Suddenly, the mysterious man took out his dark sunshades and spread out his coat to make his mouth visible, it was only then that Romeo recognized him."Thompson, what are you doing here?""Come on my prince, did you ever think that we would let you die as easy as this?""Hmmm, that is sweet of you. How did you find me?""Joseph Schultz sent word to us.""And how many of you are here?""A hundred!"Romeo's eyes widened in astonishment as Lt. General Thompson's revelation sank in. About a hundred soldiers, loyal to his cause, were lurking in the shadows, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice. The magnitude of their commitment left Romeo speechless, a mixture of disbelief and gratitude flooding his senses."That's... incredible," Romeo stammered, struggling to comprehend the sheer scale of the operation orchestrated to ensure his safety.Lt. General Thompson's eyes gleamed with determination, his posture exuding readiness for any command from his prince. "Yes, my prince. We

"Thank you, Mr. Smith," the judge interjected, his voice was firm yet impartial. "And now, Miss Blackwood, it is time for your closing argument. Please proceed."Miss Blackwood rose once again, her posture poised and confident. She glanced briefly at Romeo, offering him a reassuring nod before turning her attention back to the jury."Ladies and gentlemen of the jury," she began, her voice was steady, "you have seen and heard the evidence presented in this case. You have seen the circumstances that led to the tragic events of that day. Now, it is time to consider what truly matters—justice."She walked to the center of the courtroom, her gaze sweeping over the jurors. "The prosecution would have you believe that Mr. Stewart is a criminal, but nothing could be further from the truth. He is a man who found himself in a life-threatening situation and acted to protect himself. Isn't that what any of us would do in such circumstances?"Miss Blackwood paused, allowing her words to sink in. "

"Stop. I don't care about how much Mr Joseph is going to pay you anymore." Romeo halted the inspector's speech.Inspector Bachmann was stunned by Romeo's sudden disinterest. His mouth opened and closed, but no words came out. Romeo's abrupt shift in focus left him bewildered, unable to comprehend Romeo's change in attitude."I can't deny the fact that I am surprised that you no longer want to know about how much I would cash…""Yeah, you can keep the information about the cash to your stupid old selfish self." Said Romeo."But what I want to get from you, is your word.""What word?" Inspector Bachmann looked confused.Romeo leaned closer towards the inspector and said. "I want you to promise me that you are going to give everything you've got to see to it that those involved are brought to justice, and when I mean everything you've got, I mean a hundred and twenty percent. Agreed?"Inspector Bachmann stared at Romeo in disbelief, his mind reeling from the sudden turn of events. The no

The next day dawned with a pall of tension hanging over Inspector Bachmann as he sat behind the wheel of his Toyota Hilux Gr sport, the morning sun casting long shadows across the busy streets of Yunche. With a furrowed brow, he dialed a familiar number, his fingers tapping anxiously against the steering wheel as he waited for the call to connect."Hello, am I speaking with Emma Shadowfield?" Inspector Bachmann's voice cut through the silence, firm and authoritative."Yes. Please can I know the person I am speaking with?" Emma's voice crackled over the line, as her tone was tinged with apprehension at the unexpected call."You are speaking with Inspector Bachmann. Head of the major crimes division and corrections director at the Yunche prison facility." His words carried a weight of authority, commanding attention even over the crackling phone line.Emma's response was immediate, her voice betraying a hint of nervousness as she stammered out a reply. "Oh, Inspector Bachmann. It is yo

"Yes, I am one of Leo's lackeys, or better still, I was one of Leo's lackeys, but that doesn't matter now. What matters is the fact that I am willing to help you win this fight against that corky bastard." the inmate admitted, his voice low but earnest.Romeo's confusion deepened, his brow furrowing even more. "Wait, if you are really serious with what you say, may I ask, why the sudden change? Why do you want to help me? I am curious.""Come on, Romeo, every inmate here at the Yunche prison facility admires your act of bravado any time you stand up against Leo. No one has ever stood up to Leo the way you did. His domineering presence in and around this correctional facility makes other inmates, including me, sick," the inmate explained passionately."Why then did you decide to take sides with him then?" Romeo asked, trying to make sense of the sudden change in allegiance.The inmate's expression turned sour, a mix of disgust and disappointment evident on his face. "Funny enough, I am
