    Gilmore and Caleb, along with several managers from the Davis Group, stood at a high point on a hill:


    Indeed, the one in charge of amodating Gilmore’s inspection was none other than the Davis family’s young master. Caleb.


    Caleb had two of the inspectors unfold a map, introducing to Gilmore, “This is our mining area map, with a total area of 2471 acre, divided into 10 operat


    “We have over 4,000 workers, producing 60,000 ounces of gold annually. Currently, it’s thergest gold mine in Oakhaven and ranks among the top 10 n


    As he spoke. Caleb pointed out various mountains around and the bustling mining operations below, borating on the specifics of each mining zone to


    Gilmore listened attentively, nodding asionally.


    After the introduction. Caleb took Gilmore on a tour through the mining zones in a car.


    Hourster, with the apaniment of Caleb and the mine managers, Gilmore had practically inspected every mining


    Zone.


    As the sun was setting behind the western mountains, Gilmore decided to return to Vista Verde.


    “Mr. Davis, I appreciate your and the management’spanionship during the mine inspection today. It’s gettingte, so I’ll head back now. I’ll pay a vis


    Caleb and the managers waved goodbye to Gilmore. “Take care, Mr. Reed…”


    Under their farewell, Gilmore got into his Mercedes.

    Then, under the protection of two vehicles carrying bodyguards, he left the Davis Group.


    Indeed, the bodyguards were sent by Gratum to protect him during his visit to the mine.


    To ease the worries of Graham and Helene, Gilmore had allowed the bodyguards to apany him.


    Watching as the three vehicles carrying Gilmore and his entourage drove away along the mountain road, Caleb turned to all the mine managers beside h


    “Yes, Mr. Davis, all the managers responded in unison before dispersing


    Once everyone had left, Caleb took out his cellphone from his pocket and made a call.


    As the call connected, he said into the phone, “Mr. Suarez, Gilmore has left the mine. Are you guys ready…


    After speaking, he hung up the phone.


    A cold light shed across his eyes.


    Then, he turned and walked towards the mining factory building


    The three vehicles were driving through the mountainous roads when dusk gradually enveloped the sky.


    Inside the car. Gilmore had his eyes closed, seemingly resting.


    Suddenly, a jeep was spotted blocking the road leading to Vista Verde at a junction ahead.


    In the vehicle ahead, where a bodyguard was seated, the driver noticed the road was blocked by a car and immediately honked the hom


    “Beep, beep, beep!”


    Despite three honks, there was no movement from the jeep blocking the way.


    Consequently, the driver rolled down the window, poking his head out to shout at the jeep. “Hey, move your car to the side. Let us pass!”


    However, no matter how much he shouted, there was no response from the jeep.


    The driver mumbled, “Is there no one in the car?”


    Then he turned to the bodyguards in his vehicle and said, “You guys, go check it out. If there’s nobody, find a way to push. the jeep aside. We can’t dy


    “Yes,” several bodyguards responded and stepped out of the vehicle.


    Just as they were about to approach the jeep blocking the road, suddenly, from a fork in the road, two jeeps drove up and blocked the path of Gilmore’s


    Now, Gilmore’s three–vehicle convoy was trapped between the three jeeps.


    Realizing the situation, the bodyguards understood that the people in these jeeps likely harbored ill intentions toward


    Gilmore.


    As the two jeeps parked behind Gilmore’s convoy, quickly, about a dozen masked men in ck emerged from the jeeps, all carrying a type of machete. T

    At the same time, the doors of the jeep that had been standing sell at the front suddenly opened, and four or five masked. men dressed in ck emerge


    They, too, were carrying machetes, exuding a cold aura.


    A total of 15 or 16 masked men swiftly surrounded Gilmore’s convoy from the front and back.


    “Protect Mr. Reed!”manded a leader among the bodyguards immediately.


    Upon hismand all the bodyguards hastily scrambled out of the two vehicles they were seated in.


    Then, as if facing a grave threat, they formed a protective declearound the vehicle Gilmore was it.

    Then a dozen or to masked men from both front and backunched an assault on Gilmore’s verle of Seeing this, the head of the bodyguards roared, “Fig

    The sound of fists and palms striking echoed incessantly

    The masked man in ck released his internal mana to vibrate the air. His powerful fists bombarded the bodyguards one by

    The disparity in strength was extremely evident.


    lude the car, the driver was quite anxious, looking back at Gilmore in the back seat, saying nervously, “Mr. Reed, all of our


    ave been defeated by these masked men. What should we do now?”


    The driver was indeed very flustered.


    The masked men were too strong


    And the vehicle Gilmore was in was sandwiched between two vehicles. It was impossible for the driver to escape even if he

    In the driver’s view, he and Gilmore were likely going to die here today.


    Glimon, who had closed his eyes, only now opened them.


    Although he hadn’t watched the sh between the bodyguards and the masked men, He was not at all surprised that these


    dards were defeated by the masked men.


    That was because most of these masked men were elite internal force martialists, and among them, the one leading was a beginner top–

    So to protect Gilmore this time, Graham sent out mostly intermediate and elite external force martialists as bodyguards.


    The disparity in strength was too great.


    That was why a dozen bodyguards were all defeated by the masked men.


    Gilmore said to the anxious driver calmly, “Don’t worry, we will be fine.”


    After saying that, Gilmore opened the car door and stepped out.
