Chapter 1221: Chapter 1218
And the most pitiful one was still Lucas, thrown onto the snow-covered road, even breathing was difficult, but under the bitter cold, it seemed like his wounds had been frozen too!
He, propping himself up off the ground, stumbled to his feet, “Miss, I… I will definitely save you!”
“I will definitely save you!”
He had to find another taxi!
Only in this way could he use the little money he had to buy a plane ticket to the Eastern Sea of America.
He just refused to believe that Oliver Walker was a heartless cold-blooded creature!
He simply couldn’t believe that man would stand by and not help!
The reason the young lady was like this, was entirely due to the great shock she had suffered, leading to an intensification of her inner demons, causing severe depression!
No!
The torment of inner demons was a thousand times, a hundred thousand times worse than the most severe depression!
How many masters of martial arts had died not at their enemies’ hands, but to the torture inflicted by their own inner demons?
He was certain!
If the miss could defeat her inner demons, she would definitely become the strongest ninja of the Eastern Alliance!
Ninjutsu was not about discarding the seven emotions and six desires!
The way of the sword wasn’t heartless either!
The true essence of ninjutsu and the way of the sword should be the union of emotion and desire!
Meanwhile, in a villa!
“Mr. Pinn!”
Wright Taro said with a smile, “I hope you will honor your promise to give me some help, as long as I can seize the position of head of the household, the future Wright Company will definitely prioritize the Federal Bureau of Investigation!”
“You tell me to go west, and I will never go east!”
His only thought now, to avenge his son killed by Oliver Walker, was to kill his own elder brother who held the head of the household.
Only by doing this would he have enough power on hand to deal with Oliver Walker!
And for this, he was willing to give his all!
“Don’t worry!”
Pinn said with a teasing smile, “I’ve already sent Ellie Will to aid you in the Eastern Alliance!”
All his thoughts were wicked.
Knowing full well that it was questionable whether Ellie Will could even escape from Eastern Ocean City, he made his promises sound very nice.
Even if Ellie Will were to die in the Eastern Sea of America, at least nominally, the Federal Bureau of Investigation would have made a considerable effort.
Therefore, even if Wright Taro did end up controlling the company in the future, he would be obliged to serve the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
And if he failed, he and Wesley Wright could continue to cooperate just the same.
After all, the Federal Bureau of Investigation had not interfered.
It had to be said that their calculations were such that, whatever the outcome, there would be something to gain.
Of course, if one didn’t have what it takes, one couldn’t hope to sit secure as the FBI Director!
“Good!”
“Good!”
“Then I’ll wait for Miss Ellie Will’s reinforcement!”
Wright Taro’s heart already burst with joy, but if he knew the kind of encirclement and pursuit Ellie Will was facing now, he would surely erupt in curses.
And by nightfall, the Yamaguchi-gumi, which had long coveted First Company, wasn’t idle either, launching a deadly attack on the assets of Wright Company again.
It’s fair to say that Wright Company had been on the back foot since the outbreak of the fighting.
Meanwhile, in the Eastern Sea of America!
Martial law had not been lifted!
Almost every street, every corner, was guarded by the National Guard.
And the agents from the intelligence organizations, now disguised as ordinary people, were present in every corner, searching for suspicious individuals.
“Damn it!”
Ellie Will, having disguised herself as an Eastern woman, indeed had not been discovered, but…
Right now, both the skies and the sea of Eastern Ocean City were under wartime blockade.
This meant that even though she hadn’t been detected, she could only stay within the confines of the Eastern Sea Region!
Actually, be it Oliver Walker these days, life wasn’t easy for him; such a blockade absolutely could not last too long, once more than two days passed, panic would ensue.
If it went beyond three days, the functioning of the city would be in great jeopardy.
Should it exceed a week, the consequences would be even more dire!
Therefore, this kind of blockade was a regretful and damaging last resort!
