Chapter 5822
“Change course to a side lane? Do you want everyone to die?”
Julie stared at Harvey, her expression icy.
“Do you even have common sense? The enemy’s clearly doing this to try and get us to change directions! Going to a side land would mean giving ourselves up!
“And yet, you still want Mr. Lennon to change course? What are you thinking?!”
Rhodes glared at Harvey as if he was looking at an idiot.
Mandy looked confused; she knew Harvey wasn’t stupid, but she didn’t understand why he’d suggest such a thing.
Harvey calmly looked outside the window.
“Even a conceited person like you would think of such a thing. What makes you think the others couldn’t come up with the same conclusion?
“The enemy believes that we won’t change course. That’s why we need to do the exact opposite. That way, we’ll know if the enemy’s planning to ambush us in the side lane or not.
“Even if there are, there won’t be too many. With the amount of people we have right now, it’d be more than enough for us to fight back.
“The enemy will be mostly waiting around the main road.”
Harvey narrowed his eyes while looking into the distance, as if he could see through the whole picture.
“If we still have to deal with the trees on the road, the enemy will wait for us to put our guard down before immediately jumping at us. Out of the two choices we have, the former is a lot better.”
“Tch!”
Julie showed a disdainful expression.
“You think you can convince Mr. Lennon to do as you say just because you’re good with your words? Why would he even do something like that? He’s no idiot, you know? He…”
Before Julie finished her words, Lennon quickly waved his hand and gave out an order.
“Send word! We’re going to the side lane!”
“Huh?!”
Julie’s eyes twitched, as if she was slapped in the face. Rhodes’ face darkened instantly.
‘The Surrey family used my name, and now they’re listening to Harvey? How dare they disrespect me like that?!’
But since Lennon had already given the order, the convoy wouldn’t change their decision because of Rhodes’ will.
Rhodes seemed a little angry because of this.
“Mr. Lennon, you…”
Vroom!
Five SUVs appeared from both sides of the main road. Men in camouflaged uniforms hopped out, planning to move the trees away.
Clearly, these people wanted Harvey and the others to tire themselves out, but their ploy was quickly discovered. They had no choice but to take action immediately.
That said, they were still a little too late; the Surrey family’s convoy had already driven to the side lane at lightning speed. Lennon burst out laughing before raising his thumb at Harvey.
While on the road, the convoy slowed down; many people and drones were sent out to survey the surroundings as well. The road was safe and sound; even if there was danger, there would only be a few stragglers at most.
Rhodes’s face contorted in a horrible expression when nothing happened after a long time.
The convoy reached the Mandrake Residence after that. This was considered to be the Aenar Temple’s territory.
According to the plan, the Surreys would rest here for a moment before heading straight to the Aenar Temple next.
