Chapter 1057: Chapter 1057: Ambush
Five minutes later.
Elders Victor pushed open the door, surveyed the area, and then addressed the guard at the door, "Just now, what did the princess ask you?"
"The princess instructed me to ensure Elders Victor’s safety and to not be negligent in the slightest," the guard said solemnly.
"Is that so? Is it really the case?"
Elders Victor asked with a light chuckle, "You can answer truthfully."
"To reply to Elders Victor, it’s the absolute truth! Your subordinate, hasn’t hidden a thing!"
The guard, staring straight ahead, answered expressionlessly.
"Very good."
Elders Victor smiled and nodded, then removed a necklace from his pale neck.
On the necklace, there was a seashell and a Copper Coin.
"Do you recognize it?"
"This..."
The guard had just taken one glance and was about to open his mouth.
Suddenly, he became stupefied.
His eyes, empty and lifeless.
"Now, please answer my question carefully."
Elders Victor put away his enchanting smile and his expression turned exceptionally cold.
"Speak! Just now, what did the princess ask you?"
She stared intently at the guard, swinging the necklace in her hand back and forth.
The guard’s eyeballs followed the movement of the necklace, turning incessantly.
"The princess instructed me to monitor your every move, even to investigate the type of sanitary products down to the details..."
"What!"
Clatter!
Elders Victor’s hand trembled, and the necklace fell to the ground.
The moment the necklace hit the floor, the guard staggered, then rubbed his eyes, bewildered.
"Weird, daydreaming in broad daylight..."
When he saw Elders Victor bending down to pick something up, he quickly straightened up!
Inside, he was full of confusion.
He had clearly been speaking with Elders Victor, so how did he suddenly fall asleep?
Watching the retreating figure, he took a deep breath and continued to stand guard.
...
Nightfall gradually descended.
Julius Reed took a car to make a special trip to the Water Pearl Hotel to compare accounts with Miguel Abbott.
Without the time to manage a business behemoth like the Willson Group,
he left Miguel Abbott and Stanislaus Potter in full charge for the time being.
Eventually, he would have to hand it over to Quella Radcliffe.
But his real reason for coming to the Water Pearl in person was to mislead those watching him.
Most people didn’t know what sort of relationship Julius Reed had with Mad Dragon.
He simply played both roles himself.
His high-profile announcement at the Kensington Family today, that Seven Clouds College was returning, was also to throw people off.
As expected.
As he traveled by car from Five-river Province to Gonzalez City,
someone quietly disappeared from the hotel entrance.
"Where are you?"
Julius Reed pulled out his phone, held it to his ear, and asked softly.
"Wolf Cavalry’s most elite vanguard battalion, consisting of a total of one hundred and thirty people, is all assembled in Gonzalez City!" a firm voice came through the phone.
"Ride for one day, rest on-site. Wait for my orders for other arrangements," Julius Reed said, then hung up the phone.
That morning, upon learning that Town North King had stationed the Northern King’s Cavalry in Five-river Province, Julius Reed command Cold Nelson to lead a battalion of the Wolf Cavalry out.
Upon receiving the orders, Cold Nelson, leading one hundred and thirty Wolf Cavalry, raced a thousand kilometers.
At last, they arrived in Gonzalez City before it got dark.
Better safe than sorry.
If the Northern King’s dogs became desperate, this cavalry force of over a thousand was no small number.
Although the Wolf Cavalry numbered only one hundred thirty, they were more than enough.
These were soldiers personally trained by Julius Reed.
Warriors who had been in countless battles!
All elites!
"Big brother, should we take the highway or the provincial road?"
Aron Jackson was driving and asked in a deep voice.
He knew there would be many dangers along the way.
"Take the provincial road, give them time to set up," Julius Reed glanced at his Rolex and said indifferently, "Drive slower, no need to rush."
"Understood!"
Aron Jackson wound down the window and casually lit a cigarette.
The car gradually left the city area.
The light grew weaker and weaker.
Finally, they drove onto the pitch-black provincial road.
The darkness was like a man-eating tiger that silently stalked them.
One hour later.
Halfway through the journey,
just then,
a SUV crazily rushed towards Julius Reed’s car from less than a hundred meters away!
"Move aside! Dodge it!"
Julius Reed turned his head and saw the dazzling headlights through the rear window!
Very bright!
Blinding so that one could hardly keep their eyes open.
"Got it!"
Aron Jackson’s face turned pale, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.
His eyes, too, never stopped watching the rearview mirror.
The howling SUV was getting closer to them.
When the two vehicles were less than five meters apart, Aron Jackson violently turned the steering wheel to the right!
Screech!
Accompanied by the sound of brakes, their sedan stopped on the side of the road.
Kicking up a cloud of dust.
The front of the car hit a tree and was already emitting black smoke.
Ten seconds later,
the SUV that had just driven past slowly backed up.
"How’s the blockade on the roads ahead and behind?"
Inside the SUV.
Elder Victor, wearing a tight black leather coat, asked the man in the passenger seat.
"As you instructed, Elder, my North Sea subordinates have excavated the roads on both sides throughout the night, ensuring that within thirty kilometers, not a single car can get through!"
"Very good!"
Elder Victor nodded and turned to push open the car door.
When she saw that the sedan Julius Reed was in had been scrapped, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
There was no village ahead, and no shop behind.
The road was damaged, and it would take Julius Reed a great deal of time to get back to Gonzalez City.
And during this time, it would be enough for Windy Johnson and the princess to lead away the people around Quella Radcliffe.
To clear space for Ghost Valley.
"Are you from the North Sea?"
Julius Reed pushed open the car door, standing less than thirty meters away from Elder Victor.
"Correct! How did you know?"
Elder Victor was not afraid but instead took out a pair of black gloves from her pocket and slowly put them on.
These gloves were strikingly similar to Devlin’s!
"Years ago, I could leave just one in ten of you North Sea people alive, and now I can still leave you with not a single piece of armor!"
Julius Reed hadn’t expected that the North Sea would choose to strike at him on the road.
Moreover, it seemed to be a woman.
Stand alone.
Blocking the road.
However, this was entirely different from the North Sea’s usual style!
Previously in Gonzalez City, the North Sea people acted meticulously.
Dozens of people lay in ambush, and they could even deceive Thunderpeak Hall.
Now, they were just throwing an egg against a rock?
"I just want to see for myself just how capable the leader of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance really is," Elder Victor said as she suddenly started to speed up.
She charged towards Julius Reed at breakneck speed!
In her hands, two blades suddenly appeared!
"Interesting."
Julius Reed watched the approaching adversary, his eyes narrowing.
In just two seconds, the distance of thirty meters was closed, and Elder Victor’s cold blades slashed down!
Whoosh!
The chill of the blades filled the air!
Julius Reed dodged sideways, and the twin blades brushed past his neck.
Bang!
The next moment, he threw a punch!
Elder Victor’s twin blades came together, blocking in front of her.
But.
She was still pushed back several steps by the immense force!
She rolled to the side of the SUV, pulled the door open, and leaped inside!
"Go!"
No sooner had she spoken than blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Understood!"
The driver immediately pressed the gas pedal.
"Trying to escape?"
Julius Reed squinted his eyes, ready to give chase.
But he suddenly turned his head.
"Aron Jackson! Run!"
He pulled the car door open with one hand and leapt down the dirt slope off the highway with Aron Jackson in his arms.
Boom!
A rocket landed precisely where it had been.
The sedan they had been in was flung several meters into the air!
With a burst of flames, it crashed heavily onto the road surface.
"Damn it!"
Julius Reed clenched his fists tightly, somewhat furious.
What exactly was the opponent’s intention?
He couldn’t figure it out.
Meanwhile,
On the outskirts of Gonzalez City, on Green Five Road.
Nearly a thousand Cavalry, radiating an aura of solemnity, stood their ground.
The Valley Master of Ghost Valley rode a tall horse, holding a crescent moon scimitar in his hand.
Looking straight ahead.
PS: This Chapter makes up for the fourth update on the 25th.
There are four more updates during the day.
I will try to adjust the update times to daytime so everyone can get to bed early.
Good night.
My body can’t handle staying up late anymore, but I’ll make up for it during the day, and the quantity won’t be less.
