The subordinate retreated to the side.
Isaac looked at Hubert and indifferently asked, "What's the relationship between you and Zoey?"
"I'm her fan!"
Hubert grabbed the hostage and demanded, "Captain Gilbert, I know you are very powerful, but I still want to tell you that if you want this hostage to live, you have to let go of Zoey!"
The corner of Isaac's mouth twitched. "That's impossible."
"You..."
Hubert was rendered speechless. Isaac wasn't even willing to tell a white lie.
Hubert suppressed his anger. After all, he could not actually kill someone at such a critical moment. He could only continue to negotiate. "That shouldn't be difficult for you, right, Captain Gilbert?"
"It's not a matter of whether it's difficult or not, it's a matter of principle. It's an indisputable fact that Zoey killed people. She won't be released and made innocent because of her mental instability. At most, she'll only be tried under different standards."
