NovelEnglishHuub's cheeks stiffened at the mention of hostages, only remembering them just then.
If he threatened Frank with their safety, Frank would most definitely not try anything against him...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, he flinched when he saw the murderous glare in Frank's eyes, and an almost bestial instinct told him that if he dared to threaten Frank with the hostage, Frank would skin him.
After a moment of hesitation, Huub eventually nodded-the hostages were trivial compared to his life! "Good." Seeing Huub nod, Frank smiled in satisfaction.
Huub was really smart, since Frank was ready to kill him on the spot if he were to threaten him with his hostages, thus avoiding any surprises.
"Now, the third..." Frank grinned. "You will confess your crimes to the Bralog commissioner, including the sale of national treasures and artifacts, as well as your dealings with foreign groups!" "What...?!" Huub looked up right then.
Forget the fact that the Bralog commissioner was his grandfather's sworn brother-would he even survive if he confessed to him about the shady dealings Droitner Inc. was up to? Not only was inheriting the company a pipe dream, but if word of what they did spread beyond Bralog, Droitner Inc. would fall, and his grandfather would have his head for that! Frank leaned his face closer just then, smiling as he asked, "What, are you afraid that Droitner Inc. would kill you for your treachery?" "I-Isn't that obvious?!" Huub growled through gritted teeth, his cheeks clenching.
He was really furious this time-no one had ever threatened him like this before! And since he was going to die anyway, he did not mind letting Frank kill him.

"Go on, Frank Lawrence! Do it!" he cried, suddenly determined. "Killif you can! If you do, my grandfather will cafter you! And don't even think you can get your hostages back!

So that was why Frank ended up in Blackwater prison before-Huub bad very close ties with the Bralog's commissioner, who were obviously supporting Droitner Inc. behind the scenes!

Otherwise, those historical artifacts would not have been able to leave the border so easily.
While Frank narrowed his eyes in thought, an elderly but resounding bellow thundered from the wreckage outside the exhibition hall.
"What's going on here?! What on earth happened?!" Frank looked beyond the wreckage when he heard the voice and found a bearded old man in a purple coat standing by the curb.
His eyes were flashing wrathfully, while a convoy of over a dozen cars had stopped behind him, with fully-armed police officers flanking him.
