The next day, Fang Zheng and Chloë sent the attacker to the security team for investigation. However, when they came out, Chloë's face turned pale with anger.
"Jane, this is so shameless!!"
It was no wonder that Chloë was so angry. Although the three men in black were captured by them, they refused to say a word. Even when they arrived at the security team, they insisted that they were on a secret mission and had just made a mistake in their target. As for what mission they were carrying out, the security team had no right to ask.
Not only that, after that, the Intelligence Department even sent people over, saying they wanted to conduct an internal investigation, and took the three people away!!
The guards had no way to deal with this. As General Morgan had said before, although the Intelligence Department nominally belonged to the military, it was actually an independent unit like the Royal Guards, and the guards had no power to detain them.
"After all, there's nothing we can do about it."
Fang Zheng shrugged.
"That's the system. Otherwise, you could just say, 'I'm a princess, take those people away and behead them!'"
"How could I do such a thing?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Chloë sighed helplessly, but soon she clenched her fists.
"I just can't stand how their actions can be forgiven so easily. If they succeed, the teacher will be killed! And these people want to get away with it by saying 'it was a mistake'?"
"Well, it's not over yet."
Looking at Fei walking towards him, Fang Zheng smiled and patted Chloë's shoulder.
"Have you got the stuff?"
"Yes, it was sent by Sister Enaya."
As she spoke, Fei handed over a file bag. Fang Zheng then took the file bag, opened it, took a look at it, and then narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, as expected."
"What's wrong, Mr. Fang Zheng?"
"Look."
Fang Zheng casually placed the document in Chloë's hand. The latter was slightly startled and took the document.
"This is?"
"A year ago, Mayor Delmon went to the Republic to speculate and lost a lot of money... Tsk tsk tsk tsk, a foreigner went to the Republic to speculate, there was no way he would have a good ending."
Harold is a lesson for us. He ended up losing his own daughter.
"So many losses and debts..."
Looking at the file data in her hand, Chlos's expression was solemn and serious.
"One hundred and thirty million Mira?!"
“It’s not a small amount of money for him.”
For Founder, this is naturally just a drop in the bucket. After all, exclusive monopoly can make more money than robbing money.
"Okay, Chloë, don't worry about those little shrimps. They are just thugs. If we really want to solve this problem once and for all, we still have to dig from the root. If you want to prevent the orphanage from being threatened again, I do have a way, but I need your help."
"My assistance?"
"That's right."
Facing Chloë's question, Fang Zheng chuckled.
"In fact, the intelligence we have obtained so far is all inference. If there is no evidence, the security team cannot arrest Mayor Delmon, right?"
"Yes... that's right."
"So, I have an idea..."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng leaned close to Chloë's ear and whispered something, and Chloë was stunned.
"But...I..."
"As Her Royal Highness the Princess, you must have this little bit of power."
"Yes, but...but...isn't this the wrong approach?"
"Will it? If things really develop as I said, then this is just right? On the other hand, if he doesn't do this, you don't have to worry, right?"
"That being said..."
In response to Fang Zheng's question, Chlos was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, Mr. Fang Zheng, I'll try."
That afternoon, Fang Zheng, Fei and Chlos came to Luan and went to the mayor's residence in Delmon. Afterwards, they met with Mayor Delmon in the reception room.
"I didn't expect Mr. Fang Zheng to come to my place. What can I do for you?"
At this moment, Delmon still looks gentle. If you just look at his appearance, you can't tell that he is a man who would be so cruel as to do such a thing.
"It's just that I want to talk to Mayor Delmon about some investment issues related to Luan, but then again..."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng, who was sitting on the sofa, looked around at the magnificent decorations.
"Your house looks really nice. It must be worth at least 100 million Mira."
"No, there."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Delmon's cheek twitched and he quickly replied with a dry laugh.
"This is just the family property passed down from my ancestors. It cannot be compared with your Starlight Technology, Mr. Fang Zheng."
"But if you sell this house, it should be able to make up for your deficit."
As soon as Fang Zheng said this, the atmosphere in the entire reception room suddenly changed, and Mayor Delmon's expression also changed slightly.
"What do you mean?"
"Since we at Starlight Technology are going to invest, we naturally have to investigate here, and then we accidentally discovered some interesting things."
Fang Zheng leaned back on the sofa with a smile on his face, his hands folded, looking at Mayor Delmon who was staring at him with a gloomy face.
"Mayor Delmon, you went to the Republic to engage in speculative trade a year ago, and lost a lot of money. It's a pity that you were able to return to Liberl alive. How did you make up for such a huge loss? It's not a good idea to rob Peter to pay Paul, so you hope to build a high-end villa area as soon as possible. But, unfortunately, everything there is good, except that there is a noisy orphanage nearby... Well, it's understandable. This is obviously not good for the appreciation of housing prices. Maybe people will not buy houses when they see the orphanage, and if they don't buy houses, you won't make back your money..."
"I, I don't understand what you mean."
Mayor Delmon was wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
"Are you trying to say that I was the one who ordered someone to set the orphanage on fire? To kill people?"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"I didn't expect you, Mayor, to be so well-informed. We just handed over the criminal who tried to attack Ms. Theresa to the security team this morning. Did you get the news now?"
"…Do you have any evidence?"
"Um?"
"If you just come here to say these slanderous words about me, then I will not receive you, please leave!"
At this point, Mayor Delmon also stood up.
"You have no evidence at all. This is just wild speculation!"
"That's true."
Fang Zheng also stood up.
"So I'm just talking. After I go back, I will request an audit of Luan's city budget expenditures. A deficit of 100 million Mira should be easy to discover."
“Woo… woo…”
Mayor Delmon turned pale at Fang Zheng's words. At this time, Chlos also stared at him and asked.
"Mr. Mayor, I would like to ask why you don't use your own property to repay the debt? One hundred million Mira is indeed a large number, but with the financial resources of the Delmon family, I think it can still be repaid. Just like what Mr. Fang Zheng said, as long as you sell this house, you can pay off the debt. But why did you burn down the orphanage? There are also our memories there..."
"Shut up!!"
At this moment, the furious Mayor Delmon could no longer bear it and interrupted Chlos with a roar.
"This house is the pride of the Delmon family, passed down from generation to generation by my ancestors! How can that shabby little house be confused with this!"
Hearing this, Chloë lowered her head.
"After all, you only care about yourself, about yourself as Mayor Luan and the Delmon Family, and you don't care about what others think. You are such a... pitiful person."
“Hmph…hmph…”
Mayor Delmon also sneered at this moment, then he stood up and walked to the wall.
"Now that it has come to this, I don't care about the consequences. I will never let you tell anyone about this!"
As he spoke, Mayor Delmon reached out and pressed the wall. Soon, the wall opened, and two tall monsters emerged from it.
Seeing this, Chlos's expression changed drastically.
"It's unbelievable that you actually raised magical beasts privately..."
"As long as we kill all of you, no one will know the truth of this matter! Go, eat them! It's time to eat!!"
"roar--!!!"
Following Mayor Delmon's order, two gigantic monsters leaped up and pounced towards Fang Zheng and the others.
Facing the two monsters rushing over with their bloody mouths wide open, Fang Zheng just stood there. Then he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
“Stop.”
“——!!”
The next moment, Mayor Delmon was surprised to see that his two extremely ferocious monsters suddenly stopped and stood there obediently, motionless.
"sit down."
“Ouch.”
"Turn around."
"Ahhh."
"Go, stay in the corner."
Following Fang Zheng's order, the two monsters immediately tucked their tails between their legs and obediently ran to the corner to face the wall.
"You, what did you do?"
Seeing this, Mayor Delmon was stunned, while Fang Zheng laughed.
"Nothing, I just know a little bit about animal taming."
You are kidding! No one would believe it!!
Mayor Delmon's face turned grim as he looked at the two magical beasts that had completely lost their dominance and were more obedient than guard dogs.
"In that case, I'll have to use my trump card!"
As he spoke, Mayor Delmon took out a cane from his bosom.
"Time, stop!!!"
As Mayor Delmon spoke, the next moment, time stopped.
"Body, the body can't move?"
Fei showed a surprised expression, and Chlos's face also changed drastically.
"How could this happen? Is this the power of an ancient relic?"
“Hehehe, that’s right, this is the ancient relic that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Delmon family!”
With a sneer, Mayor Delmon pulled out a guided gun from his arms.
"I never thought you could force me to use the King..."
However, Mayor Delmon did not finish his words, because at this moment he looked at Fang Zheng in surprise as he straightened his clothes and stared at him with interest.
"That's it? That's it?"
"You, why are you able to move? Why?"
"Why? The reason is very simple."
Fang Zheng raised his right hand as he spoke.
"Guess?"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers again.
The next moment, the power that bound time instantly dissipated and began to rotate. Then, the cane in Mayor Delmon's hand suddenly burst into dazzling light, and with a loud "bang", it exploded completely.
“Aaaaaaaaaah!!!”
Mayor Delmon, who was blown away by the explosion, hit the wall directly. He dropped the gun in his hand and rolled over, holding his left hand. At the same time, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and then a moment later, the door of the reception room was opened with a "bang", and then a group of fully armed soldiers rushed in.
“You, you guys are…?”
Mayor Delmon was bewildered as he looked at the group of unfamiliar soldiers in front of him. At the same time, a heroic woman in military uniform came forward.
"We are the Royal Guards, Mayor Delmon. You are under arrest for attempting to attack and kill Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"What? Princess?"
Mayor Delmon was stunned when he heard the woman's words. Then he looked at Chlos who was standing not far away, and his mouth suddenly opened - then Delmon's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
