The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1300

Avery, on the other hand, didn’t sense anything wrong.

“No need to worry, the Jagger family has always been difficult to deal with. They must have taken many precautions. Even if we hide our forces, we can’t avoid the Jagger family’s scrutiny. If they find us, they find us. Ultimately, it’s a test of real strength,” Avery said.

Irwin nodded. “Yes.”

“How much longer until we reach shore?” Avery asked.

“We have about three more hours to go,” Irwin replied.

Avery glanced at his wristwatch. “When the time comes, as the sun rises and the fog clears, we will be completely exposed. It would be best to find the most concealed docking point.”

Irwin understood and nodded.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon, the sun emerged from the horizon. Slowly, it ascended into the sky, dissipating the fog that had shrouded the sea.

The view became clear and expansive. A solitary island in the sea appeared before everyone’s eyes, drawing closer and closer.

Avery gazed at the island, his eyes deep and inscrutable, leaving one to wonder what thoughts were running through his mind.

After sending someone to scout the situation, Irwin confirmed that there were no ambushes. Only then did he lead his group to disembark from the ship.

Several experts surrounded Avery, constantly guarding his safety from all sides.

To reach the inland, they had to pass through a vast, untamed jungle. As Avery stepped into it, he couldn’t shake off a sense of unease.

Irwin noticed a peculiar look on his face and asked, “Mr. Cox, is something wrong? You don’t look well,”

Avery’s brow furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, “Since the family already knew about the

mission assigned by the guild and even launched an attack at sea to prevent us, why didn’t they set up an ambush on the shore? Why did they let us walk into the mainland so easily?”

Irwin also felt that something was off, but he couldn’t quite pinpoint why.

“It does seem suspicious, but our people thoroughly searched the shore and found no signs of anyone present or any indications of an ambush.”

The deeper Avery ventured, the more he felt that something was

“The just sit to their lair. There must be a catch here.”

He gazed at the unfamiliar and mysterious jungle, suddenly realizing something, and his expression instantly darkened.

No sooner had the words been spoken than a sudden commotion erupted in the silent jungle.

Countless people emerged from all directions, brandishing weapons, completely surrounding them!

Each of these individuals was tall and robust, clearly trained in martial arts. All of them wore veils, their eyes fixed on them like predators eyeing their prey.

Avery’s pupils constricted upon seeing a few people in the crowd holding bamboo poles as blowpipes.

“Cover your mouths and noses, try to breathe as little as possible!” he shouted.

Before his words could even fall, he saw the other party put the blowpipe to their lips, blowing out a large amount of white powder in their direction.

The powder floated in the air, advancing toward them, soon spreading all around them.

It was a stupefying drug!

Avery shielded his nose and mouth with his arm, his eyes wide open, staring intently at the person through the haze of powder smoke.

Clearly, the other party came prepared. Without uttering a single word, they charged at them as soon as the dust began to disperse…

Meanwhile, at the Gordon residence, the meatball fell into the bowl with a plop. Neera looked at lan, surprised and anxious. “What did you say? Mr. Cox was ambushed? What happened exactly? And what about Mr. Weaver? How are they?”

After the attack on Wind Chime Island, Neera lost her mood to play and decided to return with the children and Jean.

At that moment, the family was having lunch when lan walked in to

report.

“In fact, Mr. Cox had already experienced an attack at sea. The attackers appeared to be pirates, but Mr. Cox suspected that they were actually people from the Jagger family disguised as pirates. There were no casualties during that attack. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the attackers quickly fled,”

Upon reaching the island, the Jagger family did not set up an ambush along the shore. Instead, they hid in the jungle, which was the only path to the heart of the island. The Jagger family did this to trap them. Not long after the Cox family and their party entered, they were surrounded by the Jagger family’s people. They had already assessed the Cox family’s strength during the sea attack. This time, they came in large numbers and were prepared with a stupefying drug. The Cox family suffered severe casualties. Despite their fierce resistance, they still lost a number of people. If it weren’t for Mr. Cox’s subordinates taking advantage of the chaos to cover his retreat and hiding, I’m afraid Mr. Cox might have also met with misfortune. However, Mrs. Beauvort, rest assured, everyone from the Gordon family is safe, and Mr. Weaver is unharmed.”

Upon hearing the shocking news, Neera was so shocked that she immediately lost her appetite, unable to eat another bite.

Even though Avery and Finnley were fine, she still couldn’t put her mind at ease.

They had barely set foot on the island, and already

With a worried expression, she asked, “What news came from there? Are they going to send more people?”

With a worried expression, she asked, “What news came from there? Are they going to send more people?”

With so many casualties, the situation would be difficult to handle. They needed support.

lan nodded. “Mr. Cox has sent a message back, requesting the Cox family to dispatch another group of people to Adieu Island.”
