Chapter 165
Bang! Bang! Bang! A string of gunshots pierced through the air.
The 200 over soldiers from the Dragonfury Special Forces fired concurrently.
With all of them firing one shot each, the effect was like a prolonged gunshot.
If not listened to carefully, one could have easily mistaken it for the sound of thunder.
The single shots fired by each of the 200 Dragonfury soldiers were more than enough to extinguish all of Adalwolf’s men. The 20 odd men fell dead almost at once when the shots sounded.
Every one of them had more than one gunshot wounds on their bodies.
These members of the Wolves mercenary force did not even get the chance to pull their triggers before they were all shot to death.
Overlooking the bodies of his enemies, Colin Dunne spoke without any emotion in his voice. “We have zero tolerance for those who dare offend our country.”
“Clean up the battlefield and retreat swiftly. Make sure not to alarm the General nor the residents nearby!”
“Yes, Captain!” The soldiers from the Dragonfury Special Forces answered in unison.
The bodies of Adalwolf and his men were dragged away speedily.
Traces of blood which had been spilt all over the ground were also removed.
Colin Dunne and his subordinates exited the scene in their container trucks without delay, as if the rainy night marred by bloodshed was just an illusion.
Nathan Cross, who had just finished dinner in a fast-food restaurant with his wife and daughter, suddenly received a message from Colin Dunne. The man texted, All cleared, everything is back to normal now.
The rain gradually subsided.
Nathan smiled at Penny and Queenie and said, “The rain isn’t so heavy now, let’s go home.”
“Hooray! We can finally go home,” the little girl cheered.
Nathan Cross drove his family back.
When they reached the Riverside Garden, he dropped his family at the door. He then informed his wife that he had something to handle and had to head off for a while.
Penny Smith did not think too much about it and took her daughter home. Before she left, she reminded her husband not to stay out too late.
“Sure, I’ll be back soon,” Nathan Cross answered the woman warmly.
After Penny Smith and his little girl entered the house, Nathan Cross walked out of the residential estate.
There were three vehicles—a black Mercedes-Benz and two jeeps—waiting for him outside the main gate of Riverside Garden.
Thomas Dunn was seated in the black Mercedes-Benz, while the jeeps carried Colin Dunne and the Elite Eight.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“General!”
Thomas Dunn, Colin Dunne and the Elite Eight got out of their respective vehicles immediately when they saw Nathan Cross, and greeted him respectfully.
Nathan Cross asked in a cold voice, “Do we know who were the mercenaries engaged by?”
“We’ve already found out that it was Jon Xander, tyrant of the South, who hired them,” Colin Dunne answered.
Nathan Cross let out a cold harrumph. “Bring him to me!”
“Yes, Sir! I’ll see to it right away,” Colin Dunne replied with a salute.
Inside one of the private rooms at the Wigston Club, Jon Xander was making out with a young lady. Ambient music filled the room while a champagne tower reflected the dazzling dim lights from a disco ball that was twirling above.
Jon Xander pushed the lady on the sofa and dismissed his subordinates who were also present in the room, with a wave.
“Don’t disturb me or let anyone come in here unless it’s Adalwolf coming with good news telling me that he has killed Nathan Cross,” he instructed his men.
“Yes, boss!”
Will and the other few men who were in the private room left quickly, knowing it was going to be a battlefield for their boss and the C-list actress.
With a suggestive grin on his face, Jon Xander said to the young actress, “Baby, here I come!”
Like a hungry wolf, the man pounced on the pretty lady and starting kissing her all over. The room was soon filled with the actress’s moans.
However, barely minutes after Will and the guys left, they retreated into the private room again, behaving like they were under some form of voodoo.
When Jon Xander turned around and saw his men back inside the room, there was an obvious look of displeasure on his face. “Didn’t I say no one is allowed to come in?” The man yelled angrily.
Right after Jon Xander finished his sentence, he noticed that his subordinates were not alone. There was another man who followed them in and was pointing a muzzle at Will’s forehead. That man was Thomas Dunn.
Thomas Dunn was accompanied by a group of his underlings, who were all armed with pistols. In total, there were more than ten pistols aimed at Jon Xander and his men.
Jon Xander’s expression changed drastically, as he realized that Will and the rest were being forced back at gunpoint by Thomas Dunn’s party.
Thomas Dunn’s gaze landed on Jon Xander, and he saw that the man had pinned a young lady. Thomas Dunn’s curled his lips slightly as he said nonchalantly, “Jon Xander, my Young Master would like to meet you.”
