Kingsley's words were like steel spikes, piercing directly into Quintus and River's hearts!
The reason they dared hog the road was all because they had Kendall's support. They couldn't care less about making any reports or going through any procedures. However, if they became the reason the military delayed their exercise, it would be a serious crime! In the eyes of the military, Kendall was practically a nobody!
It was because they were afraid the soldiers would check their documents that they wanted to pack up and leave.
Meanwhile, Kevin frowned after hearing Kingsley's words, and he asked Quintus, "What unscrupulous thing have you done?"
The military exercise was nothing but an excuse. He brought the troops over, this time under Lancer's orders, to protect Ares, and if Kingsley said they had done something wrong, then that must be the case.
Quintus' legs turned to jelly upon being questioned, and he stammered, "I… I haven't done anything unscrupulous… I've been keeping to myself, sir, and haven't done anything illegal!"
River and Robert nodded vigorously in agreement, indicating their innocence. However, Kingsley's next words directly pushed them into the abyss.
"These people arbitrarily occupy the road for filming, forcing those who come here to shop and eat to take a detour. Even elderly people with inconvenient mobility have to take a meandering path," said Kingsley to Kevin as he pointed at Quintus. "He's the director of this production. Ask him what right he has to block the road here arbitrarily?"
Quintus nearly wet himself when Kingsley pointed to him. Alas, what one feared would come true!
Robert stomped his feet on the side and cried, "What do we do? What do we do?"
River hesitated for a moment, then gathered his courage to argue, "Colonel, don't listen to him. He has a grudge against me. This is intentional sabotage!"
