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!
