Chapter 155 Is This the Real You?
"Battle tanks!"
"Am I seeing things?"
The crowd erupted in astonishment.
Everyone was already in an uproar, staring in disbelief at the four genuine battle tanks before them.
The atmosphere was extremely tense so that no one dared to breathe.
This was the kind of scene you only see in movies. Why was it happening here?
"What the hell is going on? Is this the Twilight Brotherhood's backup? This is too much, these are battle tanks!"
"Wrong! These are Merkava IV battle tanks, the main battle tanks of Israel. They weigh sixty-five tons, can travel up to seventy miles per hour, and are among the most advanced battle tanks in the world. Each one costs twenty-three million dollars!"
At this point, someone in the crowd who was interestedin military hardware couldn't wait to explain, while checking their phone.
"So these four are worth a moving hundred million dollars!"
Everyone was stunned and deeply shocked by the scene before them.
This wasn't just about money, these tanks were armed!
Everyone mistakenly thought it was Owen's Twilight Brotherhood's backup, but as time passed, they realized something was wrong.
The four cannons didn't adjust their angles at all. They were aimed directly at Owen and his men.
Moreover, it looked like Owen was trembling all over, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
Michelle was already pale with fear. She trembled all over as sitting on the ground.
And that wasn't all.
Just as everyone was infinitely shocked, a rumbling sound came from the distant sky.
"Look at the sky!"
Everyone looked up and saw three black dots rapidly flying towards them.
"Helicopters! Armed helicopters!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
At this moment, no one could stay calm.
Especially when the three armed helicopters hovered over the pharmaceutical factory, the powerful airflow from the high-speed rotating rotors made it hard for the crowd in the square to stand. They all covered their ears and crouched down to find shelter.
Three ropes were thrown down, and the crowd saw the cabin doors open. Some people began to rappel down from the helicopters.
"They're all armed soldiers!"
"They're special forces!"
Everyone was utterly shocked.
Today completely refreshed their understanding of the world.
Eighteen people descended from the three armed helicopters. They were fully armed, in green camouflage, bulletproof vests, combat boots, green helmets, tactical goggles, and equipped with guns and ammunition.
It made people almost faint.
It was straight out of a movie.
So powerful.
Meanwhile, the brothers of Owen's Twilight Brotherhood were all staring in shock.
The moment these special forces landed, they holstered their guns and then rushed towards the thugs with blades. Without any fancy moves, in just three minutes, all the dozens of black-suited thugs were disarmed and controlled.
Fifteen special forces, like a pack of tigers, tore through the group of thugs like sheep, dismantling them completely!
The screams were endless.
They were all part of the Lindwood City special forces, highly trained and exceptionally skilled, the nation's finest.
Three of them, upon landing, immediately formed a protective triangle around William, glaring at the restless crowd.
At the slightest hint of movement, their fingers would tighten on the triggers, ready to fire live ammunition.
"Team One, secure!"
"Team Two, secure!"
"Team Three, secure!"
"Captain, all threats neutralized and controlled!"
One chilling report after another echoed through the scene.
At this moment, within a 70-foot radius of William, there was no one except for the terrified Owen, Michelle, and Gerald, the special forces, and the subdued thugs on the ground.
In just three minutes, everything had changed.
Now everyone knew that these people were called by William .
Everyone gasped and they realized that today, the Twilight Brotherhood and the Garcia family were done for.
At this moment, they remembered what William had said earlier about destroying the Garcia family.
This was no joke!
How much power did it take to mobilize battle tanks and special forces?
Owen was completely dumbfounded. He was the head of the Twilight Brotherhood, one of the four major forces in Imperial City, and Timothy's beloved godson.
Over the years, he had seen many storms and met many powerful people
But now, he was panicking, completely panicking, his legs trembling uncontrollably because of such terrifying power.
This kind of power was beyond comprehension, something only those few elder statesmen could wield!
It was terrifying.
The young man before him had already exceeded Owen's imagination; he couldn't afford to provoke him, the Twilight Brotherhood couldn't afford to provoke him, and the Garcia family couldn't afford to provoke him.
It was over.
Who was he?
Owen desperately tried to recall the people he had met over the years, but he failed.
Even the Miller family, the White family, the Johnson family—such super powerful families—he had met many people from them, but none like the person standing before him now.
No one could pull off something like this, and no one would dare.
But now, someone had.
And that someone was standing right in front of him, making Owen's soul tremble with fear.
Just as Owen was about to take a step, the barrel of the tank cannon twitched, and he heard the sound of a shell being loaded—click!
In an instant, Owen turned pale with fright and dropped to his knees.
As Owen knelt, Michelle and Gerald followed suit.
They had no choice, they couldn't stand because their legs were trembling.
There was even a faint smell of urine in the air.
A glance revealed that Michelle and Gerald, the couple, had both wet themselves in fear.
Michelle's previous elegance and arrogance were completely gone; she knelt there, trembling all over, her face ashen.
"This is insane!"
"Who the hell is this guy? These are special forces, not something that can be mobilized easily."
"I'm so pumped right now; this is just like a movie plot."
Everyone held their breath to watch the series of dramatic reversals, each more shocking than the last.
However, the next scene was even more astonishing.
"Lindwood City Special Forces Fourth Squad, all eighteen members present, reporting for duty as ordered by the family!"
All eighteen armed special forces soldiers stood at attention and saluted William in front of everyone.
The scene fell silent.
Everyone was already numb with shock.
The Twilight Brotherhood, such a powerful force, was controlled in an instant.
Even Owen was now kneeling on the ground.
It was unbelievable.
This was a direct hit to the soul.
William was the most terrifying and invincible presence. Could he be a scion of a hidden top-tier family?
William watched everything silently, he held the weak Mary tightly in his arms. Mary breathed weakly, trembling all over, clinging to William for safety.
Mary struggled to open her eyes, looking at William with tears.
William looked down at her with a gentle smile on his lips, he said softly, "Don't worry, no one can bully you. I'll take you home now."
William didn't give any orders, so the special forces didn't make any further moves.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, William, holding Mary, walked step by step towards Michelle. All the special forces made way for him, but they also protected William without moving an inch.
William, who was holding Mary, walked up to the already petrified Michelle.
Facing the ordinary man before her,Michelle was trembling uncontrollably.
"Is the Garcia family so impressive?"
William stared at her, his voice cold and his gaze icy.
William took a phone from the special forces behind him and threw it in front of Michelle, coldly saying, "Watch."
Michelle didn't dare disobey, trembling as she picked up the phone from the ground.
Immediately, she saw a video.
A large police force had surrounded the Garcia family, even deploying the Imperial City special forces. The scene was chaotic.
In the footage, Timothy was directly taken away by the authorities.
And the Garcia family was completely raided in an instant.
On-site, many citizens were watching, taking photos, and reporters and TV stations were broadcasting the event.
One of the eight great families of Imperial City, the Garcia family, had collapsed in an instant.
This event caused a huge uproar in Imperial City, leaving everyone in shock.
That was the Garcia family, Timothy.
And they were completely raided in a single day.
The remaining major families were all trembling with fear. They sent people to find out what the Garcia family had done.
But the response they got was the same: anyone who inquired would meet the same fate as the Garcia family.
At this moment, Michelle collapsed on the ground. Her eyes were full of tears. She hugged William's leg, crying loudly for mercy.
But William turned away coldly and walked towards Owen, "You know what to do, right?"
Owen, ashen-faced, gritted his teeth and picked up a blade from the ground.
With a swing of the knife, an arm fell. His blood gushed.
He severed his own arm.
"From today on, the Twilight Brotherhood is no more. Owen will retire and never reappear in the world."
With one sentence, the entire place fell silent.
William said nothing. He turned and left with Mary in his arms.
Everyone was as silent as a cicada in winter, not daring to make a sound.
The aura was too overwhelming.
At this moment, Mary was leaning in William's arms; she slightly opened her eyes and murmured, "William, tell me, is this the real you?"
