Rise Of The Supreme General

Chapter 7

Adam sat at the van, his heart pounding. "Please you have to let me go, I'm innocent. My mother is dying. I need to get her hospital bill."

"Enough! You think we care? You should have thought twice before you mess with the Odias. You'll be punished severely!" The Chief Officer Philip sneered.

Philip's reputation preceded him – ruthless, unyielding, and feared by criminals citywide. He has the worst punishment for criminals everywhere in the city, making his very name feel like a curse to their ears.

"Where are you taking me to?" Adam asked, his eyes trying to peek through the window.

"To face justice!" Philip replied, he gestured, and his men covered Adam's face with a black hood.

....

Central Command Center.

This was Almond City's number 1 police station. Adam was dragged out of the van and led into a dark room, the steel door clanged shut behind him. It was the interrogation room.

Adam was forced onto a cold metal chair, the black wood was ripped from his head, making him blink away tye darkness.

The first thing Adam saw was Philip sitting next to him, with a wooden table at their center, some files were placed on it.

"Where am I?" Adam asked.

"Like I said earlier to face judgment." Philip replied with a deepened frown.

"Am I getting a lawyer?" Adam was tense.

Philip snorted, "A lawyer? You're so delusional. Do you think you can afford a lawyer?"

"The government is supposed to provide me with one." Adam replied, uncertain about his current situation.

Philip's brow furrowed when he realized Adam was actually smart. "No more questions. Whether you have a lawyer or not, you can't escape your fate. And I Philip will make sure you get punished."

Philip then pushed the file on the table closer to Adam. "First I'll need you to sign this. Now!"

Adam saw the spelling on it, "Divorce papers!"

"Why are you the one giving me this? Where's Racheal? We had a deal."

"You really think I have time for this? Are you going to sign this or you want me to do this the hard way?" Philip threatened.

Adam stayed on his decision not to sign the divorce papers, it was his only way to get his mother's treatment. And if he signed it without the money he's never going to save his mother.

"Very well then. Get to work boys, beat him to a pulp!" Philip ordered.

The two officers guarding the entrance suddenly came in, they covered his face once again with the hood and turned his face into a punching bag.

They hit him so hard he fell on the floor, they continued kicking and hitting him with a baton. Adam's body couldn't take the pain anymore, he curled his body into a ball to guide his head and vital organs. Suddenly he started feeling dizzy, his consciousness slipping away.

"Bring him up!" Philip instructed. They poured a bucket of icy water on Adam to keep him alive.

"Now, will you sign this or you will want me to continue the torture?" Philip's words were like that of the devil, it sent fear down Adam's spine.

Adam had to stay strong for his mother's sake, he was determined to endure all their beating as long as he won't sign the papers. "My mother...if I sign that I won't get the money. I c—"

His words were cut short with a slap from Philip that sent him on the floor. "Break his legs!"

Upon hearing this Adam's eyes widened in horror, the men covered his face once again and continued their assault. They smashed his legs with their batons with heavy force.

Adam's scream filled the entire station, his cries for help were like those from a haunted mansion.

“Stop! Please, stop!” Adam's voice shredded with agony. But yet he was completely ignored, no one dared challenge Philip in the police department and besides Adam was just a nobody who would care about him. Adam's legs twisted at unnatural angles, his bones splintering like brittle twigs.

Philip walked up to Adam who was battered, lying on the floor, soaked in his own blood, tears and sweat. His legs were completely damaged and he would likely never use them again
