YM778.TV Volume 4 - 228 Rejected
"Yes, master." After a single beep, the line was immediately replied. It seemed like the CEO ugly was already waiting for the call.
"Hmm, are you aware of what’s going on right now?" Not beating around the bush, Virus questioned calmly.
"Yes, the Legal ugly notified me of everything just now." Said the CEO ugly in a respectful tone, right now, he didn’t dare to be the slightest bit of disrespectful to him in any way.
"Good, then that makes it easy. So, do as I say..." Afterward, Virus began to talk for almost forty seconds straights while the CEO ugly listened intently.
"That was all, do you understand?" As he was done vocalizing his thoughts, Virus asked.
"Yes, master." The CEO ugly replied as he promptly cut off the line and started to go in motion just as he was ordered.

Soon, quietly, a private jet landed on the airport of New York where a single edition of a black luxury car of Virus Industries was already parked there. This car was the only one of its kind which was specifically created for the chairman of the Virus Industries.
However, oddly, it looked very similar to the car the Lamborghini company had released in the year 2017 of the previous future, Lamborghini Veneno Roadster.
Of course, some changes were made to its concept so the Lamborghini company wouldn’t be able to find faults with them making similar cars to their brand concept, and obviously, the name was changed to Virus Veneno Roadster.
This was one of the cars that the CEO ugly had specially prepared for his master.
"Let’s go." Uttering this, a man and a young woman strolled side by side toward the car as they received the key from a man who was already standing there.
Vroom~
A beautiful sound of a car’s engine starting up was heard as Virus put his feet on the gas pedal and pressed it until the very end.
Roaaaar~ Vroom~ Vroom~
After that, soon, a car was whistling through the streets of New York without decelerating in its speed at all.
If it was another girl other than the golden beauty by his side right now, that girl would’ve probably seen death a hundred times by now. However, the golden beauty was laying back comfortably as she sat there relaxedly while looking out of the window at the passing scenery.
Two friends were walking in the rather crowded streets of New York when a car past by them like a storm. One of the friends immediately asked the other one, "Ah! What is that car?"
Then, he added further, "Was that a Lambo... no, no, no, it looks different as it was much more beautiful! For a moment I thought it was Lambo though. Dude, did you see it’s brand mark...? Because I couldn’t. That was such a cool car!"
The other one whose eyes passed by the car for a moment replied in some doubt, "Umm, I think it was the Virus Industries brand mark? I’m not sure though, it passed by too fast!"
It wasn’t just them as many others were in awe of this car, especially some particular girls.

Thirty minutes before, detective Brown was already brought out of the interrogation room as he was watching everything from the see-through mirror. Actually, the other detectives also agreed with the views of detective Brown. However, since it was detective Argent’s case, unless someone from a higher rank told her to do otherwise or the case was taken away from her by them, almost no one was able to order her to do otherwise. And obviously, no one from the higher ranks bothered with such a small case since they were already very busy with tons of other cases and other essential matters.
Still, after detective Brown’s intervention, detective Argent became a bit less cruel in the way she interrogated Ella, though she was still harsh.
"Ella, are you really not going to reveal who did this? Even if you don’t tell us, this will eventually be revealed anyways, the sun doesn’t stay behind the clouds forever! Also, if you don’t talk, every finger will definitely be pointed at you in the court and I’m pretty much sure the judges will be rather harsh since that’s the orders they have from the higher-ups!" Staring into her eyes, detective Argent queried. She phrased her sentences in a way as if she was taking pity on her and wanted nothing but her own good.
’What should I do...? What if I bring Security bro and Ai down with me too... I just wanted to confess to my crime and serve my prison sentence. But now...’ Meanwhile, Ella was deliberating to herself in deep worry. She really didn’t want others she cared about to be brought down with her.
At this time, the door of the interrogation room was abruptly pushed open as someone rushed in and uttered, "Detective Argent, we’ve made another facial composite of someone who was said to be their bodyguard at that night, we can’t rule him from the list of suspects too! Also, the other girl’s facial composite matches with one of her best friend’s called Jessica Sheen!"
"Oh!" Hearing this, detective Argent’s eyes began to shine while blood vanished from Ella’s face as she wondered to herself, "No... if things continue like this, the truth might really be revealed... Security bro might be convicted and worse... Ai might too... and my friends will be soon entangled in all of this. I don’t want these to happen."
At this point, tears started to roll down her face as she mumbled while biting her lower lip, "I... I did it."
’Bingo!’ Hearing this, detective Argent’s attention was instantly drawn back as she inquired, "Hmm, what did you say?!"
"I said... I did it, I killed them all. I-" Gnashing her teeth, she confessed to a crime she didn’t commit at this time and was just about to continue when someone entered in a rush while yelling, "Miss Ella, don’t say anything else!"
As the Legal ugly entered the interrogation room, he began to talk in a single breath, "You are clearly coercing my client to confess to a crime that she did not commit by obviously indirectly threatening her to involve her friends and other people she knows and putting them on the list of suspects, by this fact alone, the confession is already invalid. This also counts using tactics to get confessions which also is another case which would make this confession even more invalid since you are clearly putting my client under a lot of pressure and anxiety. In case you say you’re not putting pressure or threatening your suspect I’m sure there are some witnesses and detectives who are willing to testify against that in the court. So, I suggest you delete that confession if you don’t want this to end badly for yourself." While saying all of this in a single breath, the Legal ugly walked over as he sat beside Ella.
"Who are you?!" Gritting her teeth, detective Argent said, just when she had succeeded, another obstacle popped up in the way of her successfully completing her first case.
"Of course, I’m Miss Ella’s lawyer." Stated the Legal ugly.
’Legal bro...’ Seeing him sit beside her, Ella thought, a bit moved. However, remembering some things about who he served, her face became a bit cold as she voiced stubbornly, "I don’t need a lawyer... and you’re not my lawyer, please leave."
"But miss Ella-" The Legal ugly was about to advise her otherwise when Ella’s loud voice was heard, "I said leave!"
There was nothing else he could do if Ella rejected him to be her lawyer. So, gazing into her eyes for a few seconds, left with no other choice, the Legal ugly could only stand up and leave the interrogation room for now. However, just as he was about to leave the room, calmly stopping in his tracks, he voiced toward the detective, "Let me tell you two things before I leave. First, you have no idea who you’re dealing with. And second, this will not end well for you." And just like that, he left.
