Zeke simply chuckled. “Cobra, stop talking. Save your energy. If you don’t shut up, I’ll add another day to your sentence.”
“You’re going to jail! Stop acting like you’re the boss!” Cobra retorted. “Just you wait! I’ll send someone to haunt you once you get your sentence.”
Brent glanced at Cobra before turning to his subordinates. “Bring him to the station too. We need a statement from him.”
Soon, they arrived at the station.
The masters of the four families had been waiting by the doors for a long time.
They roared in excitement upon seeing Zeke being led in by a bunch of police officers, though there was still a hint of regret in their eyes.
If they had known that Zeke would surrender himself so easily, they would not have needed to fork out that previous fifty billion.
They decided to find ways to reclaim the fifty billion once Zeke died.
The four masters began to scoff at Zeke as he walked into the station.
“Haha! Why don’t you show us more of your tricks, Zeke Williams?”
“I thought you weren’t the type to give up easily?”
“Won’t it be such an embarrassment for you to die in prison?”
“Son, here’s the revenge you deserved. I will give you a proper burial once he gets his death sentence!”
Zeke glanced at the four people and asked, “How’re the preparations going for that fifty billion I asked for?”
What the hell?
Helen Zelly flew into a rage. “You’re going to die! Stop fantasizing about that fifty billion!”
“I don’t think you’re going to live that long!”
Zeke shook his head and sighed. “Well, I changed my mind.”
“Considering how rude you’ve been to me; I think fifty billion is no longer sufficient.”
“How about a hundred billion?”
The four masters scoffed in unison.
Does he actually think he’s going to survive this?
“Let’s head to the interrogation room,” Brent said.
“Can we go in too?” Wayde asked.
“We’re the victims here. We’ll be able to counter his lies if he dares to tell any!”
Brent agreed without much thought.
They made their way to the interrogation room.
“Your name, gender and age, please,” Brent said.
“Why don’t you just check my archives?” Zeke asked.
“Stop trying to fool us!” Brent growled, before turning to his assistant Larry and saying, “Go and check his archives.”
Larry nodded and hurried off to the archives room.
Brent decided to stop beating around the bush. “Tell me. Were you the one behind the murder of all those people from the four most prominent families?”
“That’s right, I am,” Zeke said.
Whot the hell?
Helen Zelly flew into o roge. “You’re going to die! Stop fontosizing obout thot fifty billion!”
“I don’t think you’re going to live thot long!”
Zeke shook his heod ond sighed. “Well, I chonged my mind.”
“Considering how rude you’ve been to me; I think fifty billion is no longer sufficient.”
“How obout o hundred billion?”
The four mosters scoffed in unison.
Does he octuolly think he’s going to survive this?
“Let’s heod to the interrogotion room,” Brent soid.
“Con we go in too?” Woyde osked.
“We’re the victims here. We’ll be oble to counter his lies if he dores to tell ony!”
Brent ogreed without much thought.
They mode their woy to the interrogotion room.
“Your nome, gender ond oge, pleose,” Brent soid.
“Why don’t you just check my orchives?” Zeke osked.
“Stop trying to fool us!” Brent growled, before turning to his ossistont Lorry ond soying, “Go ond check his orchives.”
Lorry nodded ond hurried off to the orchives room.
Brent decided to stop beoting oround the bush. “Tell me. Were you the one behind the murder of oll those people from the four most prominent fomilies?”
“Thot’s right, I om,” Zeke soid.
“Was the Eastern Star massacre also your doing?”
“Yes.”
“My leg...” Cobra began.
“I broke it,” Zeke said, cutting him off with a glance.
The four masters were all delighted by his answers.
They had thought Zeke would at least try and spin some kind of tall tale to defend himself. They had even prepared their counterarguments.
Little did they know, Zeke had admitted to the accusations immediately.
He’s asking for it!
“Alright. I will present your statement to the court as evidence,” Brent said. “Detain him until the verdict is made.”
The four masters were jittery with excitement.
Haha! He’s finally going to get what he deserves!
Their long wait for justice was finally over.
Meanwhile, a Hongqi L5 slowly made its way into the station.
It belonged to General Cosmopolis, Wolf’s Greed.
He walked into the archives room with a top-secret archive in his hands.
Larry sat by the desk in the archives room, trying his best to dig out any information regarding Zeke Williams from their systems.
However, the results almost made him fall off his chair in shock.
Zeke’s archives were of ‘SSS’ level confidentiality, which meant that he had no right to read them.
