Hugo Combs was thrown into total disarray.
"Minister, please hear me out..."
Zayd Singleton stared at Hugo Combs coldly, "No need for explanations. I appointed you as the deputy head of the inspection team because I expected you to be just and strict, not to abuse your power and act like a tyrant. You're relieved of your duties, starting now. You are suspended and will be investigated immediately. If your actions are found to be illegal or against the discipline, you will pay the price for your behavior!"
It's over!
Hugo Combs felt a chill in his heart; his limbs went weak, and he almost collapsed right there.
Hugo Combs wasn't a fool; he knew he probably caused a disaster.
The focus of today was not the arrogant words he said that Zayd Singleton happened to overhear. It was that as a minister, Zayd Singleton had rushed over here to deal with him personally.
This sudden turn of events shocked the onlookers, as well as Shirley Miller.
