The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 461

Following the opening of the car doors, Daniel was the first one to appear before Tanner.

Stomp, stomp, stomp!!!

Daniel and his men had Tanner and the rest of his crew surrounded within seconds.

Unable to comprehend what in the world was happening at that moment, Tanner became anxious as he looked at Daniel However, he forced a smile onto his face and said, “General Daniel, what brings you here today? A leisure trip perhaps?

Daniel smiled and said, “Mr. Tanner, this isn’t a leisure trip. It’s a hostile raid.”

“Why are you here? Our company has ab ided by every single rule in Swallowston. No lines have been crossed. So, are you here to arrest someone or is it something else?

“Might I remind you that the Battle Warrior Department isn’t authorized to arrest anyone in my company? That job belongs to Internal Affairs or the Guardians,” Tanner said with a huge smile on his face, knowing full well what the rules in Swallowston were.

However, Daniel curled his lips into a smile as well. He reached out and patted Tanner on the shoulder and said, “Tanner, Tanner, Tanner… Byron’s half dead right now thanks to me. Look, I’ve now got his cell phone with me right here. That should mean your plans are about to be exposed, no?”

Daniel took out Byron’s phone and dangled it in front of Tanner with a huge smile on his face.

Tanner, who was startled for a brief moment, said, “I was wondering why I couldn’t get in touch with him. I still owe him a cup of coffee, you see. Has he done something wrong perhaps?”

Tanner continued to feign ignorance but Daniel’s smile did not vanish. Patting Tanner’s shoulder once more, he said, “Your won’t be able to get him that cup of coffee. I’m afraid. In fact, I doubt you’ll get the chance, ever.”

“What are you trying to say? Are you here to bully us because we’re from the outlands, perhaps?” Tanner said with his eyes narrowed, “What are you doing here?”

Tanner was in a hurry to get to Vivian and Bram so he did not have time to waste on Daniel

Yet, Daniel’s subordinate brought him a chair and Daniel sat down. With a smile, he said, “Relax, Mr. Tanner. The legate has already entered Scorpio Hub to personally take a look around. I’ll tell you what I’m going to do with you once he’s done with his investigation”

“Wh-What?!” Tanner felt a jolt course through his veins.

“The legate?! Is he saying that the unknown man with the other two is the legate himself?!”

Tanner’s face turned ashen at this point. Seeing this, Daniel smiled and said, “What’s the matter? Is there something in that hub you don’t want us to find out?”

Tanner took a deep breath and immediately turned around. He then whispered to another man next to him and said, “Tell our men to hide everything now. Keep everything hidden from the legate and we’ll be safe.”

The man nodded and was just about to leave when Daniel’s men stopped him in his tracks. Still smiling, Daniel said, “Calm down, Mr. Tanner. None of your men are allowed to leave this place. Also, we’ve shut down all phone signals around the area so I’m afraid your messages won’t be going anywhere.”

Daniel had already noticed Tanner grabbing his cell phone to type a few messages, which was why he made this statement. Tanner did in fact send out a few texts as Daniel suspected, but all of them failed to be delivered.

Trying his best to conceal his anger, Tanner said, “What do you want?”

“Allow me to enlighten you.” Daniel crossed his legs and continued, “After the legate confirms what’s inside Scorpio Hub, he’ll give us the order to send all of you to the border at the outlands. You’ll be facing the Luposians as you all..die from a slow and painful death.”

Everyone present trembled when they heard what was in store for them, including Tanner. No matter how calm he seemed, he was no longer able to maintain his composure anymore.

Tanner refused to stay there and wait for death to claim him so he said, “General Daniel, enough with the threats. I have something urgent to look into so you’ll have to excuse me. Feel free to investigate all you want. Just do me a favor and don’t interrupt my business.”
