Hall didn't want to waste any more time talking to Jessica, so he had her handcuffed with magnetic handcuffs and taken to the car.
"Search! Search thoroughly! No suspect can escape!" Hall ordered.
"Yes, Captain!" The team members quickly went down to the underground bunker.
At this time, the other team members who were scattered in the city and pretending to be conducting a thorough search also received orders from Hall to come here immediately to clear out these daring kidnappers.
By the time Aiden Gladstone's men discovered that they had suddenly changed the direction of their search, it was too late. Jessica's base had been completely wiped out, and the ubiquitous reporters had already rushed to the scene, filmed the arrest, and broadcast it live on the Star Network News Station.
When Aiden learned about this, his expression changed immediately, but because General Williams was right in front of him, he couldn't show it too obviously. However, his clenched fists still betrayed his true feelings.
General Carter Williams was very perceptive and immediately noticed the change in Aiden, and he was overjoyed.
"General Williams, I have some matters to attend to in my army, so I'll take my leave now."
"Then let me see you off. My son and the others should be back soon." General Williams's light words made Aiden's expression stiffen again.
In the capital, Xingyuan, a middle-aged man, seemingly in his fifties, with a refined appearance and demeanor, sat in a large leather chair. His temples were slightly grayed, seemingly prematurely. He was watching a live stream from a news station, his expression gradually contorting. Where was the trace of refined demeanor left?
He smashed a cup on the table fiercely, and looked at Hall Williams on the live broadcast screen with a look as if it was filled with poison.
Trash! All trash! They can't even handle such a small task!
The door of the room opened, and a silent young man walked in. He turned on the cleaning robot and asked it to clean up the stains on the floor. He then handed a pink soothing agent to the middle-aged man, "Father, it's time for you to take your medicine."
The middle-aged man took the soothing agent, and the anger in his heart made him want to smash the soothing agent to the ground, but thinking of the precious value of this soothing agent, he had to suppress his tremendous anger.
"What's going on?! How on earth does Aiden do anything?!!"
"General Aiden has done his best. The Brummer family's underground fortress is extremely well-hidden. I wonder how Hall Williams managed to track them down..." The young man looked at the middle-aged man's sullen face and tried to persuade him, "Father, why are you getting so mad over such trivial matters? If the plan fails, then it fails. We can try again. This time, we'll definitely be able to kill them with one strike."
The young man's facial features were 50% similar to those of the middle-aged man, and he looked like a gentleman with good temperament, but there was a hint of sinister calculation in his words.
"David, what do you think?" The middle-aged man looked at his son.
"Father, don't those imperialists want new mechas? Then we should give them to them." The young man named David whispered his plan in his father's ear.
"What?" The middle-aged man frowned slightly, seeming very surprised by David's words. "The power on Dark Star was built with great difficulty. How can we just abandon it like that?"
"Father, listen to me... There is no impenetrable wall in the world. At this critical moment, if people knew that the strength of the Dark Star is related to us, it would be very disadvantageous to us. It would be better to..." David lowered his voice and whispered a few more words to him.
The middle-aged man pondered for a while before nodding his head, "Then I'll listen to you!"
David smiled and said, "Then please drink the medicine, father."
"Okay, okay." The middle-aged man's mood suddenly improved, and he immediately raised his head and drank the pink soothing agent.
The middle-aged man, the current head of the Federation, Derrick Bridges, achieved his current position thanks to the military exploits he accumulated in his youth. However, he paid a heavy price. Piloting a mecha was a mental burden for a mecha fighter. Years of fighting had left him with a chronic illness, severely damaging his mental strength. However, his impressive military achievements earned him the support of the people, allowing him to emerge victorious in the election for the head of the Federation and become the current head of the Federation.
Ten years had flown by, and with elections approaching, Derrick Bridges was unwilling to relinquish his power. As the head of the federation, he enjoyed countless privileges, including the finest food, clothing, housing, and transportation. He also had access to special soothing agents that could greatly alleviate his damaged mental health. If he lost his position, he would lose not only his power but also countless privileges...
His mental strength was damaged, and he hadn't fought in nearly ten years. He certainly couldn't return to the army. How could the meager federal currency he earned in retirement afford the luxurious life he had become accustomed to?
The power of Dark Star was originally his retreat, but now he has to sacrifice it.
Carter Williams was a man to be reckoned with, and so was his son! He was truly too dazzling! After Arnold Percy was eliminated, the Star Online polls regarding the next head of state were almost overwhelmingly in favor of Carter Williams. How could he tolerate this?!
David's plan was very feasible. Those imperialists arrived at the perfect time. As long as they operated properly, they would not have to sacrifice too much force. After the plan was accomplished, as long as he could continue to be re-elected, he could completely cover up the matter.
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly became firm. He used his light brain to dial Aiden Gladstone's communication number and conveyed a series of orders.
He slowly stood up and stood by the window, looking at the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky, a malicious smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
*******
Jessica was detained in the military headquarters by General Williams. The fact that she kidnapped Owen and Oakland was very clear. The Bloomer family was completely doomed, but no information about the mastermind behind the scenes could be obtained from her, so she had to be detained for the time being.
After Owen and Auckland returned safely, they were warmly welcomed by the little fur ball Joey. The little guy was frightened and even his cries were weak, which made his loving brothers very sad.
General Williams and his family did not know that someone was planning to continue plotting against them, but they knew that Aiden and the Führer would never give up, so they were actually secretly on guard in their hearts.
After this incident, General Williams decided to have his eldest son and youngest son go on vacation to a colony in the 34th Sector, avoiding the current critical period and returning once everything had settled. As for Quentin, he had volunteered to go along. General Williams felt that having a combat division to provide close protection would be beneficial, and seeing that he and his son had a good relationship, he felt that having someone close to him would help him feel less lonely.
Joey had initially resisted his father's decision. He didn't want to leave home, his parents, or his middle brother and Auckland. But someone had broken into the house, injured Dark Horse, and kidnapped his oldest brother, which had frightened him. Even if he was smart, he was only three years old. He knew someone was plotting against his family, that someone might use his oldest brother and himself to threaten and harm his beloved parents, middle brother, and Auckland. Finally, he obediently agreed.
Joey almost stayed in his elder brother's arms and refused to get down. Owen also felt sorry for his little brother, so he held him in his arms and slept with him that night.
