Chapter 1299
Joey was in a bit of a pickle: "Flora, this isn't like the places you're used to. Cars are pretty scarce around here, tough to get your hands on. You won't find one easily." Even the Roth family didn't have many cars. Mainly because, as warriors of The Martialist, they rarely needed them.
"You don't need to worry about that. Uncle, you carry on with your work; I'm heading inside."
"Off you go then." Joey didn't dwell on Flora's words. "Make sure you get some rest."
After giving Flora a little reminder, he turned to the butler on the tractor: "Make sure you check everything carefully-look, there's rust on the right side!"
Flora couldn't help but smirk. The tractor was practically falling apart, and he was worried about rust???
She pulled out her phone and shot a text to Jonathan.
[Send a car over to the Gilbert family.]
With the text sent, Flora put her phone away and went back to her room for a nice, hot shower.
...
When Jonathan got the text, his eyebrows knitted together. Send a car? What kind of car? What brand? One or more?
He sent another message to Flora, but she didn't reply. He didn't want to bug her again, worried she might think he was incapable of handling such a simple task. Then, an idea hit him!
"Hey, someone!"
He shouted, and soon enough, one of his guys hurried in.
"Jonathan, what's up?" The guy looked serious. If Jonathan was calling, it had to be important.
"Get every car out of the garage, one from each brand, and we're heading to the Gilbert family."
"Wait, what?" The guy was taken aback.
"What part of that didn't you get?" Jonathan asked, clearly annoyed.
"Uh..."
He understood each word, but strung together, it was a bit much to comprehend.
"Boss, why are we taking so many cars to the Gilbert family?"
"Enough questions. Just do what I said."
Seeing Jonathan's face darken-it was already pretty dark to begin
with, but still intimidating net
guy
didn't dare to question further and rushed off to get it done. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
So, twenty minutes later...
A convoy of cars rolled out of the garage, into the Enforcement Division, and then, like a storm, headed towards the Gilbert family.
The sight of dozens of cars zooming down the main road was so impressive, it left the folks in the Martial World stunned.
"What's the Enforcement Division up to with such a big show? What are they planning?"
"Whoa... Are they planning to wipe someone out?"
It wasn't that they were paranoid, but the spectacle certainly looked like it.
Could some family have ticked off the Enforcement Division?
"Judging by the direction... Isn't that towards the Gilbert family?!" someone exclaimed.
Sure enough, it was the Gilbert family!
Friends of Joey, who were close to the family, quickly pulled out their phones and called him.
"Joey! This is serious! The
Enforcement Division is headed your way, and it looks like they're up to no good! You better pack up and leave ASAP!"
When Joey got the call, he was busy instructing the butler on fixing the tractor His friend's urgent and panicky tone was confusing, to say the least.
They hadn't done anything to upset the Enforcement Division, so why were they coming?
Just as Joey was about to voice his confusion, the roar of car engines grew louder from afar, getting closer and closer!
Instinctively, Joey glanced in that direction, and what he saw nearly scared the daylights out of him.
