Chapter 584: Chapter 584 Encounter Ambush_1
The matter of the mole had instantly snapped Itai Huntington back to full alertness.
Her own security system was exceptional, and she had not faced any dangers for years, which had inevitably made her somewhat complacent.
Three years ago, Cristiano Martin began to follow her, and now it seemed very likely that Jennifer Lopez had already set her sights on her three years prior.
Fortunately, Bode Somerset was a loyal retainer she had raised since childhood, though no one was aware of it.
Today, he indeed proved to be of use.
The motorcade slowly headed towards the airport.
The client she was meeting today was Fabian Percival, returning from abroad.
Fabian Percival started out in Gonzalez City in his early years, and after making a name for himself, he moved overseas to further his career.
The previous boss of Gonzalez City was Fabian Percival’s protégé.
Once Aron Jackson arrived here, he adopted an iron-fisted approach and forcibly drove those people out.
Those who didn’t comply were dealt with permanently.
The rest fled overseas to seek out Fabian Percival.
Now that Fabian Percival was returning, Itai Huntington was feeling tremendous pressure.
In Five-river Province, even the Leopold Family had to show Fabian Percival some respect; after all, the old master of the Leopold Family was technically his junior brother.
On paper, he was the junior brother, but in reality, the Leopold Family had been defeated in a power struggle, completely ceding their position to Fabian Percival.
But since Fabian Percival was too heavy-handed, forcing the people of Gonzalez City and Five-river Province into a corner with no way out, he was collectively driven away.
The truth was, it came at a great cost to them.
The greatest price was paid by the bosses of Gonzalez City.
Many of them fell under the oppression of Fabian Percival’s disciples once he left.
Luckily, Aron Jackson arrived and resolved this situation.
“Where are you?”
Itai Huntington pulled out her phone, calling Julius Reed with a tinge of worry. Thankfully, the call connected this time.
It seemed Jennifer Lopez’s plan had failed once again.
“I’m on the road, where are you headed?”
Julius Reed’s voice came through.
“I’m going to the airport to pick someone up.”
Itai Huntington spoke in a somewhat somber tone, “This time our target is pretty tricky, the former boss of Gonzalez City is coming back. With his return, Aron Jackson will be the primary target!”
“Did you find out who the mole is?”
Julius Reed seemed not to care about the boss’s business.
“I found out.”
Itai Huntington admitted with a hint of embarrassment, “Thankfully, I have you.”
“No worries, what’s the traitor’s name?”
Julius Reed appeared to be quite interested in the matter.
“Cristiano Martin, I’ve already killed him.”
While Itai Huntington was curious about why Julius Reed suddenly took an interest in her affairs, she still answered truthfully.
She had to confess that she now had a great deal of trust in this man.
They had even betrayed each other in the past.
“Alright, I’ve got it.”
After saying this, Julius Reed immediately hung up the phone.
“He hung up on me!”
Itai Huntington put her phone into her pocket, somewhat displeased.
In Gonzalez City, Julius Reed was the only one who dared to hang up on her like that.
“How much longer?”
She glanced at her watch; there was less than half an hour left before the plane would arrive at the airport.
“It’ll take another thirty to forty minutes, there’s a traffic jam now, it’s the evening rush hour.”
The driver said, “Once we get off the expressway, it won’t be jammed anymore, as there is a provincial road hardly used by anyone.”
“Make it fast.”
After saying this, Itai Huntington closed her eyes, planning to rest for a while.
She hadn’t slept well all night since hearing the news of Fabian Percival’s return the previous evening.
After Fabian Percival left, Itai Huntington had swallowed up most of his industries, which was how she achieved her current success.
But now, this former boss who had made his fortune in Gonzalez City, wanted to return to the place where he had fought hard.
Itai Huntington would definitely have to give back part of her industries.
But no one knew what Fabian Percival’s bottom line was.
This greedy figure from the underworld had been insatiable years ago, and now that he had returned.
Could things really stay peaceful?
Before she could even get back to Gonzalez City, the call had come to negotiate ahead of time.
They even demanded that Itai Huntington pick them up from the airport personally!
This was clearly meant to intimidate her.
Yet Itai Huntington had no choice but to comply.
As she rested, the car began to accelerate bit by bit.
It was apparent that they had left the urban area and were now on the provincial road.
At this rate, they should just be able to reach Fabian Percival.
If she were any later, she could imagine how that old man would treat her.
Screech!
At that moment, the car suddenly hit a rock!
“Ah…”
Itai Huntington let out a scream as she was thrown into an intimate encounter with the back of the front seat.
“What happened!”
Kong, in the passenger seat, was also badly injured, but before he could push the door open, the window of the passenger seat was smashed to pieces!
Immediately after, the dark muzzle of a hidden weapon case protruded in.
The three sedans that came to a sudden stop were all battered and broken to pieces.
The people inside were injured to varying degrees.
“Miss Huntington, would you please step out for a talk?”
The rear car door was pulled open from outside, and a man’s voice slowly filtered in.
“Don’t touch our Miss!”
Kong quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and pushed the car door open with force!
Whoosh!
The person holding the hidden weapon case was sent flying by the enormous force.
But before he could step out, two darts, incredibly accurate, struck right into her legs.
“Hmm…”
Kong grunted and knelt on the ground, glaring furiously at the black-clad figures before him.
There were at least a dozen of them, all armed with hidden weapon cases, aiming at the three cars.
The bodyguards from the two cars behind had been driven out, all lying face down on the ground with their hands over their heads.
“Big guy, you’re quite loyal, huh!”
A young man in a white suit slowly approached, stepping on Kong’s face: “Come on, hit me!”
After speaking, he also ran his hand over Itai Huntington’s face.
“I’m going to kill you!”
Kong roared.
Whoosh!
The man threw a dart at his shoulder, causing Kong to shudder and then pass out completely.
“Who are you.”
Itai Huntington’s hand quietly slipped into her handbag.
There lay a hidden weapon case.
She would rather be broken jade than intact tile.
“You might as well save the effort!”
The man bent down, yanked Itai Huntington out, and snatched her handbag at the same time.
“Still thinking of using the hidden weapon case? Miss Huntington, you’ve really got some nerve.”
The man in the white suit smiled as he pinched Itai Huntington’s cheek: “All of Gonzalez City has been buzzing about how much of a catch you, the widow, are. Today, I’ve got to see for myself if you’re as extraordinary as the rumors say!”
He gestured with his hand: “Hold her down!”
“Yes!”
Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward and pinned Itai Huntington against the hood of the car.
“You beast, I will not let you off even as a ghost!”
Itai Huntington shouted in humiliation, wondering how she still could get ambushed even after changing her route?
In that moment, she thought of Julius Reed…
If she were Quella Radcliffe, she’d definitely be rescued, right?
Unfortunately, she was Itai Huntington, a widow…
“It really is hard to restrain oneself!”
The suit-clad man tossed aside the hidden weapon case, licked his lips as he eyed Itai Huntington’s graceful body, and then started to undo his belt.
“Today, I’ll do what no man in Gonzalez City dares to do!”
He let out a loud laugh and took a step forward.
