Chapter 100

As the chaos unfolded in the outside world, nothing but peace and calm hung in the air of the inspector’s

“What’s the situation, Mr. Gardner? Has the kid confessed yet?” asked the Cobra impatiently as soon as he sat

“It doesn’t matter whether he has or not. Any prisoner who falls into my hands is sure to give in eventually.”

“It’s not a problem if you’re on–site, but you can’t guarantee that things won’t take a turn for the worse. I think you ought to get it out of the way while you can,” the Cobra suggested.

“What trouble could possibly arise? I’m just doing my job. Plus, this is my territory. Who would dare disobey
