckards? Was Belinda really willing to start a feud with the Beckards for Sebastian's sake? The Beckards were one of the Eight Great Families of Janover! This was very out of character for Belinda!However, at this point, Blake didn't dare to say anything further. He had no choice but to take Belinda's phone with conflicted feelings. He walked over to Sebastian, looking troubled. "Sebastian, t-tell the head of the Beckard family what you just said!" Blake found Clayton's number in the phone's contacts and made the call."Hello, Madam Dra
"Madam Dragon, the Beckards…" Blake's expression was a sight to behold. About ten days ago, Stephen had been beaten up so badly that he was now a cripple. From what the Beckards had said, Sebastian was probably the culprit. Otherwise, the Beckards wouldn't have sent someone to come all the way to Steinberg to deal with Sebastian.However, Belinda didn't even bother to ask about it. She had just stood up for Sebastian at once. She had never done something like that before!"If they dare to disobey, their entire family will be destroyed!" Belinda spoke shortly but very authoritatively.Trevor's mind went blank at once.When it really came down to it, if it hadn't been for the fact that they were on the Northmans' territory, the Northmans would not even dare to offend someone like Jace!However, the beautiful middle-aged woman standing before him had completely disregarded the Beckards! What kind of entity had Trevor offended?When he thought of the fact that Jace would very lik
Sebastian would not show any mercy to people like Francis.Besides, he already had such a deep feud with the Beckards. Since they were unable to resolve it, they might as well just fight to the death."Don't be impulsive, Mr. Ballard. Remember what I said just now. You have to make the elite unable to lift their heads in front of you. They're your target, not their lapdogs," Belinda said. She took out her phone and made the call right in front of Francis.Kendrick answered. He was the head of the Beckard family."Madam Dragon, it's a rare pleasure to get to speak to you on the phone!" Kendrick's respectful voice came from the other end."The dogs of your family are getting ready to bite. So, Mr. Beckard, tell us what your choice is. Would you rather settle things calmly, or do you want to perish together?" Belinda's tone was as cold as ice. There seemed to be a murderous edge to every word she said."Oh? Why do you say that, Madam Dragon? None of my men would ever dare to treat y
Ryan would remember that scene for the rest of his life. One phone call from Belinda had been all it took, and Francis had had to shoot himself. He had been the captain of the state capital Alpha Strike Force special forces team, and the Beckards had put in a lot of effort to train him.However, Belinda talked and laughed with Sebastian as if they were long-lost friends. Just what kind of person had Ryan offended?The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He had even forgotten about how painful his broken leg was.Hugh looked at Shawn, who was lying in a pool of blood. He spat out a mouthful of bile. "What should we do, Mr. Jones? What should we do?" Cyril scrambled over to Hugh and knelt on the floor, sobbing."The Beckards and the Northmans almost got me killed!" Hugh pulled himself together and picked up his son, whose leg was broken. He said to Cyril, "If you don't want to die, use your brain!"He strode out of the interrogation room without looking back.
