The Beckett family.
The entire mansion was surrounded by the military region. Planes, cannons, tanks were stationed outside. In one of the villas, the members of the Beckett family were gathered.
Some of the family members reported to Henry Beckett, “Master, we are surrounded outside by the military region. Our people dare not resist. According to the information we received, the Tang family is also surrounded. We tried to communicate with them, but they seem unwilling to talk, as if they are waiting for someone.”
“The Tang family!”
Henry Beckett repeated these two words, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes.
If it was only his family, he might have offended someone or encountered some trouble. But if the Tang family was also surrounded, he could imagine the worst outcome-the discovery of the Harding family.
As allies of the Harding family, they couldn’t escape either.
“Dad, what’s happening…?”
At this moment, Mimi Beckett walked out from her sleep, tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes. She looked at the situation outside and couldn’t help but ask anxiously.
“Let’s go out and see,” Henry Beckett sighed, then took his family out. On the large lawn outside, he saw a general who seemed somewhat familiar. He immediately asked, “Officer Smith, what has my family done to warrant such a massive operation?”
Officer Smith didn’t answer, he just stared at Henry Beckett for a while before finally saying, “The Harding family has been eliminated, and there is evidence showing that you are allies of the Harding family.”
Clang!
It felt as if a heavy stone had fallen into Henry Beckett’s heart, and his face turned pale.
As he had suspected, the worst outcome had indeed occurred-the discovery of the Harding family.
“Officer Smith, I am guilty. I colluded with the Harding family, but my daughter is innocent. I beg you, please find a way. I am willing to give you all my family’s assets in exchange for sparing my daughter’s life,” Henry Beckett pleaded with Officer Smith.
The Harding family were traitors, and colluding with them made him a traitor as well. Kisia’s punishment for traitors was always severe.
However, he wanted to save Mimi Beckett, his only daughter.
“Dad,” Mimi Beckett tried to reach out and hold Henry Beckett.
However, Henry Beckett shook his arm to push Mimi Beckett away. Then, he attempted to kneel down before Officer Smith. But Officer Smith sighed and said, “Kneeling to me won’t help. I’m just a low-ranking officer and don’t have the authority to decide anything.”
“Then Mr. Osborne?” Henry Beckett cautiously asked, as it seemed he knew Mr. Osborne.
“Mr. Osborne won’t do either. This time, it’s the one from the top who has arrived. Unless he declares otherwise, no one dares to intercede for you,” Officer Smith replied, pointing upward with his finger.
He didn’t want to say it, but he looked at Henry Beckett, who was pleading for his daughter. Officer Smith also had a daughter. For a moment, he was moved and decided to help them once more, based on their relationship.
In fact, this went against discipline, and he would seek forgiveness for it later.
“The top.”
Henry Beckett looked up at the sky, feeling dizzy. He wanted to sit on the ground because he already guessed who it was. Only that person had the authority to mobilize such a large army and the capability to crush the Harding family.
“Kisia, the number one War God, Robin Bailey!”
Henry Beckett felt suffocated.
At that moment, a row of helicopters arrived, and one of them descended slowly. A figure jumped down from it before Henry Beckett could get a clear view. Immediately, Henry Beckett shouted, “All members of the Beckett family, kneel!”
Kneel!
He wanted to take responsibility.
Suddenly, all members of the Beckett family knelt down because the command of the Beckett family’s head could not be disobeyed.
“Guilty Henry Beckett pays respects to the War God. This matter is solely my fault, and the others are unaware. I, Henry Beckett, am willing to be executed and pay any price to beg for mercy for my daughter,” Henry Beckett said loudly, humbly.
His wife died giving birth to Mimi Beckett, leaving only Mimi Beckett behind. She was his everything.
“When I was young, I was a poor boy. I worked hard, got into a prestigious university, but later I realized that the disparity between people was vast. I couldn’t achieve much and ended up offending someone. Life became difficult until I met a noble person who helped me. That person’s name was Harding.”
“I gained everything afterward. So, even if the Harding family betrayed us, I was prepared for betrayal because I could repay this kindness with my life. But my daughter knew nothing from start to finish.”
“War God, my daughter has never been involved with the Harding family’s affairs. I implore you to show mercy and spare my daughter,” Henry Beckett humbly pleaded.
At this moment, there was no proud head of the Beckett family, nor a detestable traitor willing to betray Kisia for the sake of gratitude. There was only a loving father worried about his daughter.
“No,” Mimi Beckett, with tears streaming down her face, stood up and said, “No, my father didn’t tell the whole truth. I did it, I was involved. I took on tasks from the Harding family, and I plotted against Patrick Bailey. I deserve to die… I…”
She didn’t want her father to bear it alone.
However, before she could finish her words, she realized that she knew the person in front of her. At this moment, among the members of the Beckett family, only she lifted her head and looked at the person in front of her. “Patrick Bailey…”
“Yes, it’s me,” Robin Bailey approached, appearing somewhat gentle. But then, he spoke with authority, “But I am also Robin Bailey.”
“Patrick Bailey, Robin Bailey!”
Upon hearing this, the members of the Beckett family all raised their heads, especially Henry Beckett. They all looked at Robin Bailey, and Henry Beckett widened his eyes, saying, “Patrick Bailey is the Beckett family? Did you infiltrate our family to investigate the Harding family’s affairs?”
“Are you using me?”
Mimi Beckett murmured, unable to believe it.
“Mimi, I didn’t want to use you. From the beginning, I was quite indifferent, and you should have understood. Unfortunately, in the end, you didn’t choose me after a series of events,” Robin Bailey sighed.
“Patrick Bailey… No… War God, for the sake of my daughter’s admiration for you, spare her life. Or, if you want her to be your lover, I don’t mind. Let her do anything as long as she can survive,” Henry Beckett pleaded again.
He spoke so harshly because he knew that this War God was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. As long as Mimi Beckett could survive, her fate wouldn’t be too tragic. On the contrary, she might even live a good life.
However, at this moment, Robin Bailey grabbed his neck, and a chilling voice emanated from him, “Are you trying to test me? Do you really think I won’t dare to kill her? I’ve already annihilated the Harding family, let alone your Beckett family.”
“Do you dare to test me?!”
