Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 420 The scarred man knew he was cornered . Jackie's crew outnumbered his , and their weapons were deadlier by far if a fight broke out , the Black Cougars wouldn't stand a chance . " We're leaving ! " the scarred man barked , leading his men as they stormed off . Then , to everyone's astonishment , Jackie dropped to one knee before me . " I'm sorry I arrived late , Mr. Grimwald ! This nearly turned into a disaster . Please accept my apologies ! " Honestly , I didn't think things had gone that bad . " Come on , man . You showed up right on time .

Nothing happened to us because you got here when you did . Still ... how did you know I was here ? " I asked . Beauclab and Beaushire weren't exactly next door . It would take at least an hour to travel between the town and the city , even at top speed . I hadn't even been here that long myself . So , how did he know ? " I've been keeping an eye on your parents since you left town , sir , " he said . " That's how I learned about your business ties in Beaushire . Your partners are technically my partners too . When I heard you were in trouble , I knew I had to step in .

I had enough men to spare anyway . " Taylor and Wayne were speechless . They'd chosen well by siding with Sebastian . Who would have guessed a man this young commanded the loyalty of an underworld gang ? " Thanks , Jackie . You really helped us out , " I said . " It's nothing , sir , " Jackie said . " I've heard about how my sister's doing in Astergrad . You risked making an enemy of one of the Astergrad Four just for her . That's more than I could ever repay .

" He hesitated , then added , " If you don't mind where we come from , I could assign some of my men as security for your delivery crews . " Jackie's gratitude ran deep . To him , helping me was a way to repay the debt of saving his sister . " Alright ! I'll pay them top rates , in line with industry standards , " I said with a grin . " You've really solved one of my biggest problems , Jackie . " I trusted the Dragoons and their efficiency . Knowing they'd handle my deliveries gave me a sense of security . Still , one concern lingered . " What about the Black Cougars ? " I asked .

The Dragoons were a big name in small - town Beauclab , but Beaushire was a different playing field . Could they really stand against a city gang ? " Don't worry , sir , " Jackie said confidently . " I meant it when I said we're expanding into Beaushire . This standoff gave us the perfect chance to make that announcement . Thank you , Mr. Grimwald ! " " You're welcome , " I said , half - distracted . I didn't care much about the gang's future . As long as they thrived , I'd benefit too .

With the matter settled , I said my goodbyes and headed back to Astergrad , following behind the delivery truck . This was our first batch of product , and we still needed qualified workers to inspect and test the drugs through the night . 1/2 +25 Bonus I directed the driver to stop by the hospital , then began assigning my nightshift staff to run quality checks on the medicines .
