Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1539

In a foreign prison, the harsh beam of a flashlight kept swinging in front of Reece's eyes. It was the dead of night, and his once-white shirt was now smeared with dirt, making him look utterly disheveled. The blood on his forehead had dried, leaving a stark reminder of his ordeal.

“Bring him out for more questioning,” one officer ordered.

“He hasn't slept for a full day and night. What if something happens? He’s a public figure, after all,” another officer argued.

“We just need to follow orders. Bring him out,” the first officer insisted, his voice devoid of empathy.

Reece listened silently to their conversation. He'd been stuck here for a day, his wounds untreated and starting to fester. Four hours ago, he noticed he had a fever, but that wasn’t his biggest worry. What really concerned him was the trouble his capture could cause for Sophie back home, especially with the S Corporation at such a crucial point.

As the officers opened the cell door, Reece gathered his strength, speaking as weakly as he could, “I’m in bad shape. I need a hospital.”

Though the officers heard him, they had no plans to act. Their orders were clear: keep interrogating him through the night.

“If something goes wrong, we’re in deep trouble,” muttered one officer standing outside, unable to stand by any longer.

Meanwhile, the other kept watch over Reece. Outside, a fleet of sleek black Mercedes suddenly rolled up to the police station, catching everyone inside by surprise. The cars formed a tight perimeter around the station until an elderly man with a cane stepped out of the lead vehicle.

The police chief hurried outside, trying to act cordial. “Caelum, we weren’t expecting you. Why didn’t you give us a heads up?”

Caelum, although seldom seen in public these days, always made a grand entrance when he did. His expression was icy as he replied, “I hear you’ve got my godson locked up here. I’m here to see him.”

Godson? The police chief was taken aback, his mind racing to process this new information.
