Chapter 408
Swoosh!
The soldiers marched into the front yard, forming multiple lines, inside and outside, to surround Stephen and his men.
Not even an ant could get through the human barricade, let alone a person.
The guns were all pointed at Stephen and his men as though a nightmare had descended upon them, devouring them all.
After the soldiers had Stephen and his men surrounded, they opened up a path for a middle–aged man in military uniform to pass through.
The man’s boots thudded loudly as he made his way forward. His face looked rigid and sharp while his keen eyes made it difficult for one to stare at him.
The man was Decker Armstrong, the military governor of the East River State!
Gasp!
Decker always appeared in headlines and on TV, and it was impossible for anyone, especially wealthy families, not to know him.
His appearance made everyone gasp, except Andrius. Even the arrogant and fierce Stephen felt deterred. and afraid. He shrank backward immediately.
“Men!” Decker pointed at Stephen. “Take them back to the base for interrogation!”
“NO!” Stephen’s legs turned weak instantly and he almost fell to his knees. He was a fierce man but only when facing the wealthy families.
Compared to Decker, who oversaw the East River State with indubitable power, he was nothing but a
sneeze.
The only thing Stephen could do now was beg for his life!
“Military Governor! Sir!”
Stephen was horrified as he explained, “This is just a little misunderstanding! I am actually here to celebrate Madam Montecarlo’s birthday.”
“Celebrate?”
Decker scoffed and pointed at the coffin. “You call that a celebratory present? Are you listening to yourself?”
Stephen’s expression turned bitter. He nervously explained, “Sir! I am wrong, I am willing to make up for the mistakes. I…”
“Enough!” Decker was in no mood for his nonsense. He added, “My time is precious. You’d better not resist.”
As a matter of fact, Decker was actually nervous inwardly.
Dax had been screwed over by Andrius twice and would not want to see a third time. Therefore, before Dax left, he purposely informed Decker to maintain order in the East River State.
However, Stephen decided to cause a scene. It was not only dangerous to himself but also endangered the Warzone Master who was absent.
When Decker got the news, he brought his men to the estate immediately.
Fortunately, he made it in time and prevented the exacerbation of the matter.
7.”
Stephen was nervous and afraid. He looked at Decker and begged, “Sir, may I make a call?”
A call?
Decker scoffed. No calls would be any use in front of the Wolf King. Even if the call was for a deity in the heavens, even if the call could reach Hades of the underworld, none of them had any power before the Wolf King in this realm.
Stephen took his silence as permission granted. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and started to make multiple calls.
“It’s me, Stephen. I’m at the Conerys‘ estate, and I’m surrounded by the state military government Can I ask for a favor…”
“Favor? Go f*ck yourself!”
“I don’t know who you are.”
“Get away from me! I don’t want anything to do with you!”
No one answered his call for help when he said he was surrounded by Decker and his soldiers.
Some of them hung up on him, some of them cut ties with him, and some pretended that they did not
know him.
No one offered aid.
What a joke!
Who would want to oppose the state military governor?
It was suicidal!
The devastating outcome shocked him. He felt like his world had collapsed on him. He fell into despair and endless anxiety. Despair was smeared all over his lifeless face.
“I have given you the chance, but you wasted it,” Decker scoffed. “Men, take them all away!“
