Chapter 1150

Meanwhile, Maxine swung open the door of a secluded villa located in Cansington's Military Region. The villa was surrounded by numerous fully armed soldiers.

The moment she tried to walk out, several soldiers stood in her path. They kneeled on the ground abruptly and pleaded, "Ms. Maxine, please don't make this difficult for us. Our superiors have given us our orders and failure to execute them will result in us receiving the death penalty. If we let you leave today, we'll be punished by military law. In the best-case scenario, we'd be stripped of our rank and dismissed from the army. In the worst-case scenario, we'll be subject to the death penalty."

"Call the Blithe King. I need to see him," Thea ordered the men.

One of the kneeling soldiers replied hesitantly, "Ms. Thea, we can't do that for you. He has gone for a field inspection and is not expected to return soon."
