The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson) novel Chapter 315

Chapter 315 

About an hour later, Victor and Jackson arrived at the highway. The underlings previously sent out had reported to Jackson with the latest information even before they had arrived. The landslide was severe. Many vehicles on the highway had been affected, some even suffering casualties. And the car sent to pick up Cece was among them. The official rescue team was already on the scene. Victor’s crew had just arrived and had not yet located the vehicle, but they promised to report back as soon as they found it. That was all the news they had. 

“Mr. Bane, maybe you should stay in the car?” Victor wasn’t sure about the situation outside and feared that the landslide might be too dangerous for Jackson to face personally, so he suggested with concern. 

“The situation should be under control,” Jackson replied without hesitation, “Don’t worry. Let’s go together and see for ourselves.” 

Seeing Jackson’s determination, Victor could say no more. They both got out of the car. 

Up ahead, the highway was blockaded to stop any pedestrians and vehicles from going forward. Even from a distance, it was clear that the situation was grim. Some cars had even been flattened by huge boulders. The sight was nothing short of shocking. 

Jackson’s brows knit together slightly at the sight. His gaze was drawn straight ahead, his eyes narrowing instinctively. Just then, a group of men in black appeared. They moved quickly toward Jackson. 

“It’s them…” Victor muttered under his breath. These were the people he had sent earlier to scout the area. 

Jackson stood firmly in place, his cool gaze locked on those men in black. He noticed that there seemed to be an odd one among them. She was petite, her hands and feet trembling as if in terror. She wore a large hat, her small steps carrying her amidst the men in black. Therefore, Jackson couldn’t see her face or expressions. He could only judge by her figure and posture, that this person–was a woman. A thought flashed through Jackson’s mind; his fists clenched instinctively as his expression turned somber. The man immediately strode forward a few steps. 

“Mr. Bane?” Victor looked at him, puzzled, not understanding why Jackson, who was always so calm, had become so sudden and urgent. 

But in the next second the group of men in black confronted them. “Mr. Bane, we’ve brought the person to you.” Immediately after, they stepped aside to reveal the petite girl in the middle to everyone’s view.
