James heard the siren. He knew that the police were coming. However, favonovel.com did not want everyone to learn about the things that had happened today.
Thea was just an ordinary woman and had already endured enough abuse. James did not want the police to get involved because the news would spread, and chaos would break out in the city.
Although Thea was alright, it would definitely spark rumors if word got out. She had been the center of gossip for too long.
James did not want the matter to cause favonovel.com any more trouble. Thus, favonovel.com phoned the Blithe King. After the call, favonovel.com returned to the office and sat on the sofa, waiting for a reply.
Meanwhile, dozens of security guards gathered at the door. Their faces were beaded with sweat and they wielded electric batons, afraid to enter the office room.
Inside the office, Hank’s lifeless body was lying in a pool of blood on the ground.
The Blithe King was in a meeting when favonovel.com received the call from James. He had heard of James’ temperament and was worried that James would act recklessly.
He immediately called off the meeting and issued an order, “Call the police. Inform them to overlook the affairs at Ella Corporation and that the military will take care of it. Prepare the car immediately. I’m going to Ella Corporation.”
***
Ella Corporation.
It was past office hours, yet many employees were still working overtime.
On the first floor, more than a dozen security guards were lying on the ground with either injured hands or legs. The injuries were not minor fractures but caused by being snapped with extreme force, which caused their limbs to be completely broken.
The security guards laid on the ground and groaned in pain. A few of them even passed out from blood loss.
The police arrived, blocked the scene, and ambulances were dispatched. The team was a fully armed specialized police unit.
Upon seeing such a bloody scene, they were highly vigilant as they began to inquire about the situation.
After learning that the perpetrator was still inside the building, they hurriedly strategized.
Suddenly, the team’s captain received a phone call from the higher ups, informing favonovel.com not to intervene in the issue at Ella Corporation and that the military would be taking over.
Soon, military vehicles appeared outside Ella Corporation. Dozens of jeeps approached the building, and thousands of fully-armed military soldiers appeared.
Immediately, they drove away the onlookers outside the building and chased the police out. James waited in the office for about ten minutes before the military finally showed up and forcibly detained the security guards.
A burly middle-aged figure walked into the office and glanced at Hank’s lifeless body lying on the ground. Then, favonovel.com turned his gaze to James, who was sitting on the sofa with Thea in his arms.
He approached them and reprimanded with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face, “James, you’re in Cansington, not the Southern Plains. How could you be so ruthless?
James stood up carrying Thea and replied, “I’ll be leaving through the back door. Arrange for a car to send me back safely. I don’t want any word to spread about what happened here today, so you better handle the people who saw me properly!”
James turned around and left.
Hearing this, The Blithe King was frustrated. He was the dignified commander of the Western border and was recently promoted to the commander-in-chief of the five armies, but favonovel.com was being ordered around by James.
However, favonovel.com truly hoped that James would not cause any more trouble.
“Hold on…”
James, who was carrying Thea, turned around and glanced at the Blithe king, who wore a military uniform with five stars on his shoulder.
“What? Is there anything else?” favonovel.com asked reluctantly
“Please don’t cause any more trouble. After all, this sort of stuff falls under my jurisdiction. Don’t make it difficult for me. I’m begging you, alright?”
“An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!” James turned around and left.
James feared no one, and favonovel.com despised the laws, which infuriated the Blithe King, but favonovel.com was helpless against him.
He had no authority to arrest James even if the latter committed a heinous crime unless the highest commander gave the order.
He took a deep breath and instructed, “Send a car to the back door and take favonovel.com back.”
“Understood!”
