Chapter 27: 27- The power of wealth

"Ma'am, the commissioner has arrived" Rushing over to Lin Wanruo, a police officer informed her in a concerned tone about the approaching car of the Commissioner, who held the position of head of the police department in the Camphrian city.

'Damn it', As Lin Wanruo watched Amelia Crimwell's car drive away following the arrest of Damien Raphael, she learned about the arrival of the Commissioner. Considering it a high priority, she headed towards the approaching vehicle.

'That bastard, How dare he?!', While moving towards the higher-ups, Lin Wanruo felt frustrated and annoyed by Damien's behavior. He dared to humiliate her and act as if he were the victim, portraying her as some evil villain persecuting him and even trying to link herself with him in a scandal.

Her annoyance grew from the constant camera flashes that she could still see, giving the impression that reporters and the press had already assumed she was attempting to stir up a scandal and exploit the only heir of Raphael Groups.

'I will definitely wipe that pride off your face, Damien Raphael' she declared, her gaze sharp with killing intent as she approached the three police cars. She stood there with her hands folded behind her back, in a stance of ease.

"WHERE IS THAT IDIOT?!" The voice echoing through the place made her eyes widen, causing her heart to skip a beat when she saw a large man step out of the car and scan the area before landing his furious gaze on her.

'Did he call me an idiot?' Lin Wanruo felt confused but let it slide as a misunderstanding caused by the lack of facts, prompting her to straighten herself firmly and raise her head high.

"Did you know what you did?!" Upon finally catching sight of the woman who had foolishly laid her hands on none other than the Heir of Raphael group, the chief of Police broke out in a sweat. He approached her with the intent to slap her, but upon noticing the camera and remembering her family, he stopped himself with only harsh words.

"Huh? I don't understand." Lin Wanruo was taken aback as the chief, who always praised her when she caught a criminal, approached her and shouted at her in front of all the press and reporters who didn't miss this opportunity to take pictures of the whole event.

"I had told you to only evacuate, and here you are touching innocent citizens to satisfy your old rivalry?!" The man yelled as he pointed his finger at the woman's face with an enraged look. He had seen everything live on his tablet and cursed his luck for sending this incompetent woman of all people.

Naturally, because of the considerable distance between him and the hotel, he had requested assistance from the nearby police station to manage the situation. They were asked to stay on guard to prevent anyone from escaping and to assist in evacuating people.

However, everything changed when he observed this woman taking stupid decisions and getting stupid results.

As the chief of the police department in this area, he was well aware of the usual rivalry and animosity this woman had with Damien Raphael.

There were several instances when he had to apologize to Damien because of this woman's actions, but Damien always appreciated her sense of justice and would laugh it off.

However, today in front of everyone, without any evidence, she accused the respected member and even attempted to flirt with him to establish a connection. As a result, the chief will now have to deal with the backlash from Raphael's groups.

"What? So it wasn't ordered by the head of the department?" One reporter noticed this and called it out, prompting others to also take note and start writing it down for live reporting.

:: We are live from one of the Ramphian hotels, where a mass attack occurred tonight. Reports indicate that a group of assailants infiltrated the hotel's security and opened fire on high-society individuals attending a party hosted by Damien Raphael.

Raphael himself appeared visibly exhausted and was seen bearing wounds on his knuckles, reportedly from his brave efforts in fighting off the attackers. ::

:: According to witnesses, Damien Raphael single-handedly took down all of the assailants, risking his life to protect the guests. ::

:: However, in a surprising turn of events, the police arrived after the situation had calmed down and arrested Damien Raphael under unclear circumstances. As seen in the footage, three-star officer Lin Wanruo was the one who handcuffed Raphael, and afterward, she hugged him, though Raphael appeared noticeably uncomfortable with the gesture. :: Searᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"What utter nonsense!" Lin Wanruo exclaimed, grinding her teeth and glaring at the press and reporters who were fabricating stories without any knowledge. She then turned to the other police officer and shouted, "Arrest all of them for defaming me!"

"Yes?" All the officers looked confused as they turned towards the Chief of Police, who was clenching his teeth with a red face, appearing to be enraged by the stupidity of the woman who seemed clueless in a situation where the odds were not in their favor.

"What are you looking at? Arrest those individuals—BE QUIET! YOU IDIOT!!" Before Lin Wanruo could say another word, the police chief's loud voice interrupted her.

"What? Sir?" Wanruo was taken aback, not understanding how, even after seeing everything from his eyes, she only followed protocol and arrested the prime suspect, who was none other than Damien Raphael, yet these people were against her.

"You brainless girl, can't you see that Damien Raphael saved everyone today?" the Chief of the police department shouted as he poked his finger at Lin Wanruo's forehead two times, causing her to flinch and tremble as she looked at him. She observed the situation and noticed how everyone was looking down on her.

At that moment, she appeared to be looked down upon as the only thought running through her mind was, 'Are these people blind?'
