Had Josh Clarke, now gravely injured, really escaped from Chris Shelby?
In that moment, Guardian Tim felt a deep sense of apprehension towards Chris Shelby's strength.
"I order all to stand down!" he commanded.
What?
Upon hearing this, the uninitiated disciples of the Ghost Sect looked up in disbelief.
"Master, you commanded us to retrieve the Dragon Emblem fragment. If we do nothing, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete our mission..."
"Fool!"
Before his subordinate could finish, Guardian Tim interrupted angrily, "We are to lie in wait, biding our time!"
"Remember, we are the Ghost Sect. Staying hidden provides our greatest advantage!"
"As long as we can endure the solitude, Chris Shelby will inevitably expose a weakness."
"The moment Chris Shelby shows a flaw, we can strike a fatal blow with minimal cost!"
Having said that, a cold light flashed in Guardian Tim's eyes.
He was not a fool like Guardian Michael. Without the certainty of victory, he would absolutely not make a move!
He had no interest in squandering his prime years!
"Let's go!"
With a light grunt, Guardian Tim led his people back into the cover of night.
In an instant, the night fell silent.
It was as if Guardian Tim and his companions had never been there.
Their concealment was even deeper, like serpents in the black of night, ready to strike a deadly blow at Chris Shelby at any moment.
At that time, in Middleton, Jacksonville.
"Has the cargo been brought over yet?"
As the vanguard, Jake Johnson had ordered the new products of the Chester Group to be transported as soon as he arrived in Jacksonville.
Jake Johnson stared in astonishment, asking, "Who are you?"
A young man stepped out from the crowd.
He sneered, "Did you frogs at the bottom of the well think you could just waltz into Middleton?"
"Seize them all! Confiscate all the goods!"
At his command, hundreds of men in black acted, capturing Jake Johnson and his team without a word.
"You can't arrest me, I'm the general manager of Chester Group..."
Jake Johnson struggled violently, shouting.
Before Jake Johnson could finish, the young man responded with a resounding slap that left Jake Johnson bruised and swollen.
He smirked mockingly, "Chester Group? Ha! It's precisely you Chester Group people we're arresting! Take them away!"
What?
