Chapter 280 Escape from Danger!
This grand scene made Sawyer's eyes widen in shock.
What on earth was happening?
Where did these helicopters come from?
Moreover, why did his legs weaken at the sight of them?
On the other hand, Ryder also had no idea where these helicopters came from.
One of them slowly descended, finally landing on a flat surface not far away!
The side door of the helicopter opened, and a group of people in combat uniforms with black hoods emerged.
There were about seven or eight of them, and they were all rushing out while armed!
Each one exuded a powerful aura that could only be honed through countless battles.
"Don't move! Get down!"
With these shouts, Sawyer and the others quickly lay on the ground, trembling and bewildered.
Judging by their equipment and demeanor, these people seemed to be well-trained soldiers; not someone third-rate like them could contend with!
At this moment, an elderly man quickly walked down from the helicopter! He hurried over, his face worried and urgent as he bowed to Ryder and said, "Young Master, I apologize for being late and causing you distress!"
The person who came was Scott!
Two soldiers helped Ryder and Barbara up.
Seeing it was Scott, Ryder looked surprised and said, "Why are you back? Weren't you abroad?"
Scott glanced at the injured Barbara and then at Sawyer and the others on the ground.
He said to Ryder, "Young Master, I will explain everything to you later. For now, please get on the helicopter with your friend. I've brought a doctor who can provide emergency treatment!"
"Okay." Ryder nodded in agreement and then, with the soldiers' help, got on the helicopter.
He didn't look back.
As for Sawyer and the others lying on the ground, they were confused.
They didn't even blink!
Houston's richest man, Scott, actually called Ryder as young master?
Moreover, it seemed Scott specifically used military personnel to rescue him.
Could someone tell them what was happening?
How powerful and influential was Ryder really?
Of course, behind their confusion, they also realized that they were doomed this time.
Even if they invited God himself, they couldn't be saved.
At eleven o'clock at night. in a private residence in Houston.
Very few people knew this was Scott's residence.
In the study, only Ryder and Scott sat facing each other.
After returning from the forest by helicopter, Ryder came here with Scott.
On the other hand, Barbara was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment.
According to the news from a few minutes ago, she had completed the surgery and the arrow was removed.
She wasn't in any life-threatening condition, but needed to rest in the hospital for a while.
On the other hand, Ryder also learned a lot from Scott.
It turned out that on the day he disappeared, Scott, who was abroad, got the news.
Moreover, he realized that Ryder might be in big trouble!
Thus, Scott immediately rushed back from abroad and used his influence to search for Ryder.
Fortunately, he saved Ryder at a critical moment.
Ryder asked worriedly, "Ava doesn't know about this, right?"
Scott nodded. "I lied to Ava, telling her that I returned to the country for company matters."
Ryder sighed in relief. "That's good; otherwise, she'd be very worried!"
After that, Ryder thought of something and asked, "Are those who just rescued me soldiers?"
"You could assume that, but compared to ordinary soldiers, they're more mysterious and formidable."
Ryder nodded. "I can see that. I'm just curious how you managed to mobilize them. After all, it's not just about having money!"
Scott smiled kindly. "Young Master, you are indeed smart. Yes, they weren't hired with money; it was through a certain connection that this was possible. Furthermore, the one who established this connection was your father. I'm just a messenger."
Ryder was taken aback, somewhat surprised. "My dad?"
Scott nodded, his eyes reflecting nostalgia and admiration. "The Master's network and influence are unfathomable. Although I've been by his side for many years, I only know a part of it. To be honest, Young Master, before he left, he mentioned that as you grow and become stronger, you will one day inherit these connections and networks. For now, the time isn't yet right."
Hearing this, Ryder took a deep breath, staring into his reflection in the cup on the table while lost in thought.
The more he thought about John, the more mysterious he was.
If John was so powerful and capable, why did he become a live-in son-in-law of the Jones family in the capital city back then? Why was he expelled from them? And why did he keep a low profile in front of him?
Ryder couldn't figure it out!
It seemed that only when he was stronger and stood at a higher position would he be qualified to understand.
At this moment, Scott took out a stack of documents, placing them on the table and saying, "Young Master, these are the major developments in the Houston construction materials and real estate markets during the days you were missing. I have compiled all the information and intelligence I could gather for you to review."
"Okay!"
Ryder took the documents and began to read them carefully.
In fact, he had been worried about Houston's situation for the past two days, but he couldn't do anythinng without his phone.
Twenty minutes later, Ryder finished reading the documents and placed them on the table.
He frowned slightly. "I didn't expect Sandra to be so ruthless. If this continues, Maple Real Estate and SR Group are bound to fail, while the Johnson family and Phoenix Group will win!"
Scott smiled and said, "Young Master, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Maple Real Estate is just a practice enterprise for you; Even if you lose it, it won't harm the entire group's industrial chain! So, taking a step back now is fine."
Hearing this, Ryder smiled confidently as he gently shook his head. "When I had the courage to inherit my father's legacy, the word retreat was never in my dictionary. Since the Johnsons and Phoenix Group have joined forces and made such a big move, wouldn't it be a shame if I didn't give them a run for their money and let Houston's people down?"
Seeing his confident expression, Scott was stunned for a moment.
In a daze, he seemed to see John's shadow in Ryder!
His eyes reddened with emotion, nodding excitedly. "Alright. Young Master, you go ahead and do what you need to do. No matter the consequences, I'llhandle it for you!"
"Thank you!" Ryder said with a smile.
Scott lowered his voice slightly and asked, "Young Master, how should we deal with the group that kidnapped you?"
Ryder sighed, "Handle it as you see fit."
Scott's eyes flashed coldly as he respectfully replied, "Understood!"
