Chapter 950: Chapter 950: Need a Heart (4)
Betrayal of such a magnitude had become inevitable; staying in the Capital would be akin to offering oneself as prey. General Barton, of course, would not willingly be the lamb on the butcher’s block.
"Notify the President immediately, tell him there’s news about the child."
The assistant frowned, "What do you mean?"
General Barton sneered, "With the President here, we can leave smoothly."
The assistant nodded and promptly exited the room. The bodyguard outside noticed his departure and approached.
"Sir, is there anything you need?"
"Please notify the President immediately and say there’s already a lead on the young prince."
"Understood!"
The staff, perplexed but compliant, turned and went to notify the President.
In the bedroom, the President had just taken off his coat, intending to rest for a while. Upon hearing the news, he immediately put his coat back on and headed to General Barton’s room.
"News?"
"Yes!" General Barton smiled as he approached, "We just received a call; we’ve found the child..."
As he spoke, his right hand lifted, pressing a gun against the President’s chest.
The President was stunned.
"You?!"
At this moment, General Barton’s assistant swiftly grabbed the aide who walked in behind the President, slicing his throat with a fruit knife.
"Barton!" The President’s voice immediately sharpened, "You better think clearly about what you’re doing!"
"I know exactly what I’m doing." General Barton replied nonchalantly, "However, I should remind you, Mr. President, it’s best not to act rashly, or else, your wife and children... they could be in danger." noveldrama
Wife and children?
The President’s face changed dramatically, "You... what have you done?"
Outside, footsteps hurried.
Two of the President’s security personnel entered, escorting the President’s wife and their just-turned ten-year-old son.
Seeing the President, the mother and child rushed over timidly. The President stretched out his arms to protect his wife and child, glaring furiously at Barton.
"General Barton, are you committing treason?"
"Ha..." General Barton laughed coldly, "Treason? This country should have been mine from the start."
He gestured, and his men came over to pull the President’s wife and son aside, holding them at gunpoint.
"Mr. President, time to get ready for the plane."
Barton commanded coldly, and his assistant handed a phone receiver to the President.
The President, wary of harming his family, had no choice but to obey his orders. He took the receiver and dialed an extension, "Prepare the plane for me, yes, right now, immediately!"
"Is there anything special?" asked the voice on the other end.
The President glanced at his wife, being held at gunpoint, "No, but notify me once the plane is ready, do not inform anyone else. This time, I’m traveling light."
"Understood, Mr. President."
A moment later, the phone on the desk rang, informing him the plane was ready.
General Barton immediately led his men, taking the President and his family of three aboard the plane.
The staff found it odd but couldn’t decipher the President’s intentions, so they respectfully escorted them to the plane.
After the plane took off into the sky, Barton’s men quickly moved forward, pressing a gun against the pilot’s head.
"Switch to autopilot."
