Jacksonville! The first gateway to Middleton!!! The northern gate of Middleton! If Chester Group wanted to expand northward, the first market they would need to conquer would be Jacksonville! Only if they could establish a foothold in Jacksonville, could Chester Group have a base for a continuous offensive against Middleton. Jacksonville was crucial!
At this point, Candace Nance took a deep breath, “Jacksonville is your Watson family’s territory! Now, I’m giving you a task. You will personally oversee Jacksonville and do everything possible to stop Chester Group’s northward expansion!”
Although from Candace Nance’s expression, one could see she wasn’t overly worried, deep down, she was extremely wary of Chester Group! The failure of this southern strategy had given her a clear understanding of Chester Group’s strength. Even though the current Chester Group was still a newborn, given time, it would surely become Nance Group’s most formidable competitor. What’s more, behind Chester Group was the seemingly omnipotent Chris Shelby! She must strangle Chester Group before it could grow stronger!
“Yes!” “Don’t worry, Miss, I will personally oversee Jacksonville and will not let Chester Group take a single step into Middleton!” Ben Watson vowed. He had a deep hatred for Chris Shelby. Aaron Watson had died at the hands of Chris Shelby. This vengeance must not go unavenged! If Chris Shelby had always been hiding in the East Coast, Ben Watson might not have been able to do anything. But this time, Chris Shelby dared to go north, and Jacksonville was their Watson family’s territory. If Chris Shelby dared to come, he would ensure Chris Shelby would not return!
Meanwhile, on the East Coast. Late at night. A few figures appeared not far from Cloud Bay. “Guardian Tim, ahead is Chris Shelby’s residence!” A disciple of the Ghost Sect said, kneeling on one knee with reverence.
Guardian Tim looked up at Cloud Bay. With his keen eyes, he could see that Cloud Bay’s defenses were tight. Hundreds of guards were patrolling the entire villa 24 hours a day. Not to mention, at the foot of the mountain of Cloud Bay, there was a battalion of soldiers stationed. If they couldn’t deal with these guards in a short time, they would surely attract the siege of the soldiers at the foot of the mountain. Then, they would be caught in a pincer attack, with no escape!
“Damn it!” Guardian Tim cursed quietly. He had been in the underworld for many years and had never seen such tight security! Even if a grandmaster realm practitioner came, they would likely not return! After cursing, Guardian Tim squinted his eyes and asked, “How is the investigation you were tasked with going?”
After a long journey through wind and rain, Guardian Tim and the others had finally arrived at the East Coast from the Ghost Sect headquarters! Their mission this time was simple. Follow the orders of the Lord of the Ghost Sect. Kill Chris Shelby! Seize the Dragon Emblem fragment!
The disciple’s face showed a hint of fear, “Guardian Tim, a while ago, Josh Clarke led the entire Middleton Alliance in an all-out attack on the East Coast.” “The result was that they were stopped by Chris Shelby outside the city of East Coast… The entire Middleton Alliance, except for Josh Clarke who escaped severely injured, was wiped out!”
Boom! Upon hearing this, Guardian Tim’s pupils contracted dramatically, and a sense of unease filled his heart. Who was Josh Clarke? The proud leader of the Middleton Alliance! A long-time enemy of the Ghost Sect! His strength, Guardian Tim was very clear about. Even he could not stand more than three or four moves against Josh Clarke!
