Chapter 774
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."novelbin
"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.
He planned to use the popularity of the new products and a strong advertising campaign to capture the
Jacksonville market!
His assistant replied, "Sir, the cargo has arrived!"
"Good, put it in the warehouse immediately! Arrange it according to demand and, the moment the
market opens, ensure it's delivered to the customers as quickly as possible!"
Although he had successfully arrived in Jacksonville, Jake Johnson couldn't afford to be complacent.
After all, Chester Group's entrance into Middleton might infringe upon Nance Group's interests, and
Nance Group was the commercial overlord of the North.
Would they just stand by and watch Chester Group enter Middleton?
It was impossible even to think about it!
To seize the initiative and gain some time, Jake Johnson chose to transport the goods to Jacksonville
under the cover of night, doing his best to prevent the Nance Group from discovering them.
As long as the goods were unloaded, everything would be safe!
"Halt, all of you!"
Just then, an unexpected event occurred.
A large group of men in black rushed from all directions, surrounding Jake Johnson and his team.
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?
