Russell shouted angrily, "Stop right there!"
James stopped in his tracks and folded his arms, looking shameless and arrogant.
He sneered, "No problem. I can stand here all day. But do you have any evidence, mayor? If not, I'm going to report you for trying to frame me!"
Russell was seething with rage.
Before he could throw a fit, Nathan's lips curled up in a mysterious smile, and he glanced at Colin and Elite, who were standing nearby among the crowd.
With a wide grin, Nathan said to Russell, "Mayor, please don't be angry. Maybe someone will send us the vice president's criminal evidence in a few minutes!"
Russell was stunned by Nathan's words, but he calmed down when he thought of Nathan's hidden identity.
He laughed. "Yes, you're right! Maybe the evidence will come by itself soon!"
The crowd was dumbstruck. Even though James had indeed violated the law, waiting for the evidence to come out of nowhere was absolute nonsense!
The crowd sighed inwardly.
How can the mayor be so muddle-headed? He's ineffectual at investigating James! That's why he's no match for his subordinate.
James felt troubled when he saw the mysterious smile on Nathan's face. Suddenly, he had a gut feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Nevertheless, he had perfectly concealed his corruptions and the abuse of his power.
The Department of Justice had investigated him several times, but they had found nothing. He was convinced no one could get hold of his criminal evidence.
The corner of James' lips twitched up slightly. He sniggered at Nathan and
Russell, saying, "How can evidence present itself in a few minutes? Don't be so naive. You're only humiliating yourself!"
Just when James finished mocking them, the director of the Department of Justice, Steve Davis' phone started being loaded with messages.
