Chapter 52 Powerful Figures in the Army!
“W-What is this?!”
Everyone in the Summers Family was stunned, for they had never seen such a grand procession of military vehicles before!
Ashton was shocked. “Mr. Summers, if you could summon such a powerful force, why did you call me over to help?”
“This…” Randy was quaking. “This isn’t my doing… Mr. Birch, is this not your connection?”
Ashton smiled bitterly. “If I could do that, why would I be getting these five hundred ruffians here? Wouldn’t that be unnecessary?”
Everyone exchanged looks. None of them knew why this alarming procession had come!
Under the extremely stunned gazes of the crowd, the seven cars slowly pulled up at the entrance of the Summers Residence.
Then, the doors of the cars opened one after the other.
The first person to get out of one car was a man who seemed to be in his thirties.
He wore army attire in military green, and he had a badge with two stars.
He was a bona fide lieutenant!
Connor immediately gaped upon catching sight of him.
Isn’t this Thomas Baxton, the platoon leader in the Solaris Military District?
Connor’s expression immediately became stern as he extended both hands respectfully and walked toward the man. “Greetings, Lieutenant Baxton…”
Thomas lifted a hand and said with a cold expression, “No need for pleasantries. In case you don’t know who you’re talking to, I’m here to make introductions!”
“Introductions?”
Everyone was dumbfounded, unsure of what Thomas meant.
Before they could ask further, another person got out of the second car and walked up to them.
This time, even Connor had no idea who this person was.
With his status, he could only get in contact with people on Thomas’ level.
However, the three-starred badge on the man’s uniform caused everyone to reel in shock.
Thomas said in a low voice, “This here is the company commander of the Dragon Blade Elite Force in the Solaris Military District.”
He had just finished talking when the person from the third car also got out.
“This is the battalion commander of the Solaris Military District.”
Another person emerged from the fourth car.
“This is the regiment commander of the Solaris Military District.”
He then introduced the next person from the fifth car. “This is the brigade commander of the Solaris Military District.”
As Randy and the others listened to Thomas’ introductions, they were terrified that their souls almost left their bodies while their blood ran cold!
T-These were all prominent and powerful figures!
Ashton’s face was pale as he trembled uncontrollably. “M-Mr. Summers, d-does anyone in the family hold a military position?”
“No…” Randy’s lips were purple. “If the Summers had connections in the army, I wouldn’t have requested your assistance…”
“In that case… Did you offend someone important?”
Ashton was so terrified that he was close to tears!
Even though he was called the Reaper, it was mostly just to intimidate people.
However, in reality, he was just a higher-ranking ruffian unable to make himself known in the outside world.
He could appease small fights and intimidate some small fry, but now that he saw the real powerful figures in the army, he was instantly terrified!
In fact, he almost peed in his pants!
Meanwhile, Connor and Caleb were also quaking uncontrollably!
“What’s going on, Dad… Did we offend a prominent figure in the army?”
The few people standing in front of them ranged from lieutenant to brigade commander, each with a position shockingly higher than the last!
Randy said shakily, “Uh… Even the brigade commander is here. Have we offended a division commander?”
“A division commander… is that even possible…”
Connor felt his entire body drenched in cold sweat. As the wind blew, the cold reached right into his heart!
When he heard their conversation, Thomas smiled coldly. “If you want to see a division commander, he’s here as well. He’s in the next car.”
As he spoke, someone got out of the sixth car.
The stars on his badge were clear as day!
He was a colonel!
“Goodness…”
Everyone in the Summers Family inhaled sharply!
Even a colonel had made his appearance, and everyone was so shocked that it was suffocating.
So many prominent figures in the army had gathered at the same time and in the same place!
This scene, which was normally only reserved for parades, had appeared at the entrance of Summers Residence!
Caleb rubbed his eyes in disbelief as he said, “Dad, Connor, was I injured so badly that I’m seeing things here?”
Connor’s legs were shaking. “No… it’s all real…”
Just then, everyone’s gaze went to the last car at the back.
A colonel had gotten out of the sixth car.
Could it be that the person in the last car was the general?!
Slap!
Randy gave himself a sound slap as if to determine if he were dreaming or not!
At the same time, the army guards and soldiers all leaped off the army jeeps at the back of the procession.
They guarded the last car tightly, armed with guns as they kept watch without any blind spots!
When he saw that, Randy seemed to have confirmed his guesses.
The car door slowly opened, and a gentle middle-aged man got out of the car, his badge shining.
“A major general? Shouldn’t it be the general?”
Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, the gentleman slowly walked up to them.
Thomas introduced respectfully, “This is Solaris Military District’s Chief of Army!”
As soon as Thomas finished speaking, Connor felt his legs almost giving way to kneeling right then and there!
He had used countless connections and money just to get to know a platoon leader like Thomas!
Now, even the Chief of Army was standing right in front of him!
He was so scared that his heart was going to explode!
Meanwhile, Randy was even more shaken by the rapid succession of shocking events!
