Chapter 101 Endless Coercion
It was the voice of a middle-aged man. His voice was deep with a hint of authority. He was calm as he said, “Mr. Lawson, I hope you will arrive at Ms. McDaniels’ coffee house in twenty minutes. You will bear the consequences if you are even a second late.”
The call ended as soon as he finished speaking. Jonathan paled at the man’s words. He had a bad feeling that something big had happened.
This man has Polly in his hands! But how? How did someone like Polly, who is stronger than me, fall into his clutches? Since he easily took her as a hostage, I have no choice but to head there myself. Isn’t this action of his targeted toward me?
Jonathan’s thoughts were all over the place. Suddenly, he thought of Strikezone Martial Arts.
Only Strikezone Martial Arts have the guts to do something like this. If I go there, won’t the odds be against me?
“What’s wrong?” Jessica and Yasmin were shocked at Jonathan’s expression. To them, Jonathan was a person who would remain calm and collected in the face of chaos. They had a bad feeling after seeing Jonathan’s response to the phone call.
“It’s nothing!” Jonathan quickly stood up and said, “I’m heading out for a bit.”
With that said, he rushed out of the cafeteria and left the company. He got on the BMW and drove toward the coffee house.
At the same time, he quickly mapped out a plan in his mind. He took out his phone and called Amber.
The call got through quickly.
It was obvious that Amber did not know what was happening. She chuckled as she answered the phone. “Hey, what’s up? Why are you calling me all of a sudden? This is so rare!”
“Amber, something happened. Strikezone Martial Arts sent an opponent that I can’t go up against. He has Polly in his hands and he wants me to be at the coffee house in twenty minutes. I need you to gather the chief officer, the chief, and any high-ranking officers and meet me there as soon as possible.”
Amber could hear the panic in Jonathan’s voice. She knew he was rarely serious. To her, he was someone that would still smile like an idiot even with a knife against his throat. If he’s this nervous, then this must be quite an issue! Amber dared not waste more time and quickly replied, “All right. I’ll get to it.”
Amber would not turn her back on Jonathan, and she was more than willing to help him as much as she could.
Jonathan ran through several red lights. In twenty minutes, he reached the coffee house.
The sun was shining brightly. Nothing seemed to be out of place at the coffee house. Jonathan got out of his car and stood outside the coffee house. He used his senses and tried to sense for danger, but there was none.
Jonathan felt more nervous as the time passed. His opponent’s cultivation was at an unbelievably high level. That was the reason he could not sense any danger.
Without wasting any time, he walked into the coffee house.
