"Hush!"

The police's abrupt presence silenced the entire hall. The jazz music ceased playing, making the tension more palpable among the anxious crowd. Faint whispers rippled through them.

"Nicholas Wu, you're under arrest for charges of fraud, embezzlement and accomplice to murder, conducted both here and overseas. We're acting in coordination with Interpol. We have evidence and a court order for your detainment."

"W-what?"

"Fraud? Even... accomplice to murder?"

"Did I hear it right?"
