Chapter 467: Focus on Him
Editor: Millman97
However, he could tell that it was definitely a lot of people, and that was not counting the helicopters in the sky. Barron didn鈥檛 think he would have such a large number of reinforcements.
Stunned out of his mind, he waved excitedly in the air. "General, it鈥檚 me, Barron!"
After the yelling, Barron could see a group of people walking towards him through his squinted eyes. Barron could make out the one walking in front was Philip, beside him was the man in hat and behind them was a row of trained soldiers armed with rifles.
Barron鈥檚 go-to response was to pander to Philip, "General, why are you here? I didn鈥檛 think you would be here; this is such a coincidence!"
Philip gave him a side-eye and said matter-of-factly, "I heard reports of gunfire coming from this area so I came to look."
Barron was shocked but quickly recovered with a smile. "General, it was my men chasing after a group of fugitives. They broke into the military camp to break out one of the important convicts inside. However, they have now been surrounded; it鈥檚 just a matter of time until they surrender!"
Barron didn鈥檛 notice the aura of the man in the hat dropping several degrees after he said that. Philip noticed the change in Mubai so he asked, "How many people are there in this group?"
"Six but they, as I鈥檝e said, are surrounded; they will not hold on much longer!" Barron said proudly, "General, don鈥檛 worry, I will detain all of them as soon as possible."
"Tell me everything about them," Philip pressed. Barron thought that the General was just going through the motions, so he hold him everything truthfully.
"This group has always been rowdy but they crossed the line by attempting a jailbreak. That is punishable by death so I鈥檝e given the orders that if they still refuse to surrender within five minutes, my men will kill them all!" Barron said seriously and solemnly.
Philip didn鈥檛 show any observable response. "Lead me to go see them."
"General, that鈥檚 not necessary, it鈥檚 dangerous."
"Lead me now!"
"Yes, sir!" Barron had no choice but to follow his orders. However, he was also overjoyed because this spelled the end of Charlie鈥檚 group. Philip would have them killed. Barron quickly took them to meet with Charlie鈥檚 group.
Wolf, who had been observing the turn of events, said seriously, "Looks like the new arrival is someone important, he appears to be higher ranking than Barron."
Xinghe scurried out from behind the rock to steal a look at the new arrivals. Her eyes instantly zeroed in on the man in the hat!
Xinghe鈥檚 eyes focused on him closely, unable to move away. However, since he was a distance away, she couldn鈥檛 see his face clearly no matter how hard she tried...
"General, they are just ahead," Barron said as he pointed at the rock Charlie鈥檚 group was hiding behind, "They are behind that rock. We don鈥檛 dare to act too recklessly since they are armed with explosives."
"Is that so?"
"That鈥檚 right, but that is not a problem now, since we have so many soldiers with us!" Barron said happily, his eyes sweeping over the helicopters circling the sky.
"General, you can order the helicopters to attack them from the sky but we鈥檒l have retreat to somewhere safe first."
"Well, you sure have thought everything out," Philip said softly.
Barron didn鈥檛 hear the sarcasm in his words, he replied, "This is all thanks to General鈥檚 opportune arrival. If not for General, I probably wouldn鈥檛 be able to take them down so successfully."
"That鈥檚 right, if not for my arrival, you would have killed them all instead," Philip said suddenly.
