Chapter 175 Make sure our security stays close to the convoy at all times , Lauren instructed Eunice .

We cant afford any problems .

Eunice protested , But Miss , are we really going to leave behind a third of our herbs ? If we go back with this amount , well have to shut down several pharmaceutical plants .

The losses will be substantial .

Ill cover the losses personally , Lauren replied with a cold smile .

If Michael wants to play games , Ill play along until the end .

Eunice was worried but stayed silent , turning to relay the orders to the convoy .noveldrama

After that , Lauren stepped out of the car and approached Tracia Martin , a scar faced woman standing nearby ..

Tracia , the convoy is heading out .

Please have your team keep watch over them during the journey .

Despite her unremarkable appearance and small frame , Tracias eyes held a sharp gleam that revealed her expertise as a martial arts master .

I apologize , Miss , but my team and I have only one mission to protect you .

Anything else is beyond my scope .

Lauren frowned .

Tracia , youre the Rhodes familys head of security .

I brought you along specifically to protect my convoy .

Dont worry about me .

Miss , as I said , everything beyond your personal protection is outside my job scope , Tracia stated firmly .

Your safety is worth infinitely more than these herbs .

So youd just stand by if someone hijacks over three million dollars worth of herbs ? Lauren snapped .

Yes , Tracia replied calmly .

As long as your life isnt in danger , its not my concern .

Lauren gritted her teeth but said nothing more .

Tracia was a grandmaster level fighter specifically recruited from an elite martial arts academy to serve the Rhodes family .

While incredibly powerful , she was also antisocial and cold .

She only took orders from Lauren and often ignored even the Rhodes family patriarch .

At least Lauren had 20 other Rhodes family security personnel with her , which gave her some peace of mind .

The convoy of over a dozen trucks began their journey back to Jayrodale , with Laurens personal vehicle bringing up the rear .

As they passed through a remote mountain base a beat up bus suddenly swerved out from a side road and blocked their path .

Over 50 masked thugs rushed out , brandishing machetes with deadly intent .

Chaos erupted as the front vehicles panicked , with several drivers being forced onto a different side of the road by the armed men .

The Rhodes family security team and corporate guards immediately engaged with the masked Chapter 175 attackers , and the sound of fighting filled the air .

The attackers had clearly come prepared , and several of them showed exceptional fighting skills as they quickly took down the Rhodes family guards and advanced toward Lauren with murderous intent .

These bastards have some nerve trying to hijack Rhodes Corporations supplies ! Lauren shouted in fury as she watched the trucks being diverted from their return route .

C Tracia quickly locked Laurens car doors and barked , Stay inside ! There are skilled fighters among them getting out would be suicide ! Without waiting for Laurens response , she slammed on the gas and drove into the dense forest beside the road .
