Chapter 1620


    Steven quickly retreated to avoid it, but the p did not really fall.


    “It’s not that I won’t help you. It’s because I can’t! Mr. Joe is no ordinary man! I’m telling you. Even if the


    mayor Quentin showed up today, he couldn’t save you either! If you hadn’t given in and apologized,


    that man would have killed you!”


    “Are you exaggerating it to scare me? I don’t believe he has that much power… Tell me who this Joe


    is.” Steven asked, looking unconcerned.


    Dwayne immediately said, “You don’t recognize him? He is… He is… Forget it. I’m not telling you. But


    keep in mind that you can’t afford to mess with that man!”


    “Hmph!” Steven snorted coldly.


    Dwayne knew Steven did not keep his warning in mind when he saw Steven’s behavior. However,


    Steven was not his biological son, so why did he care?

    Three dayster.


    Benita was working in themander-in-chief’s office.


    There was no ongoing war, so there was not much work to do, and most of it was trivial. Even so,


    Benita took everything seriously, especially the financial aspects.


    They were in the City-State Union, far from Dragon Kingdom, and you could describe Dorodo’s city


    defense army’s situation as being far away from the central government and thus beyond its control.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Therefore, Benita had to avoid things like embezzlement of military funds inside the army camp.


    Fortunately, there was no such phenomenon in the army camp after a period of inspection, which


    pleased him.


    Just then, Rebbeca strode in. “Commander, Astor wants to see you.”


    Benita was a nine-starmander as well as Dorodo’s city defense army’smander-in-chief.


    Therefore, Dorodo’s other officers and soldiers addressed Benita as Commander-in-chief, but Rebbeca


    continued to address Benita as Commander as before.


    “Looks like he came to talk about the stronghold giant crossbow deal… Let him in.” Benita said with a


    nod.


    However, Rebbeca did not leave but added, “Not only Astor, but another weapons dealer, Hezti


    Wagner, also came with his son.”


    Hezti Wagner?


    When Benita heard the name, he immediately recalled Steven, who had made a scene at the fondue


    restaurant three days earlier when he was dining with Bjorne and ended up being humiliated.


    Steven was Hezti’s son.


    “Dorodo’s two top weapons dealers are here? Interesting. Let them in together,” Benita put down the


    documents and said with a smile.


    Rebbeca nodded and turned to walk away. Astor, Hezti, and Steven soon walked in, following


    Rebbeca.


    Astor’s expression was stiff, and he kept looking at Hezti with hostility. On the other hand, Hezti was


    beaming.


    When Steven walked in and looked up to see Benita, his haughty expression froze.


    “You!” Steven yelled, pointing at Benita.


    “Watch your attitude. This is the city defense army’s main camp, and you’re looking at the city defense


    army’smander-in-chief!” Rebbeca chided bluntly.
