As he slowly raised his head, a sharp glint flitted across his eyes before disappearing into the void.
Even though the conditions of the interrogation room were not very good, at least he had the entire place to himself.
It’s good that no one disturbs me here, but… He shot a glance at the door. It’s already seven in the morning, so they should have brought breakfast by now. I’m only here to assist the investigation; I’m not even a suspect. So the fact that they didn’t even provide breakfast…
“Hmph! Petty fellows!”
He let out a cold snort before closing his eyes again as he continued to sit cross-legged on the bed.
As the leader of the Scarlet Dragons, the conditions were much harsher when they first started building the group.
Let alone eating, they would have to be vigilant even when they were sleeping. After all, the Four Outer Districts were much more dangerous than Paramount.
Since there were no distractions in the room, he had the time to analyze his fight with Stephen the other day.
He knew he definitely overpowered Stephen, but if they were just competing by the techniques, he lost to Stephen by half a move.
He had never encountered such a situation after he had finished the training from the Secret Record of the War Deity.
Even when he was fighting against the leader of the Meteorite, it was an easy fight for him. He easily defeated the top forces in no time.
Hence, the fact that he lost to Stephen by technique alone slightly dampened his proud spirits.
Nevertheless, he was a person who would take defeats with vigor. When he stabbed Jaylen, he was still a nobody. Yet, now he had a power so strong no one could contend with.
He closed his eyes and replayed the fight numerous times in his head to try to think of a way to retaliate. Finally, he found the solution, and he felt all his doubts dissolving.
He opened his eyes in the room, as though a flash of lightning had just struck.
Xavier, who had just arrived at the door, felt a chill down his spine.
We locked him up for a day, not giving him any food or drinks. We didn’t even speak a single word to him. I bet his mental condition is in disarray right now. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
However, he was surprised when he saw the sharp look in Jacob’s eyes.
“They have already decided on your crime–”
“Idiots.”
Jacob shot a cold look at him before standing up.
He had already given Stephen enough credit for staying here for a night, and he had also fulfilled his promise.
Judging by the attitudes of the policemen who worked here, he had no plans to continue staying.
When he stood up, his bones started cracking one by one, as though there was a firework. It only stopped after a while.
Then, Xavier realized that he seemed to become a completely different person.
The first time around, he was like a sword that was already prepared for a fight. By just looking at him, one could feel the sharpness of his edge.
At that moment, the sword seemed to have returned to its sheath, but it felt even more dangerous.
“So, have you reflected upon your mistakes? Are you ready to admit to your guilt?”
“Tsk. I’m not going to play this game with you anymore. I’ve already cooperated with your investigations. Since you can’t find any concrete evidence, and you only know how to muddle things up, I have no reason to stay here any longer.”
