    Hearing how Paul threatened Frank, the remaining exhibition visitors were left raising their brows.


    They naturally knew Paul, as he was the current CEO of Droitner Inc., thepany that sponsored this exhibition.


    And Leino Himmich, who had just been taken away, was Paul''s best friend.


    However, it was obvious that Paul had no idea what had just happened to Leino, which was why he was so pompously threatening Frank.


    If he had known that Frank''s maternal grandfather was Governor Quill, his reaction would have been even more ridiculous than Leino''s.


    Nux Hamner, the mayor of Bralog, could certainly hear Paul. He strode up, snapping, "How dare you, Paul Droitner! Don''t you know who you''re talking to?!"


    "Mr. Hamner?!" Paul frowned.


    He had spotted Nux earlier. However, in his mind, Nux was just the mayor of Bralog.


    That meant Nux did not have authority over the police force, so Paul was not worried since he was friends with Leino.


    He even snorted at Nux. "I don''t know what happened here, but my grandson did not faint for no reason. Someone did this, and you need to get to the bottom of this, or his godfather Leino Himmich will make them pay!"


    Nuxughed despite himself—to think that Paul would still mention Leino now!


    He bellowed right then, "Leino has already surrendered himself and confessed to his shady dealings with yourpany! Droitner Inc. would soon see theireuppance, and you''re still trying to strut here?!"


    Paul flinched from Nux''s outburst, but he immediately presumed that Nux was lying.


    After all, Nux was standing right beside Frank, and he could well havee at Frank''s request.


    "Don''t believe anything you''ve heard, Nux!"


    Paul retorted with righteous indignation. "Droitner Inc. is perfectly innocent! When did we ever have shady dealings with Leino?!


    "On the other hand, that man beside


    you, Frank Lawrence, is a Zamri citizen, but came over to our city and hurt my grandson! If you refuse to arrest him now, let''s see what you have to say when Commissioner Himmich gets here!"


    But even as Paul rambled, he felt something unusual-everyone was watching him like he was stupid, including Nux.


    Even as he wondered what was going on, he knew he must maintain hisposure, let alone admit to his shady dealings with Leino.


    If he did, it would truly be over for Droitner Inc.


    "Grandpa..." Huub rasped as he suddenly stirred.


    "Oh, my boy! What happened?!"


    Paul turned toward him anxiously, growling through his teeth, "I came with everyone when I heard that the exhibition hall was copsing Was it Frank Lawrence?!"


    Huub was obviously stumped, and instead of answering Paul, he stood up and looked around. "Where''s godfather?"


    "Godfather?" Paul did a double take. "I didn''t see Leino around."


    Huub''s eyes widened. "No, he was right here, and-"


    "Leino Himmich has been arrested and dishonorably discharged," Nux barked coldly just then. "The prosecutors will soon be filing a case against Droitner Inc., so surrender now if you know what''s good for you, or you''ll face harsher punishment!"


    "What?!"


    Huub gaped as he suddenly remembered the reason he had passed out that terrifying geezer was ring at him!
