Chapter 641 - Seventh Realm? (1/2)
Suddenly, Xiao Luo had a stern look on his face, and his dark, smoldering eyes looked dangerous. Suddenly, Xiao Luo had a stern look on his face, and his dark, smoldering eyes looked dangerous.
At that moment, the inspector experienced a chill run through her body, and she felt like a desperate prey that was being pursued by a predator. She could feel the hair on her body stand on ends and sensed that she was close to danger. She instinctively stepped back, staring at Xiao Luo in a confused and fearful state. “What happened?”
A white man in a blue uniform with an employee name tag hanging from a lanyard around his neck had approached them at that point. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. He walked toward the security checkpoint and glanced at the inspector before looking at Xiao Luo. Then, he smiled and said, “Sir, could you tell me what happened? I am in charge of this place, and my name is Davis.”
“Your security inspector insulted us, that’s what happened!”
An angry man yelled loudly. His wife immediately held him back. She told him not to stir things up.
Davis glanced at that man and then questioned the inspector with a straight face. “Is that true?” he asked.
“No.”
The inspector pointed at Xiao Luo and said, “This man cut the queue. I made him go to the back of the line to queue again, but he refused to obey my order. Hence, this commotion, chief.”
When everyone standing around the security checkpoint heard that, it surprised them. It was unbelievable that the woman could openly lie to her superior without batting an eyelid. If they had not witnessed what had happened, they would have believed what she had said.
The man who tried to stand up for Xiao Luo was still being held back by his wife. Although he was furious, he swallowed his anger in silence and did not pursue the argument.
“I see, so that’s the case. Sir, I am afraid you have to return to the back of the line, please. We don’t condone people cutting queue here. I urge you to refrain from doing so again,” Davis told Xiao Luo with a smiling face.
What the heck, what a biased chief!
Since the chief of that customs checkpoint was acting unfairly, that meant that Xiao Luo was unlucky. He had to suck it up then!
Everyone who was waiting for clearance at the customs checkpoint frowned and expressed their sympathy for Xiao Luo. They thought that an impartial person-in-charge had finally shown up, but unfortunately, he was also a biased and unfriendly citizen of the Mei Nation.
The inspector smirked and looked at Xiao Luo like a witch.
Xiao Luo had a mirthless smile as he faced the chief of the customs. He said, “As the person-in-charge for this customs checkpoint, your words and action represent your country’s image. You did not even bother to investigate this matter, yet you concluded that I had cut the queue based on her word alone. So, is this how you people do things here? You make a judgment with no concrete evidence?”
“Sir, I believe my colleague would not make things difficult for you without good reason. I have to say that it is not unusual for you people to ignore the rules to get your way,” Davis replied. He had put on a smile on his face throughout the conversation and spoke to Xiao Luo politely. However, his tone was very aggressive.
Xiao Luo pointed at the closed-circuit television above them and said, “This place is under surveillance. There would be no dispute once you see what has happened if you were to watch the footage of the recorded video.”
Davis shook his head and said, “There’s no such need. We, the people of the Mei Nation, are civilized and hold ourselves to a higher standard. It is especially true for anyone who works at this customs checkpoint. Since my colleague has pointed out that you have cut the queue, you must have done so. It’s redundant to check the CCTV. Sir, please stop your nonsense and get to the back of the line. If you insist on prolonging this commotion, I may have you arrested by the law enforcers.”
