Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218: As Expected by All (4)

“Please make way, everyone.” Abel brought the loudspeaker to his lips, “Could everyone please make way for Her Highness, the Princess.”

The crowd, which the soldiers couldn’t disperse no matter how hard they tried, immediately stepped aside.

When Gan Yuan finally set foot on this land on the eastern bank of Chihe, she had already conquered the hearts of all the people in the Northwest with her charisma.

General Barton never expected that his own presumptuous arrangements, in a certain sense, would have ultimately benefited Gan Yuan.

Passing through the crowd, she walked up the steps, coming face to face with General Barton…

This short distance of a hundred meters was enough to make Gan Yuan the people’s hope.

When she stood before General Barton, everyone had already regarded her as their beacon of hope.

“Your Highness, the Princess, long time no see!” General Barton spoke with a cold voice, “You certainly didn’t expect us to meet like this today, did you?”

“In fact, I truly didn’t expect it.” Gan Yuan slightly curled her lips, “I do regret it a bit now, I should have killed you that night!”

Several of General Barton’s confidants behind him immediately showed ferocious glints, wanting to stir trouble with her, but General Barton knew that this was not the time to clash with her.

At this moment, everyone in the square regarded her as a god-like existence.

If he made a move against her in front of them, these fanatics would surely join forces and tear them apart.

“Your Highness, please!”

He raised his hand, inviting her to enter, blocking the route ahead.

“Wait a moment.” Gan Yuan turned her face, looking towards the President who was tied in the center of the square at the Bell Tower, “I have brought the hostage according to your request, now, I want you to release him immediately.”

General Barton glanced at his family who had returned behind him, then sidelong looked at the President who was almost fainting in mid-air, and lightly raised his finger.

“Release him!”

At this time, Gan Yuan was already within his grasp, capturing her was as easy as reaching his hand into a sack; as long as they walked with him into the meeting room, it was equivalent to stepping into his prison.

He had no intention of acting impulsively with her right now.

Immediately, a subordinate ran over to release the President tied to the Bell Tower, and without needing orders, someone from the crowd ran over to support the nearly fainting President, bringing water to his lips.

Huangfu Jue nodded slightly to Gan Yuan, signaling her not to worry.

Among the crowd, agents of the Thorn Rose were also present, and they would naturally take care of the President’s safety.

Receiving his signal, Gan Yuan withdrew her gaze.

“General Barton, please!”

General Barton smiled inscrutably, “Her Highness the Princess and the Duke are guests, please go first!”

Gan Yuan did not stand on ceremony and stepped towards the main entrance. Huangfu Jue quickly caught up with her to her side, just in case, and Abel walked lazily behind.

General Barton glanced at the playboy who was looking all around with contempt and sneered, bringing such a useless person along, the two of them were really… bold, thinking that with their noble status, he really wouldn’t dare to touch them?

Feeling his gaze, Abel lightly coughed and shrank closer to Huangfu Jue’s side, Barton’s eyes became even more disdainful watching his “cowardly” behavior.

By this time, everyone had entered the hall, and General Barton marched confidently to the large conference room on the second floor.

Now, they had entered the City Hall, a building that he had long fortified like an iron bastion.

From here on, they were meat on his chopping block, at his mercy.

Good afternoon
