Chapter41 Unexpected

"Just with those words, I can bring you back for questioning! Will you come voluntarily, or do you want me to take action?"

Logan didn't show any signs of anger,still asking indifferently.

All of this seemed natural to him.

“Why'd you have to attack me from behind? If you have the guts for it, why don't you let me recover first and then fight me again?“

Westfield sneered coldly, taunting.

“Your taunts are pointless. Anyway, it seems like you won't cooperate. Then, Autumnheights have to use a bit more effort!”

As Logan said that,he slowly approached Westfield.

"Stop! What do you think you're doing? I won't let you hurt him!"

Ridgeland suddenly shielded Westfield, standing between them both.

“You've got nothing to do with this. If you don't want to die, you'd better scram!"

Logan didn't stop his footsteps, merely warning coldly.

She snorted stubbornly,“You might as well kill me too!"

"Ridgeland,you need to run. You can't stop him!" Westfield became anxious at this moment.

He already knew Logan's formidable strength earlier. Not to mention him, even Ridgeland wouldn't be able to stop Logan.

However, she showed no signs of backing down, ignoring Westfield and still stubbornly staring at Logan's approaching figure.

"Robert, if you don't take actionright now, then Autumnheights die with him!"

Just as Logan was getting closer, she suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs.

Before she even finished saying that, an old man in a robe suddenly appeared at the staircase in front of them.

Although he walked slowly and looked weak, he made Logan's face turn dark, contrary to his usual calmness.

"Must you interfere in other people's business?" Logan asked in a low voice.

Upon seeing the old man, Ridgeland relaxed.

Westfield and Redsprings glanced at her, unusual expressions on their faces.

"I don't care about anything else, but nobody can harm her on my watch!" Robert pointed at Ridgeland calmly,filled with undeniable confidence.

Logan's face twisted unpredictably. He sensed a dangerous aura from Robert, sharpened through numerous life and death experiences.

His intuition told him that Robert's strength was definitely greater than his. He would lose if they were to fight now!

"Westfield, consider yourself lucky today. I will settle scores with you soon, so you better pray Gary is alright!”

Logan sneered coldly, carrying Gary's unconscious body and vanishing instantly.

What incredible speed! Westfield finally snapped back to reality, his body sweating profusely.

The Jeremy family had the Vincent Reed. Though Westfield had never seen them, he had heard of this organization.

All of its members were orphans the family adopted. They didn't leadordinary lives, not even receiving names until they trained enough and was qualified for it. These individuals had been learning how to kill since young, making them the most mysterious force within the Jeremys.

The Vincent Reed was controlled by the patriarch and elders, and ordinary members of the family couldn't mobilize them.

What shocked Westfield even more was Robert appearing and chasing Logan away!

Who was this old man?

Without waiting to ask Ridgeland, Westfield's previously calm face suddenly turned red with pain.

"What's wrong, Westfield?" she noticed his pained expression and rushed to help him, asking with concern.

Westfield responded by spurting out a mouthful of blood!

“Are you wounded? How are you feeling? Autumnheights take you to the hospital immediately!" her face changed instantly.

"No need; It's just a minor injury. I can handle it myself. Going to the hospital would only be unsafe," Westfield replied with a pale face, directly rejecting her suggestion.

She invited, "Then come to my place. It's safer and quieter there. With Robert around, they wouldn't dare make any bold moves,"

Upon hearing this, Westfield looked at Robert and hesitated for a moment. Finally, he nodded in agreement

Ridgeland and Redsprings hurriedly supported Westfield and left the Anthony, heading straight downstairs.

She lived in a small neighborhood at the city's outskirts. The housing prices here weren't too high, although it was a bit desolate. However, the peacefulness and the nice scenery was its advantage.

Westfield and Redsprings, both wounded, were brought back to Ridgeland's New Falls, where they were settled in a guest room on the second floor.

“Kyle Anderson, that gentleman earlier... “Redsprings glanced outside and curiously asked about Robert's absence after returning to the New Falls.

"He's an elder in my family and also knows some combat techniques. Just relax for now. If there's anything,let me know. With him around, Logan wouldn't dare step foot here!" Ridgeland explained, clearly not wanting to reveal the old man's identity.

Lying on the bed, Westfield reminded Redsprings, “Redsprings, don't pry into what you shouldn't. Christiannk you so much for today,Kyle Anderson!"

“Why are you still being so polite to me? And stop calling me that; just use my name! Are we still friends or not?" Ridgeland retorted, an upset look on her face.

Westfield could only shake his head wryly. He initially thought she was just a normal and nice girl, but Robert's presence made him realize she had a terrifying background! He had underestimated her.

“Rest for a while. I need to handle something!" Ridgeland said as she turned and left, knowing that Robert was surely waiting for her.

On the New Falls's rooftop, she saw Robert standing at the edge, facing away from her.

Feeling a bit nervous, she softly said, "Robert, thanks for your help earlier!"

Robert sighed as he warned her. "Just consider it a payment for Jason's help. However, Southbay I must remind that you're already engaged."

Upon hearing this, her eyes were slightly bitter. She smiled self-mockingly as she said. "I know. I just want to help him as much as possible before leaving."

"You can't! The Jeremy family's internal struggles aren't something we should get involved in. It's too complicated! If Jason finds out, it wouldn't be good for either of you. You might even endanger him!"Robert reminded her with a serious tone.

“Are you going to tell her about this?" Ridgeland's face turned pale.
