Chapter 566 Credibility

566 Credibility

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Furious as she was at her charge, Emilia's 'manager' had only been able to force herself to calm down and contain her anger to the best of her ability. But when someone took the initiative to present their face for a good smacking so she could vent her anger, who was she to refuse?

Under the stunned gaze of both the chief of police and Emilia, the lady stomped over to the delirious kidnapper like a woman on a mission before smacking her right across the face with all her strength. "Stupid bitc—!"

Recalling that Emi was still there, the manager quickly changed her words with a cough. "—B-Bench! Y-You stupid bench! Uh, Wench!"

'I-It's okay, little Emi is stupid enough to run around and get kidnapped, so she definitely must not be able to tell how embarrassed I am right now. That's right!' The manager quickly convinced herself so, and then continued reprimanding the female kidnapper while trying her best to appear calm and confident. "I-I have seen many scumbags in my life, but you really are a notch above them all, aren't you? Not only did you try to ruin my poor girl's life by taking her away, you still want to traumatize her with these moronic accusations that only a child would believe?!"

Fortunately, Emilia was quite good at self-control, and only giggled uncontrollably behind the thoroughly confused police chief, just silent enough for the sound to not reach the manager.

As for the kidnapper lady…

The woman's accusations and thoughts both came to an abrupt halt as her head snapped to the side in shock, and she finally had a horrific realization. 'That's right… even if I keep repeating the truth to everyone… no one will believe me.'

This was not only because her words were hard to believe, but also because she simply had no credibility.

Maybe even if she were to tell these people something they already knew, they would still check it twice to make sure they hadn't been misinformed before!

The commotion also woke the fainted gang leader, Andrew, but the man only looked around in confusion, still not able to comprehend what happened.

One of his men came to report that a team from the Nightingale clan was here, and then…? What happened to his office, why was he in this position, and who the hell were all these people?!

Looking at the confused and despairing expressions on the faces of the gangsters, the manager finally felt a little cathartic after a long time. It felt like this was the first time she really felt 'de-stressed' ever since she met little Emi, and she couldn't help but be a little angry at the thought.

Who said she couldn't control Emi? Look, she will definitely establish her majesty in front of that stupid little brat today!

"S-Stop, stop hitting me!"

"Eeek!"

"Ow?!"

Although the kicks and smacks from the manager weren't very powerful, both Andrew and the kidnapper lady soon realized that there was such a thing as 'quantity makes up for quality', and after receiving dozens of heels to the guts, they couldn't help but start to cry bitterly.

"I didn't do this because I wanted to! I-I really didn't have any other way to survive, you must believe me, really!"

"I-I will tell you whatever you want to know, j-just stop hitting me already!"

To make matters worse, the chief of police also didn't seem very motivated to stop the ongoing crime at this time, and only lightly 'chided' the furious manager.

"I understand that you must be furious, but please rest assured that we will do everything under the law to make sure these scumbags are brought to justice. No need to take the law into your own hands!"

When her lieutenant looked at her to ask if the woman should be stopped, however, the police chief quickly shook her head with a smile. "Check on the other unconscious people first, then secure all the gangsters before taking them back."

Admiring how clever her move was, the police chief couldn't help but grin. 'Heh, you can't blame me for not being able to stop the beating, I'm too busy making sure that the victim is safe first.'

Her team quickly snapped a few photos of the scene before checking on the condition of the pile of bodies in the corner carefully.

To be honest, none of them really believed that the little crimson-haired girl was the one who beat them up. After all, no matter how well-trained a child was, taking on an entire squad of Nightingale clan fighters was out of the question even for the best combatants of their special forces.

Most likely, people from the White Deer had come to help to make sure she was rescued in time, and then told her to keep things secret so things don't get blown out of proportion.

Anyone could figure out such a simple thing if they thought about it calmly for even a second, and naturally, their chief didn't want to embarrass the poor little girl further without reason. After all, she must have had a bad enough day as it was, and if pushed further, who knew how long her tough front would hold?

To think she had to go through such an act after being kidnapped, traumatized, and rescued, they could only wonder what a whirlwind of emotions the poor girl must have gone through.

Just being able to put up such a convincing and brave facade so far, however, made them admire her a little.

This acting talent… no wonder she was selected as the main mascot of the White Deer in their country!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

In the end, the manager's physical strength didn't hold up to her spirit of righteous indignation, and she gave up beating the kidnappers to death in favor of 'educating' little Emi.

Even if she couldn't beat the little brat's ass, she could still make the girl's ears swell from her scoldings, couldn't she?

Meanwhile, the team from the Nightingale clan was also taken away by paramedics for an examination since they refused to wake up despite their breathing being normal, though the police didn't really expect much to go wrong.

After all, even most children from the Nightingale clan could survive falling head-first from a two-story building, if rumors were to be believed. And even if that was an exaggeration, surviving a beat down should still be a given.

As for the gangsters, although they begged and pleaded for their case while being loaded up in the police vans, their cries failed to arouse any sympathy.

No one in this port town was oblivious to how many lives these people had ruined, and it was unlikely that this setback would stop them for long, so how could anyone feel sorry for these scumbags?

It was truly regretful that the people who came to help 'little Emi' seemed to have some reservations about how ruthless they could act in a foreign land, and thus didn't clean this filth up permanently.

Of course, if they knew what Emilia had in store for them, the policemen wouldn't feel any regret at all, but only horror.
