Chapter 118


    “Yes, sir,” they responded.


    Then, the captain coldly ordered, “Everyone else, move upstairs.”


    “Captain?” Elsa hesitated to leave. She felt like something was off with the captain.


    The captain’s expression darkened right away and asked sternly, “Do you intend to defy orders?”


    Elsa wanted to argue, but Wilbur got up from his seat at that moment and said calmly, “Do as the


    captain says and head upstairs”


    Elsa clenched her jaw and begrudgingly epted IL.


    Kenji smiled very subtly as he slowly rose from his seat.


    They were led to the main hall of the bar. The captain looked at Elsa and said, “Turn in your pistol.”


    “What do you mean?” Elsa was instantly nervous. She gripped her pistol tightly with both hands, but


    the barrel was pointing


    at the floor.


    The captain: frowned and said, “You defied orders, so you’re now suspended.”


    “I admit that I went against protocol, but it’s a fact that there’s evidence of wrongdoing here,” she


    protested.


    The captain frowned and said, “It’s just gambling. Thew enforcement will handle it. Don’t be so


    stubborn. It’ll ruin your future. You’re still young. Don’t you want a promising career?”


    Elsa shook her head because she was very disappointed. “Captain, you used to be my role model, but


    look at you now. What have you be? What made you like this?”


    The captain sighed. He ordered without any exnation, “Lower her weapon.”


    Two of his subordinates immediately attempted to get her pistol.


    However, Elsa pointed her pistol at the captain and shouted, “Freeze! I’ll shoot if anyone moves.”


    They stopped and subconsciously looked toward their captain.


    The captain eximed angrily, “Elsa, I’m trying to protect you! Can’t you understand that?”


    “I don’t!” Elsa shouted back


    Kenji similed at that moment.


    He knew that the ley member of the Lilith n used his influence on the Criminal Investigation


    Department. His safety was ensured. He also believed that Wilbur did not have the audacity to


    challenge the authorities.


    Furthermore, the head of the n was on his way. They would leave, and that would be the end for


    Wilbur.


    If Elsa was lucky enough, she would be demoted as a clerk and lead a subdued life. Otherwise, she


    could lose her job. That way, Kenj could manipte her like a toy in the future.


    The three gamblers were noticeably rxed.


    The captain looked at Elsa, who was furious and frustrated.


    He understood that there was more to the paubling session than met the eye.


    However, he was bound by orders from his higher-ups, and there was nothing he could do.


    He was more experienced than Elsa. He phed his way up through hard work just like her. They both


    lacked powerful connections and had earned their positions solely through their achievements.


    He knew that losing their positions was as simple a


    from those in power.

    The saying ‘those in power can crush others was not a lie.


    He said in a helpless tone, “Elsa, listen to me. There are some matters that we have no control over.”


    Kenji suddenly burst intoughter. He looked at Wilbur and Elsa arrogantly and taunted, “So, what can


    you two do now?”


    Elsa red at the arrogant Kenji and pointed her pistol at him angrily.


    “Go ahead and shoot me. I don’t think you’ll shoot an unarmed person, especially in front of your


    captain,” he taunted.


    Wilbur stepped in to stop her and said, “Calm down.” RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    Kenjiughed smugly and asked, “What’s the matter? Are you chickening out too?”


    Wilber responded to his taunts with a faint smile. Suddenly, loud noises of several belicopters could be


    hearding from


    above the bar.
