Theodore sneered at Weston's shameless pretense. “You are lying. Do you think I would believe you? Now that we have found you, don't even think about leaving.”
Theodore did not believe Weston because a mind-controlling parasite the size of a fist was not something that just anyone in Mapleton could nurture.
At Theodore's persistence, Weston showed his ugly self.
“General Jackson, Mr. Josiah has already recovered, and he is fine now.
Besides, we did not mean him any harm. Why do you persist in pursuing this matter? If you really piss us off, you and your men are in no position to stop us from leaving...” Weston threatened.
Theodore saw that Weston was getting a little impatient, and he was feeling anxious as well. Although there was a large number in Theodore's group, in a direct confrontation, there was no certainty that they could overpower these five chiefs.
At the moment, he could only hope that Jared would arrive soon. If the people from Mapleton escaped, it would be an embarrassing situation for Theodore.
Seeing that Theodore was silent, Weston curled his lips into a cunning smile. He could see that Theodore was afraid. After all, Theodore did not have sufficient power to battle with the five of them. The others in the Department of Justice were of no concern to Weston as well.
“General Jackson, that was just a misunderstanding. We will personally apologize to Mr. Cadden. Meanwhile, we have other errands to attend to. Please make way for us...”
As Weston spoke, he signaled to the others, and the five of them slowly headed for the exit.
Theodore stretched out his hand, blocking Weston and the others. “You can leave, but over my dead body...”
Theodore had already made up his mind that even if it cost him his life, he would not let these people from Mapleton leave. Otherwise, he would not be able to face Jermaine.
When Weston saw how stubborn Theodore was, he burst out in anger and said, “Theodore Jackson, don't think that I'm afraid of going against you just because you are the general of the Department of Justice. Believe it or not, I can kill you with just one slap.”
“Don't waste your breath. Do it...”
