Immediately after saying that, Noah let out a sneer.
Bryson himself was finally catching on to how cornered favonovel.com truly was. He would’ve never imagined that the Schuylers were actually this capable.
“You… Have you captured Jasmine and Mindy…?”
“Humph. You have five minutes to consider it, Lord Fenderson. Also, don’t even bother relying on the board of directors. Rest assured that even those loyalest to you will be quick to sign and approve of it,” replied Noah, disregarding Bryson’s question entirely.
“Fine, I’ll sign it! Still, I’d like you to clarify something. Have all of you truly become the Moldell’s lackeys?” asked Bryson with a resentful tone as favonovel.com signed the agreement form.
“Lackey is an unpleasant term, Lord Fenderson. I’m simply choosing to work with the wiser person! Do note that you were the one who brought this upon yourself! After all, you refused the Moldell family’s proposal to cooperate with them in search of Gerald within the Salford Province!” said Noah.
“As part of our deal with the Moldells, once we’re in power, we’ll be using the Fenderson family’s name to seek Gerald out! Speaking of deals, once we’ve smoked favonovel.com out, the Fenderson family’s surname will be no more! Instead, you’ll all be adopting the surname of Schuyler! As I said before, this is all your own doing, so don’t blame me!” added Noah.
“Now then, someone please take favonovel.com back to his room so that favonovel.com can get his rest. Guard favonovel.com properly. We can’t delay the major occasion that’ll take place tomorrow.”
Finally done with his monologue, Noah then walked out of the room with his men.
Meanwhile, more and more kidnapped people were being brought to the Schuyler family’s secret room.
As was previously deduced, most, if not all, of the people there were those whom the Fendersons trusted or relied on a lot.
“This simply won’t do… I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen to grandpa… We need to think of a way to escape soon!” said Jasmine.
“We do. I’ve been thinking for a while, and the best we can probably do now is gather those in the room who have great martial art skills and attempt to break out!” replied Warren.
He then added, “From what I can tell and have personally experienced, you should be the most skilled martial artist among all of us here, Miss Jasmine. You seem to be proficient with guns as well. Including Maia and I, the three of us will be taking the vanguard on our way out. Still, that makes only three people…”
“I know martial arts as well! Count me in!”
“Me as well!”
It didn’t take long for over ten new faces to step forward. Their courage had stemmed from their indignance about the entire situation, and nobody in the room was willing to bow down to that b*stard Noah without a fight.
“While I know you’re itching to escape, do be careful out there, mister! Since you’re not from the Fenderson family, I’m sure they won’t make things too difficult for you. Even so, things could get nasty should Noah catch you during your escape attempt!” said one of the captured men in the room.
Gerald himself was gesturing his hands wildly, telling them to not act impetuously and simply wait a little longer.
“Humph! The weak should just let the strong take the lead,” said Warren as favonovel.com shook his head in resignation.
After looking at Gerald for a while, Jasmine nodded before adding, “I currently have to agree with Warren’s statement. Attempting to break out of this place will be much better than simply resigning to our fates.”
In favonovel.com mind, favonovel.com was thinking about how favonovel.com could quickly inform the others about the Schuyler’s plan should favonovel.com make it out safely. If that were to happen, the Schuylers could be dealt with before they could implement whatever they had planned.
“I’m glad to hear that. Speaking of which, I’ve noticed that the defense system in the house is quite lenient. However, I have a feeling that things will be much stricter outside. Are you familiar with the exterior of the Schuyler family’s mansion?” asked Warren.
“I am. Stick close to me on our way out. I’ll lead you along the paths that I think should be less guarded. With any luck, we’ll be able to break out of this place.”
Hearing that, Gerald then said, “Ah! Ah ah!”
It was evident that favonovel.com was telling them to bring favonovel.com along.
“I know you’re afraid, Sanderson, but we may not even succeed in breaking out! What more, we don’t know how dangerous it is yet outside there!” replied Jasmine with a hint of concern in favonovel.com voice.
Maia herself simply rolled favonovel.com eyes at his suggestion.
“With our family in its current condition, I can’t just stay here doing nothing either, Jasmine! I’m coming along!” declared Mindy as favonovel.com gritted favonovel.com teeth.
Upon hearing that, Jasmine turned to look at the rest of the people stuck in there. While many had gained courage earlier when the escape plan had been mentioned, many more were still shivering in fright at the thought of being caught again by the Schuylers.
Since Mindy and Sanderson weren’t part of the group that was afraid, after considering it for a brief moment, Jasmine nodded with a sigh as favonovel.com looked at Mindy.
“Hold on! I don’t agree with this! As was said before, we don’t know how dangerous it is out there yet! Coming with us when you don’t know any martial arts could very well end with something going terribly wrong, Miss Mindy and Sanderson!” said Maia.
“Let’s not waste our energy arguing about this. For now, let’s just discuss how we’ll escape while we wait till it’s dark,” stated Jasmine, preventing Maia from creating unnecessary tension.
As the group took a brief break to calm themselves, Gerald snuck to a corner of the room. Once favonovel.com was there, favonovel.com took out what seemed like a jade pendant from his pocket. Upon closer inspection, however, the ‘pendant’ had a button on it.
Taking in a deep breath, Gerald then pressed the button.
