Chapter 165

One look at Yannisโ€™s face, and it was clear: Neo was in trouble. Of all the people he could have antagonized, this clueless fool had to pick those two girls. Neo's group fainted, and since they weren't waking up quickly, the officers placed them in an interrogation room.

By the time the officers arrived, many had regained consciousness as the drug effects wore off, leaving them groggy. Opening their eyes to iron bars and two officers, the reality hit hard. Faces paled; many had never been in a police station before, and fear gnawed at them.

โ€œHow did we end up here?โ€

โ€œI remember fighting; Maisie hits hard.โ€

โ€œMan, how did I black out so fast? I swear I heard sirens just before I passed out.โ€

โ€œWho called the cops? Are they crazy?โ€

โ€œWhereโ€™s Neo?โ€

His followers called out nervously, looking around. After all, they were all there because of him.

โ€œHey! Isnโ€™t that Neo?โ€ A girl spotted Neoโ€™s swollen, rash-covered, and bruised face and screamed.

โ€œWhat happened to Neo?โ€ The crowd recoiled in horror, creating distance.

โ€œNo noise. Now that youโ€™re awake, call your parents or guardians.โ€

The two officers, with cold faces, silenced the rowdy crowd with a single command. The detainees took out their phones, feeling upset and frustrated. They thought, โ€˜Who wouldโ€™ve guessed a simple party would land us here? Who called the cops?โ€™

โ€œNeo, please wake up.โ€ Kaelen, summoning his courage and fighting his disgust, gently nudged Neo. Of everyone, Neo was the most important.

โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong with my face? Why does it hurt so much? Why is it so itchy?โ€ Neo woke up, hurting everywhere. An unbearable itch consumed his face. He clawed at his skin, leaving bloody scratches.

His face was already swollen and covered in angry red hives. After scratching frantically, he was unrecognizable. Some of the more sensitive people closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight.

โ€œStop scratching! Youโ€™re breaking out in hives. Youโ€™ll ruin your face!โ€ Seeing blood under Neo's nails and his ravaged face, Kaelen grabbed his hand.

โ€œYou idiot! Get me a doctor!โ€ Neo snapped, his eyes so swollen he could barely open them. Feeling Kaelen's presence, he viciously kicked him. Kaelen flinched, anger flashing across his face.

Fed up, Kaelen glared at Neo and stepped back. โ€œTake me to a hospital! Call a doctor!โ€ Neo shouted.

The two officers moved closer, yelling, โ€œQuiet down!โ€

Neo jumped up, glaring at the officers. โ€œHow dare you yell at me? Do you know who I am?โ€ He lunged at them, fists clenched.

As he moved, a sharp pain shot through his leg. His face, covered in bloody scratches, paled. He twisted, trying to open his swollen eyes, but saw only two figures in black uniforms.

He strained to see, but his swollen eyes narrowed to slits, blurring his surroundings.

โ€œNeo, weโ€™re at the police station,โ€ another guy whispered urgently, unable to watch his recklessness.

โ€œWho the heck called the cops?โ€ Neo roared, realizing their location.

Before leaving, his dad had warned him many times: โ€œDonโ€™t cause trouble. Our family isnโ€™t what it used to be, and getting back into the market wonโ€™t be easy.โ€ Neo worried his dad would find out.

He shivered at the thought of his dadโ€™s angry stare. โ€œDid those bitches call the cops? Bring them here. Iโ€™ll kill them,โ€ Neo shouted.

His rough, desperate shouts reached Niles and others as they arrived. Niles felt a little sympathy for him. Neo was a spoiled bratโ€”rude, arrogant, and useless. Yet, he had angered two people one never wanted to cross.

Niles saw Yannis's cold, serious demeanor. His sharply defined face was emotionless, his brow furrowed, and his eyes flashed.

Listening to Neoโ€™s arrogant ranting, Yannis told Niles, his voice cold and flat, โ€œNiles, I want to speak privately with Neo.โ€

โ€œIโ€™ll bring him out,โ€ Niles replied.

He thought, โ€˜In Jinston, the Perkins family controls half the city. For Yannis, dealing with Neo is easy.โ€™ Niles quickly signaled the officers.

The officers quickly took Neo out of the room.

โ€œWhere are you taking Neo?โ€

โ€œHands off Neo!โ€

Neoโ€™s lackeys panicked. He was their biggest supporter, having promised to take the blame. They couldn't leave him.

โ€œLet me go! Where are you taking me?โ€ Panic seized Neo as he was dragged away. He struggled wildly, but to no avail.

โ€œYannis, this way,โ€ Niles guided Yannis to another interrogation room.

The officers brought Neo inside. Neither dared look at Yannis, whose icy gaze seemed to freeze the room.

The door clicked shut. With limited vision, Neo only saw dull concrete walls. The bright overhead light stung his eyes, making him uneasy.

Every instinct screamed: โ€œThis room is dangerous. If I donโ€™t get out now, Iโ€™ll regret it forever.โ€

Neo said, โ€œWhy did you bring me here? Donโ€™t you know Iโ€™m from the Moore family?โ€

โ€œLet me out! Get me out of here!โ€ Neo yelled desperately.

He kept shouting, demanding to leave, but received no answer. A strange fear grew in the heavy silence.

โ€œWhat a coward. The Moore family raised a useless piece of trash,โ€ Yannis scoffed, one hand in his pocket, looking at Neo's unrecognizable swollen face.

Neo yelled, โ€œWho gave you the nerve to bring me here? Are you working with that bitch? Iโ€™m from the Moore family. Let me go!โ€

After a while, Neo saw someone sitting before him. Squinting through his swollen eyes, he saw only the vague outline of a tall figure.
