Chapter 52
Lord Ray squeezed his face as he faced them as he asked in confusion, “Who the heck are you! How the fuck did you walk in? What the heck are the guards at the gate doing?”
He then raised up his head. In an instant, all the remaining guards surrounding them raised their guns at the intruders.
Mr. Moretti stepped forward and raised his ID card. “I am the constable of this town, the head of police. Nothing going on here is illegal, so turn back and leave.”
Marcus scoffed and said, “Nothing is illegal? You are trafficking underage girls! I just witnessed you buying a girl, and she even got abused. And you say nothing illegal?”.
Natalie Added, “You are supposed to be protecting this town, catching criminal, but you become one!”.
Mr. Moretti chuckled. “What is happening here is none of your business. If you wish to walk out of here alive, I repeat: shut up and leave like nothing happened.”
Natalie then chimed in, “I can’t believe you can be this cruel and wicked. Well, this will be the last day of freedom for both of you. I will personally see to it that you both suffer till death!”
Lord Ray laughed out hysterically. “Hahaha! I love your nonsense! I will kill you both and sell your organs -extra money for me! Boys! Gun them down!”
His men clicked their guns, fingers on the triggers, ready to shoot.
They were about to shoot when Marcus’s men stormed into the building and swiftly surrounded Lord Ray’s group. They outnumbered them significantly and had their guns trained on the traffickers. Shock rippled through the room.
Lord Ray looked around frantically and realized his men were completely trapped. Even on the high shipping containers above, Marcus’s operatives stood ready, boxing them in from every angle.
Lord Ray’s face twisted with rage. He yanked out his pistol and pointed it at Marcus’s forehead. “Tell them to drop their guns right now,” he snarled, “or I’ll blow your head off!”
Marcus didn’t flinch. He stepped forward, pressing his skull even harder into the barrel. “Try it,” he said coldly. “You won’t survive either.”
At that moment, Mr. Moretti pulled out his phone and quickly dialed. “Hey, get here immediately with ten tactical troops. We have major criminals here-Code Red. Come right now!” He ended the call and smirked at Lord Ray.
“When they arrive, I will tag you and your entire crew as kidnappers and traffickers. Your men won’t be able to stop them. And you dare not touch us-we are government officials.”
Lord Ray smirked back, but tension filled the air. Marcus scoffed, “Really?”
“You still have time to drop your weapons and leave peacefully,” Moretti warned.

Just then, a deep, authoritative voice cut through the standoff. “What the heck is happening here?
Everyone turned toward the entrance. A tall man in full military uniform stood there, his presence
instantly commanding the room. It was Commander Lee.
Mr. Moretti immediately recognized him and shouted, “Commander Lee?”
Commander Lee was popular and everyone in army posts knew him. Mr. Moretti gulped hard as he immediately reacted and saluted sharply. “Commander Lee, sir!”
Commander Lee’s stern gaze swept the warehouse, his deep, authoritative voice booming. “Explain what is happening here.”
Mr. Moretti’s face paled. He knew he was done. If Commander Lee discovered the truth, his career-and life-would end. “I’m here on inspection, sir. When I found out these criminals were trafficking girls, I immediately called for backup.” He pointed accusingly at Lord Ray, trying desperately to pin everything
on him.
Lord Ray’s face twisted in fury. “Here to inspect? We are in this together! What are you saying?”
“No, no, we aren’t!” Moretti snapped back. “Shut up! The troops are on the way, and it’s over for you!” He acted as if he had never been part of the scheme.
Commander Lee scoffed, crossing his arms. “I was here all along. I heard everything, and I know you are working with this criminal.”
Mr. Moretti gulped visibly, sweat beading on his forehead. Just then, the backups arrived with roaring
engines.
Multiple armored cars screeched to a halt outside, unloading tactical troops in full gear-helmets, rifles, and heavy weapons. They had already been called by Commander Lee long before Moretti’s panicked dial. The team leader rushed forward and saluted Commander Lee crisply.
Commander Lee’s voice rang out with steel. “I want you to apprehend these criminals. If anybody tries to
act smart, kill them.”
Lord Ray’s men, seeing themselves heavily outnumbered by Marcus’s operatives plus the fresh wave of elite troops, had no chance.
They immediately started dropping their weapons with clatters on the concrete floor Lord Ray shouted desperately, “What are you doing? Fight back, you cowards!”
Marcus stepped forward calmly, drawing his gun.
Boom! Boom!
He shot Lord Ray in both legs. “Yaaah!” Lord Ray cried out in agony, collapsing to his knees as blood pooled beneath him.
Boom! Boom!

Marcus fired again, shattering both palms. Lord Ray screamed even louder, writhing on the ground in excruciating pain, his voice breaking into raw howls.
