Chapter 71 Death Trap

 Tia was so anxious and panicky that she blurted, “I don’t know if my dad is safe.”

 William said. “Ask him to send his location immediately. Jason, step on the gas!”

 She nced at the location sent by Turner and noticed that there were at least ten kilometers between them. So, Jason stepped on the gas pedal, and the car speed suddenly soared to over a hundred.

 William thought about their situation and decided to make some arrangements. “Call Jade King. The escort team belongs to him, so he will be taking responsibility for this.”

 Tia nodded and dialed Jade King’s phone number, but no one answered the call. The other party’s line was always busy.

 “No one is answering. She frowned as the worry in her heart grew.

 William raised an eyebrow at that. “Tia, could it be that Jade King wants to take our cargo that is worth over 300 million as his own?”

 “Impossible. Tia shook her head and continued, “If he does that, wouldn’t it ruin his reputation?”

 He looked at her. “But what if we died due to unfortunate idents?”

 Tia was stunned. “idents?”

 William sighed and replied, “I hope that it’s just my paranoia talking. Call Uncle Lloyd again.”

 Once the phone call went through, he demanded, “Uncle, you need to find a ce to hide. Don’t contact anyone or call the police before we arrive.”

 He knew that with the Jade King’s influence, it would be far from a surprise that the localw enforcement and criminal investigation teams were under his thumb. So, reporting this to the police would be meaningless and could reveal their location to the enemy instead.

 Meanwhile, Tristan was meeting with a young man in his study. The man was in histe twenties, dressed. in a suit, and had neatlybed hair.

 The man smiled and asked, “Master Tristan, was it a call from Tia?”

 Tristan nodded and replied, “They split up, so I had them release Turner intentionally. When these people. arrive, we will take care of them in one fell swoop.”

 He took a puff of his cigar and drawled, “The mountain road they are currently on is perilous. If things go ording to n, they’ll plummet to their deaths into a deep river. Not even their corpse would be able to be retrieved once they perish.”

 The young manughed and replied, “Thank you for your efforts, Master Tristan. As agreed, the goods that are worth more than 300 million will all belong to you. And the Lloyds will release a statement stating that Turner and his </bpanions have passed away in a car ident, which has nothing to do with you.”

 Tristan looked at the young man and said, “Thomas, your methods are truly admirable. You can even eliminate your own ally to achieve your goals. How ruthless and decisive!”

 several big deals recently. Even the old man has begun to admire him. My mother and brother are very worried about this, so I had to find a way to get rid of him and his daughter to nip the problem in the bud, as it were.”

 Tristan dismissed his words with a wave of his hand and said, “I’m not interested in your family business. However, I do not want to hear any rumors that are unfavorable to me once this is over and done with.”

 Thomas answered, “There’s no need to worry, Master Tristan. I have considered all possible aspects and will not make such rookie mistakes.”

 Tristan nodded in satisfaction and remarked, “This is risky business. If anything goes wrong, our names will be tarnished. Therefore, I have sent two experts to handle this matter. Of course, regarding the matter of theirmission… I’m sure that the Lloyds would have no problems dealing with that, yes?

 Thomas smiled and replied. “Of course!”

 Meanwhile, Jason was speeding down the road. Still, he had to slow down in the second half of the journey because the mountain road was twisty and steep. On one side of the road was a cliff that was thousands of feet high, and on the other was a surging river. So, those who value their life would not rush through this particr stretch.

 In the end, it took twenty minutes to arrive at the location where Turner was.

 Jason parked the car. On their right was the cliff as far as their eyes could see, whereas the wind whistled through the trees in the forest on their left. When William left the car and took a cursory nce around the area, he quickly found Turner hiding in a grove of trees several tens of meters away, shivering with fear.

 Turner had his eyes on the road the entire time. So, the instant he caught sight of William and the others, he hastily darted toward them and shouted, “Quick! Start the car and drive away!”

 s, he had only managed to meet them halfway when an SUV appeared behind them and blocked their escape route. Then, just a few secondster, another SUV came from the front to block their path.

 Six people got out of each car and circled them like sharks that had scented blood in the water. Each of them was holding two shotguns, four handguns, and the others were carrying machetes.

 Turner was horrified and dared not make another move. His face took on a ghastly expression as he thought with terror, We’re done for!

 Among the two groups of people, a middle–aged man came forward. His right hand looked oddly dead, and itcked any nails. It was obvious from the get–go that he practiced some sort of poison palm. technique. William scrutinized him and quickly concluded that the man was a high–level expert in the Qi

 State.

 The middle–aged man only stopped when he was two meters in front of William and said indifferently, “I am very sorry, but I have been asked to send you on your way.”

 William coldly replied, “Is Tristan not afraid that his reputation will be tarnished after taking this course of

 action?”

 The middle–aged man quirked an eyebrow andmented, “You’re smart, kid. s, that doesn’t matter now since you’ll be dead soon.”

 William answered, “Is that so? You think you can kill me with just a few of you?”

 The middle–aged man sneered. “I am Frank Smith, the poisoner Perhaps you haven’t heard of me. I only need one strike to end your pathetic lifel

 William merely sighed lightly and said, ‘Scarlet, do it.”

 A sh of red appeared in that split second. The other party had no idea what was going on as the red blur was too fast for their eyes. Then, before they could react, they heard a tter as two shotguns and four handguns fell to the ground. Of course, the six hands holding the guns were also neatly severed at the

 wrist.

 “Ahhhh…” Six people screamed their lungs out as a wave of agony hit their senses.

 Frank, the poisoner, was beyond shocked. Nheless, he quickly snapped back to his senses and roared as he attacked William’s face, palm forward.

 Yet, William only smirked coldly and used his Dragon Fist technique from the Holy Dragon Fist of the Five Dragons series to counterattack. His actions were so subtle, but Frank was sent flying by the shockwave as he took a punch straight to the chest.

 Crack!

 The punch violently shattered his heart. He only managed a brief wail before falling off a cliff that was thousands of feet high.

 Meanwhile, while William reacted to Frank’s frontal attack, another sneakier Qi State master tried to take him by surprise by striking from his blind spot. But before he could even make his move, his chest was pierced through by a sword.

 He looked down and parted his lips to say something, but Scarlet kicked him off the cliff before he could say hisst words.

 William swept his gaze across the scene before him and noticed that the dozen or so people were all strewn across the ground like broken dolls. Not a single one was left alive! All of them had been stabbed through the throat with a sword. Blood was gushed through the wound as the liquid stained the ground red. The tragic scene seemed as though it was something out of a nightmare.

 Regardless, Scarlet didn’t experience even the slightest bit of guilt after killing more than ten people in cold blood. She even had the mind to ensure that her sword remained utterly spotless after skewering them.

 William nodded to Jason, who didn’t hesitate to kick all the bodies off the cliff one by one. Then, he smartly cleaned up the bloodstains at the scene with some water he got from the car.

 Unfortunately, Tia was far from ustomed to such bloodshed as her face turned stark white. She was utterly stricken as she stammered tremulously, “T–They’re all… all dead!”

 During the very short fight, Turner had managed to hike down the mountain. He was panting heavily as het asked, “William, what do we do now?”

 William asked, “Where are the goods?”

 Turner pointed straight ahead and replied promptly. “They’re nearby. It seems that their previous roadblock robbery was all just a ruse. It was all a trap to trick us intoing here.”

 We had Jason drive the SUVs away that were blocking the road before driving forward. They hadn’t

 even driven for a hundred meters when they noticed the truck with their stolen goods. To no one’s surprise, there wasn’t even a driver in that vehicle..

 Thus, William asked Jason to drive the truck while he drove the car.

 By the

 e time William had started the engine, Tia had finallye to her senses as she huffed angrily. This has Tristan written all over it! We need to leave the Southside as soon as possible. Otherwise, I’m sure Tristan will do anything to eliminate us. He will never allow us to live.”

 Although Turner understood her logic, he only smiled bitterly and said, “Southside is Tristan’s territory. He only needs half an hour to stop us from leaving Southside’s borders. Moreover, even if we somehow seeded in leaving Southside, he will still send assassins after us!”

 Screech! William suddenly hit the brakes, startling everyone.

 Tia instinctively asked, “William, why did you stop the car?”
