Chapter 46: Ferocity

How ruthless and cruel! Tacito's ferocity sent shockwaves through the conference room, leaving everyone terrified. They had never encountered someone so mad, willing to fire at the slightest provocation. "Speak! Who sent you here?" Tacito's voice was calm, but to the bald policeman, it sounded like thunder, shaking him to his core. Overwhelmed by fear, the bald man stammered, "I... we were ordered to arrest you! You... you can't—" Bang! Another gunshot echoed, and the bald man's other knee exploded in a burst of blood. He crumpled to the ground, both legs now useless. "Ahhh!" The excruciating pain coursed through every nerve, tearing a scream from his throat. And with that, the countdown to death began. "Three!" "Two!" … As the cold barrel of the gun hovered above his head and Tacito's voice counted down, the bald policeman was overwhelmed by terror. He cried out desperately, "Don't... don't shoot! I'll tell you! Our captain sent us here!" "Satisha is Captain Dean's nephew! He said if you hurt Satisha, you'd pay dearly!" What! Bella's face paled as she heard this. It all made sense now—their intent to arrest was because of Satisha's connection to his uncle, Dean. "Interesting!" A cold smirk curled at the corner of Tacito's mouth, his eyes gleaming with icy resolve. "If he wants to play, then let's play." With that, Tacito turned to Bella and said, "I'm going to the police station." Before anyone could react, Tacito grabbed the bald policeman by the foot and dragged him out of the conference room like a lifeless rag doll. The two injured policemen, terrified and powerless, followed in tow, too frightened to do anything else. The scene was surreal. Tacito, who was supposed to be the target, now looked more like the hunter leading his prey. It wasn't until they had left that Bella fully grasped the gravity of the situation. "It's over! Tacito going to the police station is like walking straight into a trap!" "No! I have to call my dad and get Grandpa involved! Only if Grandpa intervenes might the Harper family show some leniency!" Determined, Bella hurried out of the conference room. Her departure threw the remaining people into chaos. Their nerves were still rattled by Tacito's cold ruthlessness. No one had ever imagined that the son-in-law, who had been ridiculed for three years, could act so fiercely and brutally. Behind Naoki, a young man hesitated before bowing and asking, "Master, Mr. Temple is sure to be arrested if he goes to the police station this time! Should we continue staying with the White Enterprises Group?" The young man knew his teacher had come here solely for Tacito. But now, with Tacito in danger, staying seemed pointless. However, what the young man didn't expect was Naoki's response. "Stay! Of course, we stay!" There was a strange gleam in Naoki's eyes. Earlier, he had been unsure if Tacito was the person he had heard rumors about. But now, after witnessing Tacito's ruthlessness and skill, he was more convinced than ever. This young man was indeed the one who made the world's most powerful tremble. "Don't worry! No one can touch Mr. Temple!" Naoki's words were filled with deep conviction.
