Orty turned his head to look at the TV, "Wow, the presenters this time are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

"That's right, the person in charge of the awards is going to have a headache for a few days." Luke took out his phone and began searching for related news videos.

The news program just now was not the first to air, but a re-broadcast.

Luke browsed through a lot of similar news, found some footage of the arrests, all wearing hoods so their faces were unclear, but Fatou Brandi's bulky physique still gave him away.

Among the women, there was one with a notably curvy figure, which looked a lot like Laura.

Orty had previously investigated Laura and found out her real identity as a woman involved in the sex trade. Luke hadn't paid much attention at the time, thinking she was just trying to scam him by getting close on purpose, but now it seemed there was another motive.

Orty leaned forward, "Any thoughts?"

"That guy is just a big, dumb brute." At first, Luke was worried that Fatou Brandi might cause him harm, but this guy had screwed himself over.

"Actually, you can't really say that. Laura is beautiful and has a hot body, knowing men very well in their line of work, and most single men would fall for it if they just used a little trickery."

Orty looked curious, "How did you figure out there was something off about her?"

Luke stared at Orty, serious, "I can read a woman's heart through her eyes."

"I need to go buy some sunglasses before the mall closes."

Luke asked, "Did you find out the identity of the man who was drunk last night?"

"Found it, Hansar Pasha, he used to serve in the army, now works as a parking lot attendant."

"It's a very leisurely job, plenty of time to plan things out, and he can swap work shifts too, a nice cover."

Luke hadn't wanted to get too involved in this but he had a feeling that this operation aimed not only at the awards presenter but also seemed to be targeting him.

It wasn't because he suffered from paranoid delusions, but such targeted events can't be coincidental repeatedly.

If the recently awarded 'hero' keeps having incidents, the public will realize there is a plot, achieving the opposite effect.

If you're saying the civilian hero, Chris Franco, was the first one planned to be caught.

Then, Luke should be the second because Laura initially approached him.

If Luke had fallen for it back then, it wouldn't have been Fatou Brandi caught in a vice raid, but Luke.

However, Luke ignored Laura.

Laura then hooked up with Fatou Brandi, probably as a backup plan.

Last night, the white drunk man, Hansar Pasha, came looking for trouble; if Luke had retaliated then, he'd likely make the news the next day.

Luke cleverly avoided pitfalls twice, leading these people to expose Fatou Brandi's incident.

This guy was also unlucky, originally here to receive an award in grand style, and moreover nationally broadcasted, an American hero known worldwide.

Well, the next day a prostitution scandal was revealed, Luke figured soon the whole world would know this news, becoming gossip for people globally.

Fatou Brandi was completely famous now, just not in a flattering way, and he could forget about shaking off this label for the rest of his life.

If it weren't for Luke being cautious enough, he might have been the unfortunate one, bringing shame not only to himself but to his family as well.

Since crossing over, this was the first time Luke had been so calculated against.

Orty interrupted Luke's thoughts, "What are you planning to do now?"

Luke said, "If someone hits you and you don't hit back, they'll strike again."

"That's true, but solving this issue is not easy." Orty could roughly guess the cause and effect of the situation, and from her experience, breaking the game was not easy.

Luke also wanted to discuss his thoughts, "What's your opinion?"

Orty stirred her coffee cup with a spoon, "First of all, the FBI's arrest of Chris Franco was in accordance with legal procedures, this part is a clear plot."

"The FBI hasn't troubled me, and I have no need to deal with them.

Laura and the drunk Hansar Pasha are the ones I need to confront."

Orty thought for a moment, "These two people are also not easy to deal with.

Laura is just a woman caught in the trade; she didn't inflict any physical harm on Fatou Brandi, what can you do to her?

As for seducing you, she could simply say she was picking up clients.

Believe me, she will admit nothing.

The drunk Hansar Pasha alike, he indeed provoked you, but he was chased away by me; he neither broke the law nor committed a crime, nor did he physically harm you.

Even if the police find him, they are powerless."

Orty touched on the crux of the problem, the trickiest part of this issue was, these people inflicted immense psychological damage to the victim at a minimal criminal cost.

Take Laura, for example, she might be detained for a few days at most.

But Fatou Brandi would suffer enormous public condemnation because of this incident and even lose the recently acquired hero's halo, becoming a laughingstock for people around the world.

The damage from this event would stay with him for life.

If Hansar Pasha's strategy of provoking Luke had succeeded, Luke would also be labeled a drunk, troublemaker, and brawler over a woman, with also a huge impact on him.

And Hansar Pasha might simply be released on bail, facing no sanctions.

Plainly put, ordinary legal processes are hardly effective in punishing them.

Luke took out his phone and dialed the number Reid had given him, "Hello, is this Trist Sig?"
