Alex steps forward, and then stares at Detective Barnes’ eyes so closely. “Care to explain to me why I should answer your question?” he asks coldly.“Why you ask? Cause I’m a cop, and that’s what I do. You only need to answer my question, or else…”“Or what?” Alex cuts his words immediately. “You want to cuff me? Go ahead if you dare,” Alex taunts by giving his two hands.At the moment, Alex isn’t able to make up his mind whether to answer the invitation from The Catacomb which Morgan Davis left to him.So he thinks maybe he can buy some time by letting the police hold him captive. That way, he has a reason to not answer that invitation. After all, he is so tired right now due to lack of rest.He is quite confident he can avoid any trouble with the cops even if they hold him for one or two days. Getting a rest there won’t be bad at all, if he can avoid confrontation with that dangerous organization.But sadly, Detective Barnes seems so unsure to answer Alex’s provocation. He just star

Teddy McDonald no longer wants to tolerate that youngster anymore. He simply rams his body toward Dylan, and slams him to the wall.Dylan tries to plant his knee at Teddy’s belly, but it’s easily blocked by Teddy’s right hand. And at the same time, out of nowhere, Teddy sends a left hook from below even without showing his face.It catches Dylan off guard since it comes from an angle he never expected. That hook lands at his lower jaw from his right side, and it shakes his brain.“Hey, you guys! Stop it!” Sammy tries to stop them. But he has no courage to directly interfere.That last hook disturbs Dylan’s balance, making his legs wobble. Still without showing his face, Teddy grabs Dylan’s thighs, and then slams him to the floor. He pins him down and starts slapping his face a few times.“Get off of me!” Dylan retaliates.Teddy grabs his collars and shakes him by shouting out loud so close at his face. “Haven't you seen enough? How are you going to confront Austin McIntosh and his men

Everyone shows off the mark on their chests. Except for the four old men of the Overseers, including Morgan Davis, don’t take off their shirts. They don’t show off the mark, because they don’t have it. Well, they are the founders, so they don’t need to declare their loyalties to the rest of the members. It’s a bit different for Reece Thompson. He is not one of the founders. He started it like the other members from lower rank, also received the same burning mark in his chest before getting to his current position as one of The Overseers. “It’s the mark of our brotherhood, and also the seal to declare your loyalty to this organization,” explains Reece Thompson. “With this, you are obliged to protect the confidentiality of all of us. And it will all tie you and us to death,” adds one of the old men, Dariel Stewart. “Which means, once you become one of us, there’s no way out of this except death. Treason means death. And in some cases, breaking the rule could also lead to some seriou

The same dilemma also haunts Morgan Davis' mind. The old man is still treating Alex as his son. But he can’t simply leave this organization, because it will only mean a death penalty for him.“Morgan! Never think about trying to intervene with this issue,” Freedie Barker warns. “I don’t know what happened between the two of you, and why he suddenly changed his mind. But he is our enemy now. And you better not betray us.”“Don’t worry about me. Just prepare for a great loss on our side,” replies Morgan confidently.“What’s that supposed to mean?” asks Reece Thompson, reacting with a bit surprised by Morgan’s response.“That 5 million dollars you put on his head is not that big, but it’s not too small either to deter the hunters’ interest, especially the lower rank hunters. And believe me, there will be so many deaths soon, if you don’t take down that bounty from his head. Well, it would be different if you increase the reward even higher so that the small fries know how dangerous he is

When they reach the edge of the woods, only then does Alex begin to suspect something wrong. But it’s already too late, because that one cop is already pointing his gun at him.“I didn't think it would be this easy,” sneers the other cop on the right. “Didn’t they call him the only one worthy enough to be considered as the disciple of The Great Hermit?”“The disciple of The Great Hermit my ass! The fact they only put 5 million dollars for his head is enough to explain everything,” says the one cop who is holding the gun, belittling Alex with his arrogant smile.The man then moves his gun like telling Alex and Boris to get out of the car. They intend to lead Alex and Boris away first, not wanting to do the murder right inside that car.However, both the cops do the mistake most people do with guns. They point the guns too close to their targets.“Are you sure you’ve unlocked the safety on your gun?” Alex nonchalantly taunts the man who points the gun at him.“Don’t think about teaching
