The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

"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!"

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.

"Yes!"

That was simply amazing!

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.

"Hmph."

"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, 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."

Frank paused and looked up to smile at Leino 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?"

Leino's 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 Droitner Inc.... Well, we'll see

"Huh?"

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.
