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 me!" 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
ver
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
swnevernet
different now that Frank had
threatened Commissioner Himmich.
