Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 999
Sylas’ blood ran cold at the sight of those furious men.
This is all my fault.
I clearly saw that man there. But I didn’t expect him to dash out just like that! Gosh, what should I do?
“Ms. Lopez… What should we do now…” she asked in a frail voice.
Her mind went blank; she could not think of any way of getting them out of this mess.
“There’s nothing we can do. This was all premeditated. They did it to keep me away from the event,” Zoey stated with a resigned sigh.
The only thing she was concerned about now was that an innocent man had lost his life because of the strife between Pinnacle Group and her.
If she knew that all this would come at the expense of a man’s life, she would have given up on this project readily.
But she also knew that Iris would still make it to the event.
She and Iris had foreseen something bad happening, and they already had a bulletproof plan laid out.
Even if Zoey did not make it to the venue, Iris would still be there.
“You guys have nothing to worry about. I won’t run away. I’ll settle this properly,” Zoey told the crowd.
After all, this man had died because of her. She took it on herself to look into the accident.
Meanwhile, a car sped by along a road in the suburb.
Iris cried out when she was informed that something had happened to Zoey.
The woman had been on the way using another route when she got news of the incident.
The car she was seated in braked to halt when a few men in black suddenly appeared before her, blocking her way in the middle of the road.
“Ms. Anabelle, I’m sorry, but we have to cut your trip short. Don’t worry; it’ll only take two hours, that’s if you cooperate with us,” one of them said as he leaned closer to the car window.
Iris knew exactly what they were up to.
It went without saying that all they wanted was to stop her from bidding for the project.
The fact that these people had found out about her route surprised her.
Now that these men were in her way, it was impossible for her to get herself out of this.
The only thing she could do was to do as they demanded.
“I’m so sorry, Zoey.” Iris sighed.
Over at the venue, all the council members from Pinnacle Group had already gathered in a timely manner.
Jayden and Lyndsay held their heads high as they looked around. The event was about to commence.
Many big companies had convened after knowing that the project was open for bid.
Jayden approached some of the heads, putting up a smug smile. “You guys won’t stand a chance against us today. Pinnacle Group will win the project. All of you’d better back off. Try us, and you’ll end up dead!”
He was rude and overbearing—yet there was nothing those people could say.
Jayden was from Pinnacle Group; no one had the guts to challenge that company.
Since they were here at the event just for the sake of it, there was no need for them to incur the wrath of Pinnacle Group unnecessarily.
“Mr. Yolander, Ms. Granger, we’ve handled Zoey and Iris as instructed. They won’t be able to make it,” an assistant reported.
A smirk crafted Jayden and Lyndsay’s faces when they received the news.
There was no way a small company like Morris Group could threaten Pinnacle Group.
It was foolish for Morris Group to think that they stood a chance to win.
“Did you leave any traces?” Lyndsay asked.
“No. No one will be able to track it back to Pinnacle Group. Also, we’ve blocked all the roads, so no one from Morris Group will reach this place,” the assistant added with a sly smile.
Beside him, Lyndsay nodded as an evil smile broke out on her face. “Now that I think of it, it’s actually not a bad idea for Morris Group to come. They can well amuse us if they’re humiliated here today. But, oh well, they can’t even make it here now. What a pity.”
“Yeah, they’ll lose the project to us even if they came. It’s just a matter of time before Morris Group belongs to us!” Jayden agreed.
Just as the two were busy talking about taking Morris Group down, Yale Freeman, the person in charge of the project, walked over.
“Mr. Yolander, Ms. Granger, we’re about to start. Shall we take a seat?” he inquired politely.
Jayden shot the man an innocent smile and asked, “Oh, aren’t we still waiting for Morris Group?”
Yale gestured to invite them in as he cleared his throat. “Actually, Morris Group met with an accident when they were on their way. I don’t think they’ll be able to make it.”
Just as Jayden and Lyndsay were about to walk in, a deafening noise rang out from above, causing everyone to tilt their heads towards the sky.
“Quick! Look up! Look at the sky!” someone exclaimed in shock.
