The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2010

"Then use your pea brains and think!"

Frank strode up, bellowing, "If I really did kill the commissioner, why would I return instead of fleeing?

"Why should I bother wasting my breath defending myself against the likes of you? Do you pieces of shit think that you could stop me?! Hell, none of you can stop me even if I wanted to leave now!"

"What…?!"

All the martial artists present were left incensed by Frank's diss, but Frank was right.

Just from his earlier display of strength, Frank had shown that no one here could stop him if he wanted to leave.

"Also!"

Frank then whipped out an exquisitely crafted dagger, flinging it on the floor as he growled coolly, "If I did kill the commissioner, why would I keep the murder weapon instead of hiding it? Why would I leave evidence for your benefit? Or perhaps you think there are murderers who would deliberately reveal the murder weapon?!

"In fact, if I wanted to kill someone, I don't even need a murder weapon. I could just make them disappear if necessary instead of leaving evidence that could be traced back to me!

"What am I, stupid?!"

Every police officer was left speechless by Frank's speech, with even Podrick flushing, unable to muster a retort.

All the martial artists present actually calmed down as well, as they realized from Frank's words that something strange was afoot.

Nonetheless, Podrick snorted coldly. "Hmph! You can argue with pretty words all you want, but there's no question that you were alone in that room where the commissioner was murdered! You're the chief suspect, and you're not escaping punishment!"

"That is why I'm back!"

Frank reared his chin proudly. "I'll find the real murderer on my own and maintain my own innocence!"

"Ahem, ahem…"

"What?!"

"S-Sir, are you saying that he's…"

Everyone was left stunned by Elder Fango's praise for Frank.

"Oh, you weren't aware?"

Elder Fango appeared puzzled, but he soon stroked his beard and chuckled. "Right, I forgot to mention it… the bounty on Frank Lawrence's head is null. However, the gravity of the situation remains, and even the Martial Alliance is left shaken.

"Even with Governor Quill's protection, he's still guilty of assassinating a commissioner in broad daylight. There's no talking his way out of this, even if his life is spared."

Then, turning toward Frank, Elder Fango smiled. "And I have come precisely to oversee his punishment."
