Chapter 18 Teasing the Pretty Police Officer

• In the dimly lit cell, Lewis sat cross-legged on the corner bunk, engrossed in practising the Astral Codex. As he felt the air currents swirling around him, he sensed a condensation of energy in his veins. The martial arts techniques he was mastering seemed more advanced than what Patricia had described. After a night of intense training, instead of feeling tired, he felt unusually energised, his strength noticeably enhanced. He must have made a breakthrough.
• The cell door swung open, and police officers called out Lewis's name. They handcuffed him and escorted him swiftly to a larger interrogation room. Positioned before a sturdy iron table and chair, Lewis's expression turned icy as he confronted the police, demanding, "What evidence justifies this unlawful imprisonment and handcuffing? I'll be filing a complaint against you."
• "Since you're here, tell us the truth," barked a police officer.
