Theo panicked when he heard that.
Immediately, he flashed a seemingly charming grin. "I was just testing how loyal he is."
Theo then looked at Zed and exclaimed, "Captain Walker passed the test with flying colors! I'm very proud of him!"
Zed puffed his chest up and replied intently and loudly, "Thank you sir for the compliment!"
Nathan smirked.Theo Bennett really is a sly fella.
Just as Theo was feeling relieved, a policeman suddenly stepped inside, saluted them, and greeted loudly, "Good day, sir!"
Zed frowned. "What's up?”
The policeman reported, "Captain Walker, Tory Lancelot threatened us and said that it's ten minutes to twelve. He wants you to apologize to him on your knees and Nathan Cross to kill himself to atone for his mistakes, in addition to handing over the Cross Group to him!"
"That's preposterous!" Zed bellowed.
Just then, Nathan looked at Theo and said, "Theo, since you're here to oversee this case, you should be aware of how smug Tory Lancelot, the criminal, is right now. What do you think we should do?"
Theo, on the other hand, said cautiously, "Mr. Cross, I think it's better for you to decide!"
But Nathan smiled. "Since Tory Lancelot insists on it, I'll go and see him!"
Tory was lying on the metal bed in his cell when the metal door suddenly swung open.
Following that, Theo and Zed appeared at his doorstep.
Excitement flashed in Tory's eyes when he saw Theo because he knew that Dip Turner must've sent him to rescue himself.
With Theo Bennett on my site, even the Mayor of Channing, Russell Crow, needs to think twice before crossing me. I'd like to see if anyone dares to challenge me now?
