Chapter 9 Shall Be Executed
The loud noise shocked everyone on the scene.
Just when they instinctively looked toward the direction of the sound, they saw hundreds of armed soldiers rushing in through the door.
The soldiers, clad in military uniform, strode in with rifles in their hands. Once they entered the scene, they surrounded everyone in a swift and orderly manner.
Needless to say, everyone else was baffled. Even Greg Jawson, who Alvin invited, had no idea what was going on.
The same thoughts raced across their minds.
Why is the military here? And why are they acting as though they are in a war as soon as they show up?
“Who are you? What are you doing?” Greg barked at the soldiers. Though the police and the military were from different systems, they were all under the jurisdiction of the governor of Jazona.
Why are the soldiers pointing their rifles at us? Are they trying to stage a coup?
Alas, no one responded to his yell, for the rifles were still aimed at him ruthlessly. Right then, a middle-aged military officer dressed in his uniform strolled over to him. At the sight of that officer, Greg felt his stomach churn.
Andrew Morsley? Why is this plague here?
The person Greg feared the most in Jadeborough was not his superior but Andrew Morsley, whose name instilled fear in the masses in Jadeborough.
Andrew was the division leader of the Divine Dragon Guards in Jadeborough, one who possessed great authority.
Known for being hot-tempered, he would even disregard the mayor of Jadeborough in a fit of fury!
The Divine Dragon Guards belonged to the Four Asura Guards, who aided Asura tremendously during his conquest of the world.
To achieve so, they must have wiped out countless enemies.
“Colonel Morsley, w-why are you here?” Greg greeted Andrew, his voice stuttering. However, just as he lifted his leg to take a step forward, a gunshot suddenly pierced through the air and hit the ground beneath his foot.
It was less than a centimeter away from piercing into his toe!
“Cut the nonsense. If you give your guns up, we’ll spare your lives. Hands behind your head! Get down on the floor!” Andrew ordered without even sparing him a glance. “From now onward, those who resist shall be executed!”
Seeing that Andrew refused to budge, Greg demanded anxiously, “Colonel Morsley, I’m from the Vice Enforcement Division. What right do you have to confiscate our guns?”
If news about me getting my gun confiscated got out, how can I bring myself to face the public going forward? Greg thought, concerned about his pride as the head of the Vice Enforcement Division.
“Say another word, and I’ll have you killed!” Andrew shot him a vicious glare that rendered him speechless.
Though Greg was usually an arrogant person, he was a nobody before Andrew.
After he gave his gun up, his subordinates did the same for fear of losing their lives. After all, their guns were no match for the soldiers’ rifles.
“Andrew, I demand an explanation. Otherwise, I will file a complaint and make sure it reaches Asura’s ears! What right do the Divine Dragon Guards have to confiscate my gun?” Greg exclaimed as anger welled up in his chest.
He initially came after receiving Alvin’s invitation to earn some extra income, but instead of getting what he came for, the Divine Dragon Guards confiscated his guns.
Thus, he would not let this slide without a satisfactory explanation.
“You want an explanation?” Andrew glared at him icily. “I suspect that you’re involved in drug trafficking. Is that reason enough?”
