Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

484 The battle (3)

"Yet, you're still alive? I bet you would have died from hunger on the first day," Jeslyn snorted. (1

"Please, forgive me for being rude, but what exactly is she doing here? We are holding an important meeting for crying out loud! This is not a picnic!"

Everyone turned to look at the man who said that. He was wearing the Yu faction's uniform. Undeniably, the leader of the five thousand men sent by Damien. Some men on the table shook their heads in pity. Inspector Fin gasped and Rex chuckled. Matt, on the other hand, glanced at the guy and rolled his eyes.

Maverick didn't even shift his gaze away from his wife when he heard that.

As for Jeslyn, she was amazed by the guy's words. It was apparent that he had anger in his heart.

"It seems you have a lot to say?" Jeslyn asked a rhetorical question. She wasn't expecting an answer but he was bold enough to reply.

"Of course, I do! Do you know how many men I've lost in the past two days, all because of you?! That man is your father, isn't he? Why can't you settle things amicably with him? Did you have to sacrifice people's lives just to vent? I thought they said you're the people's little sister or whatever, I don't see that in you!"

"You're not done, continue," Jeslyn said with interest.

The man finally looked around him. All the men around him were looking at him with wide eyes. Rex was still laughing and Alpha Chaos was playing with her hair without caring about what he was saying Seeing the amount of nonchalance, it fuelled the guy's hatred for Jeslyn. He bolted up and slammed his hand on the desk.

"Of what use is a mere celebrity here? I lost my girlfriend today just because of you! She was a girl too, but she knew better to be a useful one and not some burden! She wouldn't have died if she wasn't here to fight for you! You can't just sit back, while other girls go to war. What makes you special!!"

Maverick paused and finally shifted his gaze to the guy.

"Hahahaha... Brother, it seems people are no longer scared of you. Maybe it started when you stopped wearing black. Hahaha!"

"And also since he started appearing on TVs and allowing Media houses, say shit about him," Inspector Fin added teasingly.

Jeslyn glanced at her husband's hand and saw it playing with a small knife.

She smiled. Others from the Yu faction must have been thinking the same thing. If she allows her husband to kill their leader, they might turn their back against him in war.

She held her husband's hand and chuckled.

Maverick held her hands and smiled while looking into her eyes. "How do you want to punish him?"

"Talk about punishment if he comes back alive. Meanwhile, let me clear up his misconception," Jeslyn turned to the man and started walking slowly towards him.

"First of all, you're fighting for a cause that you all would benefit from. Before coming here, did

you not ask your Master what this war is about or you're just looking for ways to cause trouble?" The guy turned his face away. Meaning he knew and was only trying to cause disharmony between

the men.

Jeslyn narrowed her eyes. Is this man working for Mr. Hwang? Her senses sharpened, as she thought of the number of men they've lost so far. They've lost almost four thousand men in just three days. No one thought it was weird because the opponent had too many fighting weapons, not excluding fighting jets, deadly explosives and so on.

Not as if Maverick doesn't have such but the enemies attack without notice and leave before Maverick

retaliates.

So this is what it is!

"If I remember correctly, Damien attended my baby shower with those he always walks around with, which are Randy and Kim. So how did you conclude that Mr. Hwang is my father and that we have bad blood?"

"Yo-"

"Ah, before

you tell me about the media, my baby shower wasn't on live. When Mr. Hwang came, some people had already gone home. No one recorded anything about that, so nothing was posted online, meaning, you either got the gist from Damien..."

"Of cours-"

"... Or from Hwang Min," she raised a brow at his surprised face.

Not just him, everyone looked shocked.

"What do you mean?" Rex asked. None of them thought there could be a spy among them, not even Maverick. Then that must be why they've been losing the battle!

"What I mean is, this dude is working for Mr. Hwang. We all know Damien is not the type to gossip with his men when he is always after my sister-in-law. Which leaves us to believe that he has been in contact with Hwang Min who told him to cause disharmony around here. To achieve that, he caused his girlfriend to die so his rebellion would look real.

"Hwang Min knows that my husband is not one to tolerate disrespect. If my husband kills this betrayer, his men would get angry and withdraw, then leave my husband to fight alone." "Why do you think Mr. Hwang would want to do that? He has twenty thousand men and if we continue like this, he would win the war." One of the Captains sitting around the table asked. "He is planning a step ahead. Once he wins this war, he'll need more Army to go against the government and whoever cross his lane. That's where that Buffalo and his team comes in.

"Do I also need to say he is the reason you've been losing the battle because he gives Mr. Hwang your plans?"

Everyone in the room was enraged. They wanted nothing but to pounce on the man right here. Seeing he had been caught, the man stopped pretending and laughed.

2/3

"It's already too late. Mr. Hwang is in control now. How many men does Alpha Chaos have to continue fighting? Brothers, if you come with me now, I guarantee you, Mr. Hwang will treat you well!" "Shut up!" One of the Captains yelled, he is a member of the Lu faction.

Jeslyn immediately raised her hand to stop the guy from speaking further.
