Chapter 2931
"Well, it's not like you're dead yet," one of the men shrugged indifferently.
Damien seethed with anger. "Don’t you want to get information from me anymore?"
"Hmph, when our boss arrives, you won't have a say in what you want to say or not," the man replied fiercely.
Damien couldn't help but feel frustrated. At this point, he didn't have much leverage, so he had to ensure his own interests were secured. Otherwise, if they burned bridges, he’d be the one left in a tough spot.
"Boss!"
As he was contemplating, Damien heard several people calling out, prompting him to look up.
Frowning at the man approaching, Damien asked, "Are you Scorpio?"
"Speak," Scorpio responded tersely, not saying much else.
Damien knew Scorpio wanted him to divulge information about Water Crest, but he wasn't foolish enough to reveal anything at this point.
Struggling to stand up, Damien negotiated, "This place isn't secure. You have to take me to a safe location before I can tell you anything."
"Actually, death is the safest," Scorpio remarked calmly, as if what he said wasn't something cruel.
Damien shivered, but he spoke with clenched teeth, "Since it's death anyway, why should I tell you?"
As they exited the building, they noticed something was amiss. Cars suddenly appeared. "Boss, run!" one of the men yelled, realizing danger was imminent.
Scorpio bolted, followed by Damien, who knew that staying meant certain capture.
The remaining men stayed behind to provide cover for their escape but were swiftly overwhelmed and apprehended.
Within moments, Damien was recaptured, but Scorpio had vanished. The men in black, relieved that Scorpio had escaped, were taken to the police station.
Damien, in a separate vehicle, resumed his "journey" to the courthouse.
Max, observing the scene, said to Seth and his group, "Let's head back."
