Chapter 175 Make sure our security stays close to the convoy at all times, Lauren instructed Eunice. We cant afford any problems.


    Eunice protested, But Miss, are we really going to leave behind a third of our herbs? If we go back with this amount, well have to shut down several pharmaceutical nts.


    The losses will be substantial.


    Ill cover the losses personally, Lauren replied with a cold smile.


    If Michael wants to y games, Ill y along until the end.


    Eunice was worried but stayed silent, turning to ry the orders to the convoy.


    After that, Lauren stepped out of the car and approached Tracia Martin, a scar faced woman standing nearby..


    Tracia, the convoy is heading out.


    Please have your team keep watch over them during the journey.


    Despite her unremarkable appearance and small frame, Tracias eyes held a sharp gleam that revealed her expertise as a martial arts master


    I apologize, Miss, but my team and I have only one mission to protect you.


    Anything else is beyond my scope.


    Lauren frowned


    Tracia, youre the Rhodes familys head of security.


    I brought you along specifically to protect my convoy.


    Dont worry about me.


    Miss, as I said, everything beyond your personal protection is outside my job scope, Tracia stated firmly


    Your safety is worth infinitely more than these herbs.


    So youd just stand by if someone hijacks over three million dors worth of herbs? Lauren snapped. Yes, Tracia replied calmly.


    As long as your life isnt in danger, its not my concern.


    Lauren gritted her teeth but said nothing more


    Tracia was a grandmaster level fighter specifically recruited from an elite martial arts academy to serve the Rhodes family


    While incredibly powerful, she was also antisocial and cold.


    She only took orders from Lauren and often ignored even the Rhodes family patriarch


    At least Lauren had 20 other Rhodes family security personnel with her, which gave her some peace of mind.


    The convoy of over a dozen trucks began their journey back to Jayrodale, with Laurens personal vehicle bringing up the rear.


    As they passed through a remote mountain base a beat up bus suddenly swerved out from a side road and blocked their path.


    Over 50 masked thugs rushed out, brandishing machetes with deadly intent.


    Chaos erupted as the front vehicles panicked, with several drivers being forced onto a different side of the road by the armed men


    The Rhodes family security team and corporate guards immediately engaged with the masked Chapter 175 attackers, and the sound of fighting filled the air.


    The attackers had clearlye prepared, and several of them showed exceptional fighting skills as they quickly took down the Rhodes family guards and advanced toward Lauren with murderous intent.


    These bastards have some nerve trying to hijack Rhodes Corporations supplies! Lauren shouted in fury as she watched the trucks being diverted from their return route.


    C Tracia quickly locked Laurens car doors and barked, Stay inside! There are skilled fighters among them getting out would be suicide ! Without waiting for Laurens response, she mmed on the gas and


    drove into the dense forest beside the road
