Hence, Frank strode to the center amid everyone's confusion.
"You must be Paul Droitner, the current CEO of Droitner Inc," he said, watching Paul impassively. "Leino Himmich has already confessed to his shady dealings with your company, including smuggling and sale of historical artifacts. He was taken away, and Droitner Inc. will soon be put on ice as well. So you should give up on wishful thinking-confess now, so that you can be afforded leniency."
"What..."
Paul was left stunned-why would his grandson not tell him if Leino was taken away?!
"Don't fall for his lies, Grandpa!" Huub cried anxiously when he saw that Frank was exposing him and urged, "That man is lying to you! He's trying to frame us into a fake confession! Don't fall for his lies!"
"Paul Droitner!"
Nux bellowed furiously as well, "Leino Himmich has already surrendered. Confess now, and you might be afforded leniency, or you'll have no chance when Leino accuses you!"
At the same time, Huub was urging, "Grandpa! You have to believe me!"
Paul was certainly caught in a dilemma, with Nux and Frank on one hand, and his grandson on the other.
Eventually, he sneaked out his phone and called Leino's number, only to be told that his phone was turned off.
It left Paul frustrated-why did Leino have to turn off his phone now of all times?
Could Nux and Frank have been telling the truth?
And yet...
Paul glanced at his grandson.
He believed the child-and why would he lie even if Leino was really arrested?
Bracing himself at the thought, he bellowed, "Everyone! Do not listen to Frank Lawrence's lies. Go and seize that insolent brat!"Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
At his order, every Droitner Inc. bodyguard charged toward Frank.
Naturally, they kept their distance from Nux, since Nux was still mayor of Bralog. Not even Leino could save them if they attacked him. "How dare you, Paul!"
Nux was incensed to see the
Droitner Inc. bodyguards attacking. "Do you know what you're doing?! This is a deliberate obstruction of justice and a violation of the country's laws!"
"I do know that damn well!" Paul growled through his teeth, going all out just then. "I want the person who hurt my grandson arrested! This is none of your business, so back off!"
"Fine!"
Swr
Nux laughed despite himself and turned toward Frank. "Mr. Lawrence, we should leave. They have the numbers for now..." "Urgh..."
However, Frank was merely sighing when he saw that Paul was really going to fight.
"Frank!"
Peter came up to him just then, pointing at everyone from Lanecorp.
Helen had brought them here along with the Yimmels.
While they did not have the advantage in numbers, they knew for a fact that Droitner Inc. were just trying to stave off the inevitable.
Morale was on their side-in fact, Peter and the others were just waiting for Frank's orders.
If they backed down now, they might
still be able to take down Droitner
Inc. and punish Paul for his crimes, but Huub would most likely escape.
And Frank had traveled miles here to Bralog for his revenge. Why would he back down and allow his enemy to live? Chuckling coolly, he waved and bellowed, "Charge!!!"
"Yeah!!!"
At Frank's orders, the Lanes and the Yimmels all combined, whipping out their weapons as they dashed forward.
