Daniel was released on the very same day that he was caught. Just a few hours after his arrest. The lawyer that Marcus had hired was quite efficient, he did not need to do much or make up a false statement. The lawyer did all that for him.
It felt good knowing that he could still scare Marcus like that because after the confrontation that they had back at the Thompson mansion, Daniel had almost believed that he had lost all his influence and power. Perhaps, he was not as week as he had assumed to be and now he was going to make sure that this fear that his arrest had instilled in Marcus, remains there.
Cracking his knuckles and neck, the first thing that Daniel did after being released was go to the nearest hotel to clean himself and call for a doctor to treat his wounds. He told the lawyer to convey his thanks to Marcus and also promised him quite a hefty amount for getting him released.
