General North alighted from the car just moments later.
He was expressionless, yet everyone held their breaths as though he had been raging.
His aura seemed ten times as powerful as the ‘General North’ that entered the building not long ago.
Mance hurried to his side and said, “Welcome to Raider Group, General North...”
Slap!
To everyone’s horror, General North raised his hand and slapped Mance squarely on his cheek.
That sent Mance flying across the street, almost passing out on impact.
The people in the crowd were bewildered. Didn’t Mance Raider invite General North over for the ceremony? Why
did he get slapped?
A buzzing sound took over Mance’s mind. Oh no... Did he find out about the fake General North?
Even so, he pretended to stay calm and asked, “Why did you slap me, General?”
“Slap you? I wish I could kill you right now!” General North huffed. “Bring him here.”

between the two of them.
Mance shivered at the sight of the man, and the air began to smell like ammonia.
He had wet himself out of shock.
That man was none other than Scorpio, the mercenary he had sent to assassinate Zeke a few days ago.
He was paralyzed from head down since Zeke had snapped his spine into half.
When Scorpio disappeared, Mance thought that Scorpio had betrayed him.
The last thing he expected to see was Scorpio becoming General North’s prisoner.
Why did you let yourself get caught, for goodness’ sake?
Illegally recruiting mercenaries was a crime punishable by death.
“Eurasia forbids the recruitment and dispatching of mercenaries by law, no matter what the mission is!” General
North bellowed. “Not only did you break the law, but you also sent a mercenary to stir up trouble. You deserve to
die!”
Mance almost fainted from the terror that gnawed at his heart.
Suddenly, another soldier jogged over to General North and saluted at him. “Sir! There is someone posing as you in
the building! We’ve received numerous reports from civilians, and we can confirm that it is true.”
That made General North even more irritated. “That’s it! You can’t escape from the death penalty anymore! I’m
filing an ‘SSS’ level case against you. Send him to the military court!”
Mance began to panic. “No, General! I didn’t know that he is a fake...”
Before he could finish his sentence, a soldier behind him slammed the butt of his rifle against his head, knocking
him out cold.
General North glared at Raider Group coldly. “Seal up the building,” he ordered. “Interrogate every staff member of
Raider Group. I’ll make sure to get rid of anyone who’s involved in Mance Raider’s unlawful businesses!”
The tycoons who attended the opening ceremony of Raider Group began to panic.
Even if they had been innocent, attracting the unwanted attention of General North would definitely affect their
businesses, one way or another.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStupid Mance Raider! He got us all into trouble.
Emily, on the other hand, was absolutely horrified.
As the fiancée of Mance Raider, she would be a prime suspect of the military.
After all, she had been sneaked out of her prison cell by Mance Raider before her time was up.
The Hintons from Riverdale felt hopeless about their situation.
They had seen the warning signs, and yet they decided that it was a good idea to replace Nancy with Emily.
The whole family would face charges for sure!
Aaron turned to Michael and slapped him across the face out of anger.
“You’re the one who got us all into this mess!”
Seeing that his business there was done, General North waved his hand and yelled, “Retreat!”
However, his gaze landed on Linton Group just across the street.
“How many Linton Groups are there in Oakheart City?” he asked. “Are they affiliated with Reinz Pharmaceutical by
any chance?”
“There is only one Linton Group in Oakheart City, Sir!” his assistant replied. “They do have business ties with Reinz
Pharmaceutical.”
