Chapter 124 Get To Your Knees
“You’re not seeing things,” Jonathan answered, giving the incredulous Thierry an impassive look. “It’s me!”
“Mr. Goldstein!”
In a flash, Thierry’s eyes reddened as he fell to his knees before Jonathan with a resounding thud.
“Greetings, Sir! Thierry Cloutier of the Divine Dragon Guards in the Jazona Military District at your service!”
I’ve not seen Asura for a whole year! Some said he lost his life on the battlefield, and some said he retired and is living in seclusion in the mountains. Since his retirement, he has stopped interfering in worldly affairs. I never believed any of those rumors!
Indeed, Thierry had never believed in those rumors, as Asura had single-handedly led them to conquer the world. Someone as strong as Asura wouldn’t have died on the battlefield.
He found all the rumors absurd.
The sight of him getting on his knees stunned everyone into silence.
Everyone blinked in disbelief, especially Duncan and his subordinates. They wondered if they were seeing things.
Are we hallucinating? Is the top dog of the Divine Dragon Guards, the second in command in the Jazona Military District, who is only a rank below the King of War, kneeling before a young man in his twenties? How is this possible? He has never even knelt before the King of War!
“Remain on your knees,” Jonathan ordered in a glacial tone. “Look what the Special Forces have turned into under your lead. They have the guts to point their rifles at me!”
“What?” Thierry’s eyes opened wide in shock. “T-They pointed their guns at you?”
They must be crazy! Bunch of insolent fools! How dare they point their rifles at Asura? It will only take one punch from Asura to wipe them out!
“Who the f*ck pointed their guns at Mr. Goldstein? Come out right now!” Thierry turned at his shoulder, his gaze spitting fire. He didn’t bother concealing his rage.
“Commander Cloutier, that would be me. I was the one who issued the order.” Duncan had no choice but to step out and own up to his mistake.
After all, he was the one who had brought his men here and ordered them to aim their weapons at Jonathan.
There was no one else to blame.
“You gave the order? How dare you?” Thierry shot Duncan a hostile look before whipping out a gun from his waist and aiming it at Duncan’s head. “I could shoot you in your head right now!”
Duncan instantly broke out in a cold sweat at Thierry’s sudden action. “Commander Cloutier…”
He knew Thierry would fire the shot, being the irritable man he was.
If Commander Cloutier flies into a fit of rage, he’ll shoot me without hesitation!
“Commander Cloutier, it’s a misunderstanding,” Duncan hastily explained, his face drained of color. “It was Chief Barnstone who called me and requested for the Special Forces’ help to capture a terrorist. I only deployed the troops under his request.”
“Utter nonsense! Mr. Goldstein isn’t a terrorist!” Thierry bellowed angrily. He was so fuming mad that he nearly shot his foolish subordinate.
