Chapter 312

“W-What was that? Did you guys see anything? Samuel asked, trembling.

“A cannon! It was a cannonball!” screamed one of the henchmen. “The ceiling was hit by a cannon!”

A cannon?

Why would there be a cannon here?

Rumble, rumble.

Several helicopters slowly flew over and appeared in everyone’s sight.

Mounted to the helicopters were automatic cannons!

Samuel’s mind turned abuzz with chaos.

F***. The military’s here.

There’s a chance that we’d be arrested if our plan fails today.

He was still unaware that it was Zeke who had summoned the military.

What a joke. How could someone from the underground world ever be able to call for backup from the military?

It’s just my luck that they happened to be carrying out military exercises right now.

“Run! Run away! Don’t get yourselves caught,” Samuel bellowed.

The group began to rush out of the warehouse.

However, they soon returned immediately. “It’s over. We’re done for.”

Samuel had not stepped outside, so he did not know what was going on. “What’s happening outside?”

“Armored cars and tanks!” someone shouted. “We’ve been surrounded!”

W-What?

Samuel’s legs softened and he nearly slumped to the floor.

Fortunately, he managed to stand evenly, after supporting himself by the wall next to him.

Armored cars? Tanks? We’re surrounded?

S***! We’re just a bunch of thugs. What’s with the helicopters and tanks? Does that even make sense?

We’re not even worthy of such treatment!

“The river! Jump into the river and escape from there!” Samuel shouted while trying to conceal his intense fear.

The crowd returned to their senses and swarmed toward the window.

But the sight of the river disappointed them even more.

The river was already full of naval ships.

It was impossible to get out of this situation!

Samuel was so distraught that he sat on the ground. “It’s over. We’re completely done for...”

Zeke walked over and patted Samuel on his face. “Did you fall for my easy catch?”

Everyone’s petrified gaze fell upon Zeke.

Easy catch?

So this is what he meant earlier?

He arranged for all these guys to come over?

Samuel gulped. “You... You really gave General North a call?” he asked with an extremely shaky voice.

“These guys are General North’s men? W-Who the hell are you?

Zeke gave him a profound smile. “Make a guess.”

Samuel began to rack his brains.

There’s only one person who can command General North, and that is the Great Marshal!

Everyone knows that the Great Marshal is a Williams. This guy has the same last name. Could it be...

Samuel shut his eyes in disappointment as tears flowed down his face.

He was completely prepared to die.

How could he live after causing trouble for the Great Marshal?

That was as impossible as seeing the sun rise from the west.

Bang!

The door to the warehouse flew open.

Sole Wolf’s lieutenant barged in with his forces.

“Don’t move! Put your hands on your head and get on your knees, or we’ll shoot!”

The crowd had long given up, so they obeyed without any resistance.

Still, someone was upset enough to defend himself, “Why? Why are you capturing us?”

The lieutenant hesitated for a moment, before accusing, “Because you stole Pooh Bear’s honey!”

Silence ensued.

Zeke began to walk out of the warehouse with his hands behind his back.

Sole Wolf and his men were already standing outside, waiting to give their respects.

The moment Zeke walked out, everyone got down on one knee in an orderly fashion.

In the military, taking the knee symbolized the noblest of respect that one could ever pay.

The Great Marshal was a legendary icon to them.

It was their greatest honor to be able to take a knee for the Great Marshal.
