Chapter 946
Summon Of The Sword
It was as if she was very familiar with Sean.
âGirlie, are you sure you want me to do this?â
Chadwick sensed the determination in Rachelâs voice and asked quietly after a long silence.
âYes!
âHelp him however much you can.â
Rachel nodded heavily without hesitation.
âOkay!â
Chadwick sighed and finally agreed.
He knew siding with Sean at this point was suicidal.
However, he chose to trust Rachelâs judgment.
At the same time.
A town not far from River City.
The town was called Joules Town.
Joules Town was much more prosperous and economically developed than River City.
As an ancient capital for six dynasties, it was naturally prosperous.
Besides, many grand historic events had happened here, so many people were familiar with it.
The ancient capital for six dynasties had produced many famous people over the years.
Now, the bustling modern city had also spawned many nationally famous enterprises.
In other words, it was much more advanced than River City.
There was a large manor on the outskirts of Joules Town.
It had towering mountains behind it and faced a river that stretched far as the eye could see.
You could see Joules Town Bridge from here, which was more than 4,000 meters long.
It was enveloped by nature and was a great place to live.
A natural boulder lay horizontally on the left of the manor entrance, and the front side was carved with the words âLathan Manorâ.
The two words were deeply carved into the boulder and painted with bright gold paint, making them conspicuous.
Joules Town Lathan Manor.
The place was a place that even many big shots shied away from.
It was said that a popular retired general lived there, and he had an extraordinary identity.
Old General Lathan should have settled in Janestown and stayed near the ruler, but he chose to return to his hometown.
Others also speculated about Lathan Manorâs background. No one knew or dared to inquire.
In short, very few in Joules Town dared to mess with Lathan Manor.
Lathan Manor.
The wellâfeatured middleâaged man was talking to someone in his study.
âSir, Ms. Chloe hasnât eaten all day,â
A servant in his fifties reported softly to the middleâaged man.
âLet her starve if she refuses to eat.
âForget about getting me to compromise in this way.â
The middleâaged man snorted coldly, his tone firm.
âSir.â
The servant sighed but dared not say anything more.
âAnyway, she can never leave Lathan Manor again without my permission!
âHow dare she run away from Joules Town? She has guts!â
The middleâaged man got angrier as he spoke and banged the table.
The servant was too frightened to say another word.
Seconds later, the middleâaged man sighed and got up.
âHas she really not eaten all day?
âWhy wonât she eat? If she wants to escape, shouldnât she escape after sheâs full?â
She was his daughter after all, so the middleâaged man had no choice but to give in.
The servant was silent for two seconds before telling the truth.
âSir, Ms. Chloe isnât on a hunger strike to get you to let her goâ¦
âI heard Ms. Chloe say she wants to help Lennon Group.â
âLennon Group?
âThe small company in River City that Chloe got into?
âHow dare they hide my daughter for so long? And I still havenât dealt with them.
âHelp them?â
The middleâaged man snorted coldly, his tone impatient.
He would have taken a shot at the Lennon Group if Chloe had not stopped him.
The servant was silent for two seconds before speaking again.
âSir, Ms. Chloe seemed to be doing well when she was thereâ¦â
The middleâaged man also fell into silence when he heard that.
âYou got a point.
âSheâll eat as long as I help the company out?â
Seconds later, the middleâaged man looked up at the servant.
âYes! As long as you help Lennon Group out, Iâll eat well and never run away again.â
Just then, the door was pushed open, and a pretty young girl stepped in.
The pretty girl was Chloe.
When the middleâaged man saw Chloe come in, he instantly went stoic and pretended to be serious.
âWhy do you want to help them?â
The middleâaged man looked at Chloe and asked indifferently.
Chloe stood at the door. She looked at the middleâaged man and spoke sternly.
âThey took care of me when I was in River City.
âWhen someone bullied me, they stood up for me.
âI only had a bit of money with me. I would have starved to death if it wasnât for Lennon Group.â
The middleâaged man glanced at Chloe. He approved of her gratitude.
âTell me whatâs going on with this little Lennon Group.â
The middleâaged man nodded and sat on the chair.
âUncle Campbell will tell you.
âYou have to do it no matter what.â
Chloe said and turned around to leave.
âHurry and eat something!
âOtherwise, I wonât do anything!â
The middleâaged man banged on the table and shouted as he pointed at Chloe.
Chloe left the room without looking back.
âTell me whatâs going on.â
The middleâaged man asked, looking at the servant and frowning.
âLennon Group isnât a large corporation, Sir.
âThey call themselves a group, but itâs only a small company founded recently.
âThey recently got into trouble with Janestownâs JenâBond Holdings, so they had been put under pressure.â
The servant gave the middleâaged man a briefing of what he had found out.
âHow dare JenâBond Holdings be so greedy?
âWhatâs the matter? How dare they want to encroach on Lathan Manorâs territory?â
The middleâaged man was surprised to hear about JenâBond Holdings, but he was not afraid.
JenâBond Holdings was indeed powerful.
However, it was nothing compared to Lathan Manor.
âSir, they dare not set up shop in Joules Town.â
The servant shook his head. JenâBond Holdings dared not open a branch in Joules Town no matter what.
The middleâaged man tapped on the table and asked again.
âSo youâre saying JenâBond Holdings used Janestownâs connections to get someone high up in Souz River to suppress Lennon Group?â
âYes!â
The servant nodded immediately.
The middleâaged man snorted coldly when he heard that.
âHow dare a small company like JenâBond Holdings cause so much trouble?
âWell, Iâll consider it as repaying his kindness for my daughter.
âCall the head of Souz Riverâs office. I want to speak to Charlie Chase,â
