Chapter: 505

“What right do I have?” Adam smiled faintly.

“Well, I have more power than you, Does this reason satisfy you?”

“Y–you’re blatantly abusing your power!” Jade said defiantly.

“You’re right, I am,” Adam said bluntly. He was exactly like how General Jenkins described earlier.

“Y–you can try to lock me up! I am a member of the Grant family!” Jade said, refusing to give up.

“The Grant family?” Adam burst out laughing as he tossed her a phone.

“I’ll give you a chance to ask the Grant family for help. I want to see who would dare come rescue you!”

When he said that, Jade was thunderstruck. She knew better than anyone that the Grant family wouldn’t cross the God of War, Adam, for her.

“Why? Why did things turn out this way? Just who are you?” She stared straight at Dustin. Her eyes were filled with surprise, defiance, hatred, but mostly despair.

*Since you’re going to die anyway, I’ll enlighten you,” Adam replied nonchalantly.

“The young man you just kidnapped is Logan Rhys, the eldest son of the Rhys family and one of my closest friends!”

“Logan Rhys?!” When General Jenkins heard the name, he collapsed to the floor, overcome with despair.

Now, he finally understood. He finally understood why Bloodbeast had fled in fright, why all those influential figures called him to ask for his release, why General Murry had sent his army, and why Adam was so nervous.

The person he had arrested turned out to be the eldest son of the Rhys family, an existence that could shake the military effortlessly.

“We we’re doomed

Blood had drained out of Jade’s face the moment she heard Dustin’s real name, feeling unbelievably sorry for herself. She shouldn’t have tried to avenge Joshua. There was no way a loser with broken arms and a shattered core was worth the lives of her entire family.

“Jade Grant, this is what you fucking call a nobody?” General Jenkins spun around and shot Jade a vicious glare.

“I never did anything to you, so why the hell are you dragging me into this mess?”

“1-“Jade “–” Jade was about to burst into tears.

“How dare you trick me! You’re dead meat!‘ General Jenkins roared before leaping toward Jade with his mouth wide open. Things became chaotic as he tore up the woman’s face with his teeth.

“Come on. Let’s go have a drink. Dustin Ignored them and left with Adam.

Meanwhile, inside the East Swinton Hospital ward, Dakota’s face hardened after finishing a call.

“So? Was there news about Dustin? Can he be saved?” Dahlia quickly asked.

“He can’t. The person who arrested him was General Jenkins from the Grant family. I tried calling the elders, but they said he wasn’t listening to their requests. Glenstead’s military has no jurisdiction over Balerno.”

Dakota shook her head helplessly.
