"Damn, so we have to ruin some other people's life huh. It couldn't be easy now, could it." complained Fushichin.

"Who knows, maybe the murderer is also in cahoots with him. The interrogation team will know how to squish all the juice out of Nile better." said Klancy.

Klancy's radio transmitter resounded.

"Klancy, sir, we are at the mansion you described, over" said the mysterious voice.

"Right, we'll bring the suspect to you right away, over" said Klancy.

Nile was dragged outside of the mansion where a police car awaited him. Klancy and Galtomor put Nile into the car. But it wasn't just Nile who was to be put into the car. Mikhail and Marian were also to be put into the police cars. Mikhail for attempting to steal personal information from the Sushihara family. Marian for first degree attempted murder.

"So cruel. I was hoping I would at least see my daughter's face before being put at the detention center." said Marian with sadness outside of the mansion.

"You'll get your chance when she visits you." said Galtomor seriously.

"Yeah, I suppose. But..."

Marian's eyes became full of tears.

"I don't care what you say, I want to see my daughter now! Can't you people just wait?" raged Marian at Galtomor.

"We brought a police car to take away the confirmed criminals. Your detention cell has already been prepared. It would be a waste of effort to not take you away." said Klancy coldly.

"That's your reason? I'm telling you to wait." ordered Marian.

She further added "If you don't let me see my daughter, I will stop testifying anything related to Tenma's case. You hear me?"

"We still have your testimony." said Salim

"Oh, you think I told everything in that? Guess again. And even if I did, I can just retract every claim I made." said Marian violently.

Klancy looked at Marian with cold deadly eyes but she fiercely frowned back.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

"Mom..." said Mew with sadness from behind her.

"Please, at least listen to her cause and wait. She is an important witness to a murder, right?" asked Yumiko.

"I mean, I agree. What is there to rush?" said Fushichin.

Klancy sighed.

"Fine, I'll try to talk to the higher ups about this." said Klancy with distraught.

"Umm, me too right? Can I at least meet my girlfriend and tell her about what is gonna happen to me?" asked Mikhail innocently.

"Ugh, see, this is why going against the rules is wrong. You get assholes like him, trying to take advantage of our kindness. Yeah, sure, might as well escape this country then." grunted Klancy with frustration.

"What's wrong with him wanting to meet his girlfriend? And what's wrong with him fleeing the country huh?" said Fushichin casually.

"What?" gasped Klancy with a frown.

"He is a criminal who tried to steal information from a family, he deserves punishment." frowned Salim.

"Heh, maybe you all deserve punishment for being so gung ho about imprisoning people." said Fushichin with blank eyes.

"What the hell are you on? We're working according to the law and rules of this country." yelled Galtomor.

"Then allow him to flee to another country. If he is in another country, our law stops applying right? Or hide in shadows if he doesn't have the budget. Hell, hide long enough for the case to expire." said Fushichin casually.

"Suggesting to a criminal to go up against the authority even more, are you insane or that desperate to lose your job?" said Klancy with anger.

"I'm not suggesting him to steal more or hurt others more. I'm suggesting to him that it's right to fight for your own freedom." said Fushichin confidently.

Klancy and Fushichin stared at one another with sharp eyes.

"Why are you here? If you don't want to follow the rules, act immature, why did you become a cop?" asked Klancy.

"Why were you ever born if you were just gonna live like a machine?" asked Fushichin with a smirk.

"Damn." muttered Galtomor with a raised brows.

Klancy shot an irritated look towards Fushichin and looked at Mikhail.

"Fine, but Salim is gonna go with you." said Klancy.

"Thank you." said Mikhail with a smile.

Mew watched the events folding before her silently. Soon she turned her head towards Marian and with sadness said "Why do you still care about Hori? You were so cruel to us, and now you're just being-"

"You think I never cared? "You think I did all this because I didn't care enough? When all these years, I raised you and protected you. How could you forget about those times like this." said Marian with desperation and added "I just wanted you and Hori to have a good and respectable life."

"What do you know about a good life? All you cared about is what others think. You sought respect from others, that's why you were so adamant about controlling us, right?" grunted Mew.

"You fools are just kids. You're being driven by your childish emotions." hissed Marian.

“And you're not childish? The way you try to decide our fate as if we're your play dolls." yelled Mew.

"Heh, since I'll sit in prison, I guess you'll be finally free then. If my way of protecting you two is wrong...maybe you'll find your freedom after I'm gone." said Marian with sadness.

Marian smiled ruefully towards her. But only sadness could be seen in Mew's eyes.

Afterwards, Hellen and Galtomor decided to go with Marian, Mew and Succi who decided to visit Hori in the hospital by riding their own car.
