SPECIAL ACTOR

CHAPTER 237. REFUSING ORDERS

“I think it's all according to Anthony protocol! You haven't worked for a month, have you?”

“Can't you just send someone else? I can't go dad!”

“I think you're the best fit to handle the case this time. You're very talented and I've considered it and thought through it. So I chose you and already proposed to the board.”

“But I can't! I can't work now. Besides, don't I have a three-month right not to go to work after I finish my mission at Dante's? It's the protocol that Dad should have. Someone has just done field service with a very high risk then he is entitled to get a holiday for three to six months.”

“Current conditions do not allow Anthony! It's a duty demand and you've been sworn to obedience have you forgotten? You should be back on duty!”

“Dad, I'm sorry I didn't mean to be presumptuous of you. But I can't father until Bella's condition improves. Bella is my mission now and it's a continuation of Dante's home mission. I think you should leave this task to someone else father.”

Anthony insisted on rejecting his father's orders, not usually did he oppose Robert as he does now. Anthony always took all the work he was given. But this time it was different, he tried to give a thousand reasons to refuse to be reassigned.

“You have a lot of servants in our house who can take care of him. Besides you're gone only six months Anthony!” robert said again.

“Six months is not a little dad time! I can't leave. Besides I told you nothing can calm Bella but me, dad!”

“How dare you defy my orders? It's not just my orders but it's related to your duties and work! Do you understand Anthony? When you don't want to do it then there will be sanctions that you have to bear!”

“I'm sorry dad. But I can't, I will appeal to the court because I still have the right to leave for three to six months. Besides, my mission isn't done yet because my business with Bella isn't done yet. My job is Dante! All I have to do now is research the files on Dante instead of going to the White House! I race it's against the rules!” Anthony explained and refused his father's orders.

Anthony was a clever person and he knew the rule of law that applied to him. He knows how the unity he works for provides flexibility and rights and obligations for all members of the defense team. That's why he insisted on refusing his father's orders and continued to argue with General Robert Kane.

“Anthony! Even though I have power, I can't make you immune. If you refuse this job now then it means you are no longer loyal to the federal side. You'll be fired and your career will be over! Wasted all your sacrifices for these five years. Is that what you were expecting? Disrespectfully fired? Besides, you're gonna meet country leaders from all over the world at the White House and they're gonna see you! That's the right place for you to develop your wings!”

“Anthony! Think about it, you can be a leader in the future. Moreover, your marriage with Irene will be held in six months. Think about your life later Anthony! Our family can rule the military and political world!” general Robert is full of ambition.

It was the dream of General Robert Kane. He was eager to become head of state and rule politics in a country but that dream was never realized until he found out that the president's daughter liked Anthony. The man tried to piggyback, and since the closeness of Anthony and Irene, his career in the military was getting brighter.

“I'm sorry, dad. With all due respect I cannot carry out my duties now. I'm willing to accept all the sanctions that the federal side will give me if I'm found guilty and if I get fired, I accept! But for duty again I can't. I still have the right to leave for more than three months.”

Anthony was silent for a moment and sighed, “I'm not ready for duty anymore because my condition is still not stable. I reiterate back to you that Bella is my responsibility and I cannot hand her over to anyone else!”

“You defied me Anthony? You know how hard it is to be the chief of intelligence in the White House? Do you want to give up this opportunity Anthony?” robert's voice sounded maraj.

General Robert even kicked the table in front of him and could be heard by Anthony.

“I have no intention to oppose you father. I just told you my reason for refusing. Maybe if this offer is given to me in three months, I can accept it because my condition has stabilized but at this time I have not been able to, father. There are still many of my better seniors capable of carrying out that task dad!”

“You really don't want to do it Anthony! I don't care, you've got to stick with my decision! There are only two options, you keep doing your job to secure a meeting of heads of state in the White House or you get fired! Fired with dishonor Anthony!”

“I'm sorry I disappointed you dad. But I stick to my stance, I hang up the phone. I have to check on Bella.”

Clique…..

Anthony turned off his phone and put it in his pants pocket.

“Dad! You want me to leave Bella. I don't know why my feelings say that. I can't obey you dad if you really want to make Bella a mash-up! I know there'll be three more days of massive arms deals by the end of the year and you'll want to frame Dante, right? But not in a way to make Bella tumbal!”

“I don't like Dante and I'm struggling to get it but I have to think about Bella's condition. I want to see how bad Dante is because based on the information I got, Dante is innocent! This month I've been digging up information from data in federal files. I even asked for copies from the CIA and FBI. It's true that Dante is a big-class gun town! But he is a very genius person.”

Anthony massaged his temple because all the information he had obtained about Dante was very contrary to what his father had told Anthony. Never once did Dante do anything against the law.

“He was indeed guilty of selling weapons on the black market! But he has never harmed the federal or the government with his transactions. Unless you guys are really scared of the weapon he made!”

“I admit Dante is great at assembling weapons and I'm sure he has the cutting-edge weapons you're afraid of! Especially when I learned how Dante prepared with the war arena he had in his mansion, Dante was not a random and stupid person! He didn't even intend to use his advanced weapon!” Anthony again scratched his non-itchy forehead.
