The station captain was under pressure from his superiors because the police officers still couldn't get Nicholas to talk.

When he learned that Alyssa wanted to try negotiating with Nicholas, he decided solving the case was more important than following protocol.

Although Alyssa wasn't a professional negotiator, he made an exception and allowed her to meet with Nicholas for a chat.

Jasper and Cyrus watched Alyssa's confrontation with Nicholas through a one-way mirror in the observation room next to the interrogation room.

Their faces were grim and filled with concern.

In the interrogation room, Nicholas stared emotionlessly at Alyssa.

"Ms. Alyssa, I've confessed everything I need to confess.

I don't think we have anything left to discuss." "Chief Novak," Alyssa began.

"Please don't call me that.

Here, I'm just a cold-blooded murder suspect," Nicholas mocked.

Even as a prisoner, he retained his elegance—decades as an official had imbued him with an air of calmness that wouldn't disappear overnight.

"Alright, Mr.

Novak, then," Alyssa conceded.

Her gaze held warmth and respect.

"I know you didn't end up here because you're evil.

It was because you had no other choice." "You're wrong.

All my decisions were my own," Nicholas insisted.

A corner of his lip twitched.

Alyssa, I only agreed to this meeting because you once saved my wife.
