Chapter 281
The moment Adjutant General Damon saw General Jenkins, without uttering a single word, he delivered him a resounding slap.
General Jenkins was left dazed, taking quite some time to recover from the impact. He’d welcomed Adjutant. General Damon with a smile, but the man fucking responded with a slap instead.
That was crossing the line!
“Adjutant General Damon, what is the meaning of this?!” General Jenkins‘ face darkened, his gaze turning hostile. Even if he was Christopher’s adjutant general, it didn’t mean he had a free pass to humiliate him. After all, Chief General Spanner was backing him.
In terms of rank, he held an even higher position than Christopher!
“General Jenkins, that slap was a lesson for you,” Adjutant General Damon said with a cool expression. “You should not have captured Mr. Rhys. Release him now, or you’ll have to bear the consequences!”
“Are you threatening me?” General Jenkins snorted. “Damon, you’re nothing but an old general’s dog. What right do you have to order me around?!”
“Indeed, I cannot, but the general can. If you don’t want trouble, do as I say,” Adjutant General Damon said expressionlessly.
“Hmph, don’t use the general’s name to scare me!” General Jenkins said furiously. “The person I captured has committed a heinous crime, and the evidence is beyond any reasonable doubt. You can’t just ask for him to be released!”
If Adjutant General Damon had spoken in a kinder manner, perhaps he might have released Dustin out of respect for Christopher.
But he’d fucking come up to him and slap him. No one would be alright with that.
“General Jenkins, don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you choose to remain obstinate, then no one can save you!” Adjutant General Damon warned.
“You think I’m scared?” General Jenkins said, glaring at him. “To tell you the truth, I am Chief General Spanner’s subordinate. If you want to lay a hand on him, you’d have to ask for his permission!”
“It seems like you really won’t release him?” Adjutant General Damon frowned.
“No! Even if God asked, I wouldn’t release him!” General Jenkins bellowed.
“Fine! I hope you won’t regret it!” Without another word, he got into his car and left, leaving General Jenkins to choke on the exhaust.
“Damn it, that dog! How dare he act all high and mighty in front of me?” General Jenkins spat on the floor. lifting his hand to caress his stinging cheek.
Fuck, he was really unlucky today!
First, Bloodbeast had slapped him, and now Adjutant General Damon. Not to mention, it was all under strange circumstances.
“What’s the matter?” Jade walked over.
“Don’t ask. A crazy dog from the Murray family came to ask me to release Dustin,” General Jenkins said annoyedly.
“No way. Could that punk have ties to the Murray family?” Jade frowned.
“Who fucking cares? The Grant family is also one of the Tremendous Three, just like the Murray family. Why should we be afraid of them?” General Jenkins said, irritated.
“You have a point.” Jade nodded.
As the two were speaking, an armed motorcade suddenly appeared on the far end of the road.
The Murray family flags decorated the motorcade. Dozens of military trucks were filled with people, blazing their way over. Soon after, they completely blocked off the entire entrance of the base. As the cars came to a stop, over three hundred armed soldiers hopped off. Their gazes were all fixed on General Jenkins.
Tension was palpable in the air, as it war was going to break out at any moment.
“Damon, what do you think you’re doing?!” When General Jenkins saw Adjutant General Damon in the lead, he almost blew his top. “How dare you bring so many people to crash my base? Are you trying to start a rebellion?
“I am merely carrying out my general’s order to obtain your hostage. If you won’t give him to me, then I can only grab him from you,” Adjutant General Damon said indifferently.
“The audacity!” General Jenkins yelled, his eyes furious. “I am the subordinate of Chief General Spanner. Is the Murray family declaring war against him?!”
“I’m merely following orders. Anything else doesn’t concern me,” Adjutant General Damon said without beating around the bush.
“It seems like there’s no more room for negotiation today, is there? Fine! If that’s the case, then let’s see who has bigger numbers!” General Jenkins roared at the top of his lungs.
In the next second, a large wave of soldiers surged out of the base.
