Chapter 603 - Trust

Jacob remained silent.

"Do you want me to send some of our men in those streets?" Arthur asked again.

This time, Jacob replied. "No, it's just a decoy. Stick to the plan and never leave your eyes on Jenny. We will be leaving in 15 minutes. I'll take her with me. Whatever happens, we'll meet at the Twelve Army Headquarters."

"Copy that." Arthur and Stefan replied at once. They immediately understand what Jacob means. The Bloodroot clan intentionally sent suspicious cars in that locations to distract them. They wanted to lure out as many of them in the locations until there were only a few of them left to look after J.

But they cannot be fooled by just some petty distractions. Jacob had already seen through them.

After 15 minutes, J and Jacob were already inside his SUV. Arthur and Daniel in the black sedan while Stefan and Felix on a black motorbike.

"Put on your seatbelts." J heard Jacob said in a grave tone. This is rare because he rarely reminds her to put on her seatbelts because he doesn't have to. She has the habit of putting on her seatbelt as soon as she gets in the car.

She already felt that the atmosphere is off. "Are they here?" She asked straightforwardly.

Jacob turned to look at her with a worried expression. He nodded his head and J immediately understands.

"Oh...I thought it was too early or am I late in my decision to stay at Twelve Army?" She said with a faint smile. She looked calm but deep inside her, she is already panicking.

"Honey..." Jacob reached out to caress her cheeks. "I'll do whatever it takes to protect you. Do you trust me?"

J didn't have to think twice. She nodded her head and said. "I trust you."

"Good," Jacob said before he started the engine of the SUV.

5 minutes past. It was still a peaceful drive. In front of them were two motorbikes then Arthur's car. Behind them is another SUV.

But J cannot settle down. She wants something to grab on. She looked at the steering wheel and she had the urge to take it from Jacob but she was sure that he wouldn't let her, just yet.

At exactly another minute past, they heard Professor Iris's voice in their communication device that is connected to Jacob's SUV.

"Three motorbikes behind you."

Those words made J flinched. It has started. She thought internally and prayed that everyone will escape this place unscathed.

They heard a man said. "Got it."

J looked at Jacob confused then she looked behind them. Suddenly another three motorbikes appeared from nowhere and positioned themselves side by side the first three motorbikes that started to follow them.

She felt Jacob's hand on the top of her hand. "Don't worry, sweetheart. They got them."

She looked at the rearview mirror and saw that one motorbike is already down. She cannot tell if that one is on their side or the enemy's.

She hasn't recovered from her surprise when she heard Professor Iris's voice. "Snipers ahead targetting Felix and Stefan."

"Oh, God!" J gasped for air when she heard it. Thou she remained calm, she cannot hide her worry towards Felix and Stefan.

"Honey, relax. They'll be fine." She heard Jacob said making her furious at him.

"How can you tell me to relax when your men are being targetted by snipers?!" She can't believe how could Jacob show worry for her while staying calm when his men are in danger.

"Because they are my men, I know their capabilities. I trust them." Jacob said.

His words struck her. She almost forgot that Felix and Stefan had undergone training in the Twelve Army. Jacob knows how capable they are because they are under him.

He wouldn't choose them as her personal security if he didn't trust them. She also heard that they were the best team in the Twelve Army.

"Piece of cake." She heard Felix's voice and it made her smile.

J didn't saw how Felix and Stefan swerved their motorbikes from side to side dodging the bullets that were aimed at them. The onlookers on the sidestreet were amazed at the sight of two motorbikes that seemed to be showing off on the streets.

"We'll take care of the snipers." Professor Iris said.

Inside a huge control room in the headquarters of the Robin Hood Society, there were about ten computer experts busying themselves on their keyboard while their eyes fixed on the huge monitors in front of them.

"Troy." Professor Iris called out a name.

A man with brown hair, red baseball cap, and denim jacket raised his hands. "Got it." He said, his deep baritone voice doesn't match his looks.

This guy named Troy has developed drones that are able to aim and fire at enemies while flying in mid-air. While the typical drones can be controlled by remote control at a maximum range of 1.6 km, he can control his drones at a maximum range of 100 km. And he can also control multiple drones through his computer.

He is a tech-nerd.
