Chapter 6: Everyone Fears The Wrath Of The Military Lord!

While Bruce White sped towards a rundown building, Jordan Stuart was laughing coldly on the phone.

“Brianne Taylor, your mother wouldn’t have had to go through so much pain if you had come to your senses earlier. Wait for me over there like a good girl. I’ll go over right now.”

Jordan Stuart hung up the phone, then glanced at the middle-aged woman who had been tortured beyond recognition.

“Wait for my signal. Send that old hag to hell after I catch Brianne Taylor!”

Jordan Stuart was very complacent. He stomped on the accelerator of his Ferrari and quickly disappeared from the gangsters’ field of vision.

In the rundown building, the middle-aged woman was on her last legs. She heard what Jordan Stuart had said.. She knew that she would be free from all of this soon. However, her mood did not improve.

This was not the first time she wanted to die. However, she was hesitant now that she was staring death in the face.

She was not afraid. Instead, it was because, once again, she could not stop all of this from happening.

“Bruce, did you receive the message?”

The middle-aged woman thought about her son whom she had not met for five years in the depths of her despair. Though Bruce White was only her adopted son, she regarded him as his own.

Bruce White was sensible, filial, cultivated, handsome…

Just like all the other parents, she thought that her child was the best in the world.

However, now that she was about to die, she felt useless and had a lot of guilt.

She had been helpless back then when her son was maligned and sent to jail.

Now, she had become her children’s burden and a hostage that someone was using to threaten her daughter.

She was a parent, yet she could not provide a safe haven for her children.

She was overcome with guilt about how she did not live up to the role of a mother. She felt guilty about how she had become the burden of her children.

“I’m sorry. I let all of you down. Let me carry all of these burdens for you guys if there’s a next life!”

She looked up at the ravaged ceiling and slowly closed her eyes. She was waiting for the embrace of death.

“Mr. Stuart has sent the message. Let’s do it!”

Two gangsters walked toward the middle-aged woman. One of them was holding a knife while the other carried gasoline and a lighter.

They were going to kill the woman and erase all traces of her corpse!

This was not the first time they were doing something like this. They had helped Jordan Stuart deal with situations like this several times before and were thus were very proficient.

“Go and find the right person to take revenge on after you die. We were only paid to do this. Remember, the person who wanted to kill you is Jordan-”

The gangster who was holding the knife had just wanted to slash down at the middle-aged woman when he suddenly heard a deafening boom outside the door of the rundown building!

The next moment, a military-green Brave Warrior crashed into the building like a massive cannon.

The deafening explosion instantly made everyone freeze in shock. All of the gangsters were startled.

The gangster who was holding the knife was at a loss about what to do. He stopped the cleaving motion of his hands and stared at the Brave Warrior, utterly dumbfounded.

The Brave Warrior was like an unruly horse that crashed into the house. It instantly knocked down two gangsters.

A moment later, Bruce White, whose body was enveloped in a violent aura, jumped out of the car. His eyes instantly turned red when he saw the middle-aged woman. His raging aura immediately erupted around his body.

Boom!

Everything around them trembled!

Bruce White had trained his aura in practice and in battle. Therefore, the aura he released was terrifying.

“Bruce?” The middle-aged woman who had already slipped into despair looked at the man who seemed to have descended from the heavens with her bloodshot eyes. She immediately shouted, “Run! It’s dangerous!”

The middle-aged woman did not care about herself even though she was about to die. Instead, she cared more about the safety of her son. This was her motherly instinct.

Tears of self-blame fell from Bruce White’s reddened eyes at that moment.

He had not cried when he left his country. He had not cried when he was covered in wounds. He had not cried when he bled out on the battlefield.

Yet, he was crying now.

“Ahhh!!! You deserve death! You deserve death! You deserve death! All of you bastards deserve death!!!”

Bruce White looked up to the ceiling and roared. He was like a fierce beast freed from its cage. His raging fury threatened to burn the place down.

“Die!”

A second later, Bruce White made a fist and gathered all his aura at the very front of his fist. He punched forward.

Five gangsters instantly exploded. They did not even have time to plead for their lives.

A metallic tang of blood lingered in the air. The scene looked like one straight out of Hell.

The middle-aged woman finally relaxed her tightly-wrung heart when she saw that her son was fine. Having lost her support, her vision turned black as she slumped helplessly onto the ground. A moment later, a powerful shoulder propped her body up.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, ah…”

Back then, Bruce White had been taken away by a mysterious man after he was framed and thrown into jail. He went into military service and made immense contributions in battle during these past few years.

He had paid little attention to his adoptive family. However, back then, though his adoptive family was not extremely well-to-do, they did live a safe and peaceful life.

He had stayed near the border and faced danger at every turn. He had not contacted his family because he did not want to implicate his adoptive parents.

However, he never expected so many things to happen while he was executing the Inescapable Blood Prison mission.

His adoptive father had died a pitiful death. His adoptive mother had been abused by others and nearly died!

He had been strong-willed his entire life and lived up to the expectations of his country. However, he had let his family down.

He was a failure as a son!

In that instant, an endless wave of guilt washed over his heart. His tears fell like a burst dam.

Argh…

At this moment, a dozen constables appeared at the door on motorbikes. They were deeply impacted and petrified when they saw the harrowing scene in front of them.

“He-He killed someone?”

The constables looked at each other. A shadow enveloped their hearts.

Before the constables came to their senses, Bruce White carried his unconscious adoptive mother and walked toward them. The expression on his scar-ridden face told them to not enter the building.

The constables instinctively took a step backward. All of them had a look of caution on their faces.

“Bring me to the nearest hospital. Immediately! Right now!”

Bruce White’s words were like an edict. The constables were scared silly. Someone subconsciously started their engine and helped Bruce White open up a path.

Vroom vroom vroom…

The motorcycles were traveling at full speed throughout the journey. Bruce White steered the Brave Warrior and sprinted right behind them. All of the vehicles they encountered during the journey gave way!

“Commander, b-bad news. Some-Something bad has happened!”

At the same time, Hanson Holt, who had personally assumed command of traffic control, trembled when he received the news from his subordinates.

“How the f*ck do you guys do your work?” Hanson Holt was furious. He instinctively thought that his subordinates had failed to protect the influential figure from the battle division.

“Peo-People have been killed!”

Whoosh!!!

There was a buzz in Hanson Holt’s brain. An icy sensation spread across his entire body.

Something had happened to the person that the Aerial Battle Division had mobilized over a hundred fighter jets to protect. That something had happened within his jurisdiction. And that something involved a human life?!

“F*ck!!! Can you guys not even protect one person? I’ll chop you up! I’ll chop you all up!!!” Hanson Holt immediately let his fury loose. His voice was the only one left in the command center.

Everyone else shivered in fear. They stood in a corner, not daring to take a breath.

“It-It’s not that. Th-That influential figure has k-killed someone!”

What?

Hanson Holt was startled. His unbridled fury was immediately extinguished. He even felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted.

Hanson Holt, who soon realized what was going on, knitted his brows.

“Who did he kill? Have you investigated the situation? Where are you guys? Do you know why he killed them?”

His subordinate soon reported the entire situation to him. His subordinate placed extra emphasis on how the gangsters had attempted to kill the middle-aged woman and erase all evidence of their crime.

Whoosh!

Hanson Holt finally understood why that influential man had chosen to land at Javon Airport and had sped all the way towards the outskirts of the city without regard for anything else.

His mother had been abused and was in grave danger!

Hanson Holt would also have rushed over without regard if it had happened to him too.

At this moment, the Javon Traffic Control Center was being enveloped in a bubble of complicated emotions.

On one hand, they were touched that Bruce White had flown back to the country in a fighter jet just to save his mother.

On the other, they were ashamed that something as vile as kidnapping, abuse, and attempting to erase the evidence had happened in Javon, which was their jurisdiction.

At this moment, Hanson Holt felt a mixture of shame, frustration, and fear. After all, that influential figure had come from the battle division. Though he did not know who exactly Bruce White was, his intuition told him that Bruce White was not a simple general of the battle division.

What kind of general would receive the utmost honor of having a hundred fighter jets act as their convoy?

Hanson Holt quickly contacted the battle division as he thought about this. He reported everything he knew to the battle division, hiding nothing.

…

In Langdon’s highest command center.

Everyone in the command center held their breaths. They were focusing their attention on the second-tier city that was Javon.

Beep!

A notification suddenly rang out, pulling on everyone’s heart.

As the highest-ranking commander of the battle division, Patrick Stone immediately opened the message. He stared at the news presented on the screen.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze was trained on the big screen.

There was dead silence!

The entire command center was dead silent.

Everyone in the command center was furious and extremely suppressed.

Kidnapping, abuse, and attempting to erase the evidence. And the target was a defenseless middle-aged lady!

Those beasts could bring themselves to do all that?!!!

The message was like slaps to the faces of everyone in the command center.

They were furious even though they were only spectators of the incident. Bruce White, who had been through the encounter, would have been even more so.

He had rushed all the way here just to save his mother!

Even a normal person would never forgive the criminals if this had happened to them. Worse, this incident had happened to Bruce White.

Who exactly was Bruce White? He was the strongest Military Lord in the Langdon Battle Divisio. His title was personally conferred by Elder No.1. He was the only Military Lord in the Langdon Battle Division. He was the person that three million hot-blooded warriors put their faith in!

Humiliating Bruce White was equivalent to slapping the entire Langdon Battle Division in the face!

“They deserve death! These scoundrels of society deserve death! They all deserve death! Death!” Patrick Stone was furious. He wanted to grab his blade and kill those scoundrels himself.

A series of messages appeared on the communications device while Patrick Stone slipped into an uncontrollable rage.

[Green Dragon: Almighty has lived up to the expectations of the country and its citizens all his life. Now that Almighty’s mother has been harmed, the culprits must be killed. Requesting for 20,000 soldiers. I am heading to Javon!]

[Black Tortoise: I am a brute and not good with words. Almighty’s mother is our mother. I’m ashamed that I couldn’t protect our mother. I brought along 20,000 soldiers. They all volunteered to come along. I’ll accept the punishment when I get back!]

[Red Peacock: I told them the news. Punish me alone if you need to hold someone accountable, but I have to go to Javon!]

[White Tiger: I already went…]

…

The Five Great Kings of War, countless generals, and 10,000 White Coats. A flurry of messages came in telling those in the command center that they were heading to Javon and meeting up with Bruce White.

Patrick Stone’s eyelids twitched wildly as he saw the messages. He was frightened. “The sky…is falling–”
