Chapter 677: Philip's Mishap

Tina retorted sarcastically, "May I ask, Chief Linden, what national property was damaged when the bionic robot went berserk? Who was injured? Or was there any life-threatening situation?"

Linden coughed, "There was no damage to national property, no one was injured, and there was no threat to life, but..."

"The only one injured was our Uncle, who is still bleeding from his nose! All because he saved that runaway motorcycle. You don't even commend him, yet you want to punish?"

Listening to Tina's sophistry, Linden sighed heavily, "That was his duty, a remedy for a mishap caused by your company!"

Tina nodded approvingly, "We've made amends, quite successfully at that, and even paid for repairs to roads, hospitals, schools, and so forth, all out of our own pockets. We've made up for it, haven't we? Chief Linden?" Linden, at a loss for words, conceded.

It seemed to make sense!

Linden took a sip of water, "Alright, you may go."

Tina grabbed a few more pieces of candy from the dish, "Goodbye, Uncle Linden!"

Linden chuckled, "Wait, when will your mother wake up?"

"That's uncertain, but once she does, I'll let her know you were asking about her."

Tina waved as she walked out of the chief's office.

Linden shook his head helplessly as Harry Jackson called again.

Linden said, "Chief, the guy is still bleeding, and it's costing us money. What more do you want? His face is insured, worth more than Ember Saffron. If we really get down to it, we can't afford this!"

Harry Jackson responded, "Alright, choose whoever you want for the chief!"

Exiting the X Bureau, Tina left as Ethan, Janson, and Damian continued their routine questioning.
