Chapter 1650: Chapter 1669: Too Stupid
These people came to support Emil, only to be completely captured by Lu Jin.
Emil stopped in his tracks, his small fists suddenly clenched tight, and his mouth pressed firmly shut. Before he could speak, urgent footsteps echoed from behind. It was Burbank who noticed something was amiss and led his men in pursuit from the rear.
Now Emil was caught between Lu Jin and Burbank, with no way to escape.
Millie’s face was ashen, hopelessly collapsing to her knees.
Burbank couldn’t look more displeased. Despite his usual cheerful demeanor, seeming like a good-natured person, the men of the Kannaya Royal Family were never easy to deal with. The mission entrusted to him by the kingdom was nearly foiled by Emil’s escape.
Thankfully, it didn’t come to that. If it had, how would he explain to the King, how would he face others?
"Thanks, brother." Burbank thanked Lu Jin, and as he spoke, he lifted his submachine gun and fired directly at Lu Jin’s feet. The bullets danced with sparks, landing dangerously close to Lu Jin, yet he remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged.
Burbank gave Lu Jin a thumbs-up, once again elevating his opinion of Lu Jin and his team. True to being brought here by his second brother from their own country, their military quality and courage were unmatched by ordinary people.
If even the youngest and most energetic Lu Jin possessed such courage and ability, surely the three squad leaders brought by his second brother were even more formidable?
The six men near Lu Jin were ruthlessly riddled by Burbank’s gunfire, turned into a sieve without even a chance to resist, perishing in an instant. The dry, dusty ground was immediately soaked with blood.
Lu Jin distastefully walked several meters away. He said nothing regarding Burbank’s massacre, as if he hadn’t seen it.
Millie watched their support perish, shaking violently. Emil remained calm in appearance, but his tightly clenched fists betrayed his true feelings.
Burbank stepped forward, roughly grabbing Emil by the collar, and said viciously, "A thankless little brat, we raised you this long and you still think of going to your traitor father. Going alone is one thing, but you also plan to calculate against us."
Burbank grinned ferociously, his grip almost choking Emil to death, "You wanted to get a dress for Cassey, right? I’ll turn you into a present and send you to Cassey now."
These past few days, he had come to realize how unconditionally his second brother favored Jiang Nanfei, willing to do anything for that woman. If Jiang Nanfei were really captured and taken to Cassey by Emil...
What the outcome would be is simply unimaginable.
One needs not even think to know what choice his second brother would make for Jiang Nanfei.
Jiang Nanfei’s life, in certain aspects, was more important than all of theirs, even determining if the Regular Army and Royalty could ultimately win this civil war. This realization left Burbank even more furious.
"You... you let go." Emil’s short legs kicked futilely in mid-air, the suffocating feeling growing heavier and his kicking weaker, finally rolling his eyes and seemingly on the brink of choking to death.
Then suddenly, Burbank released his grip, and Emil thudded to the ground.
"You may be a little prince of the Kannaya Royal Family, but being strangled to death doesn’t suit your status. I’ll send you a bullet instead."
