Chapter 175 Make sure our security stays close to the convoy at all times , Lauren instructed Eunice .


    We cant afford any problems .


    Eunice protested , But Miss , are we really going to leave behind a third of our herbs ? If we go back with this amount , well have to shut down several pharmaceutical nts .


    The losses will be substantial .


    Ill cover the losses personally , Lauren replied with a cold smile .


    If Michael wants to y games , Ill y along until the end .


    Eunice was worried but stayed silent , turning to ry the orders to the convoy .


    After that , Lauren stepped out of the car and approached Tracia Martin , a scar faced woman standing nearby ..


    Tracia , the convoy is heading out .


    Please have your team keep watch over them during the journey .


    Despite her unremarkable appearance and small frame , Tracias eyes held a sharp gleam that revealed her expertise as a martial arts master .


    I apologize , Miss , but my team and I have only one mission to protect you .


    Anything else is beyond my scope .


    Lauren frowned .


    Tracia , youre the Rhodes familys head of security .


    I brought you along specifically to protect my convoy .


    Dont worry about me .


    Miss , as I said , everything beyond your personal protection is outside my job scope , Tracia stated firmly .


    Your safety is worth infinitely more than these herbs .


    So youd just stand by if someone hijacks over three million dors worth of herbs ? Lauren snapped .


    Yes , Tracia replied calmly .


    As long as your life isnt in danger , its not my concern .


    Lauren gritted her teeth but said nothing more .


    Tracia was a grandmaster level fighter specifically recruited from an elite martial arts academy to serve the Rhodes family .


    While incredibly powerful , she was also antisocial and cold .


    She only took orders from Lauren and often ignored even the Rhodes family patriarch .


    At least Lauren had 20 other Rhodes family security personnel with her , which gave her some peace of mind .


    The convoy of over a dozen trucks began their journey back to Jayrodale , with Laurens personal vehicle bringing up the rear .


    As they passed through a remote mountain base a beat up bus suddenly swerved out from a side road and blocked their path .


    Over 50 masked thugs rushed out , brandishing machetes with deadly intent .


    Chaos erupted as the front vehicles panicked , with several drivers being forced onto a different side of the road by the armed men .


    The Rhodes family security team and corporate guards immediately engaged with the masked Chapter 175 attackers , and the sound of fighting filled the air .


    The attackers had clearlye prepared , and several of them showed exceptional fighting skills as they quickly took down the Rhodes family guards and advanced toward Lauren with murderous intent .


    These bastards have some nerve trying to hijack Rhodes Corporations supplies ! Lauren shouted in fury as she watched the trucks being diverted from their return route .


    C Tracia quickly locked Laurens car doors and barked , Stay inside ! There are skilled fighters among them getting out would be suicide ! Without waiting for Laurens response , she mmed on the gas and drove into the dense forest beside the road .
