Chapter 3 - The Corrupt Precinct
The young man was locked securely inside a dark, freezing interrogation room at the downtown police precinct.
His real name was Elias, and he was completely exhausted, bruised, and terrified for his older sister's life.
He had secretly tracked Clara for months after suspecting Richard was slowly poisoning her for her inheritance.
A tall, intimidating man named Detective Stone finally walked into the room carrying a thick file.
Stone tossed a completely fake psychological evaluation onto the metal table, claiming Elias was severely schizophrenic.
Elias desperately slammed his hands against the table, begging the detective to listen to the actual truth.
He completely revealed that he was Clara's biological younger brother who had been separated from her at birth.
He explained that Richard was intentionally faking her death to forcefully seize her hidden offshore trust fund.
Detective Stone sat completely still, listening incredibly carefully to every single word the desperate boy said.
Stone slowly nodded his head, offering a warm, highly comforting smile that felt entirely out of place.
He told Elias that he completely believed his crazy story and promised to help him expose the billionaire.
Stone casually walked over to the water cooler and poured a fresh cup of cold water for the exhausted boy.
He handed the small paper cup directly to Elias, encouraging him to drink and calm his racing nerves.
Elias eagerly reached for the cup, incredibly grateful to finally find someone who believed his terrifying story.
As Stone handed over the water, his heavy jacket sleeve completely slid up his muscular forearm.
Elias froze instantly, staring in absolute horror at the dark, intricate tattoo permanently inked on the detective's wrist.
It was the exact same corporate crest that belonged strictly to Richard's private, highly illegal mercenary group.
Elias suddenly realized the entire police precinct was completely corrupt and actively working for the wicked billionaire.

The seemingly helpful detective was simply waiting for the highly toxic poison in the water cup to take effect.
Elias realized he was holding a lethal dose of synthetic venom that would completely stop his heart in seconds.
