Chapter 1150


    Meanwhile, Maxine swung open the door of a secluded vi located in Cansington''s Military Region.


    The vi was surrounded by numerous fully armed soldiers.


    The moment she tried to walk out, several soldiers stood in her path. They kneeled on the ground


    abruptly and pleaded, "Ms. Maxine, please don''t make this difficult for us. Our superiors have given us


    our orders and failure to execute them will result in us receiving the death penalty. If we let you leave


    today, we''ll be punished by militaryw. In the best-case scenario, we''d be stripped of our rank and


    dismissed from the army. In the worst-case scenario, we''ll be subject to the death penalty.”


    When she heard this, Maxine furrowed her brows worriedly.


    Her acupoints had been unsealed sincest night, and she wanted to leave but hade face to the


    soldiers who were begging her toply out of fear of losing their own lives.


    At that moment, Thea also walked out of the vi and also saw the kneeling soldiers.


    Since she had undergone military training, she understood a soldier''s sworn duty was to be bound to


    the orders given to them. In essence, they were simply acting ording to their superior’s wishes.

    "Call the Blithe King. I need to see him,” Thea ordered the men.


    One of the kneeling soldiers replied hesitantly, "Ms. Thea, we can''t do that for you. He has gone for a


    field inspection and is not expected to return soon.”


    Thea''s face hardened. She raised her hand and concentrated powerful energy in her palm as she


    growled menacingly at the soldiers, “Are you going to do it or not?! I''ll kill you with one hit if you don''t do


    as I say!”


    The soldier kneeling on the ground chose his words cautiously, "Even if you threaten me with death, I


    cannot simply demand for his return.”


    Maxine pulled Thea aside and promptly dissuaded her, “Forget it, Thea.”


    Thea shook her off and replied anxiously, "Then are we just going to stay trapped in this ce and let


    James die alone?!”


    ‘What else are we supposed to do?" Maxine replied helplessly. If she had the chance she would have


    leaped at it immediately but she could not justify sacrificing the soldiers.


    Thea said, ‘The Blithe King must be in the military region! He''s probably just using it as an excuse not


    to see us. I must meet with him as soon as possible!"


    With that said, she rushed outside the vi.


    The soldier kneeling on the ground immediately pulled out his gun and aimed it at his head. "Ms. Thea,


    please don''t make this any moreplicated than it has to be. Our superiors have issued us our


    orders. We''ll shoot ourselves in front of you if you take a single step outside.”


    "Y-You...!!"


    Thea trembled with anger.


    Maxine dragged Thea away. “Calm down! We should figure out what to do inside first."


    After being pulled into the house, Thea sat on the sofa fuming. Her face was red with anger as she


    huffed, ‘What on earth is


    James thinking?! How could he just trap us here? Is he worried that we''ll be a burden to him?”


    ‘We''re indeed liabilities in this situation. His enemy this time is overwhelmingly strong, and James


    himself doesn''t think he''ll make it out alive. This is why he''s worried we''ll get hurt.”


    ‘What''s the point of continuing to live without him? If he''s going to die, then we might as well die


    together!” Thea said resolutely.


    "Then, you''ll have to find a way to leave this ce," Maxine said calmly.


    Maxine was not very concerned about life and death. She definitely was not afraid of dying. She was


    worried about James as well and wanted to rush to Mt. Thunder to see how he was doing.


    If she and Thea worked together, they could easily leave the vi. The only thing stopping them now


    was the soldiers that were threatening to take their own lives if they left.


    Daniel reported to his superior inside the military region office," Commander, Ms. Thea, and Maxine are


    causing a scene again, demanding that they must see you. The soldiers threatened to kill themselves if


    the two left and this has temporarily managed to stop them."


    The Blithe King listened to Daniel''s update and furrowed his brows.


    "James really knows how to be a pain in my “ss. I''d better take a look to ensure nothing unexpected


    happens. Otherwise, it''ll be hard to exin to James."


    The Blithe King was at a loss.


    He had been hiding for an entire day but was afraid that the two women would resort to extreme


    measures in their desperation.


    Moreover, he worried that his subordinates would really take their lives if it came down to it.
