It was a slip of the tongue, to put it mildly, and a deliberate violation of the law, to put it in more serious terms.
And to no surprise, the old man glowered at Frank's retort and growled, "I don't know where you're from brat, but you're here in Bralog! This is my jurisdiction, and not only have you vandalized this state-sponsored exhibition, but you've also attempted to murder my godson and threatened me! "Don't you think that I, Leino Himmich, would look weak if I let you go and neglect to enforce the law?! Arrest that insolent prick right now!" "Yes, sir!"

This was exactly what he wanted to take down Franket righteously at that, so that the mob would be swayed to his side, further beautifying his resumeer belongs to en.kikistories Beside him, however, Huub was scowling and cursing Leino a million times over inwardly.
After all, he knew what Leino was up to, but he could not do anything now because he still had to rely on Leino.
