Chapter 39: Getting Paid
Dominic Hart, a brutal and cruel, but also skilled and commendable cop, whom everyone feared, and if he was your interrogator, you are finished.
Even if you were innocent, you would confess to the false accusation and the crime you didn’t commit. That’s how powerful Dominic Hart was. He played with his target’s feelings by blackmailing them and manipulating them.
It was just another day for him where he had to interrogate a boy who came from a village and was seemingly uneducated.
How hard could it be? He had thought. Today was an easy target! He had thought.
However, now, the very same Dominic Hart, was sitting hopelessly in front of the boy whom he considered worthless.
Xavier stretched his arms leisurely, his smirk sharp. "The next five minutes can either be the longest five minutes of your life, or the shortest." His gaze locked onto Dominic’s, his voice dripping with amusement. "The decision is up to you."
Dominic’s hands trembled as he handed Xavier’s phone back to him. And said, "I will turn off the jammer for a minute, so call your team and tell them to not make anything public."
"And why should I do that? What’s in it for me?"
"Argh! Fine!" Dominic let out a frustrated groan. "I will let you go freely from the prison. Happy?!"
Xavier frowned his face and glared at Dominic. "Hey, do you think you are in any position to set terms? You will have to do what I ask you to do. Without any questions asked."
