Chapter 1782


    ?


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


    It was a slip of the tongue, to put it mildly, and a deliberate vition of thew, 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 thew?! 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.


    Frankughed coolly in turn. "Hah! So, the policemissioner 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 thements 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 aplished martial artist! Don''t give him a chance, or he''ll slip away and it''d be toote!"


    "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 exin 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!"  This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    "Good job, Commissioner Himmich!"


    "That''s ourmissioner! His integrity is above the rest!"


    His words were fair and just, and everyone was at once approving, even apuding.


    Leino smiled subtly in turn at everyone''s ttery, 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. Content


    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.
