Chapter 352 The Earth in Action
"I made plans with Ralph to go for a drink with Oscar, so I can't stay here and chat with you for now," Antony politely stated.
But Bazel was unwilling to agree and immediately put on a fake smile.
"Boss Jones, isn't it customary to respect the order of arrival? I haven't finished discussing business yet," he said.
"Then let Oscar decide for himself!" Antony smiled.
"Anthony, this isn't following the rules!" Bazel's expression turned cold, realizing that they were deliberately opposing him.
Ralph, who was standing beside him, also spoke up.
"I suggest you let Oscar decide for himself; it wouldn't be good for anyone otherwise."
Seeing Ralph speaking up as well, Bazel didn't dare to be too insolent. Both families were part of the five major Long Island families, and adding Antony to the equation, the Denckman family was no match for them. Bazel then said in a low voice,
"Alright, then let Oscar decide for himself! Oscar, later you stay and discuss the marriage between our families with me. I'll give you a dowry of one billion dollars. What do you think?"
This was a blatant temptation, but the credibility of such a promise was questionable.
Antony, unwilling to back down, reminded them,
"Oscar, I overheard Bazel threatening to break your legs earlier. No matter how enticing the offer may be, it's useless without your lives."
"Anthony, aren't you being impolite?" Bazel's tone carried a hint of coldness.
"So are you." Boss Jones responded calmly.
Oscar looked at Bazel, then turned to Antony and Ralph. Although he didn't understand why these two important figures suddenly paid a visit, he knew that today, only by following them could they ensure their safety.
With this in mind, Oscar spoke up.
"Bazel, let's discuss the marriage between our families another day. Today, I'll go with Boss Jones and Mr. Sullivan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bazel's face turned ugly. He didn't want to let Oscar go, but he couldn't ignore the alliance of Antony and Ralph.
"Oscar, you're something." Bazel had a thought in his mind. Today, he couldn't keep Oscar with him, and he could only rely on the force behind Oscar to help him out.
The Earth acted quickly, sending a message to their contact, Fennis, providing a concise report of the situation. Soon, the leader of The Earth responded, saying, "Let them go, we'll take care of it later." Bazel breathed a sigh of relief upon reading the message. If The Earth had agreed, there was no need for him to risk keeping Oscar against his will.
"Bazel, since Oscar has agreed to come with us, I hope you won't cause any trouble for us," Boss Jones tentatively asked. In truth, regardless of Bazel's answer, Antony had already decided to take Oscar with them. After all, Michelle had instructed them to do so. If Michelle were to become Mrs. Brown in the future, they couldn't afford to offend her.
"Alright, let's go!" Bazel decided not to engage with The Earth any further after receiving the news of their release. He quickly led his men away from the villa.
Upon Bazel's departure, Oscar turned to the two important figures with curiosity and asked, "Boss Jones, Mr. Sullivan, why did you come to save me?"
Oscar was filled with doubt. He didn't even know Antony and Ralph, so why did they coincidentally visit him together, especially when Bazel had been pressuring him?
"For now, let's put that aside. Your daughter is waiting on Euler Hill, go reunite with her," Antony didn't waste any time and urged Oscar to escape.
"My daughter asked you to come save me?" Oscar couldn't believe it.
"Stop talking and you'll understand once we get there," Ralph prompted from the side.
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say," Oscar was at a loss and quickly called Linda out of the room.
"Pack your things, we need to hide on Euler Hill for a while!" Linda was already terrified and didn't hesitate to pack their belongings.
Half an hour later, the couple finished packing and hurriedly left the house under the personal escort of Antony and Ralph. They drove towards Euler Hill.
However, a small unmanned drone was watching their convoy from the sky, tracking their route towards Euler Hill.
It was one of The Earth's reconnaissance drones, a specialized machine only used by them. Fennis, along with some capable members of The Earth, was in another car, following a different route towards Euler Hill. Antony and his group were unaware that they were being tracked.
And this is The Earth's way of ensuring that they wouldn't let Oscar go easily.
The strength of The Earth lies in their expertise in tracking others, which naturally extends to counter-surveillance. Therefore, they take a different approach, while drones in the sky keep a constant eye on them.
At the foot of Euler Hill, the tourist attractions here have temporarily closed down, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter, including Antony and Ralph.
"What should we do? We can't get in here," Antony expressed his frustration from behind the iron gate. It was his first visit to Euler Hill, so he wondered why it was completely shut down.
"Euler Hill is owned by the Ocean Guild, and it has never been closed down before. The fact that it looks like they are preparing for a major threat indicates that the Ocean Guild is facing unprecedented difficulties," Ralph speculated, considering his knowledge of the organization.
"Ocean Guild? The organization famous for trading information domestically?" Antony seemed to have some knowledge about it too.
"Yes, the Ocean Guild usually remains neutral and detached from the world. I've heard that they have over thirty grandmasters, and they are quite renowned in the martial arts community," Ralph explained calmly.
"What should we do then? Miss Wilson told us to take the Oscar couple up the mountain," Antony furrowed his eyebrows, feeling uncertain about how to proceed.
Just as they were at a loss, a middle-aged man in a gray robe suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Are you the Oscar couple?" the middle-aged man in the gray robe glanced at them and asked.
"We are," Oscar stepped forward and replied.
"Follow me, no one else can come in," as soon as he said that, a portion of the gate leading to Euler Hill opened.
"Thank you, Boss Jones, Mr. Sullivan. We'll surely express our gratitude once we are safe," Oscar said before entering directly.
Antony and Ralph remained outside, while the unmanned aerial vehicle flew into Euler Hill's airspace once the Oscar couple went inside.
Fennis, the leader of The Earth, got out of the car and turned to his assistant, who was operating the drone, and asked, "Did you see which peak the Oscar couple went up?"
"They went up the second peak, but they did not enter the Ocean Guild," the assistant quickly replied.
"Well, since they didn't go into the Ocean Guild, we can save some effort. Start the search," Fennis said coldly.
