Chapter 11 Consequences Await Everyone

  • Vulture Squad?
  • Elite Commandos?
  • Identification for high-ranking military personnel?
  • Just when perplexity began to rise, numerous duplicate papers surfaced on the dark room's ground!
  • Whoosh—
  • A chill of cold sweat ran down the officers' bodies.
  • A tremor of fear coursed through them!
  • Who exactly had they apprehended?
  • ...
  • At Halcyon Hotel.
  • The relentless ticking of the clock seemed to echo.
  • Milo had been watching the clock for over an hour.
  • The members of the Vulture Squad, who were supposed to rendezvous with Damon, were still missing.
  • Drago was on his way, but the Undefeated War God had not appeared yet. Could there have been a mishap?
  • This thought sent his pulse racing, compelling him to summon the guard at the door quickly and instruct, "Hurry, find out why they haven't returned yet!"
  • Three minutes passed.
  • The guard returned, his anxiety palpable.
  • "Captain Tyndall!
  • "I've investigated the matter!
  • "The invincible war god, along with the Vulture Squad members, have been apprehended and taken to the police station!"
  • "Arrested and brought to the police station?"
  • Milo's eyes grew wide with shock.
  • The local police had managed to apprehend the invincible war god?
  • What on earth was going on!
  • What would happen if this information leaked?
  • "Let's go there immediately!"
  • Without a chance to change, Milo rushed out with the remaining members of the Vulture Squad towards the police station.
  • Arriving at the station, Milo stepped out and commanded, "Encircle this place. Allow no entry!"
  • "Understood!"
  • The cries of the Vulture Squad members echoed powerfully.
  • The noise prompted several police officers to emerge from the station.
  • They were momentarily stunned by the spectacle.
  • One seasoned officer regained his composure and, with a couple of coughs, inquired, "Identify yourselves. What is happening here ... "
  • Before he could complete his question, Milo flashed his identification.
  • "Where have you detained today's arrests? Speak!"
  • Milo's tone was sharp.
  • Surprised by the authority Milo's credentials conveyed, the officer quickly responded, "They're ... this way, please come with me!"
  • "Four, stay at the entrance. The rest follow me!"
  • Driven by rage and concern, Milo was ready to protect the War God of Cruice from any injustice suffered at the station!
  • He swiftly went to the interrogation room behind the seasoned officer.
  • In the cold setting of the interrogation room, Damon was the picture of composure, sitting with an effortless grace. The highest-ranking officials of the Elmwood Police Station stood before him, resembling reprimanded children too scared to utter a sound.
  • "My name is Director Copper," he announced, "from the Cracsa Police Station.
  • "These individuals are the bureau's deputy directors."
  • "This has to be some sort of mistake, a complete misunderstanding!" the deputy directors managed to stammer out, mopping the sweat from their brows.
  • A single misstep could spell the end of their careers.
  • The revelation of the identities of the Vulture Squad members threw the Elmwood Police Station into turmoil!
  • The notion of detaining senior military officials from the special forces was enough to send shivers down anyone's spine.
  • If they don't manage the situation carefully, they might resign.
  • Damon, crossing his legs and wearing a knowing smirk, responded, "Oh, there's no need to stand on ceremony. It appears we're the suspects now.
  • "You mentioned earlier your intentions to 'teach us a lesson.'"
  • The faces of the deputy directors grew grim at his words.
  • Despite their courage, they would never dream of confronting senior military officers.
  • Especially not a group of them.
  • Damon's identity was unknown to them, which, had they known, would have rendered them speechless.
  • Director Copper mopped his brow, insisting, "There's been some confusion here!"
  • "Confusion?"
  • Damon's eyes flickered towards Captain Logan, hidden amidst the crowd.
  • Would this confusion have arisen if the Vulture Squad hadn't revealed who they were?
  • Exiting the police station today would prove difficult for anyone ordinary.
  • "Logan, what's going on!?"
  • Pale-faced, Director Copper glared with an intensity that seemed almost predatory.
  • Fumbling for words, Captain Logan managed, "It's just a mix-up, I didn't realise."
  • In his thoughts, he vehemently cursed Morris and the Long family, not just once but a hundred times!
  • Damon was described as a poor boy without any notable connections.
  • What a total farce!
  • "Do you really think knowing who I am will stop you from capturing me?"
  • A chilling look took over Damon's expression.
  • "Is this the norm for how officers of the law behave?
  • "Do you exclusively pursue the common folks while sparing those with power?"
  • Captain Logan found himself at a loss for words, feeling a cold sweat start to form on his brow.
  • Slap!
  • With a swift motion, Director Copper's hand came down hard on Captain Logan's cheek.
  • Merely a short ten minutes prior, Captain Logan had been all bravado and defiance, yet now he sat, too fearful to even draw a deep breath!
  • "Don't worry! All will be explained to you shortly!
  • "Can you leave the interrogation room for now? We could find a more comfortable place to talk."
  • Damon stood unmoving.
  • The Vulture Squad members were right by his side.
  • Director Copper felt an urge to cry in the company of these venerable individuals.
  • Confusion reigned, leaving him uncertain about his next move.
  • While it was easy to seek help, discarding it proved to be an arduous task!
  • At that moment, he harboured a desire to physically confront Captain Logan.
  • The upper echelon of the bureau cast a look filled with hatred towards Captain Logan, instilling him with fear.
  • He recognised the precariousness of his situation.
  • His job was at stake, and his freedom, as he pondered a future confined by prison walls.
  • Acknowledging his dire circumstances, he began to hit himself in the face with his large hand.
  • Slap, slap, slap!
  • Captain Logan used as much force as he could muster with every strike.
  • Soon, his face was marked by the physical evidence of his self-punishment.
  • "Distinguished seniors, Director Copper, I admit my mistakes. Please, I beg for your forgiveness. Your nature is to be lenient, so I implore you to let me go!"
  • Captain Logan's pleas for clemency were relentless, fuelled by deep remorse.
  • Unfortunately, his pleas fell on deaf ears.
  • Everyone must bear the consequences of their actions!
