Zeke saw through his evil plan.

Instantly, he released his energy and sent Teddy flying.

When he sprawled on the floor, he was still confused about what happened. “What was that? What hit me? What's going on?”

Before he could figure it out, a troop rushed in.

It was Bertram and his police force.

They were all dumbfounded the moment they saw the fire.

“What on earth happened? Why is there a fire? Who's on duty? Teddy, is it you?”

“Yes... Yes, it's me.” Teddy's body was aching all over.

Bertram strode across to help him up. “What's the matter, Teddy? Who attacked you? Also, who set the fire?”

Teddy replied, “It's Zeke. He tried to escape prison. That explains the fire. I did my best to stop him but to no avail. I'm badly wounded... Go ahead and subdue him, don't worry about me. He's a dangerous person. I... I suggest you leave the law enforcement recorded on while you shoot him dead. It will save you a lot of trouble.”

Zeke Williams!

Bertram annunciated the name through gritted teeth. Then, he lay Teddy down and whipped out his gun.

As he approached Zeke, his men followed suit. They took out their weapons and aimed them at Zeke.

Suddenly, Bertram stopped when he was about three feet away from Zeke. He asked like an eager predator glaring at its prey, “You killed Rhett and Lucy too, didn't you?”

Zeke shook his head. “No, I did not kill them.”

Bertram shouted, “Rubbish! If you're innocent, why did you plan to break free from prison? You're obviously feeling guilty.”

“How did you know that I want to prison break? Just based on what his one-sided accusations?” Zeke questioned him back.

Bertram was stunned. He's got a point.

“Teddy, do you have any evidence to prove that he's escaping prison? What about your recorder? Was the process captured on video?” Bertram queried.

Teddy's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, I'll be in deep sh*t if Bertram checks the recording. There's evidence of my duel with Sheldon. I wanted to delete it earlier but was interrupted by Zeke.

“Dang it! I can't believe I forgot to turn it on. The fire came like a bolt from the blue. So, I panicked and...” He quickly came up with an excuse.

Bertram looked disappointed, but chose to remain silent.

Then, he turned his gaze to Zeke.

Teddy swiftly seized the opportunity and tossed his recorder into the fire.
