The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1781

One did not need imagination to understand that the elderly man was someone important, as his very presence stood out from the rest.

Huub's eyes lit up as soon as he saw him, and he dashed toward him without a care. He even grabbed the old man's thigh and started bawling, a far cry from the unbelievably smug heir of Droitner Inc. earlier.

"Huey? What's going on here?!" the old man exclaimed in surprise.

He was using a pet form of Huub's name, and it was obvious from his question alone that the two were close.

"Godfather! He's trying to kill mel Huub bawled at the top of his lungs and shot Frank a vicious smirk where the old man could not see Frank was a dead man now!

On the other hand, while Frank had no idea who the old man was or why Huub was so confident now, he refrained from killing Huub.

In fact, he only watched as Huub fled to the old man's side, since he had to admit that Huub was right about one thing.

Killing Huub on the spot would lead to a chain reaction-if Madfist could not save the hostages and Huub died, Winter and everyone else would die too.

Frank could not take that risk, though he was also keen to see who this old man, whom Huub saw as a savior, was. He more or less felt that Droitner Inc. had a powerful supporter despite its modest scale.

"Insolence!" the old man suddenly barked, striding toward Frank. "You're the one who tried to kill me godson, brat?!

Frank was jolted to his senses and found the old man glaring at himself with naked savagery, with the police officers he had brought all training their guns on Frank.

Still, Frank nodded calmly. "Yes."

"My god… isn't he the police commissioner?!

"Yeah! It's Commissioner Himmich himself in the flesh! This exhibition is really heating up!"

Frank narrowed his eyes, hearing the exhibition visitors' comments just then.

He studied the old man from head to toe, quite surprised that he was the police commissioner of Bralog.

You're Commissioner Himmich? Frank asked, showing no fear.

In fact, he appeared even more proud now as he pointed at Huub and said, "This is none of your business. I'm here for Huub Droitner alone, and you will suffer the consequences if you insist on interfering."

"What?!"

All the exhibition guests were left gaping, their jaws dropping when they heard Frank's staunch, determined words.

Someone actually dared to use such a tone against the police commissioner of Bralog?! Moreover, it was clearly a threat, and against the commissioner at that!

While Bralog was not that important and being the commissioner here was no big deal, that still made him an important official of Draconia!

Unlike the mayor, the commissioner had command over every police office or the military under special circumstances!

And yet, the way Frank spoke to Commissioner Himmich was nothing less than a slap to his face!

In fact, Huub was smirking in contempt after hearing Frank's threat, despite his initial surprise by Frank's threat.

While this was just Huub's personal squabble against Frank earlier, things were now fundamentally different now that Frank had threatened Commissioner Himmich.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1782

While this was just Huub's personal squabble against Frank earlier, things were now fundamentally different now that Frank had threatened the police commissioner of Bralog.

Earlier, Leino Himmich could only stop the argument or chase Frank away.

After all, there were many people watching, and he could not risk appearing biased despite being Huub's godfather.

On the other hand, when it came to Frank's threat against the police commissioner of Bralog…

It was a slip of the tongue, to put it mildly, and a deliberate violation of the law, to put it in more serious terms.

And to no surprise, the old man glowered at Frank's retort and growled, "I don't know where you're from brat, but you're here in Bralog! This is my jurisdiction, and not only have you vandalized this state-sponsored exhibition, but you've also attempted to murder my godson and threatened me! "Don't you think that I, Leino Himmich, would look weak if I let you go and neglect to enforce the law?! Arrest that insolent prick right now!" "Yes, sir!"

At Leino's bellow, the police officers answered at once, training their weapons as they encircled and advanced on Frank.

Frank laughed coolly in turn. "Hah! So, the police commissioner of Bralog is going to make an arrest without caring to justify himself? It seems that you're really in league with Droitner Inc.!"

"Hold up!" Leino bellowed, holding up his hands to stop his officers just as they reached Frank After all, he was not deaf to Frank's threat or the comments of the crowd around him.

"Godfather…"

Huub, who had been smirking, was at once frowning and agitated to see Leino stop his officers. "He's an accomplished martial artist! Don't give him a chance, or he'll slip away and it'd be too late!"

"Patience." Leino simply waved him off.

He certainly saw things differently.

While Huub wanted Leino to arrest Frank or execute him on the spot to prevent further troubles, Leino was more concerned with public sentiment. If this was done in private, anything would have been fine.

But now, Leino could see that after Frank had spoken, the crowd of exhibition visitors were suddenly regarding Leino with suspicion and disapproval.

If Leino arrested Frank without allowing him the chance to explain himself, it was clear that Leino was trying to sweep this issue under the rug.

On top of that, everyone knew about Leino's ties with Droitner Inc., and he had to be especially delicate with such matters, or it would affect his promotion. "You brat!" he barked. "Humans have sentiment, and I am no exception. However, I refuse to hide anything admit that I'm basically a brother to Paul Droitner, the current CEO of Droitner Inc., but the closer we are, the more transparent I shall be!" "Good job, Commissioner Himmich!"

SW "That's our commissioner! His integrity is above the rest!"

His words were fair and just, and everyone was at once approving, even applauding.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Leino smiled subtly in turn at everyone's flattery, his frown easing from glee.

This was exactly what he wanted to take down Frank and et righteously at that, so that the mob would be swayed to his side, further tifying his resume. Beside him, however, Huub was scowling and cursing Leino a million times over inwardly.

After all, he knew what Leino was up to, but he could not do anything now because he still had to rely on Leino.

As such, he had to keep pretending to be a miserable little wounded pet.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1783

"Transparency, you say?"

Frank laughed coldly and raised his chin proudly as he pointed at Huub, bellowing with righteous indignation, "Then what are you going to do about Huub Droitner, who's representing Droitner Inc. in collaborating with foreign businesspeople to smuggle and sell national treasures and artifacts?! "Huub Droitner has also burned down my mansion in Zamri and abducted my family as hostages to coerce me into handing over my possession. Why do you think I traveled all the way here?! I'm a reasonable man, and you're claiming that I'd come looking for him for no reason?!"

"What?!"

Leino was left frowning at Frank's accusation.

Naturally, as the police commissioner of Bralog, there was no way he would not know about Droitner Inc. smuggling and selling national treasures and artifacts.

In fact, he had already made a deal with Paul in secret-one might even say those national treasures and artifacts had only made it abroad because Leino agreed to it.

Leino had also received a fat check for his troubles, which was why he lowered his eyes and glared at Huub angrily right then, sending a chill down Huub's spine.

He had already told Droitner Inc. that if they were to continue their shady business, they must keep their hands clean-they could not leave any evidence that could be traced back to them.

If anything happened, they were all going to fall together, because this mess would not be something a humble police commissioner like him could cover.

As such, Leino's glare was nothing less than accusing Huub for allowing Frank to find out about their shady dealings.

Still, Huub was himself aggrieved he had made sure to bring a legion of bodyguards when he brought the foreign businesspeople, keeping the exhibition visitors ten meters away.

How could Frank have heard them when he was so far away?

But considering how Frank had basically demolished the exhibition hall with a single punch, Huub decided that Frank must have superhuman hearing and could spy on them.

It was not like he could have done anything there…

Still, as Leino continued to glare at him, Huub was experienced enough to see that he must deny everything.

Looking up as everyone watched, he cried miserably, "No, Godfather, that's slander! I was never involved in smuggling and selling national_ treasures and artifacts! I just brought some friends from abret el.ne since they admired our exhibition! I swear… lightning shall strike me where I stand if I'd ever intended to sell our national treasures!"Boom!

Right after Huub finished, a deafening crack of thunder resounded in the bright skies!

The thunder left Huub flinching, and even the onlooking crowd were gaping in disbelief.

"It's not thunder-just the pillars crumbling," Leino quickly said.

He was certainly experienced, pointing at the pillars to distractMaterial © NôvelDrama.Org.

suspicious. Ben they were getting "Oh… I see! So the building is falling apart!"

the "I actually thought that it was thunder for a moment. That's so scary…"

"You think? A thunder would mean that Mr. Droitner is lying."

"You're kidding-Mr. Droitner would never lie. If he did, there'd be a comeuppance."

Leino could certainly hear the crowd's comments, but he had to clean up Huub's mess just to protect himself.

"Frank Lawrence, right?" he asked uT haughtily, glaring at Frank. "I can personally testify against both your accusations. Droitner Inc. is a legitimate company, and they are only selling quality replicas abroad."

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1784

"Your accusation is therefore outrageous, when there are no national treasures and artifacts here.

Pausing, Leino narrowed his eyes as he continued. "Also, you said that Huub burned your mansion and kidnapped your family, didn't you? But I did not receive any such news from Zamri. That shouldn't be so, unless you didn't report it to the police commissioner of Zamri.

"As to why you wouldn't ask for their help to arrest Huub, I have a hunch that it was your fault in the first place… or that it never happened!"

"Yes!"

Huub could leap up and applaud Leino right then-the old fox was so cunning that just a couple of words were enough to reverse Frank's accusation. That was simply amazing!

"Hmph."

Leino smiled coolly just then and snapped at Frank, "Arrests and indictment require evidence. If I decide to press charges just because someone was running his mouth, public order would collapse.

"You, on the other hand, have destroyed this state-sponsored exhibition and even attempted murder. I saw you did both with my own eyes, not to mention that you were insulting and slandering me, the police commissioner of Bralog! There are plenty of other witnesses here too, so what do you have to say about that?!"

Frank closed his eyes, chuckled, and shook his head. "It seems that I was being stupid."

"You finally realize that now, don't you?"

Huub could not resist dissing, et saying, "And since you know that stop embarrassing yourself and let yourself be arrested! Who knows, the judges might be lenient "No, that's not what I'm talking about."

net Frank paused and looked up to smile at Lein@right then. "Since Droitner Inc. was smuggling and selling national treasures and artifacts, they would definitely have needed protection from authorities. So I'm sure you've received a fair share of the profits, haven't you, Commissioner Himmich?" face fell right then. "Impudent brat! How dare you slander me even now!"

Huub was snapping right then too, "Exactly! My godfather is right and just. He's not like you, despicable and unprincipled!"

His outburst, however, left Leino flinching uncomfortably, which Frank sharply noticed.

"Good."

Frank shrugged and smiled, understanding everything right then. "Since you want proof, I don't mind playing your game."

He then narrowed his eyes at Leino. "Commissioner Himmich, I'm giving. you one last chance: Arrest Huub Droitner and investigate his crimes now. But if you insist on protecting Droither Inc…. Well, we'll see

Leino had been involved in politics long enough to read facial cues.

As such, he could see that Frank was not showing any weakness-he really had a hand to play, and that left Leino uncertain.

Eventually, Leino glanced at the crowd whispering among themselves, gritted his teeth, and snapped, "You brat! You're not only attempting murder, but you've even threatened and slandered me! I will no longer abide by your crimes!"

"Men, take him-shoot him if he resists, in the name of justice!"

Frank sighed, seeing that Commissioner Himmich was finally giving up on pretenses.

"I'm sorry, Commissioner Himmich, but you've chosen poorly."

And with that, he whipped out his phone to make a call, saying only a single line as everyone watched. "Tell the mayor of Bralog to see me."

His calm words left the crowd stunned, and even the police officers under Leino's command paused.

They all turned to look at Leino, who naturally heard Frank too.

He was stunned-who was the brat talking to, who had the authority to order the mayor of Bralog around?

"Hahaha!"

However, while everyone was left hesitating, Huub suddenly laughed out loud, wheezing even as he pointed at Frank. "You're still pretending when you're going to die?! What, did you think you could intimidate my godfather and make him back off?!

"I'm telling you right now-that's not going to happen! Your crude acting isn't fooling everyone!"

While Huub's laugher brought Leino to his senses, he still did not see any signs of weakness from Frank's face-only pride.

"P-Please stop!"

A large group of people charged out of the crowd just then, with none other than Helen Lane leading them.

"What…?"

Frank was surprised to see Helen show up here, hundreds of miles away from Zamri. "What are you doing here?!"

"Winter is my sister too," Helen quickly said before he could ask further questions.

Frank's heart skipped a beat at those words, a warmth unfurling in his ice-cold heart while his stiff expression relaxed.

"Please stop!" Helen then strode past Frank, standing in front of him as she stared at Leino fearlessly.

And behind them were a large group of people-security officers from Lanecorp's health and security department, including Peter Lane and Scarface Tucker.

Yora Yimmel, whose family was a big deal in Bralog, had come too et They were all standing behind Helen, clearly showing that she was the only leader there

Leino did not recognize the others, but he did recognize Yora, as well as the people from her family. They were among the top families of Bralog, after all. He frowned at Frank just then-did Huub not just say he was from Zamri? How did he get involved with the Yimmels, with even their matriarch coming personally?!

swneve Even Leino himself had to show the Yimmels due respect, and he presumed that Frank must have called the Yimmels just now.

But that was not quite right, since Frank said he was calling the mayor of Bralog—and not even the Yimmels had the right to order the mayor around. Did that mean that Frank was just buying time with his call just now?

While Leino was left confused, Huub stood up and smiled at Helen. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could've sent my people to receive you…"

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1786

Helen completely ignored Huub's fawning smile, however, and kept her eyes on Leino as she said solemnly, "You must be Leino Himmich, the police commissioner of Bralog. Madam Yimmel has told me about you.

"However, this man is my husband," she added, gesturing at Frank just then. "So may I ask you to do me a favor and look the other way if he has disrespected you?"

"Do you a favor?"

Leino frowned and asked coolly, "And who are you?"

"Helen Lane, board chairwoman of Zamri's Lanecorp."

"Helen Lane..."

Leino searched his mind, but he had never heard of Helen, so she would definitely not be anyone important.

However, it stunned Leino that Yora stood behind that young woman—did that mean that the Yimmels were vassals to Lanecorp, even though Leino had never heard of them?!

After some thought, Leino stroked his beard and said, "Yes, I can look the other way, but the property damage he has caused..."

He looked pointed at the mostly demolished exhibition hall, his meaning obvious.

"Not a problem." Helen nodded, agreeing to the deal right away.

That left Leino surprised, since the exhibition hall was not that cheap to build-it was five hundred million dollars if they had to rebuild it, but this young woman agreed to it anyway?!

"Helen? Why aren't you talking to me?"

On the other hand, Huub was at once annoyed that Helen was protecting Frank and completely ignoring him.

To his shock, Helen merely shot him a brief glance before turning away in disdain, leaving his rage flaring. "Let's go, Frank. I've spoken to the Yimmels-we just have to plan something else to save the hostages..." Helen turned toward Frank just then, suddenly turning from an ice queen girlboss to a humble, demure lady. Huub was left gaping as he watched from the distance, and even the exhibition visitors were left stunned too.

None of them had expected such a

charismatic, haughty girlboss who would not bow to the police

commissioner of Bralog to suddenly change to such a mild soul around Frank. g

"That's unnecessary."

Nheless, Frank did not care about the looks everyone else was giving him.

He strode up to stand beside Helen

watching Leino and Huub from the distance. "I've already made a call ahead of time. He'll be here soon." NovelDrama.OrgContent is property of

swne

"Here? Who?" Helen asked, surprised by Frank's confidence.

"The mayor of Bralog," Frank said quietly, not bothered to keep Helen in suspense. "Pfft..."

Huub pretended to laugh out loud right then, even if he was really jealous of Frank and would kill him. on the spot to take Helen from him "You've really done it now, Frank! Helen came to save your ass, but you're rejecting her goodwill? You really think you have the mayor of Bralog at your beck and Call?"

"That's right, Frank. We should just..."

Helen was frowning when she heard Huub's diss and could not help trying to reason with Frank.

However, remembering her mistrust previously and seeing the confidence on Frank's face, she eventually stayed silent.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1787

"Huub Droitner!"

Helen was suddenly stern as she looked up and glared coldly at Huub, who was still hiding beside Leino. "You deceived me with your fake Bloodcrane Spiritbloom and tried to pull a con on Lanecorp, and you forced us into compliance by kidnapping my friends and family! Release them now, and we will let you walk!"

"Don't make me laugh!"

Huub's entire face was barely controllable as he saw how differently Helen treated Frank and himself.

His mind was immediately leaping to the worst plans-Helen would be all by herself once Leino arrested and killed Frank anyway!

After that, he would have a million ways to force her to submit, and he would watch her go down on her knees, begging for mercy!

Huub licked his lips at the thought, while a fire blazed in his loins-he could not wait to turn that fantasy into reality!

"Just do it, Godfather!" Huub urged Leino right then. "Just look at how insolent Frank is- you're already being lenient, but he's being so persistent-

He stopped, because he looked up to see Leino staring blankly straight ahead.

Huub was confused and looked where Leino was looking to see that a procession of cars had just arrived... and the first car was really the mayor's car!

Screech!

The cars stopped near the crowd, and a stoic, bespectacled middle-aged man alighted.

He had a mole on his forehead, but his visage was stem and there was an indescribable edge to his presence.

It was clear that he was of noble roots and was also from the military.Exclusive © content by

Leino clearly did not expect the middle-aged man to show up, though he was even more flustered by the elderly man who came with Nux.

He was clearly older than Leino, and while he had a kindly visage, wearing a black coat and a long white scarf, there was an underlying coldness in his eyes.

Somehow, he was looking at the crowd as if they were corpses, and anyone who looked into his eyes would feel genuine terror.

"Governor Quill.."

Leino was himself trembling from head to toe when he saw the old man and looked like he could drop to his knees the next instant.

Hehe...

Even as the old man smiled and looked around, no one would believe for a moment that he was affable. After all, within his milky gaze was murderous intent and the most primal murderous intent at that.

This way he looked at everyone as if they were corpses showed that he must have survived countless bloodbaths.

He did not turn toward Leino even after looking around and instead appeared fixated on Frank.

You must be Frank Lawrence?" he asked, as a man-in-black helped him make his way toward Frank.

Frank could certainly feel the old man's strength-despite being advanced in years and looking like he could not walk on his own, Frank knew very well that he was no ordinary man.

In fact, he could well be a genuine Transcendent-ranked individual!

Nonetheless, he bowed his head respectfully despite his shock

He only made sure to call Hans Schnee before coming here and was surprised Hans would bring in a Transcendent ranked individual.

It was outrageous!

That was when the elderly man called Govenor Quill reached out to pat Frank's head. "Hehe ..I'm surprised you're unafraid of me. Not bad, not bad..."

To anyone watching, it would appear to be a perfectly normal gesture of intimacy between family.

However, even as Frank felt the hand, he felt like his very being was being exposed.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1788

It was true what they said, that the strange and powerful existed and were hidden in every comer of Draconia!

Even as Frank's hair stood on end, old Govemor Quill stopped keeping Frank on his toes." Hehe... I've been watching you for a long time, though I've only managed to make time now to come over for a look

"And I must say.. not bad. You really make me proud, though one expects nothing less from that little shit's son-pardon my language."

Covernor Quill chuckled, shrugging. "And you're much better than he is.'

"Little shit...?' Frank pursed his lips, getting a hunch just then.

Who else could Governor Quill mean, other than Frank's father, the Lord of the Southern Woods?

And to call his father 'little shit... Frank could scarcely imagine how powerful the old man really was.

"It seems that you really don't know me."

Governor Quill nodded and smiled. "But that's fine, since I've never met you.. I guess I can tell you-I'm your maternal grandfather."

"My matemal grandfather?!"

Frank was left gaping.

What, does that surprise you?"

Governor Quill flashed a kindly smile, but it was such a scary look that it could knock out Frank and everyone else in the room.

The man's very presence was scary, and it was harrowing, even if he was smiling.

"So you're my mother's..

Frank hung his head and murmured to himself, never expecting that he had a grandfather. On top of that, Governor Quill's authority and strength clearly eclipsed Frank's father's.

"How many years have it been since your mother was deceived by that little shit and left with him?"

Governor Quill soon sighed and shook his head even as he reminisced. "Your parents. insisted on keeping you from me, in fear that I'd leave you petrified... Heh, such a shame."

"Hans Schnee told me what happened, so I came to check on you since I was passing by anyway."

Then, he slowly turned toward Huub, who stood at Leino's side, with a small smile. "That's the prick who burned down your house?"

"Argh!!!

Leino was finally overwhelmed when he saw the old man's crimson glare and fell to his knees with an audible thud.

Huub was even worse off, as his eyes rolled up and he collapsed on the floor, passed out from a single glare.

What...?"

Frank blinked as he watched.

He finally understood why he had never heard his own parents mention his maternal grandfather at all.

It turned out that they were worried that Govemar Quill would terrorize him!

The man's glare alone could leave a person petrified.

While that thought had never crossed his mind, Frank certainly understood after meeting his maternal grandfather that the phrase 'looks can kill' was really no exaggeration!

Even if people were said to mellow out with age, that really did not apply to his grandfather- just smiles alone could leave everyone feeling chills down their spines.

At the same time, he realized something else.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1789

Hans Schnee, the commander of the East Coast Base, was never a subordinate to Frank's father, the Lord of the Southern Woods.

Instead, he was a subordinate to Frank's maternal grandfather!

It was actually not surprising that when Frank fled to the east coast from the South Sea, he somehow ended up here by various coincidences and circumstances.

His father was just sending him to his grandfather's side, and there was probably no place in Draconia that was safer than here.

It was therefore not surprising either that the Four Families of Morhen, especially the Soranos, never dared to move against him. As the truth dawned upon Frank, he found some comfort in finding

However, he remained his rebellious self inside, and he would rather his grandfather did not interfere with his affairs too much. Leaving his destiny in the hands of someone else simply made him uncomfortable.

"You're just like your mother-you don't like me meddling in your life, do you? Don't worry, I'm not going to repeat past mistakes." Seemingly reading Frank's mind, Governor Quill turned to grin at Frank, tousling Frank's hair.

Somehow, his grin was creepy even to Frank.

"I'm just here to check on you, and I'm satisfied to see you healthy and lively.

"As for them..."

Governor Quill glanced at Leino and his officers. "I'm having my men investigating them, and the truth will be out soon enough."

"Thank you... Grandfather," Frank said, the word something weird as he did not expect to have a living grandfather.

"Hehe..."

The old man was pleased to hear Frank call him grandfather, though his grin became even more creepy.

"And you're Frank's wife?"

Governor Quill turned his attention toward Helen just then.

She flinched and turned pale but did her best to look up at him and smile.

"Haha... You really don't have to strain yourself."

"No, sir..."

Helen glanced at Frank before

bowing her head. "You're Frank's et

grandfather, so that means you're my grandfather too. I'd never flinch or be distant to an elder." Content

"Hahaha... Good, good."

Governor Quill was really happy to hear such words from Helen.

Laughing, he turned and started toward the luxury sedan he arrived on, murmuring, "Oh, Tiff... You'd definitely be proud of your son if you were alive..."

"Tiff..."

Frank recognized the name-it was his mother's pet name, which his father used.

There was no doubting it now-the man before him was his maternal grandfather. "Grandfather!"

He called out to him, looking straight in Governor Quill's terrifying gaze as he spoke solemnly, "I won't allow my mother's death to go unanswered... Never!"

Governor Quill was taken aback when he saw how serious Frank was, but he soon smiled and shook his head.

"Silly child... there's nothing better than seeing you growing up healthy."

He chuckled. "Anyway, I should stop embarrassing everyone. Just cal Hans Schnee whenever you're free, and visit me at the East Coast Base. This old man isn't going to be

around forever."

As he started to leave with a servant's assistance, Frank went down on one knee with a thud, saluting him in departure.

Phew...

Once Governor Quill got into his car, everyone—including the visitors who had yet to leave from sheer terror-all breathed a collective sigh of relief.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1790

Phew...

Once Governor Quill got into his car, everyone—including the visitors who had yet to leave from sheer terror-all breathed a collective sigh of relief. They really would not dare to breathe too loudly in his presence.

Still, Nux Hamner, the mayor of Bralog who had come with Governor Quill, remained.

He turned toward Leino, who was still on his knees, and snapped, "What do you have to say now?! Will you confess, or shall we wait to sentence you after the investigation?!"

"I..."

Leino was ashen-faced and completely drained, and he was trembling even as he prostrated himself, sighing. "I-I will confess."

"At least you understand your situation."

Nux snorted and turned to bow at Frank reverently. "What should we do with him, sir?"

The onlooking crowd was left in an uproar.

"My god... did the mayor of Bralog just address a younger man as 'sir'?"

"Don't you see? That geezer just now... my god, I really haven't met a man with his...presence!"

"And the young man is his grandson! I guess he's something special too!"

"Oh, dear. Commissioner Himmich has really kicked his foot on a rock this time."

Leino could certainly hear the comments, but he still remained prostrated on the ground, afraid to get up as he waited for Frank's sentence.

Still, Frank was not sure about the law, so he turned to ask Nux, "What's the punishment for conspiring to sell national historical and cultural artifacts?"

Nux thought about it. "The culprit and his family will all be arrested and sent to Blackwater."

Frank nodded. "Then Blackwater it is."

"No... Please, Mr. Lawrence! Mercy!"

Leino kowtowed repeatedly at Frank, fear showing on his face when he heard that he would be sent to Blackwater.

He was the police commissioner of Bralog, but in under ten minutes, he was kneeling and begging Frank.

The onlooking crowd could not be blamed for thinking that this almost felt unreal.

"Hmph. I warned you, but you chose poorly."

Frank was not holding back-after all, Leino would not if their positions were reversed, not to mention that he already had Frank thrown in Blackwater once. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

It was the perfect opportunity for him to have a taste of Blackwater, too.

And as Leino was taken away with a look of despair, only Huub was left.

Still, just a minute later, a pudgy geezer arrived, wheezing as he came running.

His face contorted in fury as soon as he saw Huub passed out and lying unattended on the floor.

"What's going on here?!" he bellowed. "What happened, Huey?!"

Nheless, his heart ached to see his beloved grandson faint in broad daylight. As he rushed up to pick up Huub, a large group of Droitner Inc. bodyguards arrived behind him

swn

However, even though the old man was Paul Droitner, the current CEO

o Inc., his rage merely

merely looked hilarious to Frank and

everyone else.

Still, no one was answering despite Paul bellowing at them several times, though it was more apt to say that no one dared to. Eventually, Frank said neutrally, "He's not dead. He simply passed out from shock."

Paul recognized Frank right away, his surprise turning to rage. "You're Frank Lawrence! How dare you hurt my Huey! You've really done it now!"

"It's you?!"
