Before he could even make a sound, he had already turned into mush under those wheels.
Even his clothes and that hat of his were dragged several feet away by that SUV and ground into nothing before the SUV finally drove off.
“Stop him! Stop him!” the police from Zarain yelled out angrily at the sight of that.
Unfortunately, how could a bunch of losers like them be able to stop someone who was a high-ranking commander from the special forces like Devin? It did not take him long to disappear from their sight.
It was another half an hour later that Devin arrived at a quiet road outside of downtown before he finally came to a stop.
He was taking deep breaths with his hands clenching the wheel. At that moment, he seemed like a lone wolf forced to the edge. Veins popped on the back of his hands as he stared ahead with bloodshot eyes.
Emotions surged in his eyes as he tried to figure out how bad the situation was.
He then wondered what exactly Jonathan did when he was away in Jetroina for more than twenty days to have let things get so bad.
Ring… Ring…
Suddenly, the smartphone in the car rang.
He answered it immediately, feeling annoyed, “Hello?”
“Mr. Devin, thank you… for earlier…”
Surprisingly, it was a familiar voice coming from the phone.
Devin’s eyes widened, and he quickly asked, “Mark? Where are you?”
“I-It doesn’t matter where I am. Mr. Devin, the important thing now is that… they know that we’re looking for those arms dealers. T-They will be changing their plans after this and try to… try to rush the arms dealers to the military court. When that happens, the Jadesons would b-be ruined if those people admit to producing those firearms under the J-Jadesons’ orders.”
Mark stammered as he spoke. One could even feel how weak and in pain he was over the phone.
At that instance, Devin’s hands were shaking.
Not only was it because of the shocking news he had received from Mark, but also the sense he had of how terrible Mark’s condition must be.
It was obvious through each of Mark’s breaths that he was barely hanging on. It felt as though he would leave the Jadesons for good at any second.
“Where are you? Tell me now. I’ll go get you right away!” Devin yelled.
