“...Whoareyou? Did Yael send you here?” jasmine asked in a somewhat doubtful tone.
Although night had arrived, the headlights of all the cars were bright enough for those within Jasmine's group to see how valiant the bodyguards were when they stood behind their leader.
It was clear that these bodyguards had only received the most rigorous training, and from what Jasmine knew, only a few large families could afford to hire such a powerful bodyguard.
Moreover, it was already very late yet the men came over so majestically. How could they not be Jael's subordinates? Knowing that only amplified the anxiety of Jasmine and the others as they stood close together in preparation to attack or run.
“Huh. Jael? Who's that?" tease the youth of a leader before adding, “I was ordered by my master to take you away from danger, Miss Fenderson. I hope you'll work together because we really don't have much free time. Come with us.”
"Your master ... Who's she?" jasmine asked with slightly raised eyebrows.
The young man, however, said nothing and simply returned to his car.
As soon as he did that, the two bodyguards walked over to Jasmine's group before saying, “Please get into the car, Miss Fenderson, and all of you. We'll take you to a safe place.”
After hearing that, Jasmine and the others could only look at each other.
If those men really had malicious intentions, then they would definitely attack Jasmine and her group as they stood in front of them. But they didn't do it. There was also a problem with how many strong guards were present. Jasmine knew for sure that none of them could handle many trained guards at once.
In the end, Jasmine simply nodded. What other option do they have than to trust them?
After entering the car, all fifty cars immediately started to drive on the road. Moments later when the car finally stopped again outside a large warehouse located somewhere in the suburbs.
“Yael's men should not be able to find this place easily, so you are safe for now,” said the previous leader while lighting a cigarette while leading the group further to the place. After walking for a while, Jasmine and her group were instantly relieved to see a warm meal had been prepared for them.
“Thank you for saving us, Sir... How should we call you?” maia asked gratefully as she felt her heart thump. He was weak towards people who had an unyielding attitude like the leader who had just brought them here.
"Ha huh! You welcome! Though honestly not me, you should be thanking me. I just follow orders from my master. However, eat food while warm and rest. We'll send you back to the Fenderson family's house tomorrow.”
Just as Jasmine was about to ask him something, the young man turned around and threw his cigarette on the ground. After stepping on her — to put it out — she walked out of the room before Jasmine could even finish her question.
With his departure, only about a dozen people were left inside the warehouse.
“Tell Jasmine... Do you know who saved us…? Since Fenderson is so powerful and influential, can the person who helped us become one of your ancestral friends?” ask Maia.
Hearing that, Jasmine shook her head with a frown before saying, “I really doubt that, anyone reliable either from my family or the subordinate family below us has been captured by Noah as seen before inside the hidden chamber. As for family friends, I don't remember any of them being this mysterious, powerful, or even influential! I really don't know who can do all this.”.
“So... Anyway, due to their lack of hostility all this time, I really believe we can be caught off guard around them,” Maia said.
In response, the others nodded in agreement.
A moment later, Jasmine looked at Maia and Warren before asking, “You two seem to have undergone professional training. Could it be that you two are just transfer students?”
Hearing that, Maia smiled before replying, “You are sharp. While it's true that being a transfer student is just a cover, I'm afraid we can't reveal our true identity to you.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Gerald slowly drops Stella into the car as he orders the driver to send her home.
She was surprised when she heard him say, “Go home and rest well. By the time you wake up tomorrow morning, everything will be dealt with. ”
“Gerald, too dangerous here! Why don't you come with me and spend the night at my house?” stella replied, her worries reflected in her tone.
“Cannot. I still have some things to finish tonight. ”
“But the thunder is heard.. The rain will soon fall... We are all saved! What else to do?” stella said, insisting that she go with him.
“Remember our promise. Besides keeping the fact that you have seen me as a secret, you do not have to worry about anything else. ”
