“This time, it might not be possible!”

The bandit leader with the felt hat frowned. “They’ve got serious protection

now, and not just one expert. If we go head–to–head, we might lose. Better to

live to fight another day. Once these experts leave, we can strike the next

convoy.”

Though the henchmen felt disappointed, they knew all too well the dangers

of their line of work. One wrong move and it could be the end of the road for

them. So, despite the missed opportunity, they agreed with their leader’s

cautious decision.

Down at the base of the mountain, Rhett quickly leaped back into the vehicle,

leaving Anthony and the others in awe.

They had never seen anyone with such agility and skill before.

to hold her ground.

“What’s the situation up ahead, Rhett?” Mackenzie immediately asked.

Rhett leaned in and whispered in her ear, “Your Holiness, there are indeed

bandits in the mountains. I caught two trying to blow up the road, but I took

care of them. From what I can sense, there are at least a few hundred more

hiding in the hills, though they don’t seem eager to make a move.”

Mackenzie’s expression turned serious. She nodded and said, “Thank you for

your hard work, Rhett.”

Rhett simply stood tall behind her, folding his arms as he resumed his watch

like a stone statue.

“Ms. Quillen, what should we do now?” Anthony asked nervously, still shaken

at the thought of bandits.

“It’s fine. Let’s keep moving. No one’s going to rob us,” Mackenzie replied

calmly.
