Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

485 The battle (4)

Everyone here is worried about their lives and their minds are in a fragile state. The wrong word might push them into the enemy's hand. (th

"Brothers, what are you still waiting for? Alpha Chaos has less than seven thousand men remaining. If we leave now, they won't be able to hold on till tomorrow and after tomorrow, we'll all be in the winning team!" He said with enthusiasm.

"Who told you the Lu faction only has seven thousand? If we add twenty thousand of the SIN into that equation, there'd be twenty-seven thousand men."

Everyone gasped in shock. Even Maverick wasn't left out. He was astonished at his wife's skill of lying.

Rex blinked a couple of times. Didn't she say the SIN had ten thousand men? How did it become twenty thousand?

Seeing their disbelief, although her husband had a neutral face, she could tell he was surprised else he'd be smiling.

"Did you have to lie so much just to make them stay? Ha!!" The betrayer was alarmed.

guess it's time to use the token. After all, I came here in the first place to bring you the token." She placed the black token in front of her husband.

"My husband has three fighting jets, the SIN has four fighting jets. My husband has three tanks, the SIN has five tanks. With those combined, it's obvious we don't need you anymore, so if you want to leave with him, you're free to go."

The men dived Into more shock. The numbers weren't the problem here but the name, SIN!

Those guys are so powerful that the Yu men cannot win them in a fight.

While the people were still staring dazedly at Jeslyn, the betrayer was looking for ways to escape but Maverick's hand was faster. He flung the knife he was holding and it lurched into his temple. The betrayer cried out and fell. Rex sighed, pulled out à gun from his waist and released some bullets into the man's body.

"Betraying others is not cool. Who wants to leave? Please do," he beamed.

The men's heart sank. Who wants to leave? Leave to where? Didn't the lady just say twenty thousand SINNERS were coming? Also, with the way the betrayer was killed, who would dare leave? "Very good. Y'all know how to grab thick thighs, don't you?" he laughed again. "You should return, the meeting is over."

After Rex dismissed them, the men couldn't help running away.

Rex smiling eyes caught the sight of the soup Jeslyn brought. "This may have gone cold. My brother isn't a fan of cold soup, but I am." Before Maverick could stop him, he grabbed the plate and chunked down some soup, then carried the rice and headed back to his seat.

Jeslyn couldn't help laughing and shaking her head at Rex's drama.

"You made them stay, you clever woman." Maverick pulled his wife closer by the waist.

"Hehe. Anything for you, my Lord."

Maverick got up, carried her and exited the room.

At midnight, after Maverick had tired Jeslyn out, he left the bed and went to his study room. He took out the token and checked it. There was nothing but some irrelevant numbers written in bold on the body. Maverick observed the token for a while before realizing it could be cracked open. It took him long minutes to finally open the token.

The token lit up and inside it was a drive and a key. Maverick plugged it into his laptop and waited for some commands.

After the thing loaded and did what was necessary, the first thing it did was to ask for fingerprint.

Maverick did as told but he was brutally rejected and called unmatched.

[Sorry, your fingerprint is unmatched. Remaining two more false attempts to render this token useless. ]

Maverick flattened his lips. He carried his laptop to his bedroom and placed Jeslyn's thumb on the fingerprint sensor on the screen. [Welcome to the SIN. Option to proceed or decline!

Maverick sat on the edge of the bed and pressed 'Proceed.'

The PC's Webcam was turned on and a man's unfriendly face appeared.

'The new boss is supposed to be summoning me?' he said.

"With her permission," Maverick replied.

'What's the deal?'

"We need the SINNERS."

'Number of enemies and weapons!

"A deadly war with twenty thousand men. Four fighting jets, four tanks, more than four missile launchers... other deadly weapons."

'SINNERS recently grew in numbers, 11,000. We can't make the newbies work yet, so you can only get 10,000 and all the weapons we have. When is this war?'. "Already happening."

'The enemy's coordination.'

The two talked more and after they were done, the

guy said;

'Now that the SINNERS have been activated, please tell the boss she can't abandon us like she's done for the past few months.'

"Hm."

In less than one hour, four fighting jets with THE SIN written on them flew into the Capital and headed straight to the northern region.

Once they arrived, Maverick's three fighting jets also took off.

Maverick entered one of the Lu tanks and started following behind the jets. The Sin's tanks and fighters haven't arrived yet. They'll be Maverick's backup.

Arriving close to Hwang Min's camp, Maverick used binoculars to watch the activities and felt that something was wrong. The camp was too peaceful. Although men were standing guard around the place, he still had some strange feelings.

He ordered the captain of the air force to shoot one missile into the camp while he observed from the binoculars.

Once a missile was launched into the camp, it hit a resistance and bounced back.

Luckily, the pilot was a good one, so he was able to dodge the missile that ended up landing in the sea, some miles away.

"Illusion," Maverick mumbled.

No wonder they lost the battle twice when they attacked. Whatever attack they threw at the enemy bounced back at them. They didn't notice because the fight was messy.

Maverick called all his men and headed back to his camp to analyse things. If the illusion was here, then where is the real camp?

"Urgh, no mirror how do I pop this pimple? Never mind... it's not meant to be popped." Jeslyn mumbled from her sleep.

'Mirror!'

Maverick's eyes snapped open. He left his room and returned to his men.
