Chapter 1269: Chapter 636: Holy Mother’s Man, This Guy Deserves to Be Beaten to Death!_2

"Forget it, the boss has his way," Sean Knight responded.

"That impressive?" Wang Tianlei was obviously skeptical.

Elijah Hastings and Sean Knight exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other’s eyes.

Elijah Hastings reached out and locked the car window.

The night’s experiences had taught him not to trust Wang Tianlei with control over his hands.

The two cars drove up to the checkpoint and slowly came to a stop.

Sean Knight lowered the car window.

The soldier outside with a gun was just about to speak when suddenly, a burst of gunfire came from behind the checkpoint.

Sean Knight turned his head to look, and he found the scene was just as it had been upon arrival—they were shooting at some civilians!

The soldiers turned their heads because of the gunfire, and by the time they turned back, Sean Knight had already locked eyes with them and used an Illusion Skill, then said:

"Open the gate! Let two cars through!"

"Open the gate, let two cars through..." the soldier repeated dazedly.

"Open the gate!"

The person controlling the barrier raised it, and Sean Knight and his group drove through.

Elijah Hastings’s car immediately followed, and after the two cars had passed, the armed soldier came to his senses and looked towards the next car approaching.

About 500 meters after driving out, Sean Knight turned his head back and said coldly to Wang Tianlei:

"If we encounter another checkpoint and you disobey again, I won’t mind suggesting to your father that we tie you up and put you in the trunk!"

Captain Wang was a bit dumbfounded; he glanced at his son, whose face revealed a trace of panic, but there was more stubbornness than anything else.

He angrily demanded:

"What have you done now?"

Wang Tianlei didn’t respond.

Sean Knight said:

"He wanted to lower the car window!"

"I did not! The window wasn’t lowered!" Wang Tianlei immediately denied.

"If Captain Hastings hadn’t locked the window, your plot would have succeeded!"

"But they are massacring civilians!" Wang Tianlei loudly defended himself, "They are massacring civilians!"

"You’re not Superman, nor are you a Gundam!" Sean Knight said coldly, "We are currently fleeing for our lives, our own lives could be lost at any moment, and you still want to play the Holy Mother?"

"But we can’t just stand by and watch them die... they’re all Safa’s compatriots..."

"Slap!" Captain Wang slapped Wang Tianlei across the face, thundering, "If you keep this up, then get out of here! Go face them yourself; go and try to rescue them! We’re leaving!"

"They’re obviously so powerful, obviously, they could have saved those people, and that checkpoint only had five or six people..." Wang Tianlei, holding his face, still refused to back down, "Why didn’t they save them?"

There was no rescue to be had.

"Who do you think you are?" Before Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings could lose their tempers, Captain Wang slapped Wang Tianlei on the face once more—he was truly enraged. How could the obedient child from home change so much once here?

"Your Uncle Ran and Uncle Qin risked their lives to come and rescue us, and not only are you ungrateful, but you also want to send them into the jaws of death? Do you know where this is? This is another country!

Even if your uncles managed to rescue those people, what could be done? Could they escape? By then, it wouldn’t just be those people dying, but us! You fool!"

He pointed at Wang Tianlei and said vehemently:

"If there’s a next time, or if there’s any more talk like this, then fend for yourself here! Valuing the lives of others more than your own compatriots means you no longer deserve to be my son!"

With that, Captain Wang looked no more at his son.

Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings could hear the profound helplessness and unwillingness in Captain Wang’s tone.

They had nothing they could say.

At this moment, Captain Wang’s wife also realized her son truly didn’t understand the gravity of the situation.

What time was this? Outside there was chaos and mayhem; those people would shoot at a moment’s notice, and yet her son wanted the people in the car to go out and rescue strangers!

Though her husband had slapped their son twice and it pained her, in front of such a significant matter, Captain Wang’s wife understood clearly.

Causing trouble at this time was tantamount to handing one’s life over to others!

Sean Knight and the others drove the cars into the city; this city was similar to the last, with occasional gunfire heard and military vehicles and soldiers patrolling the streets.

The cars drove slowly to the edge of the city and then stopped at a single-story house.

Bullet holes could be seen on nearby walls, and further away, a house had been blown apart.

Sean Knight stepped forward and untwisted the lock of the college gate—pulling it directly off the door.

After opening the gate, Sean Knight motioned for the two cars to drive into the Courtyard.

The Courtyard wasn’t too large but could just fit two vehicles.

Hearing the sound of cars, there was no movement from the neighboring houses.

"Quickly get inside the house," Sean Knight again went up front to "push" the door open, then turned and whispered to those inside the cars.

Douglas Cooper and the others immediately went into the house.

Captain Wang’s family of three also entered the house with bowed heads, followed lastly by Sean Knight.

The space inside the single-story house was not small, covered with a layer of dust, indicating it had been unoccupied for a long time.

"Alright, everyone find a place to rest now. I’m going out to the supermarket to buy some supplies," Sean Knight told them, "Don’t go out unless necessary, and don’t speak loudly. The locals here have a lot of prejudice against our people, so let’s not cause any trouble."

He specifically glanced at Wang Tianlei, then turned and left.

"Captain, you all find a place to rest," Elijah Hastings said, "We’ll likely stay here until night before we leave. We’ll tidy up a bit and prepare some food."

"Okay, you have my thanks," Captain Wang, physically and mentally exhausted, knew he couldn’t be of much help at the moment, so he said, "We really owe you a lot for this journey."
