Hollie sighed as she stood, “Xander, I told you a woman like her will be a terrible wife. You refused to listen to me.
Forget it, let’s just cancel the wedding. Security! Break their legs and throw them into the river outside the city. As
for those two garbage collectors, throw them in the waste treatment plant in the Western Pacific Ocean.”
The trained security team soon swarmed over to surround Zeke.
Sage was stunned.
Oh no. He’s doomed!
This man could end up killing us and my parents!
She hurriedly begged Hollie, “I- I’ll kneel to serve you. You can make me do anything. Please. Please let my
brother’s comrade and my parents off. I’ll do anything you want.”
Hollie sneered, “Sorry. You’re filthy, and I can’t bear to drink the wine you just held.”
What do I do now? Sage was in despair.
Even Joshua and Eleanor were anxious and at a loss.
Hollie sneered, “Why are you standing there? Move now!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe security was about to make a move when Zeke shouted, “Hold on!”
Xander put on his prosthetics and stood up. He sneered, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid of us now? Get on your
knees, break your legs, and beg for mercy. Maybe then I’ll spare your life.”
Zeke ignored Xander as he turned to Sage and said, “Sage, I prepared a gift for you today, but it seems like I won’t
be giving it to you. Forget it. I’ll gift it to you as a present then.”
He glanced at the time. “It should be here any moment now.”
He glanced at the time. “It should be here any moment now.”
The crowd was speechless.
You’re about to die, but yet you’re still thinking about a gift.
What an idiot.
Xander cursed, “F*ck! An insolent fool. Kill him!”
The security guard took a step before a loud engine sounded outside.
A fleet of military cars was parked in front of the hotel.
The door swung open, and a troop of armed soldiers in camouflage gear stepped out to form into two lines.
“The general has arrived!”
The voices of the soldiers were louder than thunder.
Soon after, a military officer with a large build led the troops into the hall.
When the crowd saw the officer, their faces paled.
It was the general of Atheville’s military, Paul Hunt!
Why is Hunt here?
It couldn’t be Xander who invited him here, could it?
The power the Moore family had was terrifying.
When Paul stood, the guests did not dare sit either. They hurriedly stood up to welcome him.
Both Xander and Hollie were curious.
Why is Hunt here?
Is he here for the wedding?
The Moore family wasn’t worthy of inviting him.
The two hurried over. “General, you’re gracing us with your presence. Please, take a seat.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPaul ignored the two as he led the troops over to Sage.
“May I ask if you’re Frederick Walters’ sister, Sage Walters?”
The crowd held their breaths.
Paul must be here to investigate Sage’s brother, the deserter.
Xander and Hollie were overjoyed.
Great! We don’t need to do anything. Hunt will deal with them himself.
Sage nodded as she trembled. “I... I’m his sister.”
Abruptly, Paul shouted, “Salute!”
He and his troops immediately stood to attention and saluted.
Their actions were in unison, and their voices were loud and clear.
The crowd froze. What’s going on? It’s nothing like what we thought it’d be.
Even Sage was stunned by their actions.
“M- Mr. Hunt, w- what are you doing?”
Paul swiftly took out a red certificate and handed it to her with both hands.
“Mr. Frederick Walters has defended the country and was brave to charge in the front-lines. He died for the country.
He’s a martyr.”
