Chapter 962 A Phone Call


    Anxiety roiling in his stomach, Jaime turned to his deputy and voiced the question on everyone''s minds, "What happened? Why''s


    the siren ring in the middle of the night? Has a drill been arranged for Channing recently?"This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    The deputy was in the dark as well. Perplexity apparent on his face, he answered, "Not to my knowledge. ording to the norm,


    we, the Armed Forces, would be the first to know about an air force training drill if it has been scheduled."


    Jaime''s face flushed with anger and bewilderment. "If that''s the case, what set the siren off? Did the people in charge mess up


    and trigger it by ident, or are we in the midst of an emergency?"


    The deputy hurriedly replied, ‘Til call the mayor''s office to find out what''s going on..."


    Before he could make the call to grasp the situation, two fighter aircraft of thetest model appeared in the sky overhead.


    Both fighter jets were flying at a low altitude. The roar of their engines was deafening as they passed over the crowd.


    Following closely behind was the tut-tut-tut of chopper des cutting through the air.


    In the distance, the blinking lights of military helicopters speckled the night sky with flecks of white. A swarm of helicopters rose


    above the skyline and headed towards Riverside like a cloud of doom.


    Vroom!


    A few light tanks designed for city defense purposes rolled up at Riverside. Main guns at the ready, the tanks steadily closed in


    on the vi.


    Tailing the tanks were tens of armored jeeps equipped with high-speed machine guns, all of which were handled by skilled


    gunners. The barrels were aimed at Jaime and his soldiers, ready to shoot atmand.


    Clomp, clomp, clomp.


    The sound ofbat boots hitting the ground in unison echoed down the emptied roads as droves of soldiers wielding


    submachine guns marched in from all sides.


    The uniform footsteps, coupled with the intimidating aura surrounding the soldier, ignited awe and reverence among the masses.


    Jaime''s little party was no exception. Wide-eyed and ck-jawed, they gaped at the iing army.


    Wade''s face lost all color. He could not control the quivers that overtook his body as he stumbled over his words, "U-Uncle


    Jaime... They actually came. Nathan Cross actually summoned an entire army with just one phone call.”


    Jaime, too, was aghast.


    He felt all the strength leave his limbs. With perspiration beading his forehead, he muttered in a trembling voice, "How is this


    possible? H-How could it be..."


    At that moment, amand vehicle pulled up.


    A middle-aged man stood on top of the vehicle, dressed in full military uniform and bearing the Major General''s insignia. It was


    Franklin Wilson.


    He brought a military loudspeaker to his mouth and boomed, "Besiege the area!"


    The soldiers, numbering in the twentythousands, moved with trained precision and agility. In a blink of an eye, the two divisions


    hadpletely enclosed the Riverside area.


    Franklin jumped off themand vehicle andnded nimbly on his feet, his swift actions belying his age. He jogged briskly


    towards the source of themotion.


    Jaime stered a strained smile on his face at the sight of Franklin and moved to greet him.


    However, he had only taken two


    steps forward when the soldier


    the infant y division jABbed at him


    With their submachine guns and


    forced him to backtrack. "Stay where


    you are!” Please read the original

    A blush tinged Jaime''s face crimson.


    As the Lieutenant Colonel of reservists, he had no standing before these real military men.


    Franklin trotted up to Nathan and


    stood at attention in front of him. He


    solemnly raised his hand in a salute


    and announced, Repertigg ta


    Ndicg bifeer, this is Franklin


    Wilson,mander of Channing''s


    military districts! Divisions 146 and
