Chapter 1785
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. They were all standing behind Helen, clearly showing that she was the only leader there.
"Eh?"
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?!
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..."
