Two days later, the authorities apprehended Melvin immediately after receiving the report.
Unfortunately, the past two days had been filled with misery for everyone involved.
The police discovered the Thompsons’ nearly wrecked car near the beach, and the driver was gravely injured,
ultimately succumbing to his injuries on the way to the hospital.
Nicholas had diligently checked the surveillance footage in various locations but could not locate Lina and Renee.
Even the person responsible for taking them had vanished, leaving all fingers pointing at Melvin.
Through their connections, Zuko and Toph managed to gain access to the interrogation room where Melvin was
held.
Upon seeing them, Melvin displayed a cunning grin, and a wicked gleam shone in his triangular eyes.
Toph couldn’t contain his anger and clenched his fist, ready to strike. However, Melvin remained motionless, coldly
observing them before bursting into hysterical laughter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtToph’s punch abruptly halted just as it was about to connect with Melvin’s face. Filled with rage, he struck the table
with great force, shaking with fury.
Zuko placed a comforting hand on Toph’s shoulder and gazed at Melvin with a grim expression.
“Where are they?” Zuko demanded.
Melvin responded with a mocking tone. “Ha! The two young heirs have come just to ask that?”
Toph shouted, “Stop pretending!”
Melvin scoffed and jingled the handcuffs restraining his hands. “You two are too young to challenge me!”
Rage burned in Zuko’s eyes. He realized his mistake. While they had been filing the report, Melvin had planted a
mole in the Thompson residence. When the police apprehended him, they discovered that Lina and Renee had
gone missing.
Melvin was currently at the police station, believing it to be the safest place. “I know Nicholas has surveillance set
up everywhere. One reason is to find his precious daughter, but the other reason… Once I leave this police station,
his men will kill me! Ha! Am I that foolish? I’ve already pleaded guilty. Taking shortcuts, embezzling money… I’ve
admitted to it all! As long as I’m in here, Nicholas can’t touch me. I’m safe! Hahaha…
“As for Pamela, I was able to abduct her back then, and now I can hide her in a place where you’ll never find her!”
“You despicable scoundrel!” Zuko shouted.
Melvin’s smirk remained arrogant. They were within the police station, surrounded by cameras, and dared not
physically harm him.
“Why are you doing this?” Toph questioned, his voice filled with frustration. “Uncle Nicholas never wronged you, yet
you’re doing all of this to him!”
“I suppose he never wronged me…” Melvin responded with a smug expression. “But I hate him! I hate that he’s
thriving while I struggle. He’s a gangster who managed to turn his life around and succeed! Why not me?”
“You’re completely deranged!” Toph couldn’t contain his anger any longer and raised his fist once again.
However, before Toph could deliver his punch, Zuko stepped forward and kicked Melvin’s chair, causing him to

Toph unleashed a series of powerful punches to Melvin’s chest. Bound by his restraints, Melvin was defenseless
against the onslaught.
Melvin’s agonized screams echoed from the interrogation room, unable to fight back due to his bound hands and
feet.
“Stop it! You fiends… This is a police station! How dare you assault me!” Melvin shrieked.
“Melvin!” Zuko’s grip tightened around his collar as he spoke with intense determination. “No matter where you go,
there’s nowhere you can hide from me if I want to end your wretched life!”
Melvin’s face turned purple, his bulging eyes reflecting his anguish.
“You…”
“Tell me!” Zuko gritted his teeth. “Where are Lina and Renee?!”
Despite his pitiful appearance, Melvin mustered a smug grin.
“Tell me!” Toph delivered another punch. “Speak! Speak now!”
