The Mighty Dragon Warrior

Chapter 41

The officers had already received orders from their superior, so they rejected Mark coldly, “I’m sorry. This is beyond our jurisdiction.”

Mark turned to Zayn and John and cried, “Mr. Fred, Mr. Walton, I’m innocent!”

However, Zayn turned his face away to avoid Mark’s imploring gaze. To Zayn, Mark was just a building manager whom he had met a few times, so he didn’t have to stand up for him at the risk of offending Galaxy Group.

On the other hand, John had no intention of helping Mark. Due to his prestigious status, he waved his hand and said, “Genovia and Avalon are ruled by laws. If you’re indeed innocent, I can guarantee your safety.”

What John actually meant was that there was nothing he could do if Mark was guilty.

Perceiving John’s implicit intention, Mark fell into despair at once. He had been squandering money frivolously in the past few years, so it wasn’t surprising that he was venal.

Struggling to stand up from the floor, Mark turned to shoot a resentful glare at Franklin.

How dare you fire me and even get the officials to catch me?! Hmph! I’ll surely get back at you someday!

Perceiving Mark’s hateful glare, Franklin averted his gaze in discomfort.

Jacob narrowed his eyes as he sensed the tension in the atmosphere.

He turned to look at Franklin and said calmly, “Don’t worry, Dad. Even if he’s eventually released, he won’t be able to harm you.”

Franklin sighed with a tinge of anxiety. “Someone like him can be hard to guard against.”

“We shall let him stay behind bars forever then,” Jacob blurted apathetically with his eyes filled with coldness.

Standing not far away, Mark’s subordinates, who were acting snobbishly a moment ago, were dumbfounded witnessing the scene. What should we do? Even Mr. Hansel is caught, what will happen to us?

Meanwhile, the other staff were glad that they kept their virtue.

When Franklin watched Mark, who had given him a huge blow, being escorted to the police car, he was so delighted that he would have sung out loud if there was no one around.

Noticing the change in his father’s expression, Jacob smiled and asked, “How did you like this show, Dad? If this is not satisfying, I can arrange a few more for you.”

A few more? Franklin was staggered.

After a moment of silence, he wore a hearty smile. “I’ve been aggrieved for so many years. Now, everything’s finally over. One show is more than enough. My only wish now is for you and your sister to be safe, and to see your unborn brother or sister be born smoothly.”

“That’ll happen. I promise.” Jacob nodded at Franklin.

Then, he glanced across the crowd and said to Franklin with a smile, “Dad, it has been six years since you came here. Do you want to go in and take a look?”

Franklin’s eyes lit up at once when he heard the proposal. He nodded excitedly and said, “Sure!”

Seeing Franklin and Jacob walking into the building, Jerry shrugged and caught up with them.

On the other hand, the speculators too quickly swarmed into the building after hesitating for a while. Mark’s subordinates, especially, were one of the fastest who reacted.

Seeing the crowd disappearing into the building in the blink of an eye, John looked toward Zayn with a rueful smile. “Mr. Fred, do you think it’s necessary for us to go in?”

Truth to be told, he was baffled by how the matter was handled today.

Zayn, who was equally dumbfounded, glanced around the surroundings and replied solemnly, “Let’s go, Mr. Walton. Some formalities can’t be avoided. We should at least make known our attitude.”

With that, the two men, who doubtlessly looked like the big bosses, walked into the building.
