Alexander sat calmly in the interrogation room, his hands cuffed, but there was no panic. If he wanted to, he could easily break free using brute force.
Yet, he didn't. He wasn't even sure if he could dodge bullets, let alone escape the station.
Meanwhile, in the main hall of the police station, a blond man spoke to a middle-aged officer in uniform, grinning.
"Officer Josh, make sure that Alexander guy suffers for beating up James and humiliating me. If possible, lock him up for a few years," Gavin said with a smirk.
Gavin's attitude were the same as James, he was deeply humiliated by someone with no background.
He thought beating them up would intimidate him, but now he planned to teach Alexander that strength is meaningless without connections.
Josh, the middle-aged officer, gave a sly grin. "Don't worry, Young Master Gavin. I'll make sure this boy suffers for crossing you. I'll show him just how small he really is for daring to offend the both of you," he said, flashing a wide smile.
Seeing a police lieutenant curry favor with him made Gavin smile proudly. This was the power of money and status. Suddenly, the sound of high heels echoed through the main hall.
As they turned to look, a stunning woman entered, a beauty with long, sexy legs and a mature, well-defined face that could charm any man. Her ruby-red hair gleamed as she walked gracefully.
Beside her stood a middle-aged man in a crisp police uniform, sharp with gold stripes on the shoulders indicating his senior rank. He exuded authority and experience, his demeanor calm but commanding.
When Lieutenant Josh saw the middle-aged man enter, he frowned, immediately recognizing him. The two newcomers approached Josh and the blond-haired Gavin.
"Is there a young man named Alexander being detained here, Lieutenant Josh?" the middle-aged man asked, his voice filled with authority.
Hearing this, Josh respectfully clasped his hands together and replied, "Yes, Assistant Chief William. He's in the interrogation room for the crime he committed. This is Young Master Gavin from the Murphy Family in Manila. He reported that the kid not only beat up some gang members, but also severely injured his two bodyguards." Josh spoke with confidence, barely acknowledging William's authority.
In his mind, with the backing of Young Master Gavin from the Murphy family and the Black Serpent Gang, a promotion was already within his reach, as long as nothing went wrong of course.
He knew he couldn't compete with William Leywin, a man he despised. Not only did William hold a high position, but many people loved him for his upright personality.
But with the support of the Murphy family and the Black Serpent Gang, Josh felt no fear in confronting William. Meanwhile, Gavin's eyes remained fixated on Valentine, filled with lust as he wondered what it would be like to have such a high-class woman under his control.
"Hello I am Gavin Murphy, nice to meet you beautiful lady. Can you give me the honor to know your name" his smile is pure but his eyes of lust lied from his actions.
Valentine who saw this felt disgusted, she really want to slap this guy away but did not do so, "Put your hand back you make me sick, I don't shake hands to young guy who only know how to rely on their families and bully the weak." she said coldly with disgust on her face.
Gavin hearing her sarcastic remarks had some black lines on his face, "Why don't we find out if I'm a young guy lady, do you want me to show you in action" he said with laugh.
Hearing this Valentine was even more disgusted from his perverted attitude, she just ignored him like he was some kind of pests. Seeing that he was ignored Gavin was so angry.
"Seargent Josh, I heard that Alexander was ganged up by some gangs when he was in the convenience store. Leading for him to use self-defense in the process tell me why he should be detained?" William said with his face serious.
"Assistant chief, this problem only occurs because he greatly assaulted the other party, this is not self-defense anymore. So, he must be detained, to be good for all of the people he must be arrested so problem like this will not happen again" Josh said with a smile not respecting the person in front of him.
Valentine chest heaved up and down and was about to talk back, but was stopped by William, he looked at Josh in front of him and his eyes turned sharped, "William in case you forgot, talking to your superiors in that manner is a sign of not being respectful to their seniors. Also, I heard that he only used self-defense since the other party attacked first in that situation, tell me what we are going to handle this situation?" he said with ice block cold eyes.
Josh was in a lot of pressured and does not know how to reply suddenly a shout caught their attention, "If you're asking how to handle this situation then this kid should be locked up for 10 years to let him know a valuable lessons."
As they looked at the person it was a man with a sharp, tailored suit with dark in color, with crisp lines, a clean, white dress shirt underneath the suit and a subtle but elegant tie, a sleek wristwatch, and well-polished leather shoes.
His appearance made William frowned and troubled, "So tell me assistant chief shouldn't my suggestion good?" The guy smiled as he looked William eye to eye.
"I did not know that the Black Serpent Gang, is fast in taking actions. They actually contacted you a top defense attorney Mr. Victor Donovan" William said with a broken a smile.
He knew that with this person here the trouble had become more troublesome.
Then the beautiful policeman came to them and saw that this must be the two parties, the other is from the gang and he even saw his superiors protecting that kid.
But when she saw the beautiful woman besides his superior, she suddenly understands that this lady was the boss of the restaurant according to the information she read.
She greeted his two superiors and Gavin who was besides Josh saw another high-quality woman, he could not help but drool.
He did not see her figure during at that time, because the fear of getting beaten up clouded his mind.
The policewoman seeing this even him, was feeling disgusted. The attorney seeing her asked directly.
"Have you done with the interrogation? So did he admit his mistakes?" The attorney said.
Hearing his words and seeing what he was wearing she knew that this guy must be a lawyer, "Yes, but he said that it was in self-defense and the 2nd party attacked him first." The policewoman answered defending Alexander.
The lawyer raised an eyebrow, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Of course, he is. Self-defense is always the easy out. We'll see how that holds up in court."
Hearing this all of them were now in a hard position, Josh and Gavin was smiling from ear to ear knowing that they've won this round. Suddenly when the silence was prolonged enough, a sound of call reverberated throughout the place.
It was from the assistant chief William, picking it up he remembered that this number is from the Chief of Police the highest-ranking officer in the police department, responsible for overall management. He was confused why is his superiors was calling at this moment.
Picking he said respectfully, "Good evening Chief is there any problem you want to share"
"Did you detain some kid named Alexander?" The voice of the other side inquired, directly.
Hearing this William was stunned wondering how their chief knows about something trivial as this, "Yes we have caught a kid named Alexander he is currently being interrogated" He replied respectfully.
The other side did not speak for a while until he commanded, "Let him out no matter what".
