would be the thieves themselves
Laurens face remained neutral, but her eyes blazed as she stared at Jerry.
Under her seemingly calm but piercing gaze, Jerry let out a cold laugh and sneered, After all this talk, you’re basically accusing me of working with the thieves, arent you?
Kingsley shrugged casually.
Those are your words, not mine.
This finally pushed Jerry over the edge as he angrily shouted, You fool! Stop trying to sow discord! Ive served the Rhodes family faithfully for over 20 years.
Do you think your petty.
words can discredit my loyalty? In his fury, Jerry turned to Lauren and said respectfully, Ms Rhodes, this pretty boy is insulting me.
I demand justice.
Jerry, he just tends to be very direct with his words, Lauren stated diplomatically.
I know your loyalty to the Rhodes family, so on his behalf, I apologize
Jerry let out a cold snort and stormed off with his men, but not before shooting Kingsley a murderous glare
: Kingsley, however, maintained his smile, completely unfazed.
Once Jerry was gone, Laurens expression turned ice cold.
Do you think Jerry was telling the truth? I’d rather believe pigs could fly than trust him, Kingsley replied without hesitation.
Lauren burst into laughter, You can be quite funny sometimes
Kingsley smiled and continued, At this point, we can almost be certain that Jerry is working with the thieves.
At the very least, hes not completely loyal to the Rhodes family or you, Ms. Rhodes
First Tracia, and now Jerry, Lauren said coldly.
I don’t understand why theyre doing this.
The Rhodes family has treated them well all these years.
Modern martial artists often prioritize profit over loyalty, Kingsley explained calmly.
Both Jerry and Tracia are clearly ambitious.
If Michael has been courting their loyalty behind the scenes, it wouldnt be surprising if theyve switched sides.
Lauren gave a self deprecating smile
No matter how strong I am or what my title is, I’m still just a woman.
The Rhodes family is like any other traditional family it will eventually be handed over to a man.
Thats why many in the family favor Michael, despite his mediocre abilities and arrogance.
Even people like Jerry, who act respectful to my face, probably don’t take me seriously. don’t be discouraged, Ms. Rhodes, Kingsley said earnestly
Just say the word if you need anything
Michael and his fellows may be cunning, but Ive never considered them a real threat.
Laurens face lit up with a radiant smile, So, are you offering to be my knight in shining armor ? Kingsley froze, caught off guard by her dazzling smile and alluring red lips.
He was fully aware she was trying to charm him, so he mentally scolded her for being a tease
Meanwhile, deep in the forest, Kingsleys Porsche Panamera was almost completely burned, with only the chassis remaining
Beside it lay Tracias stiff corpse
Two figures emerged from the shadows Michael and the sinister looking Bane.
Tracias dead? Who could have done this in this place full of nothing but farmers? Michael exclaimed in disbelief.
up with a Bane silently crouched down and examined Tracias body.
After a moment, he stood grim expression and said, She mustve encountered a skilled martial artist. What kind of master could kill a Rhodes family security chief? Michael demanded angrily.
Bane remained silent for a moment, his face unusually grave.
At the very least, someone on the level of a junior grandmaster or maybe even a full grandmaster.
He continued, The ability to kill Tracia with a single punch is leagues beyond those amateurs who had just learned the basics.
Come on, Bane, you can’t be serious, Michael said in horror
How could there be a grandmaster hiding in this place? To Michael, a grandmaster was practically a living legend someone even the Rhodes family would show respect.
In his mind, those figures were untouchable, being able to kill others without breaking a sweat.
Bane snapped, I never joke about such a matter.
She died at the hands of at least a junior grandmaster.
Bane, you don’t think Lauren hired them, do you? Michael asked nervously.
Bane shot him a contemptuous look, don’t be stupid.
If she had access to such a master, would she have let Tracia drag, her into these woods, waiting for us
? This must have been a backup that arrived later.
.
Check if any Rhodes family elites were in the area.
Definitely not, Michael quickly replied.
If there was anyone in our family to deploy someone of that caliber, it could only be Mr. Rhodes Senior.
Only he has that level of authority.
Bane was puzzled.
Thats strange.
Could Lauren have some powerful ally we don’t know about? Kingsley! It has to be that pretty boy Kingsley
That damn bastard! Michael burst out through gritted teeth.
Bane stared at him in disbelief before scoffing
Thats nonsense! don’t underestimate him, Bane, Michael insisted, clearly haunted by past encounters. Hes repeatedly foiled my plans and saved Lauren.
Who else could have ruined our careful plartning? Bane mocked, Mr. Rhodes, that guy has really gotten into your head.
Even Tracia alone wouldve been too much for him.
don’t tell me you think hes a junior grandmaster.
If that were true, you should pack your bags, leave Rhodes Corporation, and beg Lauren for mercy. Bane genuinely thought Michael was paranoid.
A young man like Kingsley could not possibly be anywhere near the level of a junior grandmaster.
Bane, how would you fare against a junior grandmaster ? Michael asked.
Bane lifted his chin proudly.
Im skilled in both medicine and martial arts, and I wouldnt back down from a fight with a junior grandmaster
However, it depends on the situation.
Unless absolutely necessard rather not face one.
If you encounter such a martial artist, theres only one thing to do.
Whats that? Michael asked instinctively.
Bane replied with deadly seriousness, Run for your life!
Michael nodded nervously.
Thank goodness we werent there when Tracia died.
Running into that grandmaster wouldve been bad news
Still, its unfortunate Lauren escaped, but at least we have the herbs
When she returns to Rhodes Corporation empty handed, shell have to answer for this failure ! At this thought, a hint of a smile returned to Michaels gloomy face.
However, Bane suddenly.
tensed and shouted, Whos there? Show yourself, or youll regret it! Michael spun around in terror, stuttering, B Bane, you don’t think its that grandmaster coming for us? A broad shouldered man emerged from the shadows, and Michael immediately relaxed.
Oh, its just you, Jerry.
You scared me half to death! Jerry scoffed.
Mr. Rhodes, if you want to take over Rhodes Corporation, you need to show more backbone.
Being spooked by every little noise makes you look like a coward.
Michael laughed.
Relax, Jerry, its just us three here
Even if I’m scared out of my wits, no one else will know.
As long as others don’t see my true nature, theyll never know what I’m really like ! Jerry shook his head, thinking how inferior Michael was compared to Lauren.
