Chapter 586: Chapter 586 Talking Sense_1
“Protect the lady…”
Jin Gang uttered these words in near despair.
His side of the car was directly smashed flat by a tree, one leg trapped in the wreckage, unable to be freed.
And those five bodyguards behind him either had injuries or were severely wounded by the impact just now.
They didn’t even have steel pipes for defense.
All they could rely on were their bare hands.
No sooner had they escaped the tiger’s jaws than they entered the wolf’s den.
Itai Huntington watched the Shadow Warriors drawing closer and closer, his heart sinking further into despair.
“Heaven, why did you give me hope, only to drive me to despair? Years ago, you cast me out of my family, forcing me to toil in Gonzalez City, and now, just as I saw hope of returning to my kin, you ruthlessly shatter it! Why!”
Whiz!
What answered him was the sound of a hidden weapon box.
An all too familiar sound of the hidden weapon box.
On the provincial road, it was this sound of the weapon box that saved them.
The leading Shadow Warrior fell at the sound, the others halting in their steps.
“Who’s there?”
On the highway, a muscle-bound man looked in the direction of the weapon box’s sound, forcefully gesturing downwards with his hand!
Crack!
The HID headlights of a dozen or so cars all lit up, illuminating the highway as if it were daylight.
One could see a man about three hundred meters away, carrying a hidden weapon box, slowly walking this way.
“Damn it! Someone’s got a death wish interrupting my good time; kill him for me!”
The burly man pulled out a cigarette from his chest, lit it with fury, and took a deep drag.
His subordinates, wielding long knives and those who had charged halfway down the road, all turned around and dashed toward the man on the highway.
Whiz!
The sound of the hidden weapon box rang out incessantly, each chime signaling another swordsman falling.
Yet those men kept advancing like they weren’t afraid of death at all.
One hundred meters.
Fifty meters.
Thirty meters.
Ten meters.
Five meters.
After ten Shadow Warriors had fallen, the remaining ones had already rushed into Julius Reed’s face.
Whiz!
Unperturbed by the long knives before him, Julius Reed firmly gripped the pole of the hidden weapon box and swung it vigorously forward!
He sent several men who were coming head-on flying!
Crack!
Then he stamped forcefully with his foot, snapping the ankle of a Shadow Warrior who had run up to him.
From a distance, one could see Julius Reed knocking people down around him seemingly without any resistance.
In just half a minute.
Only he remained standing.
Afterwards, he slowly walked towards the position of the leading man.
“Not bad, you’re pretty strong.”
The man was still leaning against the car, leisurely smoking his cigarette.
He seemed completely unconcerned by the one-sided crushing scene unfolding before him.
Julius Reed’s paced quickened, and in nearly half a minute, he had closed the distance to less than ten meters from the man.
Then he stopped.
“Julius Reed?”
Upon recognizing the face, Itai Huntington shouted excitedly.
“So it’s you!”
Her heart wasn’t just happy; even a warm current flickered through.
What filled her more was a sense of security.
It was him.
When she needed help the most, this man arrived.
“Besides me, who else would be so kind-hearted to save you.”
Julius Reed glanced at Itai Huntington, then pointed the hidden weapon box sharply at her!
Whiz!
The sound of the weapon box rang out.
Itai Huntington was startled, leaning back against the car, her heartbeat suddenly quickening.
She thought, for a moment, that this man was going to kill her.
Thud!
Behind her, a bodyguard fell to the ground.
“Miss, Octavious Leopold has a knife!”
The bodyguard closest to Octavious Leopold crouched down and immediately noticed something was off.
“There are two traitors by your side. One is Jennifer Lopez’s person, and the other is Fabian Percival’s. The one trying to kill you now is Fabian Percival’s person.”
Julius Reed said indifferently.
“Fabian Percival’s person…”
All Itai Huntington felt was her mind going blank.
No wonder, every time she changed her plans, someone predicted them in advance.
“How did you know?”
She looked at Julius Reed, her voice trembling as she asked.
Unbeknownst to her, two spies had been planted by her side.
“Because when I received your call, I felt something wasn’t right. So I made a trip to your company and found this in Octavious Leopold’s room.”
Julius Reed took out a SIM card from his pocket: “A black card, destroyed. It’s a one-time use and then scrapped, most likely a spy tool.”
“Thank you…”
Itai Huntington looked at Julius Reed with a bitter face, somewhat embarrassed.
She was a strong woman after all, always managed her employees, and yet such a critical mistake had occurred.
And Julius Reed not only helped her catch the traitors but also saved her twice.
Even if Itai Huntington was reluctant to admit the gap between them, she had to face this cruel reality.
She was no match for Julius Reed.
But at least, she had saved her own life.
“Kid, you’re pretty smart!”
The lead man clapped his hands, showing his admiration with a raised thumb: “Not only are you smart, but your hidden weaponry skills are accurate, and your close combat is top-notch! In my over thirty years, I’ve seen plenty, but you, you really impress me.”
“Thank you. Hearing you praise me is like a breath of spring air.”
Julius Reed tossed the hidden weapon box aside and bowed with his hands clasped: “Since the elder is impressed, could you perhaps let my dear one go?”
He nodded towards Itai Huntington, who was leaning against the car.
“Your dear one?”
The man raised an eyebrow, then burst into laughter: “Brother, you’re quite the lucky man! With such a dear one, and still so sturdy, impressive indeed!”
After finishing, he raised his thumb: “Youth is wonderful!”
Their conversation made Itai Huntington’s face burn with embarrassment.
In the end, she simply blocked her ears, refusing to listen to their vulgar talk.
“Elder, since we have met, we are also fated. Why not show some leniency and let me go?”
Julius Reed asked tentatively.
“That’s… hiss, not really a good idea!”
The man showed a troubled expression, while spitting the cigarette butt on the ground and crushing it with force.
“You know, I’m in this on behalf of someone else. If I don’t kill her, I can’t explain myself!”
After saying that, he spread his hands, looking quite helpless.
“Cut me some slack, just say that this lady got away.”
Julius Reed spoke with a grinning face: “With you backing me, Fabian Percival would treat you like an ancestor! He wouldn’t dare not believe you.”
“But why should I do that for you?”
The man looked at Julius Reed: “I don’t get any benefit from it! If I kill you two and the lady, I could even get some extra money.”
“Money is easy to talk about. How much do you want, she’ll give it to you.”
Julius Reed pointed at Itai Huntington: “This woman has plenty of cash, and she’s in such a passive position today. How could she not give you whatever you ask for?”
“I’ll give!”
Itai Huntington quickly agreed out loud upon hearing this.
It seems.
Julius Reed really met his match, or else he wouldn’t be haggling like this.
Or perhaps, he was not certain of victory.
“Actually, I’m not short of money.”
The man scratched his head, troubled: “Letting you go, it’s really difficult for me.”
“Then there’s nothing to discuss!”
Julius Reed’s expression darkened: “When I left the house today, my wife told me, from now on I should reason more and use my fists less.”
“What are you implying?”
The man was startled by this sudden change in attitude.
“I’m going to fight you.”
Julius Reed looked at Itai Huntington: “Remember to testify to my wife later, it’s not that I didn’t want to reason, but that when I tried to reason with him, he wouldn’t listen.”
“Ah!”
Itai Huntington blinked, nodding dumbly.
