Chapter 962 A Phone Call
Anxiety roiling in his stomach, Jaime turned to his deputy and voiced the question on everyone's minds, "What happened? Why'sthe siren blaring in the middle of the night? Has a drill been arranged for Channing recently?"
The deputy was in the dark as well. Perplexity apparent on his face, he answered, "Not to my knowledge. According to the norm,we, the Armed Forces, would be the first to know about an air force training drill if it has been scheduled."
Jaime's face flushed with anger and bewilderment. "If that's the case, what set the siren off? Did the people in charge mess upand trigger it by accident, or are we in the midst of an emergency?"
The deputy hurriedly replied, ‘Til call the mayor's office to find out what's going on..."
Before he could make the call to grasp the situation, two fighter aircraft of the latest model appeared in the sky overhead.Both fighter jets were flying at a low altitude. The roar of their engines was deafening as they passed over the crowd.Following closely behind was the tut-tut-tut of chopper blades cutting through the air.
In the distance, the blinking lights of military helicopters speckled the night sky with flecks of white. A swarm of helicopters roseabove the skyline and headed towards Riverside like a cloud of doom.
Vroom!
A few light tanks designed for city defense purposes rolled up at Riverside. Main guns at the ready, the tanks steadily closed inon the villa.
Tailing the tanks were tens of armored jeeps equipped with high-speed machine guns, all of which were handled by skilledgunners. The barrels were aimed at Jaime and his soldiers, ready to shoot at command.
Clomp, clomp, clomp.
The sound of combat boots hitting the ground in unison echoed down the emptied roads as droves of soldiers wieldingsubmachine guns marched in from all sides.
The uniform footsteps, coupled with the intimidating aura surrounding the soldier, ignited awe and reverence among the masses.Jaime's little party was no exception. Wide-eyed and slack-jawed, they gaped at the incoming army.
Wade's face lost all color. He could not control the quivers that overtook his body as he stumbled over his words, "U-UncleJaime... They actually came. Nathan Cross actually summoned an entire army with just one phone call.”
Jaime, too, was aghast.
He felt all the strength leave his limbs. With perspiration beading his forehead, he muttered in a trembling voice, "How is thispossible? H-How could it be..."
At that moment, a command vehicle pulled up.
A middle-aged man stood on top of the vehicle, dressed in full military uniform and bearing the Major General's insignia. It wasFranklin Wilson.
He brought a military loudspeaker to his mouth and boomed, "Besiege the area!"
The soldiers, numbering in the twentythousands, moved with trained precision and agility. In a blink of an eye, the two divisionshad completely enclosed the Riverside area.
Franklin jumped off the command vehicle and landed nimbly on his feet, his swift actions belying his age. He jogged brisklytowards the source of the commotion.novelbin
