In order to find so backup, he is now desperately looking for collaborators, even willing to offer the Northwest’s oil mines as a bargaining chip.
But so far, not a single person is willing to help him.
The reason is simple: helping him ans making an enemy of Gan Yuan, and the entire Teresa Family... No one can afford the price of provoking such foes.
The assistant approached with a frown and whispered, "General, we... have a problem, madam and the children... sothing happened!"
"What?" General Barton grabbed his collar, "What happened?!"
"I followed your orders and sent them to Switzerland, but unexpectedly, as soon as they got off the plane, we lost contact with their car." The assistant looked helpless, "It’s already been half an hour now, and we still can’t get in touch."
"Damn it!" General Barton tightened his grip on the collar, "In that case, try contacting again, call them, send soone to find them!"
"Yes, I’ll... I’ll go right away!"
The assistant hurried to comply, and General Barton pushed him away.
The assistant rushed out the door, and General Barton slamd his fist on the table, gritting his teeth as he spat out two words.
"Gan Yuan!"
To secure his family, he had kept things highly confidential, yet they suddenly went missing. The only explanation was that soone had seized control over them.
At this mont, the only people General Barton could think of were his adversaries, Gan Yuan and Huangfu Jue.
Raising his fist from the table, General Barton shouted angrily.
"Soone, co here!"
A subordinate imdiately rushed in.
"General!"
"Get the Royal Palace on the line right away, I need to speak with Gan Yuan."
"Yes!"
The subordinate turned and left, and monts later returned with the receiver.
"The call has been connected, they have notified Miss Gan."
General Barton took the receiver, brought it to his ear, and after a mont, a pleasant female voice ca through.
"Is this General Barton? This is Gan Yuan."
Hearing Gan Yuan’s voice, Barton imdiately spoke coldly, "You damned girl, let tell you, if you dare touch my family, I will level the entire Northwest, and as for your dear President, I’ll kill him first."
"General Barton," Gan Yuan’s voice was calm on the other end of the line, "I think I must remind you, you should realize by now that you are in no position to negotiate with ! If you want this issue resolved well, then... surrender to within 48 hours. This is your last chance."
"Hmph!" Barton snorted coldly, "You wish..."
"Now, the countdown begins."
Gan Yuan hung up heavily, not allowing him another word.
General Barton threw the receiver down hard, with a loud crash, the phone shattered into several pieces.
The subordinate stood nearby, holding his breath, not daring to make a sound.
"General." The assistant returned, "We still... can’t get in touch."
"Shut up!" Barton angrily cut him off, "Get out, all of you, get out."
At this point, what’s there left to contact?
Just hearing Gan Yuan’s tone, he knew his family was surely in their hands.
He had originally thought that no matter how bad things got, he could escape with his family and find a quiet place where no one would find them.
But he hadn’t expected them to abduct his family.
Even the most cold-hearted individuals still care about their own children, and General Barton was no exception.
What to do?
He walked over to the wall map, frowning deeply in thought.
