Chapter 2071 Black Market

Author: Night Eleven
Aria continued strolling with Iris, quietly observing her reactions. As they passed by the various shops, Iris' expressions clearly revealed what she liked and disliked.

Most of the stores that caught her eye sold Farshyan handicrafts or antiques.

Aria turned thoughtful. She couldn't fully see through Iris, but she could sense the girl's purity and kindness. Otherwise, Aria would never have agreed to keep her close.

Just then, a news report playing on a nearby shop's TV made Aria pause.

"Bringing you today's news. The atrocities on Shark Island have been exposed. The island's administrator, Moby Burke, has been brought to justice.

"He confessed to all his crimes. The NIO's chief, Wesson Laker, will now lead his team to restore a bright tomorrow for Los Stratos."

Aria murmured under her breath, "So he's using Moby as a scapegoat to protect himself and those in power."

She knew well that someone like Moby couldn't have kept such an operation running alone. There had to be someone

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2136 Captured

    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

    Putting the trolls' remarks aside, a hint of relief flashed in Aria's eyes as she read the heartfelt comments. As long as some people were willing to think rationally, the public opinion battle wasn't lost.Meanwhile, Elijah was taken to the interrogation room in the Janovin Police Department. The light inside was too harsh, and the air was filled with the stench of disinfectant and tobacco.A metal table, cold to the touch, was set in the middle of the room, with nothing but bare walls on all sides. What was more, there were no windows, making the room feel suffocating under the blinding light of the overhead bulb.Elijah was forced to sit on a metal chair. His wrists were bound by handcuffs, locked to the metal rings beneath the table. His mind had slowly cleared, but the drug continued to drain his strength and make his head throb. It was no wonder Roan said it was good stuff from overseas. It lasted far longer than it should have.Elijah slowly raised his head and looked at t
