Chapter 68 - Interrogation Room
After Albion left with Officer Xiao, lackey came up to Reagan Declan and inquired, "What should we do now, boss? The big boss has been arrested. Should we…?"
He did not complete his question, but his intention was clear.
If the big boss was arrested, Boss Reagan could become the big boss of their Declan Gang again, not having to be below anyone.
Reagan Declan understood the person's intention clearly. As such, he nodded before giving the person a smack on the head with a fierce glint.
"Boss? Why did you hit me?" said the lackey.
"Use your head for a moment. The Bloodmoon Gang no longer needs us as their pawns and wanted to dispose of us. Even if the big boss took down the branch leader's right-hand man, isn't there still the branch leader, Boss Gai? How can we deal with that person without the big boss?"
Reagan Declan spoke.
"Boss Gai might be a Level 10 Hunter with some martial arts, but your martial arts attainment is higher, boss. If you were also a Level 10 Hunter, Boss Gai would be no match for you—no, even being Level 5 Hunter is enough to deal with Boss Gai."
"And where can I get my hands on interdimensional creatures to hunt in this backward city of Silvercove? Join the Hunter Association? With my record, I would not be admitted. Join the military? That is even more ludicrous. How can I accept a life without my daily dosage of alcohol and women?"
"Then what do you suggest we should do, boss?" The lackey inquired.
"If I can breakthrough to the Initiate Realm, Level 10 Hunters would not be a problem for me either. Unfortunately, it is impossible with my mortal-grade martial art technique." Reagan Declan sighed for a moment.
Shortly after, he shook his head and said, "Just let the superintendent know someone important is visiting their station and should be treated with utmost care."
"Yes, boss."
…
Meanwhile, Estelle Xiao was surprised the so-called big boss had followed her so willingly. She did not think it would be this easy.
"So? How are you going to take me back to the station like this?" Albion casually tugged his cuffed hand.
Estelle Xiao was dragging Albion along before she was suddenly pulled back, slamming her head into Albion's chest.
After she shoved Albion back and gave him a glare, Estelle Xiao spat, "You will see! I got this!"
Although she said this, Albion highly doubt it. With their hands cuffed the way they were, it would be difficult to drive safely.
If he was a normal person, he would fear for his life letting such a reckless person drive under such conditions.
Sometime later, they stopped before an average white car.
"You know you can't arrest me without any evidence, right?" Albion asked.
Estelle Xiao quickly snorted, "What do you know? As long as I have reasonable suspicions, I can detain you for questioning. You are guilty until proven innocent."
"What happened to innocent until proven guilty?"
"That is old-world stuff. What age is this? Crimes have shot through the roof! But for the sake of formality, I will just search your body for pieces of evidence that will give me legitimate reasons for arresting you!" Estelle Xiao said.
She quickly grabbed something from her car before wearing latex gloves and conducted her search on Albion's body, touching him in various place areas.
"Oi, oi, are you searching properly, or are you trying to cop a feel? Hands off the precious merchandise, woman." Albion spoke as Estelle Xiao's hand reached for his groin area.
Estelle Xiao immediately snarled angrily with a blush, "Who's trying to touch your junk? Is there even anything there?"
"That…" Albion paused for a moment before he said, "Of course, there is. I would show you, but the dragon is currently fro—ahem, the dragon is sleeping."
Estelle Xiao rolled her eyes.
In truth, Estelle Xiao did reach for Albion's groin but his pockets. However, Albion could see that Estelle Xiao was sneakily trying to slip a bag of white powder into his pockets.
"Oi, oi, that's some shady stuff. Are you trying to frame me?"
"Ahem, I don't know what you are talking about." Estelle Xiao coughed awkwardly before she stubbornly continued, "I am arresting you for possession of illegal drugs!"
"You want to play like that, huh?" Albion muttered.
His lips curled up into a grin, thinking this female officer was pretty intriguing and not as self-righteous as he previously assumed.
At the very least, she could be flexible and not adhere rigidly to the rules to catch criminals.
"Oops, looks like I forgot that bag in my pockets. Alright, you can take me in." Albion resigned himself willingly with a nonchalant shrug, deciding to play along to Estelle Xiao's tune.
Estelle Xiao stared back in confusion.
Nevertheless, she did not speak and crawled into the driver's seat from the passenger side before tugging Albion inside with her cuffed hand.
'Don't think that I will let off easy just because you are being cooperative. I will ascertain your identity first, then lock you in a cell for 7 days to appease my grievance before letting you off! Hmph, hmph!' Estelle Xiao thought.
After a wobbly drive, nearly crashing six times, the two made it to the central police station in Silvercove in one piece, surprisingly.
"Ahh, Estelle, you're back. Which unlucky guy have you caught this time?" A senior officer casually asked after seeing Officer Xiao bring back someone that is not in police uniform.
"Just a suspicious person caught on the streets with illegal goods. I'll take him into the interrogation room for questioning first. We'll talk later, Senior Guo."
"No worries. Go right ahead." Senior Guo waved.
Shortly after, Albion was brought inside an empty white room with nothing except two chairs, a table, and a tinted glass screen.
Albion took his seat across the silver table and casually observed the entire police station on the spot with [Eyes of Ashura].
Both his hands were cuffed after Estelle herself upon arriving.
Some files were placed on the table before Estelle Xiao took her empty seat opposite of Albion. She took out a pen and gazed down on a blank form before asking, "Name?"
"Sum Ting Wong," Albion answered nonchalantly.
"Sum Ting Wong… okay." Estelle Xiao recorded obliviously before she continued her questioning, "Age?"
Albion raised an eyebrow in amusement before he said, "10,028 years old."
"10,028… huh?" Estelle Xiao's hand immediately paused before she glared up at Albion in question, "Do you think I am an idiot?"
"Yes."
Albion answered in all honesty.
Estelle Xiao rolled her eyes and said, "28 years old it is."
"Oh? Not bad. I guess you are smarter than I thought after all." Albion casually remarked.
"Hmph!" Estelle Xiao growled while inwardly feeling somewhat proud before she continued, "Occupation?"
"Wizard."
"So, a magician.." Estelle Xiao recorded.
