"With this information, we confirm that you knew perfectly well that your last name isn't Anderson and that your whole life was a lie," Nicholas stated.

"Alright. I confess that I knew from the beginning, but so what? It was all my father's doing, not mine." "And your sister?" the detective asked.

"That pampered idiot lived in the bubble of the lie, but when that bitch Sophia called her a bastard, it pissed her off. Out of curiosity, she started investigating until she found the truth. Of course, I played along and said that I had only recently learned about this too." "Well, now with this declaration, I think we can inform you that we're going to extradite you to pay for your crimes abroad. Once that's done, they'll send you back here to serve your sentence," the detective announced.

"What..." Ernest was terrified, he knew if he went back to that place, he wouldn't come out alive. "Wait.... you... you can't do that."

"And why not?" Nicholas asked.

"Because if you do something to me, you'll regret it for the rest of your life," Ernest said, trying to sound confident.

oh

really? Do tell," the detective said, feigning astonishment. "Why will I regret it?"

"Well, maybe you live in a fantasy within these four walls thanks to the power you have here, but in the real world, there are only two kings. I'm a close friend of one of them, and he's the most dangerous one of all."

"Interesting, but Jayden Cooper hates you for what you did to his fiancée, so..." Christian began to say.

"Fiancée?" Ernest interrupted. "Are you telling me that idiot actually got Cooper to propose to her? Lucky bitch, how-" He was shouting furiously, but his words were cut off by a punch to the face that split his lip from the force of the impact.

"Oops.. sorry, my hand slipped," Nicholas said, shaking his hand a bit because the recoil had also hurt him. "But it was a reflex when I heard you insulting Deborah."

"Calm down," Christian urged, though he was also visibly angry. "Anyway, as I was saying..."

"Hey, detective, are you really not going to say anything? He hit me!" Ernest complained.

"Hit you?" the detective repeated amusedly. "Sorry, but I only saw Mr. Nicholas trying to kill the mosquito that was on your cheek," he said with a smile.

"This is police abuse! I."

"Why are you complaining? As you said, I reign within these four walls, so if I say something happened, then it happened, period," the detective said, looking him in the eyes. "Now, back to the topic, are you telling me that Vox, the mafia boss who plagues this country, is your close friend?"" "That's right. So, it's better if you let me go, or you won't want you and all your relatives to end up dead," Ernest declared, a mocking smile spreading across his face. "Though I no longer promise anything

because once he hears about this punch, I wouldn't doubt he'd look to kill that stupid mute girl to teach you a lesson."

Hearing this threat, Nicholas wanted to hit him again, but Christian quickly stopped him.

"Don't fall into his trap," he urged, trying to calm him down.

"Well, this is interesting. I mean, having such a celebrity under arrest," the officer indicated. "In that case, thanks for letting yourself get caught.

"What..." Ernest looked at the detective, confused. Why was this old man happy instead of scared?

"Since you're his friend, I'm going to use you as bait to finally catch that bastard and make him and his entire group pay for all their crimes," the detective declared. "I'm grateful to you because thanks to you, the Great Shadow of Light will finally fall."

"What.." Ernest was starting to get scared because those words had also been mentioned by that strange policeman who came to bother them before the interrogation. "Wait... what does that 'Great Shadow of Light' mean?"

"It's the nickname your friend Vox has among those he's made deals with," came the reply.

Emest was scared, remembering the words that policeman had said: "Not only will you cause offense if you speak too much in that interrogation, the Great Shadow of Light will ensure this is your last day alive." This meant his parents had hired his services, and now he had stupidly put himself in danger by mentioning it directly.

"Well, since you're his friend, I'll tell my friends abroad that I can't extradite you because the case here has more weightage than the attempted sexual assault case."

Hearing that, Ernest trembled. As it was now, it seemed more certain he would die at the hands of Jasmine's brother than face the wrath of the mafia boss.
