Damon and Denise stared wide-eyed at the scene before them. When they came to Channing, they had used their connections to butter up the Channing authorities.
So, why are Russell Crow and Jerry Mcgrady openly leading the special forces against them to support Nathan Cross?
Damon began to realize that he had a tricky situation on his hands.
Just then, a few more jeeps with military troop carriers made a dramatic appearance.
A large number of heavily armed elite fighters assembled within a matter of seconds.
A brawny colonel, whose features were indiscernible due to the layer of camouflage paint covering his face, emerged from the vehicle. With his army boots crunching on the ground, he made his way towards Nathan and saluted. "Here to report. Dragonfury Special Forces. Arrived at designated combat position."
The Smiths were flabbergasted.
And so were Damon and Denise!
What the heck is going on? Not just the police special forces are here, but even the military special forces!
Before everyone could recover from their shock, there was another rumbling noise coming from a distance.
Four heavy tanks with large machine guns rumbled along the street in an imposing manner.
Dozens of armored trunks trailed behind, followed by a never-ending convoy of military vehicles.
The leading tank had its turret open, and a burly commander was visible from the waist up. The man who stood as straight as a rod was none other than the Major General.
It was the commander-in-chief of Channing's military base, Franklin Wilson, who had come in person.
Suddenly, there was a whirring sound coming from above.
Five helicopters were hovering in the sky, with their machine guns aimed at Damon and his people stationed on the ground.
Franklin Wilson saluted Nathan from his position on the tank, then loudly stated, "I heard that someone was bullying the Smiths, so I brought along thirty thousand soldiers to provide assistance!"
Nathan looked at Damon and Denise, then said with a smile, "Okay, that's all of them. We can begin now. Bring it."
Only then did Damon regain his senses. His face was pale and clammy with sweat.
