While Hoffman listened to Amur's question, his ears were buzzing.
He bit his lip, desperately trying to throw a punch at Amur. However, the man deftly
sidestepped the oncoming blow.
In the blink of an eye, Amur dodged, while Hoffman stumbled and lost his balance. As he
fell forward, Amur raised his leg and kicked him in the leg once again.
Hoffman had a chance to use his hands to prevent himself from falling flat on his face, but
Amur's blow caused him immense pain, and he crashed to the ground.
Writhing in agony, he felt something in his mouth. He spat it out, and two of his teeth fell
out.
Looking up at Amur, Hoffman realized that this person was not to be messed with.
He trembled with fear. He was someone who picked on the weak and feared the strong,
but now, he was terrified of being taught a harsher lesson by Amur. He cried out in
distress, "Help, murder! Help, save me!"
His cries for help attracted several police officers, who were stunned upon seeing Hoffman
being beaten.
Hoffman was known for his brutal attacks, even to the extent of taking someone's life.
However, before them, it was Hoffman who got beaten up, while the man who had just
been locked up had a calm expression on his face. He seemed completely unharmed.
"Are you starting fights in the police station? Do you not want to leave?" scolded Officer
Larsen, who was leading the group, as he opened the door.
Hoffman clung to Officer Larsen's pants like he had caught a lifeline. "Officer Larsen, this
guy hit me hard. My stomach, my leg, and oh, my teeth..."
He felt pain everywhere on his body, and the thought of Amur's terrifying methods made
him tremble as he pleaded, "Officer Larsen, I need to go to the hospital. I need to go to the
hospital!"
"You want to go get yourself checked at the hospital? You're only missing a couple of
teeth," Amur said innocently. "I only threw one punch at you, and you lost two teeth.
Brother Hoffman, why are you falsely accusing me? If it weren't for you picking a fight, I
wouldn't have laid a hand on you."

surveillance footage. We can check the cameras!"
Officer Larsen narrowed his eyes, assessing the situation in front of him.
Hoffman had gotten beaten up before. He would occasionally encounter someone with a
tougher punch than his own in the police station.
Hence, the officer was familiar with these tactics as well.
"Check the surveillance footage!" instructed Officer Larsen.
The surveillance footage was fast-forwarded, and it had not been long since the incident
occurred.
The police officers discovered that neither Amur's nor Hoffman's claims could be fully
confirmed.
It happened in a blind spot of the cameras when they were fighting. They only heard
Hoffman's wailing but did not see Amur hitting him!
"This foreign guy is cunning!" exclaimed Officer Larsen. When he returned to the detention
cell, Hoffman continued to complain about his injuries. Officer Larsen immediately
instructed his subordinates to take him to the hospital for examination.
Amur sat there without moving a muscle.
Officer Larsen felt a surge of anger. His fists were strong, but what would he do when
faced with someone even tougher?
Officer Larsen thought to himself that Hoffman looked fine. He would probably be sent
back later.
The moment he watched the surveillance footage, he realized that the foreigner in front of
him was not someone to mess with. Perhaps it was only when faced with someone
formidable that he would find himself afraid.
Amur's fists were tough, huh? In that case, he should let him meet even tougher people.
"Take him to the detention cell where those two Russians are!" Officer Larsen immediately
ordered.
The others did not say anything and promptly handcuffed Amur, leading him to the
detention cell where the two Russians were held.
Amur looked at Alexsei and Kazimir.
Alexsei and Kazimir were surprised to see Amur being brought in. They knew why he was
here.
It was either to rescue them or to ensure their demise.
"Behave yourselves. If you cause any more trouble, I won't spare you!" warned Officer
Larsen.
Amur silently walked to a corner and sat down.
After the police left, Alexsei tapped on the wall. It was the code they used on the Island of
Despair. They could not speak openly because of the surveillance camera, not even in
Russian as there was a possibility of their conversation being interpreted. 'Are you here to
kill us?'
Amur nodded, making no attempt to hide it.
Instantly, Alexsei's and Kazimir's faces turned grim. Abel was truly ruthless. He used them
and then got rid of them.
Amur tapped on the wall. 'You caused him a significant loss of money, and you can't repay
it. Only your lives can make up for it!'
Kazimir could not accept the idea of losing his life so easily and hurriedly tapped back.
'We've always done things for Boss. We shouldn't lose our lives just because of this loss. If
that's the case, don't expect us to be nice to you!'
He thought that being locked up here meant certain death. Therefore, they had been
waiting to be rescued.
However, instead of a rescue, someone had come to take their lives. In that case, they
would not hold back!
They did not know everything about Amur and the Island of Despair, but if they revealed
what they knew to the police, an investigation would surely follow.
They would not be able to destroy the Island of Despair and Abel completely, but they
could certainly cause some serious trouble for that man.
Amur calmly tapped on the wall. 'Boss knows everything about you. He said go ahead if
you wish to expose him. But, Alexsei, he knows you've found your mother, and Kazimir,
your lover has given birth to your son. Boss knows it all. He wanted me to convey a
message to you. If anything happens to him, what you value most will suffer.'

Alexsei used to be an orphan, but after completing a certain mission, he returned to the
orphanage and discovered that he was not an orphan after all. He actually had a mother.
He was one of those children who was abducted but later cleverly escaped. He eventually
ended up at the orphanage. As time passed, his memories faded, and he accepted his
identity as an orphan.
Later, he secretly reunited with his mother behind Abel's back. Alexsei's face turned pale.
He never expected his little act to be discovered by Abel.
As for Kazimir, he met his lover while he was on a mission.
She became his weak spot.
Sometimes, it was easier to manipulate a person by finding out their weaknesses.
Amur looked at the two men as their expressions turned from resentment to ghostly white.
They remained silent.
They had to choose between their weaknesses and a joint demise.
Finally, Alexsei compromised and tapped on the wall. 'I won't say anything, and I can die
immediately, but please spare my mother."
Amur looked at the other person.
Kazimir felt like he was trapped in a massive net, from which there was no escape. It was
like there were countless eyes installed everywhere on the net.
He thought he had eluded the surveillance, but he had been under constant watch all
along.
He lowered his hand, no longer making a statement.
Inside the surveillance room...
Officer Larsen watched them tap on the wall and furrowed his brows, asking, "What are
they doing?"
"Seems like they're bored and just tapping the wall," another officer guessed. When Amur
was brought in, Officer Larsen had ordered them to keep a close watch on them.
However, they had not spoken a word to each other. They just kept tapping on the wall.
"What's the deal? Do all Russians have this hobby? Tapping on walls?"
"It seems like some kind of code," said Officer Larsen. He was sent by a superior officer to
assist in the investigation of the firearms and bomb case. Thus, he had more experience
and insight than the others.
