The policemen unknowingly paved the way for Benjamin and his entourage.
Some even nodded politely to them.
The truth is that many of them are also policemen. They were transferred to the Anti-Corruption Department because they had good performance.
In the field of law enforcement, that is where the elites belong.
Of course, the people watching also became quiet because of their arrival.
Each of them began to whisper with their friends, wondering why the Anti-Corruption Department had come to Isabel.
In reality, this was enough to cause bad rumors.
"Mrs. Isabel!" Benjamin said as he arrived in front of Isabel.
"Could you come with us for a moment to fulfill the needs of the investigation?"
He said that politely, but his voice sounded loud enough for everyone in the neighborhood to hear.
Every eye then looked at Isabel, the beautiful female official.
When an official with a fat body and hypocritical face commits corruption, people might be able to understand.
However, if it was Isabel, one would definitely be disappointed as people often assume her heart is as beautiful as her face, pure and unblemished.
Of course, there is no shortage of fanatical supporters, especially among young people.
The youngsters here happened to be more courageous, some of them shouted at Benjamin. "Hey, what evil scheme are you devising? You must want to get rid of Mrs. Isabel, right?"
"Yeah, just because you're from the Anti-Corruption Department doesn't mean you're right, I heard there are a lot of scoundrels there."
"If you dare, tell me your purpose here."
Being shouted at by many youngsters, even Benjamin and the people following him became awkward.
In today's era, young people cannot be underestimated as they rule the cyberspace so they can influence public opinion.
However, Benjamin is also a man who is skilled in dealing with things like this.
He pretended not to hear the youngsters' words, staying focused on Isabel.
"Mrs. Isabel, as a good official, you will not refuse to help with this investigation, right?" he said with a faint smile.
Isabel was actually quite calm, she observed Benjamin, and after hearing his words, she nodded with a faint smile.
"Sure, let's go, I want to see what case you want to investigate," she said.
She did not refuse Benjamin's request.
Of course, her assistants did not agree. One of them said, "Mom, don't follow him, this must be a trap. You have no obligation to follow him. It's better we go to your residence now, let's see if he dares to come there."
The person who said that said it in such a loud voice, it could be heard by people in the distance that those who had previously thought strangely of Isabel began to feel like there was an evil scheme here.
Right after that, one of Benjamin's assistants suddenly shouted to Isabel's assistant, responding to his shout. "Mind your words, sir, we are here to carry out our duty to uphold the laws of Europe, guarding it from all filthy things."
"Nonsense!" Isabel's other assistants clearly did not accept his words that seemed to regard them as dirty.
One by one, they pointed at the assistant.
In no time, a commotion started with each side shouting at the other.
This became difficult even for the policemen as both were parties with great power. Airport security was of course completely helpless in a situation like this.
Surprisingly, Isabel looked like she didn't want to interfere. She let the commotion happen.
Apparently she was confident of winning public opinion because she was influential.
Over time, it could be seen that her assistants began to take control of the debate.
The people from the Anti-Corruption Department were silenced several times.
In the end, Benjamin cleared his throat quite loudly and said, "please calm down, guys!"
Taking advantage of the momentary calm when people were silent, he said to Isabel, "please follow us!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around, signaling his subordinates to leave.
He was confident that Isabel would follow them because if she chose to leave, he could tell that Isabel was trying to evade.
Since Isabel had previously said that she would follow them, she immediately took a step when they did.
Her assistants who wanted to advise her were told to be quiet.
With no other choice, they could only follow.
The police and employees of the Secretary of State also followed.
The latter group seemed to be in constant discussion, even calling others.
Maybe one of them will call the President directly.
Meanwhile, Benjamin did not lead Isabel out of the airport terminal. He went to the Customs and Immigration Office located in the terminal.
It had its own large premises, and of course had full facilities, which were often used to interrogate foreign tourists.
However, when they arrived in front of the office, Arthur, Isabel, and Carla furrowed their brows simultaneously.
How could they not, they sensed a lot of Evolver presence inside the office.
The only ones who were not Evolvers were the employees on duty outside.
Of course, the ones inside must also be employees or perhaps they were Evolvers infiltrating and disguising themselves as employees.
Although difficult, when the Armstrong Family mobilizes their wealth, it is not impossible for them to do this.
When he arrived in front of the office, Benjamin stopped, and turned towards Isabel.
"In the interest of investigation, other than your lawyer, Mrs. Isabel, no one is allowed to enter," he said, which instantly caused another commotion.
After all, Isabel did not bring a lawyer here.
Although interrogations were usually like that, this was a sudden interrogation.
Isabel should have been accompanied by her subordinates to avoid enemy tricks.
Surprisingly enough, before Isabel answered, Benjamin suddenly looked at Arthur and added, "to make you feel comfortable, you can bring your family members to accompany you."
"Sure," Isabel replied in a casual tone.
She had no objection. Since they wanted to battle it out, she would accompany them to find out who was stronger.
Isabel had absolute confidence in her and Arthur's victory because she did not take the Evolvers seriously.
"Arthur, come on," Isabel said to Arthur as she took a step.
Arthur immediately followed her, passing by Benjamin while glancing at him for a moment and being indifferent.
Carla just stood still, not following them. Even then, she took out her phone to open social media.
At this point, she is more interested in looking at the news to find out if there has been any news about her mother?
When he arrived at the office, Arthur found that there seemed to be some renovations left, which made the office seem more closed. It would even withstand the loudest sounds.
Arthur also observed every CCTV there. And as it turned out, they were all dead.
This was quite natural as all the CCTVs here were connected to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Armstrong family probably created fake footage to show to the Ministry of Home Affairs while all the CCTVs here were turned off.
In the end, their plan is a fight, they naturally don't want to be seen.
By the time he reached the side of a sofa, Benjamin stopped his steps so Isabel and Arthur also stopped.
"Have a seat, Mrs. Isabel," Benjamin said.
"Oh, are we not going to the interrogation room?" asked Isabel in response.
"No need, after all, you are an honorable official, I don't think the interrogation room is appropriate for you," Benjamin replied surprisingly enough.
"Is that so?" Isabel seemed unsure of what Benjamin wanted to do before starting a fight.
She finally chose to sit on the sofa while continuing to stare at him.
Arthur, on the other hand, remained standing, looking at the employees who were Evolvers.
At this moment, their gazes were all fixed on him, as if trying to see what was unique about him.
"So, how did you start the interrogation?" Isabel asked Benjamin.
The latter also remained standing, he took a deep breath before replying, "Before that, I would like to talk to you about something personal."
"Personal?" Isabel and Arthur did not expect his answer so they looked at him uncertainly.
What did he mean by personal? Was it a conversation that had nothing to do with the matter at hand?
The problem was what personal things Benjamin needed to talk to Isabel about.
From the looks of it, Isabel didn't seem to know this man either.
"I'm Benjamin Armstrong, of the Armstrong Family, and I'm pretty sure I can be the next head of the family," Benjamin replied.
"Ohhh?" What he said made Isabel's gaze at him even more strange as it seemed like he was not in the mood for a fight.
"So?" asked Isabel.
Right after he asked that, Benjamin suddenly looked directly at Isabel's face.
This was not an ordinary stare, but a stare that was too direct that it could create a misunderstanding.
And there seemed to be a reason for it.
Benjamin replied, "To be honest, I quite admire you as a man. Being a minister at your age? Not many women have achieved it, but out of all of them, people would definitely not doubt that you are the most beautiful. As a man, I can't deny that I have feelings of admiration for you. Well, I'm sure you can guess by now. Yes, I want you to be my wife. After that, I'm sure all our conflicts will be resolved, and I'll even do everything to help your political career. Although I'm from the Armstrong Family, I'm actually quite open-minded. When you become my wife and I become the head of the family, that means you will become the owner of half of Armstrong."
