Chapter 42: The Defense Minister Kneels

The man before them! He was the Son of Hell! The founder of the Reaper Organization! Instantly, Tonksen dared not speak! No wonder the Son of Hell! His murderous aura was so palpable! Meanwhile, the members of Lucy’s family were all dumbfounded. They knew Tonksen was no ordinary man. He was one of the most formidable people in San Francisco! If someone like him called another person “Angel,” then... At this thought, everyone’s hearts trembled with fear. Who exactly had they offended? Why was this happening? The entire Lucy family knelt, trembling, not daring to raise their heads. “We were wrong! We have truly sinned! Please forgive us!” At this moment, all the members of the Lucy family were on the verge of tears. When they heard “Reaper Organization,” they knew they were in big trouble! Especially Jenna, who knew her sins were severe! She began to blame her family! Why did they have to provoke these people? After all, she was part of the Lucy family; not just anyone could bully her! “Mr. Tonksen! Don’t forget, you’re here for peace!” Tonksen was speechless. Peace? Was peace more important than his life? Tonksen signaled with his eyes for Jenna to shut up. Jenna was stunned. It was the first time she had seen Mr. Tonksen so... scared! It was over, completely over! Someone who could frighten Mr. Tonksen like this was someone she had never encountered! Who exactly was Lucy’s wild man? As Jenna was collapsing mentally. Tonksen looked at Joseph with admiration. So, this was the man who had helped him countless times abroad! Unexpected! He had never thought it would end like this! Initially, Tonksen believed Joseph and his team would never return from abroad. But now he saw they could come back and help domestically as well. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have joined Joseph long ago! He no longer wanted to be a commander! He just wanted to cling to the Reaper Organization! The thought of fighting alongside Joseph made him incredibly excited! Moreover, the other members of the Reaper Organization were exceptionally skilled! Especially that little girl who looked like an angel! She was so soft and adorable yet so powerful! Simply perfect! Little did he know, the angel-like Azazel he admired was just as deadly as the Reaper! Tonksen had already made up his mind. If he could join the Reaper Organization, he would train diligently and strive to be one of the best! He hoped to earn the respect of the Reaper Squad! However, Tonksen didn’t realize that the Reaper hadn’t reserved a place for him! Fortunately, Tonksen also understood that there were many things about the Hell Organization that he was not privy to. As long as he held tightly to Joseph, his future would be secure! So Tonksen took a step closer to Joseph. “Mr. Joseph, I, I…” Joseph shot him a sharp look. Damn, he had planned to keep his identity hidden! Now this idiot had blurted everything out! Good for nothing! Joseph didn’t speak, but his gaze was chilling. Tonksen saw the murderous intent in his eyes! Quickly, he regained his composure. Since everything was out in the open, Tonksen decided not to hide anything! “Rest assured, I won’t reveal your identity!” He said this, looking at Joseph and Azazel. Upon hearing this, Joseph and Azazel exchanged a glance. Although they didn’t say anything explicitly, Tonksen seemed to understand something. “Did I say too much?” Joseph was almost exasperated. “I told you not to reveal my identity…” “I didn’t…” Tonksen reflexively denied it, then quickly looked up. “Ah! Mr. Joseph, I, I didn’t mean to! It’s all my fault!” He knelt before Joseph! Wait. The head of the defense force, kneeling to Joseph?! Everyone was stunned, eyes filled with disbelief! “I was wrong, I really was!” Tonksen was completely on the ground, continuously begging Joseph for forgiveness. Tonksen had his pride. As a top-tier defense personnel, he had confidence and courage, even when faced with the most dangerous criminals. However. He hadn’t anticipated that all his confidence and pride would shatter in one night. Joseph merely snorted, not responding. But Tonksen didn’t give up! “I know I spoke out of turn. I sincerely apologize now!” Joseph: “…” Tonksen continued to kneel and kowtow, repeatedly apologizing! “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I was wrong, please forgive me!” Jenna was completely dumbfounded! What was she seeing? A high-ranking defense officer kneeling? Moreover, it seemed he was kneeling voluntarily! What else could possibly happen around this person?! “Get up.” Joseph waved his hand. “Although I don’t understand your actions, I know you’re a decent person.” “So, I won’t harm you.” But Tonksen was not content. “Sir, I know I’ve done many wrong things! If you don’t punish me, my conscience won’t let me rest! Sir!” He was about to kneel again. Joseph ‘tsk’d. Tonksen realized he was annoyed. “Alright, alright, sir, I’ll follow your orders!” At the same time, the sound of cars arrived outside. Everyone looked out, and Giselle approached. Giselle’s men placed something wrapped in a sack in front of everyone. “Mr. Joseph, I apologize for being late.”
