Chapter: 500
“Hello, General Jenkins. This is Hunter Anderson speaking. You’ve captured someone you shouldn’t have. You should let him go immediately. Maybe you can still save yourself.”
“Who the fuck do you think you are? How dare you order me around? Fuck off!” General Jenkins replied. promptly ending the call.
“Seems like someone called to beg for Dustin’s life.” Jade said sarcastically. She’d long predicted something like it would happen.
“Hmph, they think they can get him out of my hands? It’s not going to be that easy!” General Jenkins pursed his lips. With the backing of the Grant family, only a handful of people in the entire Southern province could scare him.

Just as he spoke, an officer suddenly hurried over.
“General, the Murray family is here!”
“The Murray family? Who is it?” General Jenkins raised an eyebrow in surprise.
