Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 1430

Colt leaned back in his chair, looking anything but like a prisoner.

Officer Derick stared at Colt, saying, "I've been asked to question you. Trust me, I'd rather not be pulling an all-nighter, but when a bigwig makes a request, what can you do?"

Colt quickly figured it had to be Sophie trying to get Officer Derick to pry information out of him.

"Having Officer Derick interrogate me personally? Talk about overkill."

Colt said, "I've already told Sophie earlier today that I can't spill the beans. No matter how sweet or tough you talk, Officer Derick, you won't get a single word out of me that you want to hear."

Officer Derick took a deep breath and said, "We've known each other for a while, Colt. If you don't start talking, I really can't finish my job, and I might have to... use some less-than-official means."

"No matter what you say, Officer Derick, my response is the same: I have nothing to disclose."

Hearing this, Officer Derick's face darkened. Immediately, a cop next to Colt raised his fist and punched him. With his hands cuffed, Colt couldn't fight back, and before long, he was on the floor.

"Still planning on staying quiet?"

Officer Derick leaned back in his chair, looking annoyingly relaxed as he watched Colt. "If you don't talk, you're in for a world of pain. Think it over."

Colt clearly wasn't budging. Seeing Colt's stubbornness, Officer Derick gave a nod, and Colt took another beating, this time leaving him bleeding.
