King s Awakening

Chapter 404: Chapter 404: The Panic of the Jones Family in the Capital City!
“Who?”

In response to Lisa Jones’s question, Black Turtle coldly smiles. The look he gave her was like he was looking at a fool.

“Even now, you still don’t know who you have offended. It seems, you so-called noble ladies are not so bright after all. Even I, as a mere Wu fu, are smarter than you.” Black Turtle derisively said.

Upon hearing this, Lisa Jones furrowed her brows in an instant. Her pretty face was filled with frustration.

Everyone knew that among the five War Kings, Black Turtle was the most straightforward and brutal. Behind his back, many people commented, calling his simplicity and brutality as a sign of lack of thinking.

But Lisa Jones had never imagined that she would one day be ridiculed by the likes of Black Turtle.

However, bringing it back, who exactly from the War Department had she offended?

Moreover, someone who could alarm Black Turtle himself.

Lisa Jones furrowed her brow in thought. Gradually, her gaze became increasingly severe.

Could it be White Mitchell!?

She considered all the people she had dealt with recently, and White Mitchell was the only one.

And up to now, she hasn’t heard any news from Wu Lao’s side yet.

Could it be that White Mitchell really had such a powerful background?

White Mitchell…White…the title of the Supreme Military Lord granted by the Elders’ House seemed to be White.

Hiss!

Thinking of this, Lisa Jones’s eyes brightened suddenly. Subsequently, she subconsciously took a sharp breath.

The cold air, through her nostrils, went straight to her forehead, causing Lisa Jones to tremble all over.

In a short while, cold sweat the size of soybeans had soaked her clothes through.

Showcasing the extent of her fear at this moment.

On the other hand, Black Turtle had a cold smile on his face as he watched the changes in Lisa Jones’s expression. He then said in amusement: “You’re scared now? It’s too late! Daring to send people to assassinate my superior, I’ve seen plenty of brainless people but you’re the first one that’s this brainless.

What a noble lady from a prominent family, I think you’re a bunch of idiots!

Guards, take this fool, along with the other fools, back to the Northern Territory Command Department. No one is allowed to visit her, violators are subject to military law!”

“No, no, no…Lord Black Turtle, you can’t arrest me, I have nothing to do with this, I am the eldest daughter of the third branch of the Jones Family, you can’t arrest me. I want to meet with a lawyer, I want to meet…” Seeing the pressing approach of the soldiers from the Northern Territory Command Department, Lisa Jones became panicked.

But Black Turtle didn’t give her the chance to continue howling. With a swift chop, he knocked her unconscious then took her back to the Northern Territory Command Department.

…

Capital City, the Jones family!

Later that night, all the heads of the big, second and third branches of the Jones Family in the Capital City gathered in the villa where the main family resided. Their faces were all filled with a lingering gloom.

“What did you of the third branch do? How did Lisa Jones, such a grown woman, disappear just like that? Wasn’t Wu Lao always by her side?”

“Aren’t you of the third branch trying to do something behind our backs? The situation in Capital City is unpredictable now, don’t tell me you want the third branch to become independent?”

“Go to hell! If I were to do something shady, would I use my own daughter’s life as a joke? Now my daughter is missing, yet you all are making sarcastic remarks. Could it be that you kidnapped my daughter?”

…

The main members of the Jones family argued the moment they met. Each had a flushed face and grim expressions, unable to tolerate the sight of each other.

Seeing this, as the ruler of the main family and the current leading figure of the younger generation of the Jones family, Andrea Jones couldn’t help but say, “Both uncles, please calm down. If outsiders saw the Jones family in such disarray, what would they think of us?

Do you want to give those who are eyeing the Jones family an opportunity to take advantage?

Everyone calm down. As for Lisa, I have already sent people to the airport for an investigation. Since her private plane landed at the airport, it means that she must have disappeared at the airport. I believe there will be news soon, so the two of you should wait a bit longer.”

Once Andrea Jones spoke, both the second and third branch heads ceased arguing. However, their attitude toward each other suggested that they were only putting on a show.

In a short while, a shadow swept past the entrance of the villa. If one didn’t pay close attention, they would not notice this person’s presence.

When the members of the Jones family reacted, a note had already appeared in front of Andrea Jones.

Besides Andrea Jones, everyone else was involuntarily surprised.

Andrea Jones, at such a young age, managed to sit in the seat of the Family Head. However, it wasn’t because of her status as the firstborn daughter, but her actual capabilities.

In the whole Jones family, besides herself, no one knew how many tricks she had up her sleeve, including her own father!

It’s noteworthy that when her father was being sidelined, it was a complete shock. Even her father didn’t know when she started to do all of this.

This showed just how formidable a woman Andrea Jones was.

Thinking of this, both the second and the third branch heads revealed a wary gaze.

At that moment, Andrea Jones glanced at the note and then turned her gaze towards the head of the third branch, Lisa Jones’s father, Legend Jones.

Upon her gaze, Legend Jones shivered involuntarily, a feeling of unease filled his heart.

“Fl… Andrea, is there any news yet?” Legend Jones cautiously inquired.

Andrea Jones didn’t answer directly, instead, she threw the note in front of Legend Jones: “Read it for yourself.”

Hmm!?

Legend Jones was startled and then picked up the note on the ground. It written clearly: Lisa Jones was taken away by Black Turtle, and Military Lord White is suspected to have appeared in Sayon!

This!!!

Seeing the information, Legend Jones shivered all over. These two sentences seemed irrelevant, but they were noted on the same slip of paper. This meant that the investigator judged these two events to be one and the same.

Andrea Jones’s intelligence system may not be the best in Dragon Realm, but it ranks among the many noble families in Capital City.

This means that the information on the note was not unfounded.

If these two events are genuinely interconnected, then it can only explain one thing: Lisa Jones offended Military Lord White in Sayon, and as soon as she arrived in Capital City, she was taken away by the Black Turtle of the White War Department!

Only this explanation would make sense.

Whoosh!

When Legend Jones made this conclusion, he found it hard not to shiver. He looked at Andrea Jones with fear.

His daughter had made a huge mistake now, and it was such that could cause the Jones family’s downfall. Andrea Jones would not spare him under any circumstances.

Thinking of this, Legend Jones fell on his knees in front of Andrea Jones and pleaded, “Family Head, I was momentarily confused. I shouldn’t have let Lisa go to Sayon, but I didn’t know beforehand that Lisa would offend Military Lord White in Sayon!

Please spare me…”

“Spare you?” Andrea Jones sat emotionless in the main seat and coldly said, “Then who will spare us, the Jones Family? That’s a Military Lord, moreover, the Supreme Military Lord personally granted by the Elders’ House. Do you think how many lives our Jones family can spare!?”
