Chapter 1150
Meanwhile, Maxine swung open the door of a secluded villa located in Cansington's Military Region.The villa was surrounded by numerous fully armed soldiers.
The moment she tried to walk out, several soldiers stood in her path. They kneeled on the groundabruptly and pleaded, "Ms. Maxine, please don't make this difficult for us. Our superiors have given usour orders and failure to execute them will result in us receiving the death penalty. If we let you leavetoday, we'll be punished by military law. In the best-case scenario, we'd be stripped of our rank anddismissed from the army. In the worst-case scenario, we'll be subject to the death penalty.”
When she heard this, Maxine furrowed her brows worriedly.
Her acupoints had been unsealed since last night, and she wanted to leave but had come face to thesoldiers who were begging her to comply out of fear of losing their own lives.
At that moment, Thea also walked out of the villa and also saw the kneeling soldiers.
Since she had undergone military training, she understood a soldier's sworn duty was to be bound tothe orders given to them. In essence, they were simply acting according to their superior’s wishes.
"Call the Blithe King. I need to see him,” Thea ordered the men.novelbin
One of the kneeling soldiers replied hesitantly, "Ms. Thea, we can't do that for you. He has gone for afield inspection and is not expected to return soon.”
Thea's face hardened. She raised her hand and concentrated powerful energy in her palm as shegrowled menacingly at the soldiers, “Are you going to do it or not?! I'll kill you with one hit if you don't doas I say!”
The soldier kneeling on the ground chose his words cautiously, "Even if you threaten me with death, Icannot simply demand for his return.”
Maxine pulled Thea aside and promptly dissuaded her, “Forget it, Thea.”
Thea shook her off and replied anxiously, "Then are we just going to stay trapped in this place and letJames die alone?!”
‘What else are we supposed to do?" Maxine replied helplessly. If she had the chance she would haveleaped at it immediately but she could not justify sacrificing the soldiers.
Thea said, ‘The Blithe King must be in the military region! He's probably just using it as an excuse notto see us. I must meet with him as soon as possible!"
With that said, she rushed outside the villa.
The soldier kneeling on the ground immediately pulled out his gun and aimed it at his head. "Ms. Thea,please don't make this any more complicated than it has to be. Our superiors have issued us ourorders. We'll shoot ourselves in front of you if you take a single step outside.”
"Y-You...!!"
Thea trembled with anger.
Maxine dragged Thea away. “Calm down! We should figure out what to do inside first."
After being pulled into the house, Thea sat on the sofa fuming. Her face was red with anger as shehuffed, ‘What on earth is
James thinking?! How could he just trap us here? Is he worried that we'll be a burden to him?”
‘We're indeed liabilities in this situation. His enemy this time is overwhelmingly strong, and Jameshimself doesn't think he'll make it out alive. This is why he's worried we'll get hurt.”
‘What's the point of continuing to live without him? If he's going to die, then we might as well dietogether!” Thea said resolutely.
"Then, you'll have to find a way to leave this place," Maxine said calmly.
Maxine was not very concerned about life and death. She definitely was not afraid of dying. She wasworried about James as well and wanted to rush to Mt. Thunder to see how he was doing.
If she and Thea worked together, they could easily leave the villa. The only thing stopping them nowwas the soldiers that were threatening to take their own lives if they left.
Daniel reported to his superior inside the military region office," Commander, Ms. Thea, and Maxine arecausing a scene again, demanding that they must see you. The soldiers threatened to kill themselves ifthe two left and this has temporarily managed to stop them."
The Blithe King listened to Daniel's update and furrowed his brows.
"James really knows how to be a pain in my “ss. I'd better take a look to ensure nothing unexpectedhappens. Otherwise, it'll be hard to explain to James."
The Blithe King was at a loss.
He had been hiding for an entire day but was afraid that the two women would resort to extrememeasures in their desperation.
Moreover, he worried that his subordinates would really take their lives if it came down to it.
