The Right Deputy Magistrate, still trying to act tough and counting on the hundreds of Officials downstairs, retorted, "Whoever walks out of this building today is the winner. And only the winner has the final say!"
A fine fantasy, but reality delivered a harsh slap in the face.
In the main hall on the first floor, all of the Right Deputy Magistrate's men had been apprehended.
