She turned to him and laughed dryly. “W-what? What we told you is what is shown on the surveillance camera. Do you really believe this little girl over five full grown adults?” Wade shifted his gaze to her with the most strange look. “I’m a military man, why would I believe a child’s words about a matter like this so easily?” “I can’t take the boy away without proof that he did what he’s being accused of. If the public finds out I punished an innocent young child without checking the facts, the military will be in trouble.” “You do know North City has enemies surrounding it. If they hear citizens are having problem with the military, they will seize the opportunity to attack.” “We wouldn’t want some strangers coming into our country to kill us, would we?” Upon hearing him, the three women sucked in a deep breath. Not because of what he said about neighboring enemy countries, but about him checking the surveillance footages. With such a concrete reason, the management would de
But that thought only lasted for a moment as a crisp sound filled the air. Smack! It was the short female staff slapping one of the women. She was fuming in rage as she pulled her hair roughly. “Over the past two years, you’ve pushed me around however you like. You pay me, but you order me around like I am your slave! I’ve looked forward to doing this for a long time!” The woman who was slapped shrieked loudly in pain and held the hand on her hair to lessen the pain she was feeling. “What do you think you’re doing? How dare you lay your filthy hands on…”Smack! The staff slapped her again and gripped her hair even tighter. “Stop talking so much. Didn’t you hear the military man? If I don’t do as he says, who knows what he’ll do to me.” “If you were the one in my shoes, wouldn’t you slap me as soon as he asked you to? So don’t complain and just keep your cheeks properly so i can slap them.” Seeing this, the second staff grew confident and pulled the woman closest to her by th
Meanwhile, in the Winslow Residence, Anselm and Hazel Winslow stood behind a tall and slender woman. She shielded them behind her while looking down apologetically as those in her family raged on. “This little bastard of yours has once again caused trouble. This time, he even involved a military man and made a huge mess!” “Our Winslow family has had a spotless reputation for years if not for you and your bastards, but we’ve let you stay with us because you’ve vowed to do whatever we ask you to do, but this we can no longer condone!” “The children playground’s director reached out to all his friends in the military, but none of them knows a man like the one those wealthy women described. Who knows which man that obnoxious little thing brought to cause such a mess!” “Because of this, our Winslow family is in trouble with very important people. Merely apologizing won’t fix any of it!” “Why are we still sitting around when we should’ve dragged them out and thrown them out of the gat
On the borders of Virelia, a part of North City designated solely to the army, five thousand troops clad in their dark brown army uniform lined up from the beginning of the 120 acres of land to the end. They stood at ease, with their nose held high up in the air and their eyes fixed determinedly ahead on them. Standing in front of them with his eyes fixed on a book was a tall and lanky man clad in a black t-shirt and military pant who looked to be in his late 20s. The neatly trimmed stubble close to his skin makes him appear rugged, yet polished looked majestic with an unbeatable air of authority swelling around him.A man in the same military clothes as the troops soon hurried over to his side and stretched an envelope towards him, his face lowered to the ground in a bow. “Supreme Commander, someone sent you this six hours ago.”Wade Wilmer didn’t pause what he was reading. After a while, he raised his eyes to look at the man and passed along the book he had been reading before
The auctioneer went on to speak ever so enthusiastically, “Any man who buys her, will not just take her home, but will be buying their way into the prestigious Wilmer family!” A ripple of excitement went through the crowd as countless men, both young and old, single and married, instantly sat and fed their eyes on her exposed skin. Her clothes were barely long enough to cover her private parts, let alone the rest of her skin, so their eyes had a lot to take in. Seeing the anticipation in their eyes, Anna Hutton smiled and crossed her leg on top the other, then leaned back on her seat. Gabriel Wilmer sat beside her without an iota of emotion as he stared at Ketherine Wilmer whose bright eyes were anxiously looking around. While the excitement for Katherine continued soaring, the auctioneer smacked his lips together and continued. “The starting bid for her is 2 million dollars.” As soon as the words left his mouth mouth, someone raised it. “2 million and one.” “2 million, five
The guests erupted in rage and glared hard at the people who had just stopped them from almost finding out the identity of the bidder. “Who are these brats? Why didn’t the guards outside stop them from coming in?” “They’re in military clothes, yet they do not know where they’re supposed to be and where they shouldn’t. What have they been learning all these years in the army!” “Someone hurry up and call security to throw them out. Once this is over, the hotel should write to the government to have these two immediately removed from the army!” Wade couldn’t be bothered by them and just walked towards the stage, Jordan following after him as he glared back at the guests. Everyone in attendance were businessmen and businesswomen. Hence, no matter how angry they were with them, none could muster the courage to step in front of them for fear they’d get beaten up. Wade got to be stage and glanced at the auctioneer coldly. The man felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously s
As soon as he heard that, Julian Powell, Gabriel Wilmer’s assistant, suddenly felt a strong attachment to life and didn’t dare to take a step forward. Maybe it was the scary resting face the man with Wade had on or the authority that he knew came with the military uniform he had on. The corners of Gabriel’s lips spasmed in anger. “What are you doing? Do you think you can now talk back to me just because you’re putting on a military uniform?” Wade remained upright, his back as straight as a ruler as he let out a faint, but chilly smile. “If you already know, why do you still ask? Did you become a fool when I left?” Gabriel and everyone else was totally taken aback by his direct insult. Many of them in this room didn’t even know the Wilmer family had two sons. When they realized this person who crashed the auction had the last name Wilmer, they were confused. But they quickly realized the reason not many people knew of his existence was obviously because he was his older brothe
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 shou
