Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

"Think I'm scared of getting arrested?" Odie tried to pull his hand away, but Sophie stubbornly held on, not giving him a chance to escape. Finally, Odie couldn't take it anymore and said, "Alright! I won't run!"

The police were already close. What good would running do now? Would he just end up getting caught again and looking even more foolish?

Seeing that Odie had given up, Sophie let go of him and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Odie, for your understanding."

This time, Mr. Schuldt took matters into his own hands. Within moments, he initiated a show of force. The six individuals, no matter how tough they seemed, were no match for the police. Quickly, they were all loaded into the police car.

When it was Odie's turn, Mr. Schuldt glanced at Sophie and said, "This Mr. Odie..."

Sophie chimed in, "Mr. Odie is a witness this time, helping out our Devonport police to clear his name. Isn't that touching, Mr. Schuldt?"

"Thank you, Mr. Odie! Truly, thank you!" Mr. Schuldt gave Odie a nod of gratitude but quickly looked troubled. "However, since Mr. Odie is a witness, he still needs to come back to the station for some questioning. It's a bit of a hassle, but I think someone as generous and noble as Mr. Odie wouldn't mind, right?"

"I..."

"Mr. Odie, right this way, please!"

Before Odie could respond, Mr. Schuldt was already guiding him towards the police car.

Odie, with a sour expression, glanced sideways at Sophie. Sophie, however, looked back innocently and said, "Mr. Odie, why are you staring at me like that? It's just a statement, not an arrest!" "Sophie, you..."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Besides, Mr. Odie, riding in a police car to give testimony is a way to uphold justice. It should be considered a great honor in one's life, right?"

Odie couldn't tell if Sophie was praising him or mocking him.

Meanwhile, at the Devonport police station, the six individuals were being urgently interrogated, each in separate rooms. But from the moment they entered, none of them said a word.

After giving a brief statement, Odie walked out of the interrogation room and saw Sophie waiting outside, frowning. He approached her and said, "Stop dreaming. These people won't talk." "I don't believe it. There's got to be one who'll crack first."

Silence would lead to their arrest on gun possession charges. For their own benefit, these people would surely talk.

"Don't be naive. It's not as simple as you think. A gun charge could get them a maximum of seven years, but if they rat out the person behind this, their families, their own dives, would be in danger."

Sophie asked, "So you're saying they'd rather go to jail than rat out?"

"How many people live solely for themselves? Even for their families, they'd rather serve seven years in jail." Odje sneered, "Besides, their loyalty ensures a payout from their boss once they're out. With that money, they can live on, groveling like dogs to their boss."

Sophie fell silent.

Odie continued, "But then again, what would you, a lady of wealth, understand? You value dignity over life itself. But ordinary folks have their own way of living. They don't need dignity; they just need to

survive." Content bea
