Chapter 1225: Chapter 1225: That Really Hurt (Part 3)

With the restraint of his subordinates, he can do whatever he wants in the Northwest. But if they knew their families were in Gan Yuan’s hands, would they still listen to him?

When that time comes, if he is isolated, his military power will instantly be dispersed by these guys, and he will become a solitary man.

“Gan Yuan, Huangfu Jue!” General Barton grasped his gun, once again aiming at the two of them, “You two despicable people, do you think you can threaten us like this? I now order you to have your men return our families immediately, or I will end you now!”

“Everyone, don’t worry.” Gan Yuan ignored his arrogance, simply hanging up the phone and calmly placing it on the table, “I won’t use your families to threaten you to do anything because I know you were all forced into this, and I understand how it feels. Several days ago, when my son was taken by General Barton, I was just as helpless and uncertain as you. If someone had threatened me with my child’s life at that time, I would have done what dignity dictated. It’s not your fault! Our people will send your families to Major General Ole’s camp, where I believe he will ensure their safety.”

Didn’t Barton say she was up to something else? Then let’s see whom they believe in?

“Thank you.” Major General Ole regained control of the situation, “Thank you, Princess.”

Gan Yuan nodded slightly.

The oldest general standing behind General Barton among the Northwest VIPs also spoke, “Princess, we are deeply grateful for everything you have done!”

Who are the fools here?

Everyone knows well why General Barton wants to capture their families.

If Gan Yuan really intended to use their families to threaten them, there was no need for her to be so indirect. Their families were already in her hands, and she could have used forceful means by threatening their lives to compel them.

But she didn’t!

Then, the general took a deep breath.

“I now declare that the entire Second Corps of the Northwest Army surrenders unconditionally to the Princess!”

“And me!” Major General Ole also came to his senses, “The Northwest Army’s Third Division artillery surrenders unconditionally to the Princess!”

“You… you all!” General Barton was so furious his hand holding the gun was trembling, “You damn traitors, how dare you betray me? I… I’ll kill you all now!”

With an angry shout, he abruptly raised his right hand, aiming the gun at Major General Ole.

A figure suddenly dashed forward, lifting his hand before he could aim at Major General Ole.

Bang!

The gunshot rang out.

A bullet shot from the barrel, streaked through the air, and embedded itself in the ceiling.

General Barton looked down, only to see Abel grinning mischievously at him.

Before he could understand what was happening, Abel swung his right hand, striking him hard on the chin.

General Barton fell backward in pain, his handgun dropping to the ground, as blood spurted from his mouth.

Abel shook his right hand, “You’re really thick-skinned; it hurt my hand!”

General Barton’s lungs were about to burst with anger, and seeing his armed men rushing in, he immediately shouted.

“Catch them for me, arrest them all!”

These were his trusted subordinates, and upon hearing his command, they immediately raised their guns, aiming at everyone present.
