Schubert Barton brought along thousands of the Barton family's subordinates and besieged the surreptitious 'factory' in front of them.
He asked one of his subordinates, "But isn't this just an ordinary abandoned factory?"
"Are y'all sure that my sons are detained inside this building, and Nathan is currently inside this place too?"
That person immediately answered, "Yes, sir. We have already looked into it. I am sure your sons are held captive here."
"Nathan Cross is inside too!"
Schubert Barton gazed at the tall fence and the locked gates ahead. It looked like nothing but an old factory. Then he said coldly, "Prepare yourselves to break in, people. Kill anyone you see and rescue my sons."
A few of Barton's family's most capable servants, as well as a thousand Robed Guards, who were armed with sabers,
shouted in unison, "Charge!"
They were all geared up to intrude the place by force.
Whoosh!
The 'old factory' had its gates rolling open slowly.
Next, Nathan Cross appeared from the gates along with Franklin Wilson and the deadly trio - Fang, Heptakill, and Destroyer. Besides that, Colin Dunne and the Elite Eight were with them too. Soon, they were joined by even more people.
Today, Nathan Cross was only wearing something casual.
In fact, the trio, as well as Colin Dunne and the Elite Eight, were not in their usual camouflage uniforms that had badges pinned on.
Everyone was in their casual wear.
Franklin Wilson, the commander-in-chief of the army in Channing, also didn't put on anything flashy.
Therefore, he was only in his most basic uniform at the General's birthday celebration.
Firstly, he didn't want to steal the limelight away from the General; secondly, it was easier for him to hang around everyone with his simplest uniform on.
Schubert Barton had not expected that Nathan Cross to come out and meet him himself. He noticed that some of the people in the crowd behind him were clad in military uniform and were a bit startled.
