Chapter 220 Humiliation at Registration, the Capture and Interrogation
"I acted recklessly when I was young and paid the price." Carlson forced a dry smile, keeping his posture submissive. "All I want now is to live a quiet life.""Twelve years."Carlson moved with practiced ease, filling out all the information in just a few strokes, clearly familiar with this routine. Five minutes later, he handed the form back and asked cautiously. "Officer, could you check if the information is correct?"Carlson stiffened, a flash of embarrassment crossing his eyes, but he dared not disobey. He clenched his fists and slowly walked over to squat beside the wall.Carlson obeyed, his back hunched, his face etched with numbness and humiliation."Put the form on the floor and hold your finger over your signature."Another camera shutter clicked.Carlson stood up, quickly softening his tone and pleading tentatively. "Officer, now that I’ve finished registration, will the routine home visits from this precinct be canceled?"The officer spoke flatly without emotion. "I’ll no
Chapter 219 Interrogation at the Nightclub
He had always assumed the two warning texts came from the same person, someone sending repeated alerts fearing he would rush into battle and become a pawn. But the newly uncovered clues shattered that theory completely. The two sets of numbers were purchased at different times and locations, from two fully separate channels.It was not one person secretly warning him that night — it was two.Two separate factions had both chosen to quietly side with him and subtly sabotage the scheme.Kane stayed silent for a long moment, then issued a firm order. "Head straight to that outlet in South Curtain District. Pull the surveillance footage from that day, identify the person who bought the cards and track their movements.""Understood."Kane narrowed his eyes and murmured as he pieced things together. "Someone doesn’t want me to be used as a weapon. That means they’re close to the mastermind, yet not on the same side. There’s dissent within their ranks, and someone is secretly helping me brea
Chapter 218 Citywide Manhunt
Wade pulled a full pack of cigarettes from his pocket and tossed it to him casually. "Wait for word back. We’ll make the arrangements tonight.""Thanks." Salem caught the cigarettes, turned and left silently, not a single extra word spoken.A little past ten, Hagen was at his desk handling matters for Kane when his phone rang with an unfamiliar number.Hagen dealt with so many people every day that he could not place the voice right away. "Sorry, who’s this?""I got a new job. I need to travel to South Spire on business and require an outbound travel permit."An hour later, Carlson walked to the Black Street Precinct and went straight to find Hagen in the office area.Hagen slid a reporting form across the desk. "Fill in your traveling companions, departure and return times, and the purpose of your trip.""Take this. Show it at checkpoints and random inspections. It’ll let you buy tickets and travel normally."The light faded instantly from Carlson’s eyes, leaving only desolation. He
Chapter 217 Hidden Lines Lurk
“I moved too hastily against Kane this time.” Axel was not too proud to reflect calmly. “There are people right here in Novara who want him dead. That means he’s stepped on multiple interests over there. I don’t need to strike first.”“Exactly.” The middle-aged man across from him nodded in agreement. “We can’t take him out out in the open. These folks live on the edge of a blade; they command a crew of desperate men who’ll risk their lives for money. If we corner them completely, the losses the group suffers won’t be worth it.”Axel nodded. “Fecundo just told me.” “The best way to deal with Kane is to quietly leverage official power.”“Donate five million to the Novara Police Department.”The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up. “That’ll give Kane a world of trouble.”Axel pondered for a moment and rose slowly. “Tonight’s incident really shook me. We’ll put Kane on hold for now. I need to find out who in Novara wants him dead.”The middle-aged man let out a soft laugh. “You’re right. Someo
Chapter 216 The Divisive Plot and Put-On-Hold Blood Feud
“The intel is wrong.” Gage kept his voice dangerously low, heavy with gravity. “Fecundo keeps insisting the hotel ambush wasn’t Vault’s doing. My guy on the scene thinks he’s not lying.”“Call it off!” Kane spoke rapidly, barking the order. “Tell your men, do not touch Fecundo. Hold your positions and wait!”The call ended, and Kane finally pieced everything together.Someone had been pulling the strings from the shadows, tying Vault to the attack through Roger’s identity to spark a deadly fight between the two sides and reap the benefits.Without hesitation, Kane dialed Silla right away.“Alert everyone to halt all operations,” Kane said urgently and firmly. “Vault most likely wasn’t behind the hotel shooting. There’s more to this story. Wait for me to get back and go over everything.”“We’ve been fed a fabricated trail,” Kane summed up grimly. “Stand down first. Don’t open fire recklessly.”......He answered the call, and the bald boss’s unarguable command came through the speaker:
Chapter 215 Anonymous Tip
Fecundo frowned. “Two days of chaos and nothing to show for it. How am I supposed to report to Mr. Axel? Speed things up.”“Then we’ll have to go in hard.” The young man thought for a moment and lowered his voice. “We won’t pull out after it’s done. They’ll turn themselves in right away.”Fecundo asked, “Are the men you found reliable?”“Solid. Two seasoned gamblers who live in casinos, drowning in debt. I promised to wipe all their loans clean plus a payout once the job is finished. They’ll take the hit even if it means a hundred years behind bars.”Fecundo spoke calmly. “Tell them I guarantee no death penalty if they get the job done. The crime takes place in Vierra, and we still hold some sway here.”“Understood, Brother Fecundo.”Fecundo set down his teacup and stood. “That’s the plan. Get moving immediately. I’m heading back to the company to keep pushing the Bradford deal.”“The company wants to poach him?”Fecundo folded his hands behind his back. “That’s right. His team holds
