The Almighty Supreme Commander

Chapter 5

Having the military men in the room with him, Gabriel found his confidence again and threw Wade a cold glance.

“It’s a good thing you’re here, lieutenant. We were just about to call regarding these two weasels who do not know their place.”

“I don’t know which division they belong to, but since every soldier in North City is under the Supreme Commander, I suggest you report them to him as soon as possible.”

“If news gets out that there are insolent people like them around, the people will get agitated and our country’s enemies will use it to their advantage.”

He spoke so calmly and convincingly that the guests couldn’t help nodding their heads in agreement.

After all, Wade and Jordan had crashed the auction just when they were about to find out the identity of someone important.

They wouldn’t let that slide since it came from lowlife punks like them.

Anna Hutton sat down and glanced at the time on her wristwatch warily.

“Before you report them to the Supreme Commander, you should break their legs first.”

When she didn’t hear a response from them, she raised her head to look at them and raised a brow, “You can do that much, can’t you? You’re able to feed and stay alive thanks to the heavy taxes and donations everyone in this room sends to you.”

Katherine, who had been quiet the whole time, panicked and tugged Wade.

“Wade, there’s an exit door just behind the stage. If you run now, we can make it out in time.”

When he didn’t respond, she grew panicked even more thinking he was stricken with fear and tugged him even harder.

“Wade. Wade, are you listening to me?”

Wade lowered his eyes to look at her.

His eyes which had been cold a second ago, instantly became gentle.

“Don’t be so scared little sister. Wasn’t it just a few minutes ago I told you to leave everything that happens now in my hands?”

“All those who treated you less than a dog for the past seven years, we will treat even worse.”

Katherine shook her head vigorously in reply.

“No, you don’t understand. Those men, they are brutal. Because of the generous contribution the four great families makes to the Supreme Commander every year, he lends his men to them on occasions like this.”

“The Supreme Commander lends them his men?” Wade couldn’t stop himself from smiling in amusement.

Before Katherine could reply, Anna butted in with a snort, “Yes, don’t you know him? How could someone in the military not know the most powerful man in North City?”

Gabriel also sneered. “You don’t know the most powerful man in North City? Now I know how you’ve been able to remain alive for so long.”

“It’s said the Supreme Commander always leads the battles. If your claims of being placed at the forefront of every battle was true, then you’d be familiar with him since he leads the battle by running ahead of everyone else.”

“Have you even been in the army for the past seven years? You do know saying you’ve been to the army when you haven’t is a blasphemy against the Supreme Commander, don’t you?”

He stopped talking and stepped to the side, pretending to slump down his shoulders in sadness.

“The Supreme Commander is held in high esteem by majority of people in North City. Especially his men.”

“Now, they were just going break your legs and let you off, but hearing that you claim to have been in the military when you haven’t is something these men can’t forgive.”

Taking his words for it, supporters and huge fans of the Supreme Commander took his words for it and yelled angrily one after the other.

“Lieutenant, beat him to a pulp and leave his body half for dead.”

“We were enjoying the auction when they suddenly came in, they deserve to be beaten until they can no longer move!”

“They shouldn’t be allowed to leave this room in one peacet!”

Despite the commotion in the room, Wade turned to Jordan who was already cracking his knuckles.

“Jordan, these people claim to be from the Supreme Commander. I fear I have to trouble you to find out if they’re telling the truth.”

“It’s no a trouble, Surpreme Commander.”

Hearing their short conversation, Katherine’s eyes shifted, then bulged slightly in confusion before it trembled in disbelief.

Jordan merely flexed his arms and unhurriedly began closing the distance between him and the men in military uniform.

“Division and batch number?”

The man with the two fire symbols felt a chill run down his spine and shuddered fearfully, but quickly realized himself.

To hide his shame, he turned to the men behind him and gritted his teeth angrily, while pointing a shaky finger at Jordan.

“W-what? Oh my! Is this punk talking to me? With that condescending tone? Hey, do you want to die so badly?”

In response to his question, Jordan took a step forward and stared into his face, repeating sternly, “Division and batch number?”

The man hissed and angrily rolled up his sleeves then waved his hands threateningly at Jordan.

“You’re so annoying! I won’t stand back and let my guys handle you. Come here so I can kill you myself!”

“Didn’t you hear me? I said come here so I can kill you myself, you stupid idiot!”

Thump!

He had only taken three steps closer to Jordan when he leisurely stuck out his foot and tripped him.

The man fell and almost slammed his face against the floor when Jordan pulled him back up by his hair.

The man grimaced in pain and tried to hold Jordan’s hand, but Jordan tightened his grip on the hair.

Frustrated and in severe pain, the man desperately threw around some kicks and punches, but none hit Jordan.

With that one hair grabbing a fistful of his hair, Jordan pulled him off the floor and stared into his face flatly.

“Aren’t you in the army? Why is it so hard to state your division and batch number? If you don’t start talking, I’ll begin by yanking out this fistful of your hair!”

In terrible pain and feeling utterly humiliated, the man turned and lashed out at his men, “Fools, don’t just stand aside while I’m being beaten, get this bastard away from me!”

The men nodded and rushed towards Jordan all at once.

In a split-second, Jordan stretched his palm towards them and slammed it into their throats one after the other.

Instantly, all six men dropped to the floor on their knees clutching their throats with both hands.

A deep, mocking laughter suddenly filled the room as Wade laughed his lungs out.

As everyone turned to look at him, he stopped laughing and spoke up bluntly, “Didn’t you say these are the Supreme Commander’s men?”

“Men who risk their lives everyday fighting to keep North City safe won’t be down on their knees gasping for their breaths so soon.”

“Since the Supreme Commander’s men aren’t these weak, then could it be these men are fake? Did you hire them to say they are the commander’s men?”
