Chapter 108 - Jenny was left with no one

The next morning J started the day as usual. But outside the apartment, there were around twelve guards watching over her from a distance. Jacob went to work earlier than the usual without having breakfast due to an emergency.

Inside Jacob's office at CLP Hospital, he is having an emergency video conference with the leaders of Twelve Army.

"How's the situation at Crocus?" Jacob asked in a dignified tone while facing his laptop.

"It's not getting any better Boss. These pirates were quite troublesome. We are still negotiating." Aquarius replied in a frustrated tone.

The Crocus Offshore Oil Rig located near the Crocus Peninsula, south of Naupaka County is one of the major contracts of Twelve Army. The whole place and its surrounding area are guarded by mercenaries from Twelve Army.

Aquarius being the head of the Maritime Special Units of Twelve Army received reports that the oil rig is being threatened by pirates so he has to fly over there at dawn to resolve the turmoil as early as possible.

Jacob's expression turned into grim. "Continue negotiating. Don't give in to their request. Send additional backups in case the situation gets worst." He gave them short instructions.

Everyone nodded.

"But Boss, sending additional back up means I have to pull out the guards of the VVIP," Aquarius said hesitantly.

Jacob's brows snapped together. "Which VVIP?"

"Your VVIP sir. We don't have any spare men left. And those men guarding your VVIP were Maritime Special Units. It is best if we send them over." Aquarius replied.

Jacob is starting to have a headache. This dream of his grandfather of international expansion is leaving them with nothing men left. It is a good thing that the international companies and royals are eager to hire their missionaries but unfortunately, they are running out of it.

Although they have already established offices and training facilities in two other countries, they cannot produce skilled mercenaries in an instant.

"Cancer, how's the new batch of trainees?" Jacob asked pinching the space between his eyebrows. Cancer is the head of the Twelve Army Training Facility.

"I still need two more weeks before I can release them." Cancer replied.

"We should start recruiting skilled and professional mercenaries," Jacob muttered to himself but enough for everyone to hear and understand. They all nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Aquarius pull your men out." Jacob reluctantly said. Come to think of it, Jenny is a low-profile nurse and they haven't announced their marriage yet so she should be alright as for the moment.

At least that's what he thought.

Because at that moment. The Sano Twins have already planned out on how to abduct the heiress.

After their meeting, Jacob instructed Capricorn to tell Arthur and the rest to report back immediately tomorrow which Capricorn obliged.

Then he made a call to Jenny asking her of her plans this afternoon. And if there is any, he would accompany her. Fortunately, she planned to stay at home.

It is almost dark outside yet Jacob and James were still inside Jacob's office. Due to the chaos that is happening in Crocus, they have been in continuous contact with Aquarius and another leader involved.

Then they heard a hurried footstep from outside the office, Jacob and James alerted themselves until the door burst open to reveal Felix with a worried look catching his breath.

He walked towards Jacob.

"Speak!" Jacob already assumed that Felix had done his extra mission and he was eager to hear it.
