NovelEnglishChapter 78 Elle!
As as the press conference was done, James stepped out with his bodyguards hovering around him. Immediately the reporters
and the press attacked him.
'What do you have to say, Mr governor? Are the allegations true?" A lady asked and James smiled.
"If it was so true, I would have been arrested by now but as you can see, I'm walking free.." He replied.
"And you know we are in the days whereby Technology rules the world. Someone must have framed me up. I hope you all
understand that.."
"But what about the video scandal the other time?' Another reporter asked.
James sighed again and then smiled sadly.
"I don't know why they are after me. They want to tarnish my reputation, I'm sure you all know the great things I've done for this
state ever since I became governor. Did you really think I will go as far and stoop so low just to gain power, I believe every one
has their time to serve and I think my time is up. Let another faithful person take over from me. I will gladly support the person
and I will make sure that this election is conducted, free and fair.." He said and the reporters nodded, satisfied with the answers.
"So all in all, someone is framing you up for the crimes you never committed?"
"Yeah, that's right. It's very obvious.." James answered.
"And who is your suspect, Governor?" Another reporter asked and James smirked.
"Mayor Langford.." He announced and everyone gasped.
"But isn't the mayor kidnapped? He was kidnapped two months ago so how's he your suspect?"
"I know I might sound absurd but that's the truth. I believe Mayor Langford was not kidnapped. He only went into hiding to
deceive you all and gain the sympathy of the people, so when he is found, he won't have a hard time winning the elections.
That's his strategy, I presume.." He said and everyone gasped again.
"How sure are you governor?" Another said and James smirked inwardly.
His plan was sure working but then the bigger plan is yet to come.
Langford so it's hurting me right now, deep within but I have to say the truth.." He paused and wiped off the fake tear that came
rolling from his right eye.
"Mayor Langford was really interested in being the governor. He wanted to run for governorship but when he heard that I'm also
running for the same office, he became scared and he confronted me. He asked me to withdraw from the elections since I
akrrady had my time as a governor but I told him that I still want to serve the people till my last breath and that brought the
argument. He even swore to sabotage me and the very next day, he went missing. So as you can see everything correlates with
each other. Despite the Police's efforts, our darling Mayor is yet to be found. He's hiding waiting for the right time to come out.."
James said and smiled and the reporters nodded.
"Thank you for your time everyone, I'm glad I had a chance to voice out my side of the story and I hope the people see what is
right and wrong. If you still want to cast your votes for me, no probs.. "
"And if you don't want to, it's fine. Anyway, I'm glad I still managed to prove myself innocent.."
Just as he was talking, he noticed a red light on a reporter's forehead. He smirked inwardly.
"Let the game begin.."
His eyes widened and he immediately pushed her off. She fell to the ground and a gun shot was heard. Everyone scampered for
safety while James groaned and held his blessing arm. As he was about to go down, his bodyguards caught him.
"Governor! Governor!"
James smirked.
"This is enough to gain the sympathy of the people, I'm surom77e they will all start praising me again.." He thought.

Elle drove throu gh the lonely streets. She was on her way to see Langford incase he still had something to say. She could
remember that he wanted to say something the other day but he couldn't. He has confessed every other thing aside that and she
would make sure she gets it out of him today..
She furrowed her brows when she noticed a black van was following her.
"What's that?" She mumbled and increased her speed. The van also increased its speed and before she knew it, they started
"Gosh! Damn it!" She said and bowed slightly. Her hands went to the rear and her brought out her bbbnpistol. She looked
outside a bit and then started shooting also. She immediately docked when another bullet was shot but she couldn't control it any
longer annd the van swerved and came in front of her car. She had to quickly stop her car from crashing into theirs.
The van's door opened and six masked men came out. She groaned and hit the sterling.
"These damn guys are going to waste my time.." She thought.
"Freeze.." One of them said and she removed her hands from the sterling then raised it up in the air.
He opened the door and ordered her to come out but Elle was not scared.
"Who sent you?" She asked and he smirked.
"Comtinue talking and I will blow your head up!" The first one said.
"Fine, I'm sorry. I won't ask again but maybe I should do this..." She says and immediately kicked the gun out of his hand. She
immediately grabbed him by the neck and brought out her gun from the trouser pocket. The others were shocked also. They
were pointing their guns to her and she was pointing it to the head of their leader.
"Try and pull the trigger and I won't hesitate to blow up your leader's head and feed it to the dogs.." She said and then shot his
leg.
He groaned in pain but his minions couldn't do anything so they didn't want to lose their leader.
"Step back. Don't shoot. Drop your guns.." Their leader said in pain and they did so. He tried to hit her using his elbow but she
dodged it and immediately pushed him to the ground and then stepped on his wound.
He yelled madly in pain.
"Now, I want to ask this simple question? Who sent you?" She asked.
"It's no one.." The leader answered and she pressed his leg more harder. He groaned again.
"It's ma'am Giselle.." He blurted out and she smirked.
"Never knew she hates me to this extent.." She said and then removed her leg from him.
"Tell her what you encountered.." She said and made to leave but then she turned and immediately a gun shot hit her chest. She
groaned and held it but then smirked.
"I'm wearing a very good bulletproof vest.." She said and then she brought her gun and then shot three of them dead.
The other three were shocked. She walked towards the two that were standing close to each other and slammed their heads
madly against each other and they fell down unconscious.
Elle turned back to the leader who was still groaning in pains. He was undoubtedly shocked. She was damn good.
"Tell your boss what you just saw.." She winked at him and walked out.
