Yet, Sally loved Jason. Feeling her head aching from thinking about it, Fia shook her head to stop.
“Sophia, I’m pregnant. So could you teach me some self-defense techniques?”
“You’re pregnant, madam?” It was a pleasant surprise for Sophia, “How far along are you? Is it a boy? A girl?”
Fia sighed. “It’s not developed enough to tell its gender yet.”
“Oh my! It’s still wonderful news regardless if it’s a boy or a girl! Don’t worry, madam! Silas and Tiger are too busy to do this but I can teach your child self-defense techniques myself! I’ll make sure no one gets to bully the young master or young miss!”
“Okay! Thank you, Sophia!” Fia was really fond of Sophia. This girl had good looks and an easy
going, tomboyish personality.
At the police station, Conrad was brought to meet Finn. The latter was on the phone when Conrad walked into his office. Finn pointed at the chair in front of his desk, signalling him to
take a seat.
When Conrad sat down, the police officer who was escorting him excused himself and left the
room.
Seeing that he had a guest, Finn kept it short on the phone and hung up after a minute. Then, he locked his eyes with Conrad’s. “You’ve done a great service to Gryphon City. Tell me, what reward do you want?”
“I want the perpetrator who hurt Doctor Sally to be punished to the full extent of the law.”
Finn curved a frown on his face. This was not an easy matter to resolve. As soon as that foreigner was detained, the country of his origin had asked to have him deported back.
“Conrad, he’s not Fortunese.”
“It doesn’t matter where he’s from. He has caused harm to our people so he must be punished!” Conrad said determinedly, “I don’t think you can’t handle something as trivial as this, Director Parker.”
Finn stared at Conrad speechlessly. This insolent brat… He was being too forceful.
“Director Parker, just why did you apply to transfer to Gryphon?” Conrad asked coldly.
Finn sighed. “Look, you and I are on the same page. That foreigner must be punished severely! But even after we’ve secured the evidence from the hotel, that perpetrator-the real perpetrator, the one who planned this-did not seem to be bothered at all.”
Finn put aside his personal feelings against Conrad and was frank with him. “We were hoping to give him some leniency and send him back. After he’s deported, the Interpol might be able to trace him back to the person behind this.”
Conrad kept silent with a grim face. He actually thought that this was a good way to tackle this situation. Yet he did not want to disappoint Fia.
“Have you gotten any information from that manager you’ve arrested?” he asked calmly.
Finn shook his head and said, “He’s very persistent in not spilling the beans.”
A vicious glint gleamed in Conrad’s eyes. “Give him to us. Tiger can make him talk.”
“Conrad…” Finn did not seem agreeable with Conrad’s methods. “I’ve always thought you’re just a greedy businessman. Yet after seeing how this incident unfolded, I know now that you’re not the person I thought you to be. It’s a noble thing to want to rid the world of these It’s not human filth. But you should resort to extreme measures. This manager is just a pawn. necessary to use torture on him to get the information you want.”
“If you’re so high and mighty, then resolve this matter with Doctor Sally at once. Don’t make a girl lose her faith in the police like you!” Conrad was getting impatient.
He did not want to waste so much time arguing about morality and methods. All he wanted right now was to go home and be with Fia!

When Finn was feeling conflicted with how to respond to Conrad, someone knocked on his door.
“Come in!”
Wilfred Thomas rushed into the room anxiously. “That manager…! He committed suicide!” “What?!” Finn stood up in surprise. “He was still fine a moment ago! How is he dead?!”
“We don’t know. After you interrogated him, he was left in his cell and no one came to visit him. After me and Officer Taylor went to check up on him, he had already cut his wrist and died.”
