Chapter 2346
The color drained from Jace and Tye''s faces as they heard Nathan''s warning.
Nathan turned his attention to Jace and looked him straight in the eyes. Calmly and collectedly, he said, "Your son broke thew, so he should face the consequences. Stop trying to bail him out by underhanded means. You should let him stay in jail for a few years to repent and reform. Also, let me warn you against making any funny moves on me or my family. I will make sure you regret it if you try that."
He then added, "That''s all I have to say for today. Let''s not meet again." Without waiting for any response from Jace, he turned around and started making his exit with Penny, Sean, and his entourage.
The Young Knives members instinctively reached for the hidden weapons in their jackets and looked toward Jace for instructions. They were waiting for his signal to go after Nathan.
Jace was still contemting when Tye leaned forward and whispered, "Mr. Rivera, are you letting them go?"
Jace decided to bite the bullet and took a tough stance. "We are not done for today, Nathan. Do you think you can leave without any consequences after injuring my sworn brothers? Take them down!"
The Young Knives members drew out their hidden weapons and lunged toward Nathan and his family.
Penny''s face turned ghastly pale, and Sean and the other Smith family members were all trembling in fear at the sight of three hundred angry men charging at them.
Nathan remained calm andposed. "Don''t worry, my dear," he gently consoled Penny as he held on to her hand.
His strong andforting grip gave her a sense of security, and she softly replied, "With you around, I never have to fear."
Nathan turned toward Jace and asked, "Do you think you are the only one who came with backup?"
Nathan''s words stunned Jace, and his men also froze in their tracks.
"You can get them toe in now." Nathan turned around and instructed Colin.
"Yes, sir!" Colin took out a walkie-talkie and gave the order. "Come in now!"
Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!
The sound of uniform marching footsteps echoed throughout the hall, and a few secondster, apany of about a thousand fully-armed soldiers appeared before the stunned eyes of Jace and his gang.
Whoosh!
Swiftly and uniformly, the soldiers raised their guns and aimed squarely at Jace and his men.
"Pterosaurs Special Forces of Channing military district, take down these gangsters!" Colin shouted out amand to the soldiers.
Then he turned to Jace and the Young Knives members and ordered, "Drop your weapons, raise your hands above your head, and surrender. Otherwise, we will shoot to kill!"
What? Shoot to kill?
The Young Knives members were scared stiff as they were a bunch of bullies who targeted the weak and the meek. When faced with tough opponents like the soldiers in front of them, they shivered with fear.
When they heard it was "shoot to kill," they immediately dropped their weapons and raised their hands to surrender. Some even cried out loud for their mothers and regretted not staying home safely with their parents.

Jace was not much better than his men. He looked toward Nathan, ashen-faced and with hopelessness in his eyes.
I thought he was a has-been. Did they not tell me he had left the army and is idling at home? How did he manage to mobilize the soldiers?
Tye flusteredly ran toward Nathan
and Colin, shaken. "We are

Plonk!
Before he could reach Nathan, a soldier hit him on his face with the buttstock, and he knelt in pain on the ground with a bloodied face. Colin coldly retorted, "Who do you think you are? Fancy calling yourself ourpatriot!"
Oh no! Jace''s legs gave way, and he fell slumped onto the ground.
