Chapter: 91
“That’s right! Dahlia is definitely not a traitor!” everyone spoke out in support. They were very clear about Dahlia’s conduct.
It would be more plausible that she manipulated the market, but being a traitor to the country was not possible!
“I’m just following orders. Anyone who stops me will be deemed an accomplice!” The officer started to get impatient.
“You wouldn’t dare!” James glared at him.
“Do you know who we are? You wouldn’t live to see daylight if you dared touch a single hair on my sister!”
“Huh! There is solid evidence of Dahlia Nicholson’s collusion with the enemy country. Anyone who obstructs the arrest must be an accomplice. If that’s the case, take them all away! Anyone who resists will be shot!”
At the officer’s order, all the soldiers raised their guns one after another. The cold gun barrel aimed at the people in the room felt very menacing.
In an instant, everyone froze.
“You-you…” James wanted to say something but Dahlia quickly stopped him.
“Everyone, keep calm. I believe there must be some misunderstanding. I’m sure they will let me go after the investigation.”
The officer snorted coldly at these words. They were the ones who decided whether this was a misunderstanding or not!
“Take them away!” the officer ordered, and everyone was taken to the car.
The car stopped at the gates of the Spanner Villa 20 minutes later.
“Officer, this doesn’t look like a place for investigations,” Florence asked with uncertainty.
“Stop talking nonsense! Go in!” The officer couldn’t bother to say more and forced everyone inside the villa.
Everyone realized something was off once they walked into the courtyard. Two white flags were hung on each side of the door, and in the middle of the living room was a coffin.
Trevor’s portrait greeted them.
“Sir Spanner?” Everyone widened their eyes in confusion.
As for Dahlia, she started to feel uneasy. She realized she must have walked into a trap.
“Is everyone here?” Just when everyone was left wondering, a burly Travis walked out imposingly. His sharp eyes and menacing stance felt so overbearing some couldn’t breathe.
“Sir, everyone related is here,” the officer replied.
“Okay.” Travis nodded, his gaze swept through the crowd, and he continued, “My name is Travis Spanner. I’m from the western war zone with the position of a general. I believe some of you may have heard of me.”
“Travis Spanner? General?”
Everyone’s face fell at these words.
Chris was especially fearful. Others might not know it, but he knew very well how scary the western warzone was. Only one who was experienced in battle and had strong military control could obtain this position. Even the Mighty Three had to show their respect in the face of this man. In this world, money and status were far inferior to power!
