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 accepted 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

“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. The law 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 become? What made you like this?”
The captain sighed. He ordered without any explanation, “Lower her weapon.”
Two of his subordinates immediately attempted to get her pistol.

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 into laughter. He looked at Wilbur and Elsa arrogantly and taunted, “So, what can
you two do now?”
Elsa glared 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.”
Kenji laughed 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
heard coming from
