BXBX NOVEL Chapter 135: Enforcers
"Unless what?" the Enforcer asked.
"Unless the manager approves and agrees to pay the penalty fees. Only then can they be taken off the shelves," Levlyn answered.
After the two Enforcers discussed this for a moment, Enforcer Smith said, "In that case, could we please trouble you, Miss Levlyn, to call for your manager?"
Levlyn nodded and called the manager\'s phone. Nicole saw this and laughed out loud, then said, "Haha, the thief\'s done for now! You can only blame your own foolishness, since you dared to go against me! You\'ll go to jail now!"
Even though he wasn\'t able to acquire the serums, just seeing Tyrion caught was enough to make Nicole happy. As such, his expression turned even more arrogant and contemptuous.
"Hmph, we\'ll see! Let\'s see who gets caught in the end!" Tyrion said, not fearing anything.
The commotion had drawn quite a lot of attention from the customers, who had now all gathered around to watch the show. Once they understood what was happening, their eyes were filled with distaste and contempt for Tyrion. In their eyes, Tyrion was just a foolish thief.
…
On the other hand, the mall\'s manager, Briston, was receiving E grade Chemist Groode, when suddenly, his secretary walked in and reported the situation at the mall to him.
"What? Someone pretended to be a Chemist and is selling their stolen goods at our mall?" Briston was furious. "Don\'t let him go! Take his goods off the shelves immediately and hand him over to the enforcer."
"Manager, we\'re just suspecting that he\'s a thief. There is no evidence yet," the secretary named Hailey said awkwardly.
"Aren\'t those four bottles of high quality serums evidence?" Groode suddenly interrupted and said coldly. "Fancy pretending to be a Chemist in front of me, and even daring to sell off high quality stolen serums! Foolish thief! He needs to receive a severe punishment!"
Briston did not expect Groode\'s reaction to be so intense, especially as he was in the midst of negotiating a business collaboration with Groode. It seemed very unprofessional!
"To think that Tronic mall would work together with a thief to sell stolen goods! Mr. Briston, shouldn\'t you explain this matter? Our team needs to reevaluate Tronic mall\'s honor, if this is correct!" Groode said coldly.
Briston\'s expression soured then.
Of all times, this had to happen now?! If Groode were to feel that Tronic mall is a place for thieves to dispose of their stolen goods, he might terminate our collaboration immediately!
"Mr. Groode please don\'t worry, we shall treat this matter seriously," Briston assured him.
"No, I want to see how you handle this matter personally. If it is not satisfactory, we have no choice but to cancel this collaboration," Groode said severely.
In his eyes, a Chemist was a noble occupation, and he would not allow anyone to sully its name, especially a thief, who pretended to be a pharmacist. It was unforgivable!
"Well then, Mr. Groode, please follow me and take a look for yourself," Briston said calmly.
In his heart, he would like nothing more than to rip that damned thief apart. The both of them quickly reached the consignment area at the top of the mall.
Nicole and Levlyn\'s faces immediately changed upon seeing the manager coming over personally. Nicole went up to the pair of men with a polite smile and said, "Mr. Briston, you came personally. You could\'ve settled such a small matter with a phone call."
"Look at what you\'ve done, as you\'ve even startled Mr. Groode," Briston said, as he glared furiously at Nicole.
He knew of the things that Nicole had done over the years, but he had decided to turn a blind eye on these matters, until now. But, since the situation that blew up today, he was sure that Nicole was behind it.
"He\'s the E grade pharmacist, Mr. Groode?" A look of respect and fear flashed across Nicole\'s face, as he looked at Groode, who was standing beside Briston.
Normally, F grade pharmacists were considered to be very important people. E grade pharmacists were even more distinguished than F grades, which is why they are the ones that even the nobles tries hard to please.
But, Nicole smirked gleefully in his heart, as now that even Mr. Groode was here, Tyrion\'s charges would be even worse! The others bowed their heads in reverence and their expressions turned respectful, once they realized that the E grade Chemist Groode had arrived.
Groode nodded towards the crowd and said coldly, "Where is the idiot thief, who dares to pretend to be a pharmacist?"
"Mr. Groode, it\'s him." Enforcer Smith pointed at Tyrion.
Groode\'s gaze turned towards Tyrion and, upon observing his attire, he believed the accusations immediately. Pharmacists were high class people, after all, and would never be so unkempt!
"You\'re the one pretending to be a pharmacist? Do you know that pretending to be a Chemist is a serious crime?" Groode said coldly.
Tyrion was not afraid at all and replied, neither haughtily nor humbly, "Firstly, I am not a thief, as the serums that I\'ve consigned I made myself. Secondly, I did not pretend to be a pharmacist."
He was quick to clarify this, as he knew that pretending to be an acknowledged Chemist was a serious crime that carried a minimum jail time of 10 years! However, Tyrion\'s explanations only sounded like excuses to them.
"You still refuse to admit to your crimes at a time like this?" Nicole said coldly. "You can cultivate serums? Those four bottles of high quality serums are clearly stolen goods…"
Tyrion raised his brow and said, "I created those four bottles of enhanced Atomic Serums, which are two times as potent as normal Atomic Serums. There is no one else in this world who can cultivate anything like that!"
Tyrion then turned to the two Enforcers and said, "I\'d like to ask the two Enforcers if anyone actually reported a loss of enhanced Atomic Serums, anyway?"
