"Dad, I know where Bart and the others are. They have been arrested by the military," The man who was in his black leather jacket spoke, loud and clear.
Vance and the others brightened up when they saw the man. The man was none other than Jaxon Schulz - Vance Schulz's son.
Jaxon was a big cheese of the Schulz family and held office as the mayor of Brimmopolis.
Vance was both surprised and delighted to see his son back from Brimmopolis. He rose to his feet and strode towards Jaxon. "Jaxon, when did you come back?"
Jaxon smiled faintly. "Dad, I'm taking my annual leave. I learned that something has happened in Alberesque, so I decided to come back and have a look."
'Tm happy to see you at home! You're here just in time!" Vance grinned from ear to ear and poured out all his worries. "Nathan Cross has defeated our men with his fighting skills. Not only that, but he has also gone against the Schulz family several times with the support of Franklin Wilson, the mayor general."
Vance let out a sigh and continued, "Tonight, he has even instructed the military to arrest Bart and the others. We're in dire straits, but luckily, you've come back!"
Jaxon smiled slightly and assured his father, "Dad, don't worry. I have an acquaintance with Zach Hill, the commander-in-chief of the South Military. I need only to give him one phone call. The military will immediately release Bart and the others and send Nathan to us, with his limbs all tied up."
The military will do as he says with just one phone call!
All Schulz family members had their eyes full of admiration as they cheered for Jaxon. Vance too was proud of his son.
"Hello, Mr. Schulz!" Haruto came forward and greeted Jaxon politely.
Before this, the Schulz family was the one who flattered Haruto. Now, it was the latter who wished to please Jaxon Schulz.
Jaxon responded to Haruto with a slight nod. Being the mayor of Brimmopolis, his identity allowed him to treat Haruto anyway as he pleased, even though Haruto was a tycoon who owned a huge company in Japan.
"When will you call the military and ask them to release Bart?" Vance asked smilingly.
"Bart is high-fed, living a luxurious life all these years. I bet he can't stand the poor treatment after being arrested. I'll give General Hill a call now," Jaxon answered with a faint smile.
All of them were full of anticipation, including Haruto and the others from Japan.
