"AHH! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!? I don't know anything!" Mayor Hasting, clutching his bleeding hands, screamed in a mix of pain and desperation.

The excruciating agony was too much, bringing him to tears mixed with blood. "SOMEONE SAVE ME!" he bellowed, his voice echoing through the walls of the study, a plea disappearing into the void.

Wang Xiao watched, unmoved by the mayor's cries.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about, Mayor. The games you play, the strings you pull... they all have consequences. And tonight, those consequences have caught up with you... It implicated not only you but even the people around you," he stated, his voice resonating with a cold, hard truth.

Mayor Hasting's eyes, bloodshot and wild with fear, darted desperately around the room. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT!?" he screamed, his voice hoarse with pain and terror, hoping against hope that someone would hear him.
