The next day, Fangzheng and Krose sent the attackers to the guards for investigation. But when they came out, Krose was so angry that her face turned pale.
"Jane, you're shameless!!"
It was no wonder that Krose was so angry. Although the three men in black were taken down by them, they refused to say a word. Even when they were sent to the guards, they insisted that they were on a secret mission and that they just got the wrong target. As for what mission they were on, the guards had no right to ask.
Not only that, but after that, the intelligence department even sent someone over to take the three men away, saying that it was an internal investigation!
The guards could do nothing about it. Just as General Morgan said, although the intelligence department belonged to the military in name, it was in fact an independent unit like the royal guards, so the guards had no right to detain them.
"After all, there's nothing we can do about it."
Fangzheng shrugged.
"That's the system. Otherwise, you could've just said, 'I'm the princess, arrest those people and behead them!'"
"How could I do such a thing?"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Krose sighed helplessly. But soon, she clenched her fists.
"I just can't stand how they can be forgiven so easily for what they did. If they succeeded, my teacher would be killed! But these people want to get away with just a 'mistake'? "
"Alright, it's not over yet."
Seeing Fey walking towards him, Fangzheng smiled and patted Krose on the shoulder.
"Did you bring the thing?"
"Yes, Sister Ennaia sent it."
As she spoke, Fei handed over a folder. Following that, Fangzheng took the folder and opened it. He took a look and narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, as expected."
"What's wrong? Mr. Fangzheng? "
"Take a look."
Fangzheng put the file in Krose's hand. The latter was slightly taken aback, but she still took the file.
"This is?"
"A year ago, Mayor Diamond went to the Republic to speculate and lost a huge sum of money.... Tsk tsk tsk, a foreigner going to the Republic to speculate, it would be a miracle if he had a good ending."
Harold was a good example. In the end, he lost his own daughter.
"So many losses and debts …"
Looking at the data in her hands, Krose's expression was solemn and solemn.
"130 million Mira?!"
"It's not a small amount to him."
For Fangzheng, this was just a drop in the bucket. After all, monopolizing was more profitable than robbing.
"Alright, Krose, let's not bother about those small fries. They're just hired thugs. If we really want to solve this problem once and for all, we still have to dig out the root of the problem. If you want the orphanage to never be threatened again, I have an idea, but I need your help. "
"My assistance?"
"That's right."
In response to Krose's question, Fangzheng chuckled.
"In fact, the information we have so far is all inference. If there's no evidence, the guards can't arrest Mayor Diamond, right?"
"Yes … That's right."
"That's why, I have an idea …"
While speaking, Fangzheng moved closer to Krose's ear and whispered something. Krose was taken aback.
"But, but … I …"
"As a princess, you should have this little bit of authority, right?"
"That's right, but … but … .this isn't right, isn't it?"
"Is it? If things really develop according to what I said, then isn't it just right? On the other hand, if he doesn't do this, you don't have to worry, right? "
"That's true …."
In response to Fangzheng's question, Krose was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, Mr. Fangzheng, I'll try."
That afternoon, Fangzheng, Fay, and Krose arrived at Louan and went to Mayor Diamond's official residence. After that, they met up with Mayor Dymon in the reception room.
"I didn't expect Mr. Fangzheng to come to my place. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Diamond still had a gentle look on his face. Just by looking at his appearance, it was impossible to tell that he was a man who would do such a thing.
"I just have some investment problems in Louan that I want to talk to Mayor Diamond about. But then again …."
While speaking, Fangzheng, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the magnificent decorations around him.
"Your house looks really nice. It should be worth at least 100 million Mira, right?"
"Of course not."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Diamond's cheeks twitched. He hurriedly replied with a hollow smile.
"This is just a family property passed down from my ancestors. It can't be compared to Mr. Fangzheng's Starlight Technology."
"But if you sell this house, it should be enough to make up for your deficit."
As soon as Fangzheng said that, the atmosphere in the reception room suddenly changed. Mayor Diamond's expression also changed slightly.
"What … do you mean?"
"Since Starlight Technology wants to invest, we naturally have to investigate here, and we accidentally discovered something interesting."
Fangzheng leaned back on the sofa with a smile on his face. He crossed his arms and looked at Mayor Diamond, who was staring at him with a gloomy face.
"Mayor Diamond, you went to the Republic to engage in speculative trade a year ago and lost a lot of money, didn't you? You're lucky that you managed to return to Libel alive. How did you make up for such a huge deficit? It's not a good idea to rob Peter to pay Paul. That's why you want to build a high-class villa area as soon as possible. It's a pity that there's a noisy orphanage nearby. Well, that's understandable. That's obviously not good for the appreciation of housing prices. Maybe people won't buy the orphanage when they see it, and if they don't buy the house, you won't be able to earn your money back …. "
"I … I don't understand what you mean."
Mayor Damon was wiping the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief.
"Are you trying to say that I ordered someone to set fire to the orphanage? The person who killed it? "
"Oh?"
Upon hearing that, Fangzheng pricked up his brows.
"I didn't expect you to be so well-informed, Mayor. We just handed over the criminal who tried to attack Ms. Theresa to the police this morning, and you already got the news?"
"… Do you have any evidence?"
"Hmm?"
"If you're just here to slander me, then I won't entertain you. Please leave!"
Mayor Damon stood up as well.
"You don't have any evidence at all. This is just a wild guess!"
"You're right."
Fangzheng also stood up.
"That's why I'm just saying. When I go back, I'll request for an audit of Louann's city budget. A deficit of 100 million Mira … should be easy to find."
"Ugh … Ugh …."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Mayor Diamond's face turned even paler. At that moment, Krose stared at him and asked.
"Mr. Mayor, I'd like to ask why you didn't repay the debt with your own assets? 100 million Mira is indeed a huge number, but with the financial resources of the Diamond family, I think it's still possible to repay it. Just like what Mr. Fangzheng said, as long as you sell this house, you can repay the debt. But why did you burn down the orphanage? That place has all of our memories … "
"Shut up!!"
At that moment, Mayor Dymon who was burning with rage couldn't hold it in anymore, he bellowed and interrupted Krose's words.
"This house has been passed down from generation to generation by my ancestors. It's the pride of the Diamond family! How can that shabby little house be compared to this?! "
Hearing this, Krose lowered her head.
"After all, you only care about yourself. You care about yourself as the mayor of Louann and the Diamond family. You don't care about what others think. What a … pitiful person."
"Hmph … Hmph hmph hmph …"
Mayor Damon sneered. He stood up and walked to the wall.
"Since it's come to this, I don't care about the consequences anymore. I won't let you tell anyone about this!"
As he spoke, Mayor Diamond reached out his hand and pressed on the wall. Soon, the wall opened, and two tall magical beasts emerged from it.
Seeing this, Krose's expression changed greatly.
"Unbelievable, you actually raised magical beasts …"
"As long as I kill all of you, no one will know the truth! Go, eat them! It's time to eat!! "
"Roar —!!!"
Following Mayor Diamond's order, the two huge magical beasts leaped up and pounced on Fangzheng and the others.
Facing the two magical beasts with their bloody mouths wide open, Fangzheng just stood there. He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
"Stop."
"— — — —!!"
In the next moment, Mayor Diamond was shocked to see that his two ferocious magical beasts had stopped abruptly. They stood there obediently, not moving an inch.
"Sit down."
"Awoo."
"Turn around."
"Awoo, awoo."
"Go, stay in the corner."
With Fangzheng's command, the two demonic beasts immediately clamped their tails and obediently ran to the corner of the wall.
"What, what did you do?"
Upon seeing this, Mayor Diamond was dumbfounded. As for Fangzheng, he chuckled.
"Nothing, I just know a little about the art of taming beasts."
Bullsh * t! Only a ghost would believe that!!
Looking at the two magical beasts that had completely lost their domineering aura and were even more obedient than guard dogs, Mayor Diamond's face turned ashen.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to use my trump card!"
As he spoke, Mayor Diamond took out a walking stick from his pocket.
"Time, stop!!!"
Following Mayor Dymon's voice, time stopped at the next moment.
"Body, body can't move?"
Fye revealed a shocked expression, while Krose's expression changed drastically.
"How could this be? Could this be the power of an ancient artifact? "
"Hehehe, that's right, this is an ancient artifact passed down from generation to generation in the Diamond family!"
As he sneered coldly, Mayor Diamond took out a gun from his pocket.
"I didn't expect you to force me to use my king …"
However, Mayor Diamond did not finish his sentence because he was surprised to see Fangzheng straightening his clothes. He stared at him with interest.
"That's it? That's it? "
"You, why can you move? Why? "
"Why? The reason is simple."
Fangzheng said as he raised his right hand.
"Why don't you take a guess?"
As he spoke.
Fangzheng snapped his fingers again.
At the next moment, the power that bound time instantly dissipated and started to reverse. Then, the cane in Mayor Diamond's hand exploded with a dazzling light, followed by a loud explosion.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
Mayor Diamond, who was sent flying by the explosion, slammed into the wall. He dropped the gun in his hand and rolled on the ground while hugging his left arm. At the same time, hurried footsteps were heard from the outside. A few moments later, the door of the reception room opened with a loud bang. A group of fully-armed soldiers rushed into the room.
"You, you are …?"
Mayor Diamond was dumbfounded when he saw the group of unfamiliar soldiers. At the same time, a heroic-looking woman in a military uniform walked up to him.
"We are the royal guards. Mayor Diamond, you have been arrested on the spot for attempting to attack and kill Her Highness the Princess!"
"What? Her Highness the Princess? "
Hearing the woman's words, Mayor Diamond was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at Krose who was standing not far away and opened his mouth. Then, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
