Chapter 197

Mr Bernard glowered at Alex, jabbing a thick finger into his chest.

"Kid, your woman here's the only one with a damn brain. Listen to her while you still can. Confess, turn yourself in- and maybe, just maybe, you'll live long enough to see the sun rise again. Otherwise, I'll make sure you're hunted down like a

rabid dog.

His voice shook with anger, cheeks flushing as he spat out every syllable.

"I'm a cop, boy. I've got the entire force in my back pocket. Face me if you want, but you're playing with fire!"

Alex locked eyes with him, silent. Then, in one swift move, he drove his boot into Bernard's gut. The impact sent the man lurching.

"You're not worthy to wear that badge."

Bernard's gag echoed around the small interrogation room

He lurched forward, retching violently, his half-digested dinner splashing onto the concrete.

As if that weren't enough, the sour stench of urine followed Bernard's face flamed, tears mixing with sweat.

"You-You piece of shit!" he sputtered between wheezing coughs and another wave of vomit.

Sophia's voice trembled with fear.

"Alex, have you completely lost your mind? You realize what you've done, right? If Bernard dies-hell, if he even has a broken bone-everyone in this room becomes

an accessory. The entire country will be gunning for you!"

A flicker of concern flashed in Alex's eyes, but it vanished as quickly as it appeared. His tone was cold,

emotionless.

"He'd never let us walk out of here anyway. We might as well finish him off." Sophia nearly choked on her own terror.

"It's not too late! Alex, please-stop! There's another way. We can't fix anything if you kill him!"

Bernard, hunched and heaving, managed to let out a low, venomous chuckle. "Listen to your woman, asshole. One wrong move and I'll personally make sure you, your family, and anyone you've ever said hello to suffers."
