Chapter 960 Not Fit To Apprehend Me
The present reservists were befuddled when they heard Nathan reproach their leader. Their expressions shifted perceptibly asthey turned to look at Jaime.
Nathan is right! They internally agreed.
The Armed Forces were only responsible for militia formation and management. The department had no liberty to make its owndecisions, let alone deploy an entire battalion on an arrest mission.
The fact that Nathan could remain unperturbed in the face of an ambush was jarring to Jaime. However, the latter was evenmore surprised that Nathan was familiar with the Armed Forces’ extent of power as it demonstrated his understanding of thehierarchy within the military.novelbin
Even so, he was still a Lieutenant Colonel at the end of the day. It would take more than a few words to rattle him.
Jaime retorted with a smirk, "I'm not obligated to explain the inner workings of the military to you. Right now, you are beingarrested on the grounds of suspected treason due to leaking Top Secret information. You have two choices -either you surrenderright now, or I'll have the soldiers beat you unconscious and drag you out of here like a dead mutt. Which one do you prefer?”
The corners of Nathan's lips curled up in amusement. "You're not fit to apprehend me!"Jaime and Wade exchanged glances before guffawing at his remark.
The latter snickered, "Uncle Jaime, this is really the first time I've heard such an absurd remark. You're the Lieutenant Colonel ofthe Armed Forces, and you're in charge of all the reservists. There's literally a whole battalion of soldiers here awaiting yourorders, but he still has the audacity to say that you're not fit to apprehend him!"
With a bone-chilling smile, Jaime mocked Nathan, "You must be completely drunk if that's what you truly believe. Had you had afew crumbs with your drinks, you
wouldn't be so delusional right now!""Seize him and take him away!" He ordered.The present reservists prepared to charge forward once again.
However, before they could move, an orotund voice boomed from behind, "Halt your actions! Mr. Cross is right - none of youhave the right to capture him!"
Jaime and his subordinates were surprised and infuriated by the newcomer. Bristling with annoyance, they turned in unison toface the source of that voice.
There stood the Elite Eight, led by Colin Dunne."Who are you guys?" Jaime questioned stonily.
Wade recognized Colin as one of Nathan's subordinates. Fuming, he screeched, "Uncle Jaime, this is the guy who killed all myunderlings. He's the one who picked up the phone back then. They're Nathan's
accomplices in the murder!"Amenacing grin spread across Jaime's face. "Perfect, then we'll arrest them all at once!"
Colin was unruffled by his words and said impassively, "You're far from capable of arresting any of us. Open your eyes wide andtake a good look at this.”
With that said, Colin flung his hand forward.
Jaime's vision blurred momentarily. An object slapped him across his face with a crisp sound, leaving behind a stinging pain onhis cheek.
He instinctively caught the object and glanced down at it. His jaw fell when he realized that it was an identification card, or, to beprecise, a military identification card.
What?Jaime's eyes seemed to bulge out of their sockets as he gaped at the card in hishand.
At the sight of Colin publicly humiliating their Lieutenant Colonel, the reservists cocked their rifles and aimed the barrels at Colin.A few soldiers who were more aggressive in nature sprinted ahead, brandishing their firearms as they prepared to knock him outwith the rifle butt.
"Wait!" Jaime's shouted hastily.The reservists screeched to a halt and looked at Jaime with confusion in their eyes.
The Lieutenant Colonel was still reeling back from the shock of this revelation. He appraised Colin and commented, "I can'tbelieve you're a military officer too. You sure don't look like it. | wonder what your rank is and what background you have."
With this, he began to scrutinize the military identification card.Name: Colin Dunne
