The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power novel Chapter 422

During that time, the people beneath the stage started whispering again, and the word 'present' floated around in the air.

Lev smiled apologetically and explained to Loretta, "Mrs. Hewitt, soldiers are straightforward and only know to listen to orders. So, when the lieutenant asked us to come as support, we just came… And well… We didn't prepare anything…"

"It's okay! I don't mind one bit!" Loretta said dotingly. "I'm grateful that you could come. I don't need presents!"

She was elated, but everyone else beneath the stage was dumbfounded.

"D-Did the lieutenant general just say they were here to support?"

"I-I heard it too. Why does that sound so familiar?"

"It sounds… So similar to what Mr. Nicholson was saying. To ask someone to come as support."

Gasp!

Everyone was shell-shocked at the revelation, and time seemed to freeze for a moment.

Everyone. Every single one of them, including the provincial governor and city mayor, was frozen.

They stood rooted to the spot and looked at Kingsley in bewilderment as their eyes twitched.

Just when everyone's soul left their bodies, Jim pushed the glasses on his nose bridge up slightly, looked at Eric and Zeke, kneeling like statues, and questioned, "What happened here? Why are they kneeling in a birthday celebration?"

Leoric answered bluntly, "These two guys defamed Boss Nicholson just now, and Mr. Carter wanted to teach them a lesson! They were begging the officers for help."

Jim's eyes turned cold upon hearing such disrespect as he said icily, "Begging for help? Just arrest them and punish them according to military law!"

Eric shivered when he heard that, and his lips trembled, but he was too scared to say anything.

Zeke was even worse. His eyes rolled to the back, and he actually fainted.
