Chapter 1946 The Abandoned Pawn

Author: Night Eleven
Huck felt his heart sink. He wasn't an idiot, and he knew how things worked. That was exactly why his eyes widened as he stared at Aria. "W-Who the hell are you?"

"Mr. Maddox, you know me pretty well, don't you? I'm just someone from that village in Grindham." Aria held up some papers. "Unless your background check went wrong?"

Her tone stayed cool and controlled, like she had all the pieces on the board. Huck's hands balled into fists, his teeth chattering. "Why are you the one questioning me? This is illegal!"

"It's simple. I have the authority to do so." Aria drummed her fingers on the table in a steady beat. "I know plenty about your dealings. That's why I made myself the bait. But you, Mr. Maddox? You barely scratched the surface when you had me investigated.

"I'm sure your handlers made you all kinds of promises. They told you they'd protect you no matter how badly you screwed up.

"But you should understand what an abandoned pawn is. Back at Thornwick, that inspector co

    Meanwhile, Aria was on her way to the hospital. Not long after, the car came to a stop. As soon as she stepped out, she spotted Landon standing a short distance away. When he saw her, he walked over at an unhurried pace.Aria lifted her chin. "How long have you been waiting? Didn't you already tell me the room number? There was no need to come down and meet me."Landon's gaze softened. "I missed you. That's why I came."Aria reached out and gently smoothed the loose strands of hair on his forehead. "I'm really lucky to have you."Landon looked straight at her. "Me too. Has Lirio been taken care of?"She nodded. "He confessed everything. The Shadow Organization is behind this. It's made up of powerful figures from multiple countries. I just don't understand why an organization like that would target the Carver family." Landon replied calmly, "Shadow Organization? It’s possible they're not just after the Carver family, but the York family as well.""You said their members are

    Lirio had spent his entire career at the police station solving impossible cases and arresting criminals no one else could touch. Yet now, for the first time in his life, he sat on the opposite side of the table, finally experiencing what it meant to be a criminal.He convulsed violently. "You're coercing me! This testimony won't stand! It's too ticklish! Stop it! Stop!"Aria raised an eyebrow. "Coercion? I'm afraid that concept doesn't exist in the SMU. We only deal in evidence."This is just the beginning. Honestly, I hope you don't talk. That way, you'll truly understand what it felt like when you tortured others during interrogation."She paused briefly before adding, "If I actually wanted to coerce you, you'd start talking in ten seconds. Bank passwords in thirty. One minute in, and you'd be begging to die."You and I aren't the same. You took bribes and sent innocent people to jail just to pad your record."It only took three minutes before Lirio started yelling, "I'll talk

    Seeing Lowen swat his hand without a word, Lirio turned and headed outside. What he didn't know was that two black SUVs had already pulled up silently in front of the police station. They sat there like armored beasts. One-way blast-resistant film covered the windows, concealing whoever was inside.The moment Lirio spotted the vehicles, his steps faltered. A group of people dressed in black stood rigidly beside them, their gazes fixed on him.Lirio stammered, "W-Who are you? Please excuse me. I need to go home and change.""Lirio Zook, correct? Take him away." The members of the Special Missions Unit moved in at once, seizing him and dragging him toward the SUV behind them.Lirio's face twitched violently. The arrogance he once carried had vanished without a trace, replaced by naked fear and humiliation. The disturbance drew the attention of officers inside the station, yet not a single one stepped forward."Where are you taking me? I want a lawyer!" Lirio shouted as he strugg

    Aria bent down and removed the metal clamps. "Elijah, I'm here."Elijah slowly lifted his head. When he saw Aria, a flicker of surprise and relief crossed his eyes. He tried to speak, but only a hoarse whimper came out. The agony in his body and the emotional torment were too much for him to take. He could no longer hold back his tears at the sight of Aria. The head of the Disciplinary Committee pulled out his phone and showed Lirio the files and complaint letter that Aria sent. "We've already obtained concrete evidence against you."Recently, your wife's account received a suspicious transfer of one million dollars from an anonymous account. The funds have been verified as a bribe from an overseas account, paid to coerce a false confession from Elijah."The person's tone became sterner. "Additionally, we have received reports that you abused your position to accept multiple bribes and secure improper benefits for others. We are still verifying the evidence. Do you have anything

    Landon's voice was low and cold. "We're only trying to confirm that Elijah is safe. That's a reasonable request from family, not an obstruction of your work. "Naturally, we hope that no coercive interrogation will be used on Elijah. But if it does, I trust that you'll understand the consequences."Landon stared at Lirio unflinchingly, as if he could see through his every ugly thought. Lirio felt a surge of unease under that stare, a creeping panic rising in his chest. Still, he forced the unease down, reminding himself of Roan's payment and the line he'd already crossed. "Consequences? What do you mean? We're acting within the law, so don't try to threaten us. Let me make myself clear for the last time. Elijah is under interrogation, so no visits are allowed. Please leave."Aria's eyes darkened. She knew she couldn't act, not yet. She replied calmly, "Mr. Zook, I hope you remember what you just said and live up to it. If my brother is harmed, you won't be let off easily."As

    The sensation spread along Elijah's veins with a prickling numbness. Almost immediately, that numbness turned into searing pain, as if countless steel needles were stabbing into his nerves at once.Elijah started to convulse. He clenched his teeth as beads of sweat rolled down his pale face. Seeing this, Lirio increased the voltage. "Talk. Did you take part in organized sexual misconduct?"The current rampaged through Elijah's body like a venomous snake. His consciousness blurred, and a few chaotic images flashed through his mind. He could see the women's ugly faces, Roan's triumphant smile, and the pain of rubber batons striking his body. Yet through it all, he never forgot his bottom line."I… I didn't do it!" Elijah forced out the words between ragged breaths, each syllable squeezed painfully through clenched teeth."How dare you continue to lie!" Lirio shouted, turning the current up to its maximum."Argh!" Agony swallowed Elijah whole. It felt as if he had been thrown int
