One-on-One Meeting

Hajime wanted to fly at everyone who was there and duke it out with them. But before he could do so, one of the policemen had already completed putting a gag on Megumi's mouth.

Hajime froze in place since the person responsible for pinning Megumi down also pointed a knife at her throat.

Even though the policeman wore a bona fide policeman uniform, his expression was nothing short of criminal when he pressed the knife on Megumi's throat. Hajime could see the fleeting life in Megumi's eyes as the knife was pressed a little bit more. A deep red started running through the edge of the knife as a drop of blood slowly flowed by the end of it, coagulating right above Megumi's neckline. Megumi flinched, but even though she wanted so hard to scream, the gag in her mouth prevented her from doing so.

"If you so much as move an inch, we're going to slit her throat and you can say goodbye to your girlfriend." The man wore a smirk on his face as he threatened Hajime.
