Nicholas raised his arm and placed it on my shoulder, pullingtoward him as if declaring his authority over

me. The more | struggled, the tighter he held me.

Suddenly, a leg inserted itself between him and me, forcing him to let go.

Neal quickly retracted his leg, and in that sudden outburst, his entire demeanor changed. He seemed even

colder than before, but the vibe he gave out was different from Nicholas. One was the oppressive aura of a long-

tleader, while the other exerted brutality and bloodthirstiness.

Neal reached out to undo his uniform, neatly taking it off and placing it aside. "With the uniform on, I'm a police

officer who serves the people. Without it, I'll beat you into a pulp!"

With those words, he launched an attack, and Nicholas pushedaside. The fight between them was on a

completely different level from the previous one with Pete. | had no chance to intervene at all. Pete only looked

up after finishing his haircut. Seizing the opportunity, he quickly ran forward and punched Nicholas in the side of

his face.

Nicholas could have held his own against Neal, but with Pete joining the fray, he quickly fell into a disadvantage.

The men seemed to have lost their minds, and no matter how much I shouted, | couldn't get them to stop. No

one listened to me.

It wasn't until Neal's team members heard the noise and rushed in that they were finally separated. All three of

them showed signs of injury.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Neal beceven more arrogant with his team members present, which was completely different from his usual

soft-spoken self when talking to me.

"Neal," | called out softly, shaking my head at him. With an ordinary family background, he had no way to match

Nicholas.

From the moment | called his name, the fiery aura around him seemed to extinguish instantly. Nicholas wiped the

corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and upon seeing the bloodstains, he laughed. "Captain Steele,

right? | hope you can hold onto your position as the commander of the Criminal Investigation Division for a long

time."

"Nicholas, don't drag innocent people into this!"

"I see that you're quite capable now, Ariana." Nicholas sneered through gritted teeth as if he had heard

something utterly ridiculous.

Before he could react, Pete got angry and glared atwith a gaze cold enough to freeze me. His jaw was

clenched tightly, and he looked like a wolf that was ready to pounce.

"Ms. Ari, what's your relationship with him?" His dark eyes no longer showed the concern from before, and

he enunciated each word clearly, "Why didn't you protect me?"

| looked up at him and replied, "You can protect yourself."

Since childhood, Pete had never needed my protection Besides, no matter how angry Nicholas was at Pete, he

wouldn't really do anything to Pete considering the relationship between the two families and the fact that they

were friends. However, Neal was different.

| carefully chose my words and explained, "Neal has helpeda lot. If he hadn't gathered evidence tirelessly for

me, | wouldn't have been able to clear my hso quickly."

After speaking. | looked up at Nicholas. He stood there silently, staring atintently. When he spoke, his slightly

hoarse voice carried a hint of mockery.

"Don't jump to conclusions so soon. The truth and the law will ultimately decide whether you're really

innocent."

His words, though seeming to not bear weight at all, extinguished the last bit of hope in my heart. | never

expected him to apologize to me, but | thought he would at least feel sdegree of remorse,

Then, he turned to leave. When passing by Nicholas, he stopped and patted his shoulder.

"Nick, don't take today's incident to heart. Don't let a woman cbetween us. I'll treat you to a drink another

day."

With that, Pete walked out, habitually raising his hand to fix his hair. His hand paused abruptly as he only felt his

prickly short hair. He laughed again, lowered his hand, and swaggered out.

if he would come.

Neal gently nudgedwith his elbow, bringingback to reality. "Con, I'll take you out." Then, he put his

uniform back on and led the way, keeping a distance from me.

As we were about to leave, | turned back to Nicholas and said, "Nicholas, you're right. The law will givean
