Chapter 349 Private Army
Army? How could there be an army in this damn place?
In an instant, Jonathan’s face darkened.
As Asura, he was in charge of millions of elite soldiers in the world. Even the eight Asura Guards were under his control.
Why didn’t I know I have an army stationed in this damn place? If it isn’t the eight Asura Guards, how could there be an army in this remote place in the middle of nowhere?
In an instant, two words suddenly flashed across his mind.
Private army!
Ever since Jonathan conquered the lands three years ago, he set rules that no private army was allowed anywhere in Chanaea.
Violators would be killed without mercy.
However, even under the Decree of Asura, someone still dared to violate the rule. They even formed a troop of private army secretly in that abandoned area.
“Hey! What are you doing here suspiciously?” Someone yelled from behind suddenly while Jonathan watched the private army in the dark.
Jonathan then saw Shawn walking toward him with a gloomy face. There were a few lackeys following behind him. They hurried over and yelled, “Hey, why are you hiding there? Are you planning to steal something?”
“Idiot!” Jonathan cursed and glared at them coldly.
“What? How dare you call me an idiot?” Upon hearing that, Shawn was mad. However, footsteps sounded from all directions when he was about to lose his temper.
“Who’s there?”
In a blink of an eye, soldiers came from each direction and surrounded them.
Not only that, countless black muzzles were pointing at their heads.
Nonetheless, Shawn was not a bit nervous. He seemed at ease with what was happening right before him.
As the eldest son of the Jones family, he had seen almost everything and been in every situation.
They’re just a group of soldiers! There’s nothing to be afraid of!
“Which unit are you from?” Shawn asked as he looked at the soldiers in front of him domineeringly. He gestured with his hand and said, “Ask your leader to come out to see me.”
“Do you know our leader?”
As soon as Shawn finished his words, a middle-aged man in an army green uniform walked out suddenly.
His eyes were ferocious, and his face seemed vicious.
It was obvious that he didn’t look friendly at all.
“It doesn’t matter whether I know him or not. What matters is that he knows me!” Shawn waved impatiently and said again, “Tell him! I’m Mr. Jones, and my father is Albert Jones. As citizens of Jipsdale, you should know who my father is!”
Shawn seemed very proud at the mention of his father’s name.
There wasn’t anyone who didn’t know Albert Jones in Jipsdale.
He was the leader of the four prominent families in Jipsdale.
Besides, his brother, Fabian Jones, who was Shawn’s uncle, was the mayor of Jipsdale.
Just when Shawn was feeling proud of himself, the middle-aged man interrupted him impatiently, “Bullshit! Who is Albert Jones? I haven’t heard of anyone named Albert Jones before.”
“What did you say? How dare you talk to me like that?” Shawn was mad when he heard the middle-aged man say “bullshit” when he mentioned his father’s name. No one dared to talk to him like that after all his years in Jipsdale.
“Do you know that I can just lock you all up any time with just a call? Gathering illegally, causing a riot, and offending a businessman. Believe it or not. You will not be able to get out of jail for three to five years!”
“Yeah, they are a bunch of country bumpkins who don’t even know who Mr. Jones is. Not only have they not heard of Albert Jones, but they also don’t know who Fabian Jones is.” Just when Shawn was getting furious, a lackey rushed out and said, “Fabian Jones is the mayor of Jipsdale, and he’s Mr. Jones’s uncle.”
Even at that time, Shawn and his men still had no idea what was going on.
Only Cecilia felt something was not right.
If these soldiers are really an army of Jipsdale, how could they not even know Albert? Even if they don’t know Albert, they should know Fabian. He’s the mayor of Jipsdale!
However, that middle-aged man didn’t seem to waver upon hearing Albert and Fabian’s names at all.
It seemed that he had never heard of their names before.
“Bullshit! I have never heard of Albert Jones or Fabian Jones before.” Seeing Shawn and his men keep repeating those names, the middle-aged man was annoyed. A trace of impatience flashed across his eyes. “Take them down now!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Upon hearing the order, the soldiers immediately marched forward with guns.
It seemed that they were really coming to restrain them.
Shawn was shocked when he saw that. “What do you want to do? Do you know who I am? I am the eldest son of the Jones family. Albert Jones is my father, and Fabian Jones, the mayor of Jipsdale, is my uncle. If you dare to lay a finger on me, believe it or not, I will ask them to lock you all up!”
Lock them all in jail one by one? Idiot!
Seeing that Shawn still didn’t know what was going on, Jonathan couldn’t help but shake his head.
They don’t even know they are nearing their doom.
If they were in Jipsdale and were afraid of Asura’s Office and the eight Asura Guards, the private army might not dare to do anything to them.
However, they were in the desolate outskirts now. No one would find out even if they were ripped apart, let alone being locked up.
“Don’t come here! And don’t touch me! Go away!”
For a while, piercing screams were heard.
In front of the muzzles of the guns that the soldiers were holding, Shawn and his men, together with Cecilia, couldn’t put up any resistance at all.
Hence, the soldiers locked them up immediately. Nobody would dare to move with guns pointed at their heads.
When the army marched toward Jonathan, Jonathan stared at the middle-aged man indifferently. “I remember that Asura’s Office issued an order a year ago that no private army is allowed in Chanaea! Those who violate the law will be killed without mercy! Who gave you the order to form a private army under Asura’s Office’s control? Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
“I beg your pardon? Did I hear you right?” Upon hearing Jonathan’s words, a ferocious smile appeared on the middle-aged man’s face. “Are you talking about the law to me? Do you know where this place is? It’s a desolate district in the middle of nowhere. Are you sure you want to talk about laws with me in a place like this?”
The man continued, “Let me tell you. I’m Arthur Stones. In a place like this, I’m the law. I’m above everything. Don’t tell me about the bullshit Asura’s Office. What can Asura do to me even if he is here?”
