Chapter 366

Clutching his bloody hand, Donald nearly passed out from the pain. Even Dylan and Natasha were shocked by this display of brutality.

While they had been willing to threaten Donald and risk their lives against him, they would never dare to actually harm him in his own precinct with armed officers outside.

Yet Marvin, the billionaire, had just severed Donald’s pinky right there, showing a level of power that far exceeded their underground influence.

“Mr. Yates, where’s Andrew?” Lauren asked urgently.

Marvin smiled. “Go see him, Lauren. He’s fine, and he’ll be happier with you there.”

Lauren blushed slightly before heading off with Francesca and the Aickers to find Andrew.

“Sir, how should we proceed?” Mark asked respectfully.

Marvin snorted. “Jayrodale is your jurisdiction, and Donald is your man. Handle it as you see fit.”

Without another word, he left, not even bothering to show deference to the mayor.

Mark’s face twitched – this was exactly what he had feared. Without clear direction, the implications could vary wildly – from letting Donald off the hook to ending his life for his foolishness.

“You idiot! Why did you arrest him without cause?” Mark roared.

Donald cried out in pain. “Mr. Thatcher, I had no idea you and Mr. Yates knew Andrew! If I’d known, I wouldn’t have dared touch him even if I had the courage of a thousand men!”

Mark said through gritted teeth, “Listen carefully and answer my questions truthfully. Don’t try to hide anything. Marvin clearly wants you dead – if you weren’t the chief commissioner, Dylan would have already torn you to pieces on his orders.”

Donald’s pants darkened as he wet himself. “Mr. Thatcher, I know I was wrong! Please save me, please make Mr. Yates spare me!”

Mark paced anxiously, “Normally, as my city’s official, I’d discipline you but not destroy you. However, you absolute moron, you should never have messed with Mr. Lloyd.”

“You’re right, I shouldn’t have bothered Mr. Lloyd!” Donald nodded frantically. “He knows Mr. Yates, and he’s under his protection – I was asking for trouble; it was suicidal!”

Mark laughed coldly, “You really are as stupid as you look. You’re wrong – Mr. Lloyd isn’t under Marvin’s protection. On the contrary, Marvin and Mr. Lloyd have a mysterious relationship that even I don’t fully understand. From what I can tell, Mr. Lloyd appears to be Marvin’s superior. Now, do you understand what kind of mess you’ve created?”

Donald’s mind was blown by the revelation, and the puddle beneath him grew larger and more putrid. “What? Andrew is Mr. Yates’s superior? That’s… that’s impossible!”

“Mr. Thatcher, please save me!” Donald sobbed. I’ll do anything – be his slave, beg for forgiveness, whatever he wants! Just please don’t let me die!”
