Chapter 421


    Arnold''s face was pale as cold sweat covered his whole body when he heard Kingsley''s question and


    answered him in a tremulous voice, "Sunrise Corporation and my son. I have to at least save one of


    them."


    He made it obvious that he chose to stand by his son.


    He understood that by the looks of the situation now, the Sunrise Corporation couldn''t keep that


    project.

    It was without question that the corporation was done for, but he could not lose his son as well.


    Besides, he still had hope. Maybe if the officers were willing to step in, hispany still had a chance


    of turning things around!


    After all, in the Empire of Qustia, everything could be solved when officers were involved.


    Eric suddenly became more confident when he saw that his father was taking his side.


    He lifted his head and said to the governors and mayors, "Please help our corporation this time. I will


    surely repay all of you if things work out!"


    He emphasized the four words ''repay all of you''. So, it was evident what he was referring to.


    Director Klein twitched his eyebrow and cleared his throat. Ahem!


    Just as he was about to speak, there were the sudden sounds of brakesing from outside the hotel.


    It seemed that someone had parked a dozen cars outside simultaneously.


    At the same time, the guests could hear thunder-like, firm, steady footsteps.


    People near the window immediately got up to take a look and suddenly eximed, "I-It''s the army!"


    That caused amotion in the hall.


    "Army? Why would the army be here?"


    "I know! It''s because Mr. Hewitt''s second son is a hero! So, the army sent people to pay their respects."


    "Oh, My God! This is so cool. Look! Is that a captain?"


    "Captain? Are you pulling my leg? Do you think they''re that free? Amander is enough to add to the


    spectacle!"


    Amidst the crowd''s discussion, someone slowly pushed the doors to the banquet hall open to reveal


    the army.


    Then, two teams of soldiers dressed in the signaturebat uniform lined up on two sides, standing at


    attention.


    Everyone moved their gaze toward the door as anticipation filled them.


    Even Walter and Loretta stood up as tears rimmed their eyes.


    Soon, two men in army uniforms marched in one after another with bright smiles on their faces.


    When they appeared, the whole room went still for a moment.


    Then, everyone shot up. Even the officers also stood up in shock.


    No one dared to continue sitting in that room because the man that had just entered had a golden star


    badge on his shoulders while the other had two golden star badges.


    They were the Chief of Army, Jim Hond, and general, Lev Ignatov.


    People almost shrieked in shock when they saw the both of them walk in together.


    "C-Chief of Army and lieutenant general. I-What?! Am I hallucinating?"


    "This is crazy. This is definitely the luckiest day of my entire life. I actually got to see so many big


    shots!"


    "I wonder what presents they brought for Mrs. Hewitt. It''s definitely going to be something out of this


    world!"


    "Of course! It will probably wow the crowd."


    Lev and Jim''s faces froze slightly when they overheard what people were talking about.


    Then, they walked to the main stage and wished Loretta, "Mrs. Hewitt. We wish you a happy birthday


    and many wonderful years ahead of you!"


    "Thank you." Loretta was so moved that she teared up. "I didn''t think that the army remembered us…"


    "We will never forget!" Lev said indignantly. "Warren will always be our hero!"
