Chapter 306
The audience and reporters had no idea what happened but the thugs were mortified. They were notorious men themselves and they knew exactly what the red dots meant.
The red dots from a sniper!
They were all under multiple snipers‘ crosshairs!
Any unusual movement and the snipers would certainly put a bullet through their skulls!
The thugs were bullies of the city, but with that many red dots aimed at their heads, their temper and arrogance were replaced by obedience and timidity.
Fwoosh!
A company of soldiers came from all directions, armed with weapons that were loaded with real bullets, and surrounded the thugs immediately.
Thump!
All the thugs were horrified. They fell to their knees and put their hands above their heads without a second thought.
“We’re sorry!”
“We were wrong!”
“Please don’t kill us! We were under orders!”
Everyone was horrified.
Some wet their pants, some kowtowed repeatedly, begging for their lives, and some cried excruciatingly even though they were unharmed yet.
“Send them to the rural areas in the west and make them work as farmers there to cultivate the land and grow potatoes or something. They are forbidden to return for the next 20 years,” Andrius said as he peered down from above.
Noir delivered his order right away.
After the captain received the order from Noir, he looked at the thugs and said coldly, “All of you disrupted peace and harmony in the city by sabotaging the opening ceremony with armed weapons, causing a bad influence. I can spare your lives, but…”
The thugs were all ears when the captain seemingly gave them hope of sparing their lives.
“All of you will still be punished! You are all expelled to the west and tasked to cultivate the lands as farmers, planting potatoes or whatnot. You are all forbidden to return within 20 years.”
The captain’s sentence robbed the thugs of their gusto and energy as if their souls left their bodies.
However, it was definitely better than being executed on the spot.
After the soldiers brought the thugs away, the opening ceremony continued.
The scene left a strong impression on the reporters and audience alike. Celestial Enterprise has
the support of the military!
If anyone had the nerve to cause a scene in the future, they might follow the footsteps of the thugs who were sent to the rural lands in the west to plant potatoes.
Meanwhile, in the Royal Dragon, Mr. Longman was on the bed with his female secretary curled beside him like a soft kitten, looking comfortable and relaxed.
The television was showing the telecast of the opening ceremony of Celestial Enterprise.
“What happened?”
When the emcee announced the start of the opening ceremony, Mr. Longman clearly saw a
glitch on the screen, cutting the footage for a short moment, and it continued onto the ribbon -cutting ceremony.
Something had gone wrong.
According to his plan, the thugs he amassed should be sabotaging the ribbon–cutting
ceremony.
Why did it go on?
Mr. Longman continued watching.
However, other than the little glitch, the entire ceremony seemed normal. His men were nowhere to be found.
“F*ck!” Mr. Longman roared.
He immediately called the baldy, who was the leader of the group.
The call got through but there was no answer.
Something must have gone south!
“Find out what happened! I want to know what happened on site!”
Mr. Longman had a feeling that his plan was foiled. He slapped his secretary’s naked backside and gave the order with a trembling voice.
The secretary reluctantly got dressed. It was still her job to settle the boss’s problem as it always had been.
Half an hour later, just when Mr. Longman was about to lose his patience, the secretary returned with a reporter who attended the opening ceremony.
“What happened there?” Mr. Longman asked eagerly.
The reporter lowered his head in silence.
Mr. Longman put his fingers out. “10 million. Tell me what happened and I will give you 10 million!”
10 million was not a small amount, but the reporter shook his head and refused to speak.
Before the soldiers left the ceremony, they had checked all the cameras and deleted all the footage. The reporters were forced to sign a disclosure agreement.
Once disclosed, one would be severely punished by the military, and it would mean the end of one’s life.
It was the main reason why the soldiers did not appear on TV.
Mr. Longman clenched his teeth. He added, “How about this? I’ll give you 20 million and I’ll send you to Tartan, another country, to spend the rest of your life. No one would know that it’s you. Can you tell me what happened back there?”
Mr. Longman stared at the reporter with his deep eyes.
The reporter ponder for a while before he went up close to Mr. Longman and whispered in his ears, “The military.”
He spoke softly but it sounded like a clap of thunder in Mr. Longman’s ears.
The man’s face paled.
The military had intervened and foiled his plan?
