Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

483 The battle (2)

For the next few days, the people of Country M felt a storm brewing. While the electoral college was conducting an election within the council to pick a new President, Hwang Min was waging war against Maverick. 1

It's been three days since the ex-président was arrested and sentenced, yet Hwang Min hasn't left the Capital. He tried leaving but Maverick's men were everywhere.

He couldn't stay at the Presidential Villa anymore, so he found a hotel to stay in.

While at the hotel, he was communicating with his people who immediately gathered all of Hwang Min's men and headed for the Capital.

Almost twenty thousand of them flooded the Capital. Although the men settled at the outskirts of the Capital, a few of them entered the City to rescue their Master and cause some losses to Maverick. They destroyed a few of Maverick's establishments as an official declaration of war.

Hwang Min, who had been rescued was asked to return to SIN city, but the man refused, saying;

"I want to watch how you bring Maverick to his knees!" He curled his lips into a smirk.

The so-called PEACE got a message that Hwang Min had declared an all-out war against Maverick, but they turned a blind eye and didn't get involved. Within, they wanted to see Hwang Min and

Maverick's downfall.

Didn't they say they wanted to reform the Country? Well, to do that, those who caused the Country to be a nightmare have to die before the Country sees happy days. 1

The fight between Maverick and Hwang Min would be happening outside the city to prevent innocent people from dying. After all, it would be a fight between twenty thousand and twelve thousand. The fight between the Lu family and Xu family caused them some damage, so Maverick had eight thousand active fighters, while Damien gave him four thousand active fighters.

At first, Maverick thought he'd be fighting ten thousand men but after he lost the battle for two consecutive days, he finally called a meeting to understand the situation.

Three black cars drove under the canopy of the night, heading out of the Capital. The cars stopped at a stand-alone building. Even the Presidential Villa has no security protocol as strong as the one here. For about an hour, the cars were going through thorough checks at different checkpoints until they finally made it through the gates and arrived at the white house.

The middle car was opened by Code 5 and Jeslyn got down, wearing a black outfit. All the guards around them bowed in greetings. With Code 5 and Yellow leading the way, they headed to the entrance of the house.

Stepping into the sitting room, Jeslyn felt a shiver run down her body. This place gave her a feeling of death. No warmth, no life, no nothing.

The sitting room had either black or brown designs all through. So creepy!

"Ma'am, this way, please!" A lady in black trousers and a black top said with a stoic face after bowing to Jeslyn and Yellow.

Jeslyn gave a faint nod before following behind her while the others hung around the sitting room.

Jeslyn wasn't bothered by the lady's coldness because almost all of Maverick's people, both men and women, had a bitch face, including Pink and Yellow.

And they all look ruthless and unforgiving.

Standing by the door, she saw a red light coming from the doorknob and spoke.

"He's holding a meeting."

Jeslyn looked at her, then asked, "Did you see him eat anything since?"

"The Master doesn't eat in the presence of his subordinates," she answered.

"In other words, you're not sure if he ate anything"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Lead me to the kitchen," Jeslyn instructed.

"Yes, Ma'am." The lady turned and started heading to the sitting room.

About thirty minutes later, Jeslyn returned with a tray of piping hot chicken soup and a bowl of rice. "Knock on the door," she instructed the lady.

Her face changed and she took a step back, then bowed slightly, "I'm sorry, Ma'am. Master hates it."

"Tch. Just do it." Seeing she was hesitant, Jeslyn added. "It's an order."

"Yes, Ma'am!"

The lady stepped forward, took a deep breath and knocked on the door once.

She waited for about a minute before she knocked again.

Seeing she was knocking like one who was afraid of the door, Jeslyn handed her the tray and started banging on the door.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Maverick could be seen among about ten men, including Rex, Fin, and

Matt.

"Only my sister-in-law would knock like that," Rex chuckled. (1

Maverick narrowed his eyes at the three who were sitting together at a corner.

"You called her here?" he asked.

"Don't accuse me, I'm innocent." Inspector Fin immediately said.

Me too!" Rex added.

"Good she came. Saved me the stress of treating a stubborn patient," Matt rolled his eyes.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Maverick massaged his temple and sighed with his back leaning on the chair.

"Ah, you won't get the door? Then I shall before she gets mad at me." Rex jumped off his chair and ran to the door. Immediately he opened it, a knock came in contact with his face.

"Ouch!" He cried out.

"Haha, sorry!"Jeslyn giggled and pushed him to the side, carried the tray of food and walked in.

Rex perceived the aroma of the food and hurriedly swallowed. He shut the door with a loud 'bang' and hurried after her.

The meeting wasn't over, so everyone was still seated,

Once Jeslyn came closer, they all got up to greet her.

She smiled at her husband and placed the food on the table.

"It is dangerous. Why did you come?"

"You worry about me, yet you haven't had a wink in three days."

Maverick shot a glare at his friends who turned their faces away. However, the shameless Rex moved over to the table and smiled.

"Sister-in-law, you made this. Did you leave any for me?"

"Rex, stay away," she said. But unfortunately, she was talking to Rex.

He glued himself to her and beamed, "I've not eaten in three days. We've been at war."
