Chapter 29 It’s Over!
The blinding searchlights lit up the entire military base grounds as bright as day.
Yet at this moment, the whole place fell into an extremely eerie dead silence.
Victor stared hard at the scene before him, his mouth twitching violently, not even noticing the cigar ash that had fallen onto his leather shoes.
That ruler of a super financial empire who even the governor had to receive politely—Cain—was actually bowing to this young man right now, even respectfully calling him "boss"?
This completely shattered Victor's worldview!
The man controlled hundreds of billions of dollars as a super tycoon, with a status no lower than his own—how could he possibly bow down to some nobody kid with no background?
He instinctively shifted his eyes to look at the rugged man kneeling on one knee.
Although Victor's family business didn't involve military contracts and he didn't know Arthur's exact identity, anyone who could drive a heavy armored vehicle and brazenly smash through a military base gate, even directly call in Apache helicopters loaded with live ammunition, with even the major general at the base showing him such respect...
His identity was probably even more terrifying than Cain's!
Watching these two people with terrifyingly powerful identities now kneeling on either side at Ethan's feet, Victor felt a bone-chilling cold shoot from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, his blood completely freezing in that instant.
What exactly was Ethan's background?
What level of monster had the Thorne family and his idiot son provoked?
If Victor was merely feeling fear at this moment, then Major General Tillman, the military officer standing beside him, wanted to die right now.
Tillman's face, which had been so arrogant before, was now as white as freshly painted paper, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
Victor didn't know who Arthur was, but he knew all too well!
One was Cain, the god of wealth who controlled most of the military's funding lifeline—anger him, and the military could face a funding crisis at any moment.
The other was even more significant—the military's future hope, the super genius who mastered the most cutting-edge weapon development technology, Arthur!
The top brass at the Pentagon usually had to treat him like a treasure, afraid of upsetting him in the slightest!
And now, these two figures that even the military's highest leadership didn't dare offend were both bowing at the feet of the young man he had just ordered to be shot to death!
"It's over... all over..."
Tillman felt his brain spinning. Right now, he wished he could pull out his gun and blow Victor's stupid head into mush.
Did this idiot even know what kind of existence he had provoked!
At this moment, the dozens of soldiers around them who had been holding assault rifles, ready to turn Ethan into Swiss cheese, all keenly sensed the deadly oppressive atmosphere in the air.
No matter how stupid they were, they understood that anyone who could make both Cain and Arthur call him "boss" was definitely someone who could crush them with one finger!
Accompanied by a chaotic sound of gun friction, dozens of assault rifles dropped in unison, and all the soldiers backed up several steps as if electrocuted, afraid that standing too close would make these two think they were accomplices.
Facing this extremely shocking scene, Ethan merely raised an eyebrow lazily.
"Not bad, you came quickly."
Ethan's tone was very calm, as if he was already used to it.
Watching the scene before him, Tillman became even more certain of his guess—this young man's background was definitely not simple! He immediately stepped forward, wanting to remove Ethan's handcuffs to show his friendly attitude.
But before he could get close, he saw a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Ethan's hands simply exerted a little force, and the steel-forged handcuffs were torn apart like paper, casually tossed aside.
Such a terrifying scene made not only Tillman but also the other soldiers who had participated in the escort feel a chill down their backs.
Was this even human?
If he had really wanted to resist, how could these few people be a match for this human-shaped beast?
In contrast, Arthur and Cain, who were closest, didn't seem surprised. But after seeing the handcuffs tossed aside, Arthur's eyes, which had been fervent, were instantly replaced by extreme rage and killing intent.
He suddenly stood up, directly pulled out an extremely exaggerated large-caliber electromagnetic pistol from the holster on his thigh, and the dark muzzle instantly pressed against Tillman's forehead!
"Tillman! Who gave you the guts to treat my boss like this? You tired of living?!"
Arthur roared, his finger pressing on the trigger without hesitation. Just a light squeeze would blow Tillman's head into a bloody mist!
Tillman's knees went weak with fear, and he fell heavily onto the asphalt road. He now felt that helping Victor capture Ethan was simply the stupidest decision of his life!
But now, he could only kneel on the ground and beg for forgiveness.
"...Arthur! This has nothing to do with me! I really didn't know he was your boss!"
Tillman pointed at Victor in the distance, screaming shrilly.
"It was the Lopez family! It was that bastard Victor who forced me!!!"
Hearing the name "the Lopez family," Cain slowly turned his head, those cold eyes that struck fear on Wall Street locked onto Victor at the back of the crowd, his gaze icy.
Victor had long lost his earlier arrogance. Watching Arthur directly press a gun to Tillman's head and seeing Cain's terrifying gaze, Victor's psychological defenses completely collapsed in that instant!
Run!
He had to run now!
He couldn't stay in this hellhole anymore!
As long as he escaped back to the family for protection, maybe he could save his life!
Victor swallowed, and while everyone's attention was on Tillman, he hunched over, stumbled backward, turned and tried to run toward his bulletproof Mercedes under cover of darkness.
However, before he could run a few steps.
Two roars suddenly came from behind, instantly freezing all the blood in his body!
"Stop!"
Cain and Arthur spoke simultaneously, their voices brooking no argument.
Victor's whole body stiffened, his right foot frozen in mid-air, cold sweat instantly soaking through his suit, his entire body as if nailed to the spot by steel spikes.
Feeling the searchlights from the two fully armed Apache helicopters in the air shining on him, Victor didn't even have the courage to look back.
He knew clearly—he was finished!
