Chapter 736
The Silver Crescent Prison was about 20 minutes away from the villa. It was the largest prison in the world and the strongest. I only allowed the Elite force to guard it, and no criminal, no matter their strength, had ever been able to escape.
It was so well-known and strong that I allowed prisoners from outside of my territory to be held there as well. One prisoner in particular happened to be the one I was seeing this evening.
“Alpha,” Gerald, one of the guards, greeted, giving me a nod as I passed through the gates.
I nodded back but said nothing as I continued to walk through the security. A few other guards also nodded at me, murmuring their greetings.
I stepped through the doors, where I greeted some of the Silver Crescent Police Force.
I contacted them already when I was on my way, to let them know of my visit and who I was there to see. I was led through a variety of doors, not that I didn’t know where I was going, but I wasn’t there as their Alpha; I was there as a visitor.
We stepped into the visitor center and sat in one of the seats.
“He’ll be here in a second,” the officer said before he stepped back.
“Give us some privacy,” I said without even looking at him.
“Yes, Alpha,” the officer replied before retreating from the room.
The visiting center was set up, so the guests were on one side, and the prisoners were on the other, separated by clear, soundproof, and bulletproof glass. They could communicate by phone, which was set up at each visiting station.
The doors swung open on the other side of the glass, and a couple of guards walked through, pulling a prisoner along with them. My back straightened when I saw the tired and worn-out face of Levi Churchill.
He also looked a bit beaten.
The cuffs around his arms and legs made it so none of his abilities worked; he was as weak as a human. Easy to beat.
His eyes narrowed when he saw me, and he lowered himself into the seat. He slowly grabbed the phone to the best of his ability and brought it to his ear while the guards stepped back, refusing to take their eyes off him for a second.
I picked up the phone on my end and brought it to my own ears.
“What honor do I have for this visit, Alpha?” He drew out the word Alpha like it was a bitter taste on his tongue.
“Did you know Lila was a Blackwell?” I asked, straight to the point. I wasn’t there to have a mindless conversation or beat around the bush; I was there to get answers and then get the fuck out so I can go home and spend time with my mate.
He raised his brows, and the corner of his lips twitched.
“Why do you ask?”
“Answer the question, Churchill.”
“You’ve been busy-”
I slammed my fists on the table in front of me, rattling the phone receiver in the process.
“I am not playing around, Levi. Tell me the truth. Who the fuck is Lila?” was at my wits end, and was seconds away from tearing through this glass and ripping him apart. This was my fucking prison; I could do just that if I wanted to. Levi let out a belt of laughter.
“Does Lila have it?” I asked.
I assumed she was the one who stole it and replaced it at the auction, unless Daisy ran away with it when she stole it from my mother.
“Impossible,” I said through my teeth.
“Is it?” He asked, raising his brows. “You only know what your father told you. But your father lies.”
“He’s not the liar,” I growled. “You are.”
“Then why did you come to see me if you think I’m such a liar?”
I clenched my fists; my silence spoke volumes.
“Now that the right family has their thing back… they are going to come after you, Landry. I’d watch my back if I were you.”
With that, he hung up the phone and stood.
I stared after him as he left; I came for answers, but I’m leaving with even more questions.
