Chapter 266
"Deploy a battalion?”
The Zimmer family members expressed disbelief upon hearing Cameron's claim to mobilize a fully armed battalion from the Yrando Military Region.
Mockery spread across their faces. They found the idea that a discarded member of the Morgan family could wield such power absurd.
"You seem adept at intimidation,” one of them taunted sarcastically. “Do you really think we're as naive as those who've never ventured beyond their front doors, easily fooled by such claims?”
The mocking continued. “A battalion, is it? Why not a regiment or even a division?” Their laughter filled the room as they were clearly unimpressed and unconvinced by Cameron's threat.
“There's no need to waste so many resources just to deal with you,” Cameron stated calmly with a gaze unwavering amidst the scornful sea.
Their derision intensified. “Oh, feeling bold, are we?"
“Can't you tell we're being sarcastic?” they jeered, viewing Cameron as nothing more than a jester. Max couldn't mask his disdain. From his perspective, Cameron couldn’t even summon a squad or a platoon, let alone a battalion. They wondered why the Morgan family would discard him if Cameron truly had such capabilities.
“If you wish to laugh, do so now while you can. Soon, you'll have no such opportunity.” Cameron's voice was cold as his gaze swept across the mocking faces. It was as if he was delivering a divine judgment.
The family’s fury simmered beneath the surface, “Such arrogance from a mere brat!” they thought. Chad, Duncan's brother, couldn’t hold back his anger any longer. “Enough of his nonsense, Dad. Let's teach him a lesson now!"
“Wait,” Max intervened with a sly and gleaming eyes. “He claimed a battalion is on its way, right? Let's give him five minutes. If no one shows up, then we'll proceed as planned.”
Duncan smirked and crossed his arms defiantly. “Let's see this so-called battalion you speak of. Don't disappoint us by failing to summon even a single person.”
Cameron remained silent as his internal countdown ticked away.
As the five minutes passed, Duncan couldn't resist taunting, “Time's up. Where's this army of yours? Cameron's expression stayed stoic, even as the family’s laughter grew louder. They were ready to dismiss him outright.
Suddenly, a thunderous crash at the villa's entrance startled everyone. Seconds later, armed soldiers Chapter 266
flooded in, surrounding the premises and aiming their weapons at the stunned Zimmer family members.

Fear took hold of the family as the reality of Cameron's claim unfolded before them. A man adorned with the rank of a lieutenant colonel approached Cameron with respect.
His booming voice filled the room. “Lieutenant Colonel Larson from the Yrando Military Region is reporting as ordered, awaiting your commands, Mr. Morgan!” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
