Thea Shaw eventually went.

For nothing else but to serve the people, of course.

Especially when it’s a request from the police.

Even though she was still puzzled by Alex Sherman’s request to see her, Thea Shaw went to meet him.

Alex Sherman is still in the detention center awaiting the completion of the investigation; he’s involved in so many cases, there’s no way out for him.

He’s not in prison yet, and he’s still wearing the clothes from a few days ago when he was under investigation. Though he looks a bit disheveled, he maintains a spirited demeanor, not appearing the least bit defeated.

They met in the interrogation room, separated by a table, with two police officers beside them for Thea Shaw’s protection.

Alex Sherman seemed indifferent to their presence. The first moment he saw Thea Shaw, there was an excited gleam of enthusiasm in his eyes.

As if he wasn’t the one being detained at all.

The first thing Thea Shaw said upon sitting down was, "Uncle, we’re not that familiar, right?"

The police officers: "..."

She indeed hadn’t had any interactions with Alex Sherman before, at most this time when his daughter caused trouble, indirectly implicating him.

Alex Sherman displayed a mysterious smile, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes. He asked, "Do you believe in gods existing in this world?"

Thea Shaw: "..."

The police officers: "..."

Nobody expected that his first words upon seeing Thea Shaw made it seem like he was showing signs of mental instability.

Thea Shaw didn’t question if Alex Sherman was crazy or anything; she simply stated, "You’re not thinking of pretending to be insane to escape your crimes, are you?"

Alex Sherman didn’t answer directly; he only said, "You’ve just never seen the true god. Once you see ’It’, you will realize how ignorant and insignificant you are. What god predicts never goes wrong; I just didn’t expect you to be the variable."

Thea Shaw turned her head towards the police, "Get his brain checked later, alright?"

Police officer: "..."

They will indeed.

Thea Shaw turned back to Alex Sherman, who was smiling, appearing unafraid, as if he didn’t think what he said was wrong. Thea Shaw glanced at him, saying, "Then what do you think the god you speak of wants? You say I’m the variable, what variable? The true god wouldn’t have criminals like you committing crimes."

Alex Sherman: "That’s just your narrow differentiation. In serving god, any means are permissible."

Thea Shaw: "Then the god you speak of must certainly be a false god! You’ve been brainwashed like this at your age. No wonder June Sherman is so brainless too, it runs in the family!"

No one expected Thea Shaw’s words to be so blunt, and Alex Sherman’s expression finally changed.

The police officers were embarrassed, thinking this girl looks so ethereal, yet her words are so fierce once spoken.

Thea Shaw immediately realized: "I get it, you’re trying to intimidate! You’re flaunting that even though you’ve been caught, you have a big boss behind you. This boss is likely some cult leader who’s brainwashed you this way. So why are you taking all the responsibility? Saying it like this, won’t the investigation just continue? When your boss gets caught, do you think ’It’ will thank you?"

Alex Sherman: "..."

His face slowly darkened: "Blaspheming god like this, you will be punished?"

Thea Shaw: "Just a few words and you call it blasphemy, huh? You seem quite unconvinced; if you have the guts, come over and hit me now?"

Everyone: "..."

They feared a brawl would break out right there.
