Chapter 448 Cross Star God Association?
Chapter 448 Cross Star God Association?
Marcus’s face instantly darkened.
Instead of arresting Raven as he’d expected, the Foterik Squad soldiers surrounded the members of the Hiemal Court.
Clink! The sharp sound of handcuffs locking echoed repeatedly as his men were restrained one by one.
“You’ve got the wrong person! She’s the one you’re supposed to arrest!” Marcus shouted in panic, pointing at Raven.
But in the very next moment, a pair of cold handcuffs abruptly snapped onto his own wrists.
Marcus froze for a moment before snapping his head up to glare at the squad leader. “Are you out of your mind?”
Once reality hit him, he began struggling furiously. “Raven killed your prince and injured General Hinton! Why are you arresting me?”
Just minutes ago, Marcus had been basking in the thrill of victory, convinced Raven was cornered and doomed to be shot by the Foterik Squad’s sniper.
However, she stood there unharmed, while he was the one in cuffs.
The sheer absurdity of this reversal was like a cruel joke which he couldn’t accept.
Marcus shouted, “You’re the leader of the Foterik Squad! Why would you be scared of the Star God Association? Even if a war breaks out, they wouldn’t dare mess with you!”
Marcus, completely unaware that the squad leader was also a member of Star God Association, kept shouting arrogantly.” Let me go! Or else, you’re gonna regret it! I swear…”
Marcus was losing it. If the squad leader was going to arrest him without any regard for their past dealings, he might as well expose everything.
Before he could finish, the squad leader stepped forward and landed a solid punch right on Marcus’s face.
He snapped, “Shut up! You and your men are under arrest for endangering public safety. Take them all away!”
“Wait!” A slightly panicked voice suddenly rang out from the second floor.
The unexpected interruption forced Estella, who had been waiting to swoop in and benefit from the chaos, to step forward.
She hurried down the stairs and walked straight up to the leader.
“Sir, you better think carefully about the consequences of your actions,” she said sharply. “Sure, the Star God Association is powerful, but the Hiemal Court is ranked fifth in the world. They’re not someone you can afford to mess with!”
Estella and the others assumed the squad leader was only following Saxon’s orders because of pressure from the Star God
Association.
What they didn’t know was that the squad leader himself was a member of the Star God Association. As long as he wanted to stay in their ranks, defying Saxon was out of the question.
The squad leader said, “Indeed, I can’t afford to offend Hiemal Court,” the squad leader sneered, “nor can I afford to cross the Ortega family.
“But tell me this. Can any of you afford to provoke the Star God Association?
“Take them away!” With that, the leader’s men swiftly moved in, dragging Marcus and the other Hiemal Court members out of the banquet hall.
Antonio’s face darkened as he stared toward the doorway.
As the head of a police station, there was nothing he could do against the military.
Especially since Foterik Squad operated independently of the Sunset Empire’s military, even the general of the Sunset Empire couldn’t give them orders.
After Marcus and the others were taken away, Raven slowly approached Estella and asked, “Estella, do you still want me to join the Ortega family and work under you?”
“I…” Estella was momentarily speechless. ‘Even if I had a death wish, I wouldn’t dare try to poach someone in fr the president of the Star God Association!‘ she thought.
