Chapter 1121: Chapter 1118

It seemed like a reprimand, but in reality, it was a display of care for his subordinates.

These people were all incredibly busy, and there was a saying: joining the army until you nearly forget your kin!

Though it was self-mocking, it was also incredibly true!

Often unable to go home even once in two or three years!

This…

Over time, sometimes even family bonds can fade!

“Report!”

Lucas Davis stood tall, “The order you just issued was for the first squad to assemble, all members!”

“I am also a member of the first squad, you can’t strip me of my status!”

“Movies, there’s always time to watch!”

The members of the first squad laughed as well.

But they had been a team since the beginning of the hostilities in Indiana.

Each time they carried out a mission, apart from those who were sacrificed, they never missed a single person!

“You’ve learned to talk back?”

George Lee glared, “Now I take back the order, first squad, everyone but Lucas, assemble!”

Lucas said with a stern face, “You’re discriminating against me!”

George Lee almost choked…

Instead, the squad leader of the first squad said with a smile, “Alright, Lucas, piss off!”

“Who’s got the comfort of a wife and kids in a warm bed when on a mission?”

Lucas responded coldly, “I am the leader of the first action group, and since joining the first squad, I have never missed a battle!”

“Wife and kids, I’ll have time to keep them company after I’m discharged!”

George Lee shook his head, then patted Lucas’s shoulder and said, “Stay safe!”

“I won’t say much more!”

“The hostages are at the Eastern Ocean City Martial Arts Association!”

“I can’t join you, but all of you must come back safely, not a single one less!”

He was now a general and indeed was no longer fit for charging into battle.

It wasn’t that he’d lost his nerve, but that he needed to hold the fort in the rear.

Especially since the national advisor went to the auction house, the burden on him outside was not light at all!

“Yes, sir!”

The hundred members of the first squad replied in unison and readied for departure!

After winter set in, by five in the evening the sky had already started to darken!

And the first squad, in order not to startle the snake in the grass, chose not to travel by armored vehicle, but simply removed the military plates from their jeeps, switched to civilian plates, and headed for the villa area in Alabama!

George Lee lit a cigarette, watching the back of the first squad, and said sentimentally, “You talk about Lucas, he’s pretty low, hasn’t been home in three and a half years.”

“Wife and kids, hard enough they come once, and he doesn’t even want leave!”

But as he spoke, his eyes moistened!

He just had a foul mouth, after all!

But if he had to choose, he would definitely do the same as Lucas.

“You’re crying!”

Zooey said with a bittersweet smile, “When are you going to come back home with me to see mom and dad?”

They had become a couple, but they were so busy that they didn’t even have time to visit their parents.

George Lee cracked a smile, “When I have time!”

Zooey rolled her eyes, then muttered, “Having time, that would be strange!”

Once they donned their uniforms, especially the two of them, with each controlling the power of the Imperial Guards and the intelligence organization, there was no more private time for them.

Such was the helpless reality!

“Heh heh…”

George Lee scratched his head, leaving behind an awkward laugh.

Zooey got straight into the car and began to arrange the agents, setting up surveillance around the auction house for the people lying in wait.

If there was any unrest, they must quell the rebellion at the first opportunity!

Of course, the agents lurking in the surroundings could also become the reinforcements in case the national advisor faced danger.

The Sotheby’s auction house!

“Young master, all the expected people have arrived!”

An employee from Carter Company reported with a salute, “As far as I know, there are no less than ten forces lying in wait around us, with the total number approaching a thousand.”

Since it was a trap, one naturally had to control the entire situation.

If even this couldn’t be achieved, it would be better to just dig a grave and lie down in it!
