Chapter 900

The master and his loyal aide's faces changed instantly!

"What are the cops doing here? Whatever it takes, stop them!" Harvey's eyes blazed with fury as he barked orders.

The bodyguard, drenched in sweat, stammered, "But, but they're already..."

"Who's leading the team? What's his name?" Avery Chambers asked with a chilling calm, his eyes hooded and dark.

"Name's... Ashbourne."

Harvey's pupils dilated in shock as he nervously glanced towards Avery, who remained stoic.

Just then, the door to the room was forcefully kicked open, and in strode Detective Aaron Ashbourne, exuding an aura so cold it could freeze over hell, directly into Avery's icy gaze.

"Mr. Chambers, I presume introductions are unnecessary?" Aaron quipped, a mocking smile playing on his lips, though he still formally flashed his badge.

"Aaron, long time no see." Avery's smile was disarmingly charming, devoid of any malice.

"Don't give me that, Mr. Chambers. 'Aaron' out of Thaddeus's mouth is music to my ears. From you? It's like sitting on pins and needles."

A hint of venom flashed in Avery's eyes, barely noticeable.

The Ashbournes always knew how to push his buttons.

"Aaron, whatever you're here for, we can talk. But I'm ill, and your barging in isn't helping my condition," Harvey spat, unable to contain his anger at the disrespect shown to his boss.

"Captain Ashbourne, I'm willing to cooperate with your investigation, but at least let me take my medicine," Avery said, the weakness in his voice belying his usual strength.

"Wait a minute!"

Aaron's voice was firm, and with a gesture, two officers quickly moved to restrain Harvey, snatching away the syringe he was holding.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Harvey struggled, shouting.

"Keep it down, or we're adding assaulting an officer to your charges!" one of the cops snapped.

Avery's gaze darkened, "What's the meaning of this, Captain Ashbourne?"

"We've received complaints, suspecting you of drug possession and usage. You're under arrest," Aaron stated, unblinking, as he handcuffed Avery.
