That night, the top of the back mountain turned into a sea of fire!
Hundreds of armed helicopters, dozens of armored vehicles, and 100,000 Dragon Divine Army opened fire together. The scene was extremely shocking!
The Zack family's 20,000 men vanished without a trace, leaving no remains to be buried.
Horacio didn't even look at it. Because to him, such a scene was like setting off fireworks.
He was driving down the mountain alone. When he was halfway down the mountain, he suddenly pulled over and stopped.
He opened the car door and walked out. He leaned against the car door and slowly lit a cigarette. He said calmly, "If people know that the highest and most commanding officer in the war department of Land of the Red Dragon stalks others, your reputation will be ruined. How are you going to meet people in the future?"
"This is not stalking. I just saw that you were too busy. I'm afraid to disturb you."
Accompanied by a voice, a figure walked out of the darkness.
Yuri smiled at Horacio and said, "Lord, are you satisfied with the gift I just sent?"
"It's okay. Say what you want to say. I still have to go back to accompany my wife." Horacio said impatiently.
"Okay, then I'll get right to the point!"
Yuri said, "You should know the rules of the Land of the Red Dragon. You must know what it means if you bring so many armed personnel into the country at one time."
"I bear all the pressure on this matter by myself and personally give the order that no one is allowed to intercept you."
"But I am not the only one who has the final say in Land of the Red Dragon. If this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid I will not be able to absolve myself of the blame."
Horacio glanced sideways at the old man, thinking that he was really an old fox. Yuri indirectly told him that he owed Yuri a huge favor.
But in fact, this was also true. Horacio did make things a bit serious this time.
And if Yuri hadn't ordered anyone not to intercept him, he wouldn't have been able to rush to Junclein City so quickly, and his wife and daughter would definitely have been in trouble.
So, from this aspect, Horacio really owed Yuri a huge favor.
"Okay, I don't want to make things difficult for you either."
Horacio blew out a smoke ring and said calmly, "Let's do this. I will gather all the 100,000 soldiers of Dragon God Palace now. You can tie us up and then capture and shoot us all!"
Yuri raised his hand and said with a smile, "This is impossible. Dragon God Palace is Land of the Red Dragon's solid barrier from the outside world, and you're the pillar of Land of the Red Dragon."
Hearing these words, Horacio suddenly felt something was wrong, and his face became condensed. "What on earth do you want to do?"
Yuri narrowed his eyes and smiled. "If you're willing to accept the canonization, then you'll be one of us!"
"Since you're one of us, it is reasonable to hold a large-scale maneuver in the territory of Land of the Red Dragon."
Damn it, you old fox!
Horacio was angry because he talked for a long time. In the end, the old man intended to incorporate the Dragon God Palace.
However, the reasons he gave were indeed very sufficient, and Horacio seemed to be unable to find any excuse to refuse.
"Come on! Don't beat around the bush with me here."
Horacio said seriously, "I can accept your canonization, but I have something to declare first!"
"The person who accepts the canonization is only me, Horacio, and it has nothing to do with the 100,000 soldiers of Dragon God Palace."
"Besides, I'm usually lazy and don't like to be told what to do. With these two conditions, you can do whatever you like!"
Yuri looked happy. "Okay, then just do as you said!"
"I'll go back and prepare for the canonization right away. Besides, this is just an independent title. No one can tell you what to do!"
"Even if there is something that requires you to take action, everyone will discuss it when the time comes!"
Horacio threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out. "You can figure it out yourself. Just don't make it too troublesome for me."
After saying that, he started the car and drove away.
Yuri stood there, looking in the direction Horacio left with a hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth.
This young man was indeed very capable. Although his behavior was relatively undisciplined, he was loyal.
When time passed, he believed Horacio would become the true backbone of the Land of the Red Dragon!
"Dad!"
In the ward, Deborah saw Horacio walking in from the door quickly, opened her arms, and ran over.
"Good girl. Let me hug you!"
Horacio picked up Deborah, his eyes full of doting, and his heart filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and happiness.
"Dad, the four ladies played 'Green Light, Red Light' with me just now. It was fun, but they left first because they had something else to do. Can you play with me next time?"
Deborah blinked a pair of big eyes that flickered.
"Of course, I also have many fun games. I'll play with you as much as I can in the future!"
"Great! Thank you, Dad!"
Seeing that Horacio came back unscathed, Gemma breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where were you just now? Did they make things difficult for you?"
Gemma asked with concern, and at the same time, she was quite confused. She knew very well who Billmeyer was. How could it be possible for Horacio to come back unscathed?
"I just went out for a walk. The man was quite sensible. After I reasoned with him, he left." Horacio smiled.
Gemma always felt that this explanation was a bit far-fetched, but for a while, she didn't know how to refute it. After all, Horacio was indeed standing in front of him intact.
"Horacio, come out with me!"
Hilary was not as easily fooled as Gemma, so she called Horacio to go out with her.
"Don't play tricks with me. I won't fall for your deception like Gemma would."
"Tell me honestly. What happened?"
"Just now, the Zack family suddenly gathered together and went to the back mountain in a mighty manner. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Horacio spread his hands and said, "This has nothing to do with me. Just after Billmeyer and I left, he suddenly answered the phone and left in a hurry."
"As for why the Zack family went to the back mountain, I don't know. You don't think I can make the Zack family make such a big fuss, do you?"
Hilary stared at Horacio suspiciously for a few seconds. She always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Put this matter aside for now. I'm warning you. Now that you're back, please treat Gemma and Deborah well from now on!"
"If you dare to mistreat them in any way, then I'll deal with you!"
Hilary stared at Horacio and waved her fist before turning back to the ward.
Immediately afterward, the TV hanging on the wall suddenly broadcast a piece of news that shocked the entire Junclein City.
The Zack family committed crimes and colluded with forces from outside the region. Today, they were wiped out by the War Department, completely pulling out the cancer that had been entrenched in Junclein City for many years...
As soon as this news came out, the entire Junclein City was boiling.
Everyone was excited and rushed to the streets to play music and dance, just like celebrating the New Year.
From this, one could tell how many bad things the Zack family had done in Junclein City over the years.
Gemma and Hilary were also completely relieved. This time, they no longer had to worry about them causing trouble.
The doubts about Horacio vanished.
"You're lucky. Otherwise, you might have died!"
Hilary glared at Horacio, then stood up and said, "Okay, the Zack family has fallen, and now you are safe. I will go back and have a good sleep first, and you should also rest early."
"Deborah, take me to the door," Hilary called Deborah out.
After a while, Deborah came back from outside, holding a bank card in her hand. "Mom, look. Hilary gave me a gift."
"She also said that this is for me, and no one is allowed to refuse it. Otherwise, she will make things difficult for that person."
"Hilary is really..." Gemma's heart was filled with gratitude.
In the past few years, Hilary had helped them a lot, and she felt that she would never be able to repay her debt to Hilary in her lifetime.
"Your best friend is quite generous. I will thank her properly someday!" Horacio nodded in appreciation.
Gemma bitterly shook her head. "She has helped us too many times in the past few years. I feel sorry. I may never be able to repay what I owe her in my lifetime."
When Horacio heard this, he felt very guilty. He stepped forward, gently grabbed Gemma's hand, and said softly, "Deborah and you have suffered so much these years. Don't worry. I will never let you guys suffer in the slightest again!"
Gemma's body recovered very well, and she had the best doctor and medicine, so she was approved by the hospital to go home to recuperate that night.
Walking into the dilapidated small house, Horacio felt mixed emotions.
The room was tiny, one bedroom and one living room, less than 40 square meters.
The furnishings inside were also very simple, not even a decent household appliance.
But the house was tidy and clean.
There was a glass bottle on the window sill with a handful of wildflowers. It could tell that although Gemma and Deborah lived a hard life, they never gave up their yearning for a better life.
Horacio originally planned to sleep on the sofa, but Deborah took the initiative and threw her quilt on the sofa, saying, "I will sleep on the sofa at night. Dad and Mom will sleep together."
Horacio smiled and gently pinched Deborah's pink cheek, and said happily, "You are my good daughter. You're so sensible."
