While Hoffman listened to Amur's question, his ears were buzzing.
He bit his lip, desperately trying to throw a punch at Amur. However, the man deftly sidestepped the oncoming blow.
In the blink of an eye, Amur dodged, while Hoffman stumbled and lost his balance. As he fell forward, Amur raised his leg and
kicked him in the leg once again.
Hoffman had a chance to use his hands to prevent himself from falling flat on his face, but Amur's blow caused him immense
pain, and he crashed to the ground.
Writhing in agony, he felt something in his mouth. He spat it out, and two of his teeth fell out.
Looking up at Amur, Hoffman realized that this person was not to be messed with.
He trembled with fear. He was someone who picked on the weak and feared the strong, but now, he was terrified of being taught
a harsher lesson by Amur. He cried out in distress, "Help, murder! Help, save me!"
His cries for help attracted several police officers, who were stunned upon seeing Hoffman being beaten.
Hoffman was known for his brutal attacks, even to the extent of taking someone's life.
However, before them, it was Hoffman who got beaten up, while the man who had just been locked up had a calm expression on
his face. He seemed completely unharmed.
"Are you starting fights in the police station? Do you not want to leave?" scolded Officer Larsen, who was leading the group, as
he opened the door.
Hoffman clung to Officer Larsen's pants like he had caught a lifeline. "Officer Larsen, this guy hit me hard. My stomach, my leg,
and oh, my teeth..."
He felt pain everywhere on his body, and the thought of Amur's terrifying methods made him tremble as he pleaded, "Officer
Larsen, I need to go to the hospital. I need to go to the hospital!"
"You want to go get yourself checked at the hospital? You're only missing a couple of teeth," Amur said innocently. "I only threw
one punch at you, and you lost two teeth. Brother Hoffman, why are you falsely accusing me? If it weren't for you picking a fight, I
wouldn't have laid a hand on you."
"Officer Larsen, he's lying!" Hoffman's finger trembled as he pointed at him. "There's surveillance footage. We can check the
cameras!"
Officer Larsen narrowed his eyes, assessing the situation in front of him.
Hoffman had gotten beaten up before. He would occasionally encounter someone with a tougher punch than his own in the
police station.
Hence, the officer was familiar with these tactics as well.
"Check the surveillance footage!" instructed Officer Larsen.
The surveillance footage was fast-forwarded, and it had not been long since the incident occurred.
The police officers discovered that neither Amur's nor Hoffman's claims could be fully confirmed.
It happened in a blind spot of the cameras when they were fighting. They only heard Hoffman's wailing but did not see Amur
hitting him!
"This foreign guy is cunning!" exclaimed Officer Larsen. When he returned to the detention cell, Hoffman continued to complain
about his injuries. Officer Larsen immediately instructed his subordinates to take him to the hospital for examination.
Amur sat there without moving a muscle.
Officer Larsen felt a surge of anger. His fists were strong, but what would he do when faced with someone even tougher?
Officer Larsen thought to himself that Hoffman looked fine. He would probably be sent back later.
The moment he watched the surveillance footage, he realized that the foreigner in front of him was not someone to mess with.
Perhaps it was only when faced with someone formidable that he would find himself afraid.
Amur's fists were tough, huh? In that case, he should let him meet even tougher people.
"Take him to the detention cell where those two Russians are!" Officer Larsen immediately ordered.
The others did not say anything and promptly handcuffed Amur, leading him to the detention cell where the two Russians were
held.
Amur looked at Alexsei and Kazimir.
Alexsei and Kazimir were surprised to see Amur being brought in. They knew why he was here.
It was either to rescue them or to ensure their demise.
"Behave yourselves. If you cause any more trouble, I won't spare you!" warned Officer Larsen.
Amur silently walked to a corner and sat down.
After the police left, Alexsei tapped on the wall. It was the code they used on the Island of Despair. They could not speak openly
because of the surveillance camera, not even in Russian as there was a possibility of their conversation being interpreted. 'Are
you here to kill us?'
Amur nodded, making no attempt to hide it.
Instantly, Alexsei's and Kazimir's faces turned grim. Abel was truly ruthless. He used them and then got rid of them.
Amur tapped on the wall. 'You caused him a significant loss of money, and you can't repay it. Only your lives can make up for it!'
Kazimir could not accept the idea of losing his life so easily and hurriedly tapped back. 'We've always done things for Boss. We
shouldn't lose our lives just because of this loss. If that's the case, don't expect us to be nice to you!'
He thought that being locked up here meant certain death. Therefore, they had been waiting to be rescued.
However, instead of a rescue, someone had come to take their lives. In that case, they would not hold back!
They did not know everything about Amur and the Island of Despair, but if they revealed what they knew to the police, an
investigation would surely follow.
They would not be able to destroy the Island of Despair and Abel completely, but they could certainly cause some serious trouble
for that man.
Amur calmly tapped on the wall. 'Boss knows everything about you. He said go ahead if you wish to expose him. But, Alexsei, he
knows you've found your mother, and Kazimir, your lover has given birth to your son. Boss knows it all. He wanted me to convey
a message to you. If anything happens to him, what you value most will suffer.'
Alexsei used to be an orphan, but after completing a certain mission, he returned to the orphanage and discovered that he was
not an orphan after all. He actually had a mother.
He was one of those children who was abducted but later cleverly escaped. He eventually ended up at the orphanage. As time
passed, his memories faded, and he accepted his identity as an orphan.
Later, he secretly reunited with his mother behind Abel's back. Alexsei's face turned pale. He never expected his little act to be
discovered by Abel.
As for Kazimir, he met his lover while he was on a mission.
She became his weak spot.
Sometimes, it was easier to manipulate a person by finding out their weaknesses.
Amur looked at the two men as their expressions turned from resentment to ghostly white. They remained silent.
They had to choose between their weaknesses and a joint demise.
Finally, Alexsei compromised and tapped on the wall. 'I won't say anything, and I can die immediately, but please spare my
mother."
Amur looked at the other person.
Kazimir felt like he was trapped in a massive net, from which there was no escape. It was like there were countless eyes
installed everywhere on the net.
He thought he had eluded the surveillance, but he had been under constant watch all along.
He lowered his hand, no longer making a statement.
Inside the surveillance room...
Officer Larsen watched them tap on the wall and furrowed his brows, asking, "What are they doing?"
"Seems like they're bored and just tapping the wall," another officer guessed. When Amur was brought in, Officer Larsen had
ordered them to keep a close watch on them.
However, they had not spoken a word to each other. They just kept tapping on the wall.
"What's the deal? Do all Russians have this hobby? Tapping on walls?"
"It seems like some kind of code," said Officer Larsen. He was sent by a superior officer to assist in the investigation of the
firearms and bomb case. Thus, he had more experience and insight than the others.
