The Legendary Man

Chapter 482 Only Death Can Keep Us Alive

Back at the Yaeger residence, Hayes’ face paled to a ghastly white as the line was cut off out of the clear blue sky. He staggered a couple of steps backward before slumping onto the couch.

One of the soldiers was busy drafting a report at the side but became a nervous wreck the second he caught sight of Hayes’ demeanor. “What’s the matter, Commander?” came his query as he stepped forward.

“Go and investigate it…” muttered Hayes.

His whole body was trembling involuntarily.

Being Hayes’ personal bodyguard, that soldier was also thunderstruck, gawking blankly at Hayes’ bearing at that point in time.

“What do you want me to investigate, Commander?”

“Summon everybody back. I want every single one of them to get their butts over to the proving ground!”

Hayes leaped up and sent the table in front of him tumbling to the floor with a hard kick.

“Make sure the entire army of Lumonburg is present, be it the ones in the mess hall or anyone who’s currently on a mission. No one shall be excused from the assembly!”

He quickly added, “Also, fetch me the whole batch of charters of the general’s armory, especially those that involved sniper rifles of the model M03. Leave nothing behind, including the accompanying bullets. Compare them one by one and submit the results to me. I expect zero errors.”

“On it!”

The soldier gave a loud and firm response after receiving the instruction from Hayes. With that, he spun on his heels.

Hayes, in turn, secretly gnashed his teeth.

“F*ck! Some nerve they have taking my gun to deal with Mr. Goldstein. Once I get to know who that fellow is, there will be hell for that person to pay!”

In the meantime, the father-and-son duo, Philip and Zane, were sitting face to face in the garden at the Gomez residence.

“Dad, I think something cropped up on Dark Web,” uttered Zane in a deep tone.
