Johnson’s expression didn’t change. There was a brief pause before he spoke again. “Tell me more about this so-called connection. What do you know about the person who pulled the strings?”

Niko replied, “I don’t know much. I only knew this person had helped my father and me a lot. They even gave my father a lot of money before. But I don’t even know the person’s gender. My father never gave me a name, just said the person owed him. That’s why they helped us.”
