"Oh, right. I totally forgot about that. Yesterday, I promised to meet the Police Chief. I guess there's one more meeting with the authorities," Ryder let out with a wry smile on his face as he made a U-turn and went towards the Police Station.

He parked the car before the station and entered the station. He walked to a cop and told him that he was invited to meet the Chief.

The Cop recognized Ryder and escorted him to the room of the station chief.

The cop told Ryder to wait outside as he opened the door and entered the room.

He informed the Police Chief of Ryder's arrival.

After a few minutes, he came out of the room.

"You can go inside," The Cop told Ryder.

Ryder entered the room.

He saw a man sitting on the chair behind a table. The man was wearing a dress that highlighted his position as the Police Chief.

The man looked like he was in his late thirties. He had a clean face and short black hair.

"Have a seat," He told Ryder as he pointed towards the chair.

Ryder stepped forth and sat on the chair.

" I was expecting you yesterday, but I was told that you were busy," The Chief said with an expressionless face as he opened a drawer and pulled out a paper.

"Yeah, I had a meeting planned," Ryder replied.

"That's alright. I guess we can't expect you to come whenever we want. We can only force criminals to the stations," the Chief replied.

"Anyway, I'm Mak Donner. I'm the one handling all the cops that keep this place safe," The Police Chief let out as he reached out his hand to shake Ryder's hand.

"Ryder, Ryder Flynn," Ryder let out as he reached out his hand as well and shook the hands of Mak.

"So, Mr. Ryder. I found out that you have sued my department. May I ask why you would do that?" Mak asked Ryder.

"Because your department violated the rights of my sister and participated in an injustice. They arrested my sister for no reason and without any research. Even if they arrested my sister, they let the other person go that was involved in that argument. It shows a clear partiality just because my sister didn't show her backing." Ryder answered the Police Chief.

"As for the last thing, it's even bigger. The cops didn't allow my sister to call and inform me while they locked her up behind bars. That's the major violation of her rights. I also have more things, but that should be left for when we meet in the court of law," he added with a casual look on his face.

"So you sued us for Twenty Million Dollars?" Mak inquired as he frowned.

"I don't have any idea how much I sued you for. I left that for my lawyer, but he did say something along those lines," Ryder replied as he shook his head.

" I want you to not go forward with this lawsuit and stop this. Our station can't come up with so much money even if we lose. I accept that our officers made a mistake, but we are all humans. We all make mistakes," Mak told Ryder.

"This is not about the mistake, but corruption and blaming an innocent. I'm sorry, but I'll go forth with the lawsuit. It's not for me, but for my sister. As for the money, I'm sure the city will be able to come up with the money. It's not like you guys are a private organization that soon fork out of your pockets," Ryder let out as he refused the offer.

"I'm not taking back the lawsuit. I want to, and I will win this. The money that we receive from you guys will go to the girl that was affected by your blunder. Alice will get all the money, and she will become a millionaire, thanks to you guys," Ryder replied as he smiled innocently.

"So you don't want to cooperate. Does money matter more to you than your security?" Mak asked Ryder.

"Mr. Mak, You should choose your words wisely. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought that you were threatening me just now," Ryder replied with a subtle smile on his face.

"Of course, I wouldn't threaten you. I'm here to protect the citizens, and you come under them, but if you take the money from our department, we wouldn't have enough funds to take care of all our citizens. It would be a real shame if something happened to you because the department didn't have enough funding to maintain our personnel and keep the city safe. It would be best if you thought again," The Police Chief again told Ryder.

"I told you what I wanted to say. I don't think I will have anything else to add. The decision is yours. I won't force you to take back the lawsuit, but I would tell you to be a little considerate," He added.

"I also told you what I wanted to say. I have thought about it. I'm not taking back the lawsuit. If you don't have anything else to talk about, I will take my leave," Ryder let out as he smiled. He stood up, and just as he turned back, he heard the voice of the Police Chief.

"I hope you won't regret your decision," Mak said.

"Since you have given me such nice advice, let me give you some advice as well. If you or anyone from the police department tried to hurt my family or me, then you will definitely regret your decision. Take it however you want. Don't try to test me. I'm not the person that will be afraid of your hidden threats, and I won't be the one who will stay silent. I hope you won't try to test my limits," Ryder said without looking back.

He walked towards the door and left the room.

Ryder stepped out of the police station and entered his car.

"That guy really called me here to threaten me. That son of a..." Ryder started cursing as he sat in the car.

"I'm not worried about me, but I do worry about Alice. She doesn't have the healing or anything like that, but I can't backtrack now either. Should I do something to increase the protection around Alice?" He muttered as he started the car and drove it back to his house.

He was going back to his home, but he stopped the car along the way as he looked ahead.

Right ahead, he saw what seemed like a body, just lying in the middle of the road.

This road was empty at the moment too.

Ryder frowned as he stepped out of the car and walked towards the body that was bleeding on the ground.

The body was lying face down on the ground. He tilted the body to the side, but he was stunned to find a gun in the hand of the body that it was suddenly pointing towards Ryder.

The person before him wasn't dead or injured, and he was simply pretending to be hurt.

The man's goal was to hijack a car, but the people had become more clever now, and they didn't stop the cat for a stranger. He felt like the possibility of getting the cat was higher if a driver came out of his car and stepped closer to him.

" Don't move, or you'll die," the man let out as he aimed the gun at Ryder.

"Oh, that's your car? I guess I'm quite lucky today. Quick, give me the keys," The man told Ryder.

"Are you seriously robbing me in the open? Although it's evening, but still. Aren't you afraid?" Ryder inquired as he sighed.

"Afraid of what? The cops? They don't petrol this place, and by the time you will complain, and they get here, I'll be long gone," The man told Ryder.

"Not the cops. I was asking, aren't you afraid of dying?" Ryder asked as he shook his head.

"Dying? Who will kill me? You? Hmph, stop wasting my time, you pipsqueak. Give me the keys and your wallet," the man thundered as he glared at Ryder.

"Stanner? Does this guy love pretending to be dead? How about you make him dead for real? Scums like this need to die," Ryder told Stanner.

Stanner moved his hand towards the man's throat, but his hands passed through the man and couldn't touch him.

"I-i can't touch him," Stanner told Ryder after he tried again. "Maybe it's because I'm not a cursed spirit anymore, and I got my revenge. I am at peace. I can't touch anyone or harm them."

"Sigh, that sucks. I guess I'll do it myself then," Ryder let out as he sighed.

"You bastard! Who are you talking to? Are you trying to scare me in the name of a ghost? Don't be oversmart, or you won't even know how you died," The Man warned Ryder.
