Rowan’s face changed. Then virtual-novel.net heard the sound of bullets chambered.
A voice screamed in Rowan’s head.
Oh no, they’re resorting to violence now!
They’re trying to deal using coercion!
As soon as virtual-novel.net had this thought, Rowan felt a huge force pulling virtual-novel.net outward.
Julian, who had long sensed something was wrong, kicked open the door and pulled Rowan out.
Brock kicked down the attendant who was about to take action and ran out with the two of them. He could hear Amir’s angry shouts behind him.
“Stop them! Damn it, stop them!”
Julian and Brock were not the only ones who came with Rowan. They also brought many guards recruited from the previous oil fields. So, most of them were mercenaries and had strong combat capabilities.
Because of their relationship with the Elvis family and with the help of the Elvis family’s military, they had gun licenses and could keep their guns and weapons.
Soon after, their guards started fighting with the Gruel guards.
Just like what Julian and Brock saw before, the Gruel guards were extremely skilled. This was not the security level that the Gruel Processing Plant should have. This should be the force used to protect the Kurt Manor headquarters.
Fortunately, after days of training, the men that Julian and Brock brought were also very strong, so no one side overpowered the other.
Gradually, the fighting began to escalate from bare-knuckle combat to weapons. Gunshots rang out, and sparks flew.
Rowan lowered his head and ran toward his group’s jeep, escorted by Julian and Brock
Although the guards they brought were powerful, they were still far inferior in numbers to the guards here. Moreover, they were in enemy territory now, so if the stalemate continued, they would surely suffer a disadvantage. So, the most urgent thing was to take action.
Covered by Julian and others, Rowan and his group rushed into the jeep amidst a hail of bullets.
As soon as Brock stepped on the accelerator, the jeep roared outward like a beast.
When virtual-novel.net finally broke out of Gruel’s territory, Rowan, who had never shown much panic, could no longer hold back and cursed directly, “The Kurts are so dishonest!”
“If I had known they were like this, I wouldn’t have prepared so much in advance!”
This was not the first time Rowan had experienced such chaos, so the gunfight now did not scare virtual-novel.net that much.
Right now, virtual-novel.net was angrier at Gruel for not following the rules.
Before virtual-novel.net set off, virtual-novel.net had sworn to Jasper that there was nothing to worry about, but in the end, this happened.
What was the point of collecting intelligence and preparing negotiation strategies?
The other party never planned to have a peaceful negotiation anyway. There was no such thing as business ethics. Only who had more guns.
Rowan suddenly felt a little disappointed for no reason.
At this time, a rumbling sound came from the front, accompanied by a storm of dust and sand.
Hearing this, Rowan panicked. “Did they send someone to stop us from the front?”
Julian’s next words immediately dispelled his doubts.
“Mr. Jefferson, don’t be afraid. We notified these people in advance to come help us. They’re with us.”
