Semua Bab The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Bab 1781 - Bab 1790

While this was just Huub's personal squabble against Frank earlier, things were now fundamentally different now that Frank had threatened the police commissioner 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 police commissioner of Bralog…It was a slip of the tongue, to put it mildly, and a deliberate violation of the law, 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 the law?! Arrest that insolent pr

"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!""Yes!"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.That was simply amazing!"Hmph."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."You, on the other hand, have destroyed this state-sponsored exhibition and even attempted murd

Helen completely ignored Huub's fawning smile, however, and kept her eyes on Leino as she said solemnly, "You must be Leino Himmich, the police commissioner of Bralog. Madam Yimmel has told me about you."However, this man is my husband," she added, gesturing at Frank just then. "So may I ask you to do me a favor and look the other way if he has disrespected you?""Do you a favor?"Leino frowned and asked coolly, "And who are you?""Helen Lane, board chairwoman of Zamri's Lanecorp.""Helen Lane…"Leino searched his mind, but he had never heard of Helen, so she would definitely not be anyone important. However, it stunned Leino that Yora stood behind that young woman—did that mean that the Yimmels were vassals to Lanecorp, even though Leino had never heard of them?!After some thought, Leino stroked his beard and said, "Yes, I can look the other way, but the property damage he has caused…"He looked pointed at the mostly demolished exhibition hall, his meaning obvious."Not a

It was true what they said, that the strange and powerful existed and were hidden in every corner of Draconia!Even as Frank's hair stood on end, old Governor Quill stopped keeping Frank on his toes. "Hehe… I've been watching you for a long time, though I've only managed to make time now to come over for a look."And I must say… not bad. You really make me proud, though one expects nothing less from that little shit's son—pardon my language."Governor Quill chuckled, shrugging. "And you're much better than he is.""Little shit…?" Frank pursed his lips, getting a hunch just then.Who else could Governor Quill mean, other than Frank's father, the Lord of the Southern Woods?And to call his father 'little shit'… Frank could scarcely imagine how powerful the old man really was."It seems that you really don't know me."Governor Quill nodded and smiled. "But that's fine, since I've never met you… I guess I can tell you—I'm your maternal grandfather.""My maternal grandfather?!"Fr

Phew…Once Governor Quill got into his car, everyone—including the visitors who had yet to leave from sheer terror—all breathed a collective sigh of relief.They really would not dare to breathe too loudly in his presence.Still, Nux Hamner, the mayor of Bralog who had come with Governor Quill, remained.He turned toward Leino, who was still on his knees, and snapped, "What do you have to say now?! Will you confess, or shall we wait to sentence you after the investigation?!""I…"Leino was ashen-faced and completely drained, and he was trembling even as he prostrated himself, sighing. "I-I will confess.""At least you understand your situation."Nux snorted and turned to bow at Frank reverently. "What should we do with him, sir?"The onlooking crowd was left in an uproar."My god… did the mayor of Bralog just address a younger man as 'sir'?""Don't you see? That geezer just now… my god, I really haven't met a man with his…presence!""And the young man is his grandson! I gue
