Huo Chen stepped forward and immediately put on a pair of electronic handcuffs on him!
Eric thought of struggling, but the gun pointed at his forehead stopped him.
Even when the outcome was certain, he refused to simply accept it. “Jiang Yiyuan, even if you are working with Huo Chen, you cannot possibly invade my place without me knowing. Where are my men?”
Huo Chen kept his face expressionless as he provided the answer that left Eric shaken.
“Some are dead, the rest are captured. You will probably see the ones who make it in jail soon enough.”
“That’s impossible!” Eric howled. “I have more than a thousand men at this base!”
How could there be no warning from outside when they were attacked?
Huo Chen looked at him and let a tiny hint of ridicule show in his eyes.
“You overestimated yourself and underestimated Z Country. What do you expect to achieve with only a thousand men? I had already jammed your communication system before initiating the attack.”
It would be impossible to warn Eric before it was too late.
Huo Chen and Jiang Yiyuan had set this trap.
Jiang Yiyuan ‘s bodyguards were all Huo Chen’s top soldiers.
When they were having their secret meeting, the soldiers were busy killing off the enemies in the base.
Then, the main force attacked from outside. Eric was defeated before he knew it.
“…”
When the truth became clear to him, Eric slumped in defeat.
Indeed, no matter how strong his organization was, he was no match against a country, much less a very powerful nation!
“Why?!”
He glared at Huo Chen with equal parts resentment and bafflement.
“Why is a military general like yourself interfering with me? Every country has its own laws and I do not think I am close to challenging any of them yet. At least, not yet!”
“The answer is simple.”
Huo Chen smiled coldly and sent chills down his spine.
“It is because you have chosen the wrong person to form an ally with!”
“… Xiang Jinxi?!” He blurted out.
Huo Chen’s silence was his reply.
Finally, Eric came to realize the crux of his defeat.
At that moment, he hated Xiang Jinxi to the bone!
The enemy of my enemy is a friend. That was the reason he chose to work with Xiang Jinxi.
With the Qiu family’s support, Xiang Jinxi had plenty of cash at his disposal.
He never imagined that his decision would lead to his premature defeat!
It was practically a repeat of Bruce’s mistake!
“Besides…” Huo Chen looked up and said icily, “We are always careful of outsiders!”
Z Country’s internal conflicts would always be resolved on their own soil, no matter how serious it could become.
Huo Chen did not mind closing his eyes on squabbles between his countrymen.
A foreigner like Eric, however, had no right to secure a place in Z Country!
His arrogance was foolish and a joke!
Eric clenched his fists tightly, feeling bitter but helpless about his defeat.
“Take him away!”
At Huo Chen’s command, Song Shou stepped forward and dragged the man away.
Huo Chen did not follow him. Instead, he sat down right where Eric was sitting and took a glance at the people around the table.
His eyes were calm, but everyone present could feel the heavy pressure exuding from him.
No one dared to say a word until Huo Chen eventually broke the silence.
