William was shocked when he heard the order.
Letting him out? Isn't that a bit too much? But since he also wanted to help the young lady, he agreed.
With the support of his superiors, he now felt confident.
"Roger that, Chief," he said, putting the phone down without hanging up.
He looked at Josh and Donovan, a smirk creeping onto his face.
Seeing his grin, a sense of dread washed over them, they knew that something good must have happened from that call.
"Chief Johnson just called and said that Alexander is innocent and should not be detained. Are you doubting his word too?" he finished with a smirk.
Josh and even Donovan the lawyer, frowned in disbelief.
They couldn't believe the Chief of Police had personally gotten involved.
Meanwhile, Valentine who was standing nearby, let out a sigh of relief and silently thanked her father.
She clearly remembered that she called her father, thinking that his father must have taken action.
Donovan's expression darkened he knew they were at a disadvantage, but he refused to back down.
"Even if the Chief of Police says so, the evidence is here. That troublemaker needs to be locked up," he said, trying to sound confident.
Seeing Donovan's unyielding stance, William calmly put the phone to his ear and relayed the situation to the person on the other end.
Donovan, however, remained unfazed for he believed that the law was on his side.
Hearing this Johnson just replied nonchalantly, "Oh can you give the phone towards that Donovan" he stated.
Taking the phone off his ear, he then passed the phone to Donovan, "Here Chief Johnson wants to talk to you".
Donovan took the phone and put it in his ear and said his statement, "Chief this problem is hard for you to handle, the evidence is clear and if you want to help Alexander out. You need to hire a lawyer to represent him" He said with a smile, knowing that he can won this.
The voice on the other end of the phone was emotionless but firm. "Don't get yourself involved in this case if you want to continue your career as a lawyer. The person behind him can bend the law just to get him out."
Donovan's brow furrowed upon hearing this.
The situation was trickier than he had anticipated.
"Who's behind him?" he asked, a sense of unease creeping in.
Johnson replied, "The Prime Minister".
Hearing this Donovan faced fell and some sweat began to pour on his face, the prime minister involved his self just to let this kid out, "What is his background?" He though inwardly.
After hearing the answer he give the call back to William and looked at the two besides him, his confidence was no more and a hint of fear was visible on his face, "I'm sorry, this case is beyond my power" he said as he leaves the police station.
Seeing this situation Josh and Gavin was stunned even the beautiful policewoman was dumbfounded, the guy was clearly in high spirit but now he surrendered without any second thoughts.
"Just who is that kid?" she said inwardly.
"So now that the trouble is done, I'll escort Alexander out of the interrogation room" William said, with smile of triumph as he looked at the two.
The two faces fell even Gavin was unwilling, but he could not put up a fight, he knew that the kid could get out now.
Even a famous attorney give up. No matter how unwilling he was he can only accept defeat as he leaved the police station.
The call then was ended and William with beautiful policewoman besides him, went to the interrogation room and saw Alexander sitting with his hand cuffed, "I'm verry sorry for not investigating the situation clearly, you're free now and you are innocent in this situation"
"Carla go ahead and released him" William said, Carla then took action as she took the key and released Alexander from the handcuffed.
Alexander look at the police woman and William with gratitude, "Thank you for proving me innocence officer"
Hearing this William was filled with smiles as he waved his palm, "No, no don't need to thank me, follow me out Ms. Valentine is outside waiting for you" as he stood up leaving the interrogation room.
Alexander then saw outside it was none other than Valentine in an office suit, when she saw him he smiled and run over to him, "Alex are you hurt anywhere?" she said worriedly.
Feeling her care to him Alexander smiled, "Don't worry Ms. Valentine I'm fine I was not mistreated during my interrogation."
Hearing this Valentine sighed in relief as he took Alexander palm, "I'll take you back home it's so late at night now, there's no more ride at this hour. Uncle William I'll go and take Alexander back thank you for your help, Uncle" she said gratefully.
William smiled but shook his head, he knew that he did not provide any help even if he wasn't here Alexander could still leave.
Since he has the backing of the Chief of Police, if he heard that even the Prime Minister was involved during the call he would be shocked.
After getting out of the police station they were at the parking area and he saw that Valentine went inside on an expensive sports car, "Is this your car Ms. Valentine?" Alexander said in awe.
Seeing his expression Valentine was amused at his expression, "Yes it's mine hurry and get inside"
As he heard her reply Alexander was skeptical isn't she was just an owner of a restaurant how could she buy an expensive car.
But since he was an outsider he had no say to this matter and just keep his mouth shut.
Finally he arrived back, just outside of his apartment as he got out to his car Valentine bade his farewell before leaving.
The throtle of the car sounded as the figure of the car dissapeared.
Alexander then went back into his room and before he can slumped down to his bed he recieved a message, opening he saw that it was Claire.
[Claire: Alexander are you okay did the Black Serpent Gang hurt you]
[Alexander: Don't worry I was never hurt, quite the opposite it was them who hurt themeselves]
Reading the text Claire laugh and replied, [Claire: I'm sorry for bringing trouble to you I'll try to repay you again next time.]
[Alexander: No need its just a trivial matter]
[Claire: No let me treat you, you cant say no to this]
Alexander could only agree so they have conversation for a while until it was done, when he was about to put his phone on the table.
His phone started ringing and it's an unknown number, picking up the call he heard the voice of the person that he could never forget.
"I heard you were detained for getting into a brawl with some gangsters. Can you stop causing trouble that might hurt you?" the man on the other end of the line said.
Alexander's expression turned icy as he responded coldly, "Isn't it a bit late for you to start caring about the son you abandoned to fend for himself? Don't call me again. I have no family anymore no mother, nor a father. I don't want to see your face ever again." He hung up, his emotions in turmoil, but after a while, he managed to calm down.
The anger that is within him for years cannot be forgotten, since he was thrown aside, he will never be part of that family ever again.
The other side of the phone who looked exactly Alexander, but he had a noble aura and the only difference is he had brown hair and a bit of maturity.
He slowly put his phone down when the call was ended, he sighed as he gazed at the night sky.
"Am I really wrong for accepting father's words? I'll just let his anger subside for a while and wait for him to return since his 18 now, his training is finally ended" The man said as he closed his eyes.
