Chapter 307

After getting off the plane. Frederick and Lloyd immediately rushed to the auction venue. The place was heavily guarded, and not even a fly could enter. When the fully armed soldiers in charge of guarding saw Frederick’s and Lloyd’s cars approaching, they immediately went to inspect them. “Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to pass! Turn back!”

now.

How can we turn back? We’ll not leave until we enter and replace

Frederick was not afraid at all. “Patrick is being kidnapped by armed men right no out what’s happening there!”

“Whan did you say!” A gun was aimed directly at Frederick’s head

Frederick didn’t flinch at all. Instead, he pressed his forehead against the gun and muttered, “Shoot if you have the guts! I won’t give up until I know how Patrick is inside”

“Your” the soldier uttered.

At this time, several luxury cars arrived. Several middle–aged men and women dressed lavishly and clearly of high status got out of the car and walked over anxiously.

One asked, “How is my husband?”

Another shouted, “My son! My precious son!”

Someone demanded. “Get out of the way! I want to go in and see my son!”

They were rycoons from various countries whom Quinton had contacted. They couldn’t sit and do nothing after knowing their families were trapped in the venue. They headed here to pressure Yondora’s authorities to let them in.

The guards stationed at the passageway grew anxious. These people were all members of powerful tycoons from different countries. Any injury would be difficult to explain, and if such news spread, it would cause a stir in international public opinion. No one dared to take responsibility for it. However, letting the emotional family members in would indeed cause serious trouble. After thinking for a while, they could only report to their superiors and let them decide

Frederick and others were very anxious, but there was still a chance to negotiate, so they could only wait.

At this time, another armored SUV drove over. It was customary to verify the identity of all people in the car. When Selina and Trevon–appeared, Frederick and Lloyd, who had been waiting impatiently, were stunned momentarily and wondered, “What are they doing here?”

After the inspection, the armored SUV was allowed to pass. When Selina and Trevon were about to get in the car, Frederick couldn’t help but rush over. “Selina, why are you here? Did you hear Patrick was in trouble, so you came to help?”

Selina couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Frederick, thinking, ‘How could there be someone so shameless like him in this world?‘ She didn’t want to speak to him, shutting the door. The SUV drove straight into the defense zone.

“Frederick, forget it. How could Selina possibly come to help? Someone from Insight Group might be locked up in there” Lloyd had long known Selina would never forgive the Harvey family, and only the gentle and silly Frederick still had hope in her. He thought she would return to the family and live in peace with them being their sister like before.

Although Lloyd felt guilty for Selina, if she really did this, he would doubt her intentions.

Frederick’s eyes suddenly darkened. He really wanted Selina to come for Patrick’s sake.

However, Lloyd was right. Maybe someone from the Brady family participated in the real estate bidding on behalf of Insight Group and got caught up in the situation. That was why Selina and Trevon came to deal with it in person and not for the Harvey family’s sake.

On second thought, Frederick noticed something wrong. “Something is not right, Lloyd. Why can Selina and Trevon enter with the army’s armored SUV while we have to wait outside“”

Lloyd was stunned and thought, Frederick has a point. W–What’s going on!‘

Everyone grew uneasy and clamored, demanding to enter. The soldier in charge of defense gradually lost control of the crowd and hurriedly asked for instructions from his superiors. Only then did the superiors ler the family members in. However, each family could only send o representative while the others had to wait outside.

After Frederick and Lloyd had a discussion, the former would enter while the latter waited outside for news

Soon, the army’s SUVs responsible for transporting family members drove over and sent the group of people to the military command post ahead An other from Yondora in charge of the matter came out to explain what was happening inside the venue to the families and asked them to calm down and not affect the rescue operation. Ollierwise, no one could bear the consequences if anything happened. Naturally, it aroused strong

protests from the families, but there was nothing they could do. After all, the safety of their families was now in the military’s hands.

“Have the armed men made any demands?” someone asked.

One urged, “Exactly! Lives are at stake here. If there’s any demand that will secure the release of the hostages, you should agree to it immediately!”

A woman said. “My husband has a heart disease. He can’t be triggered!”

An officer explained, “Currently, the venue is quiet. The armed men have not made any demands yet. We have arranged for the troops to seal off the surrounding area. Don’t worry. The safety of the hostages is our top priority. Please remain calm!

Frederick wanted to know more information. At this time, he noticed Selina and Trevon, who had come in carlier, were not there, so asked the officer who was leaving about it

he

privately

The officer sized Frederick up. “What is you

your relationship with themf

Frederick replied. Tm Selina’s brother, Frederick. We are from Harvey Group”

Remaining silent, the officer thought, Selina. That seems to be her name. Noticing the resemblance between Frederick and the woman named Jeffrey, the officer hesitated momentarily and said, “She’s here to help, but I can’t disclose the details. Since you’re her brother, ask her yourself once this is all settled. For now, stay here and wait!”

“What about a favor?” Before Frederick could ask more, the officer hurried away.

Meanwhile, Selina and Trevon officially met Jeffrey. She took the initiative to speak. “Jeffrey, I’ve r

reviewed the specific information on the plane. We can start anytime and anywhere.”

“Okay. Jacob.” Jeffrey, dressed in a military uniform and held absolute authority, called over a foreign man in a white lab coat. “This is Jacob Brown. He’s the chief of the cybersecurity agency in Yondora. He’ll be your assistant in this operation, and you can ask him for any help you need.”

Jacob sized Selina up solemnly. Seeing how young she was and not recognizing her, he couldn’t help but ask, “That’s her? Jeffrey, we’re only tolerating this operation because of you. You can’t just replace someone and expect us to do it. As a friend, I must warn you that you will bear great responsibility if this matter cannot be solved”

Jeffrey’s expression stiffened before he said, “If anything goes wrong, I’ll take full responsibility. Jacob, she’s my junior. I know her ability very well. If you underestimate someone because of their appearance, you’ll soon replace yourself proven wrong!”

If it weren’t for the tense situation, Jeffrey would have killed Jacob for showing disdain for Selina, the junior he cherished most.

Selina said indifferently, “Connect the fiber optic cable to the underground server. Just leave the rest to me,
