Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 298 - 293: Arrested

Dalton hurriedly said, "Last night, Josh used a Spiritual Power Weapon in Burn City, and someone filmed it and put the video online. Now the internet is in an uproar, and everyone is calling for her to be condemned!"

Cherry’s eyes flickered slightly, "This child, why is she still so reckless?"

There was a trace of coldness in her eyes.

After Susanna sent her a message in the middle of the night, she immediately hired internet trolls to stir up trouble and add fuel to the fire against Josh.

This fool, hasn’t she grown wings?

Wasn’t she acting all high and mighty, thinking that by clinging to Yuze she could do whatever she wanted, treating Cherry with arrogance and disrespect?

She really wanted to see how Josh would get out of this one!

Burn City has always been strict with its laws and regulations.

She didn’t believe that Josh could get away this time!

Cherry had specifically advised her brother, who had just taken office at the Urban Management Bureau, to take good care of Josh so that no one would think he was being biased.

Urban Management Bureau.

The moment Josh entered, she was locked in a small confinement room, pressed onto a table, her hands bound by chains that popped out, and shackles also placed on her feet and neck.

She frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, "What are you doing?"

The person next to her said with a blank expression, "This is the director’s order."

"Did your director instruct you to use corporal punishment?" Josh struggled a bit, feeling a stinging electric current flow from the chains into her skin, straight to her bones.

She immediately calmed down, refraining from further struggle.

Footsteps were heard from outside, and a tall man walked in, wearing a military uniform and a hat marked with a captain’s insignia.

As he approached, the air pressure in the room quickly dropped, and a sense of killing intent enveloped the space.

This was an aura only cultivated from years of fighting on the battlefield.

The man stopped in front of her, squinting his narrow eyes, "Are you Josh?"

Josh looked at him; the man had a sharp face, looking at her with disdain.

"Who are you?" Josh responded with a question instead of answering.

The man’s disdain deepened, "I am Charlotte Lu."

Josh raised her eyebrows; the surname Lu seemed somewhat familiar.

The man looked at her coldly, "I’m also your uncle."

So, he was Cherry’s brother.

Before Cherry placed the video in front of him, he didn’t believe a girl could be that vicious.

Until he saw the video of Josh repeatedly pushing Susanna to the ground, pushing her down from the stairs, repeatedly denying and framing, showing no respect for elders, being sharp-tongued, and even after obtaining a weapon and awakening the skill, the first thing she did was control her biological mother and dragged her down from upstairs.

Such vile behavior left Charlotte with an extremely poor impression of this niece he had never met.

He had spent decades soaking in the battlefield, earning every military merit and promotion through life-and-death struggles.

Just recently, he had been transferred back from the battlefield, appointed as the director of Urban Management in Burn City, and the first case he handled was his niece publicly violating urban management regulations by using a weapon to climb a building.

And it was causing an uproar online.

As a new official, he had to make a strong impression, especially since it involved his relative.

To silence anyone saying he was harboring relatives, he had to severely punish Josh.

Why did she have to walk into the line of fire?

Moreover, Cherry had conveniently called last night to complain, saying she went to Burn City to see Josh recently but was humiliated by Josh, who claimed to have attached herself to the nobles and looked down on the Augustine family.

Such a child who loves clinging to the powerful, Charlotte despises the most.

Having spent so long on the battlefield, he was most fed up with the nobility’s ways.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left the family and resolutely joined the Military Department, spending decades on the battlefield without returning home.

Charlotte sat down in front of her, "Using a weapon in public, and making it known to everyone, do you know how vile your actions are?"

Hearing he was Cherry’s brother, Josh lost most of her appetite, rolling her eyes, she didn’t want to bother responding.

No wonder he looked like someone owed him millions—like two peas in a pod with Cherry.

Charlotte sternly slapped the table, "Tell me, why did you use a weapon in public? Don’t you know it violates urban management regulations?"

Josh turned her face away.

Seeing this, Charlotte electrified the chains.

Josh grunted, meeting Charlotte’s expressionless gaze, she gritted her teeth hard, determined not to make a sound.

Her defiant eyes stunned Charlotte; he was too familiar with that look. It’s the same defiant glint seen in the eyes of the wolf cubs in the barracks when they refuse to concede.

Charlotte found it hard to reconcile such eyes with the vile nature of the girl before him.

He hardened his face, "What? Not convinced? This is standard interrogation procedure. If you don’t speak, I have more ways to make you talk."

Josh suddenly started laughing.

Charlotte furrowed his brow, "What are you laughing at?"

Josh glanced at him mockingly, "I just find it funny. Nowadays, doing a good deed means getting arrested and tortured?"

"You?" Charlotte shot back mockingly, "A good deed?"

His initial assumptions made it hard to believe that she, a young girl, would be selfless and brave. He was more inclined to think she was fabricating a story on-the-spot to evade punishment.

Josh was not someone who liked hard confrontation; this man seemed to have considerable authority here.

It wasn’t worth being stubborn, giving others an excuse to punish her.

She nodded, "Yes, I encountered a woman having a heart attack in the cinema’s restroom. She asked me to take her back to the car for her medication. The situation was urgent, and the elevator was too slow, which is why I used the weapon to carry her up."

The person beside them scribbled in a notebook.

Charlotte glanced at her, "You know what the consequences are for lying to the Urban Management Bureau, right?"

Josh smiled slightly, "Feel free to check the surveillance footage. In such public places, there are surveillance cameras everywhere. You wouldn’t take my word for it anyway, would you? I’ve said everything I have to say."

Seeing her speak with such certainty, Charlotte believed her a bit more.

If that were the case, her good deed could counterbalance her offense. Military law is strict, but it also has room for compassion, provided they find the person at the scene to testify for her.

Charlotte stood up, ready to have someone search, when suddenly a man dressed in noble attire entered from outside.

The man wore the unique emblem of the Grant Bin family, which was not only a symbol of the Marquis Grant’s family but also one of the sponsorship icons of the Eden Garden Guild.

Charlotte frowned slightly; he recognized this man as the adjutant to Marquis Grant, whom he had met once during a ball at a meeting between the noble district and the Military Department District.

The man walked up to Charlotte, removing the white gloves in his hand, and gracefully extended them, "Hello, you must be the newly appointed Director Charlotte. I am Norton Isaac, adjutant to Marquis Grant."

Charlotte shook hands with him, "Hello, I’m not sure why you’re here..."
