Novel Drama Chapter 5558
Chapter 5558 "I don't know what sort of conflict the country has, neither do I want to know." Ayaka Ueda stepped forward. "But you’ll have to pay the price for slandering the Islanders! "After all, it’s a huge crime just to spout nonsense like that!” Blaine John regained his composure before showing a profound look with crossed arms. "Everyone of the Hermit Families! All of Golden Sands knows you've had bad relations with the John family. "We’ve been enemies for the longest time now. “It’s only normal for US to fight for our benefits! "But it’s incredibly inappropriate for you to slander me during such an important event! "After all, the royal court has designated my father as the first -in-command! “How dare you disrespect the John family like this?! novelbin
“If you can't show any proof... “Slandering a government’s higher-up should be enough for you people to be sent behind bars for a longtime! "There’s no need to become someone else's tool just because of your recklessness!” Blaine smiled gently, calming the crowd while showing his methods and attitude. Then again, nobody was stupid there. Everyone knew that the Hermit Families would have some sort of proof to jump out like this. Could the John family hold off against all the accusations without fail? Kairi Patel smiled. "I think what you're saying... “Doesn’t even matter in the first place. “Since some people reported your family for conspiring with the enemy... "Then it's only natural that Longmen investigates the situation thoroughly!
"As a part of the top ten families, as government officials... "The most important thing you should be doing right now is cooperating with the investigation and proving your innocence!” “How dare you, Kairi?!” exclaimed Master Mograine. “You want Longmen to snoop into our business and interrogate everyone at such a crucial moment?!” "I don't see why not?” Kairi looked calm. “Capri suspected me of bringing poisoned alcohol when I was just outside! "I let her search my car anyway for the sake of my innocence! "I’m the government’s second-in-command. Mr. Damon's the first-in-command! “Since both our positions are similar, why not let him go through the same thing for the sake of the government's reputation? "Mr. Damon's been running his mouth, yet he wouldn't allow anyone to prove his innocence... "Perhaps he actually is guilty of something after all?” The guests instinctively nodded after hearing Kairi’s reasonings. 'That’s right! Even Kairi was searched just now! ‘Since the John family’s being accused of such a thing, it’s only standard procedure for Longmen to investigate them! 'After all, government officials would always have to go by the law! 'If the first-in-command didn't need to prove his own innocence... 'Then, what’s the point of the government’s credibility? Who would abide by the law in the future?’ Kairi’s calm words instantly shut down Master Mograine and Blaine. Kairi was right. Proving their own innocence was the best choice, after all.
