Thomas Grant hung up the phone, still a bit confused, but he contacted Wendy Tierney, and the two of them took a helicopter to Westmarch.
Because the Vanguard War Generals of The Keaton Family live and die for The Keaton Family, they must unconditionally obey the orders of the Family Head.
This was the oath they took before the ancestors of The Keaton Family when they initially joined the Vanguard Corps.
Thomas Grant’s skills in piloting a helicopter were quite good, taking less than two hours from Esteria to Westmarch.
At this time, the escort mission was just about to begin.
Everyone participating in this escort mission had already gathered at the side entrance of Rosewell Hospital.
The arrival of Thomas Grant and Wendy Tierney surprised these people.
"Helmsman Grant and Vice Leader?"
Indeed, Thomas Grant and Wendy Tierney were respectively the Commander and Vice Leader of The Keaton Family’s Vanguard Corps.
The Vanguard War Generals had mostly been trained by them, so they immediately recognized the pair and were very excited.
Thomas Grant briefly stated the purpose: "Lord Keaton assigned us to personally participate in the escort."
Despite Thomas Grant stating the reason, those elite warriors continued to discuss among themselves.
"Oh my gosh, Lord Keaton assigned you two? Isn’t this making a mountain out of a molehill?"
"If the escort is for some big shot, it’s understandable to assign both of them. Darren is just a con artist who inadvertently got involved in Ford’s case."
"Yeah, for such a minor figure, even if Ford wants to eliminate him, the person sent shouldn’t be some ultimate big boss, a few of us can handle it. There’s no need to deploy the two aces from the squad."
Several people discussed, all questioning Kyle Keaton’s assignment, also worrying about Wendy Tierney’s safety.
After the previous Vice Leader left, Wendy Tierney was the only woman in the Vanguard Corps.
No matter how good her skills are, the men in the team adhere to the principle of treating girls tenderly, unwilling to let her participate in overly dangerous tasks.
Yet now, Lord Keaton has assigned Wendy Tierney to this mission.
"Those assassins’ knives and bullets aren’t guided by eyesight. What if Wendy gets hurt?"
"Why don’t we call Lord Keaton and ask him to send someone else?"
Amidst this discussion, Wendy Tierney chuckled.
"Lord Keaton’s arrangements are not for you to question. Alright, we’re almost ready to set out, count the people and see who hasn’t arrived yet."
Wendy Tierney was quite attractive, aside from her skin being somewhat tan from years of outdoor training, her facial features were delicate, and her figure was excellent, making her the dream woman of many in the Vanguard War Generals.
So when she spoke, the previous chatter immediately ceased, and everyone began seriously counting the number of people.
Wayne Shelby, the captain of this Vanguard War General squad, quickly finished counting.
"We’re just missing Rosewell Hospital’s director July Quinn and Young Master Owen Shaw for the escort mission."
"The director personally attending the escort?" Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn N0velFire.ɴet
Wendy Tierney was quite surprised.
Normally, it wouldn’t be the director’s turn for such a task.
Unless the director voluntarily requested.
But these days, those accustomed to a life of luxury inevitably prefer to avoid danger.
Wendy Tierney quickly understood why this director was different.
Just as Wayne Shelby finished his report, someone whispered: "They’re coming."
Soon after, footsteps of the two people approached.
Wendy Tierney looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man and a woman walking toward them.
The man was genteel with a touch of nobility, likely from a wealthy family.
Wendy Tierney was taken aback with just one glance at the woman.
She wore a long, goose-yellow floral dress, with small white shoes on her feet, and her long hair swayed with the wind.
Her key feature was her face, naturally beautiful even without makeup, surpassing any woman Wendy Tierney had ever seen who had meticulously dressed up.
She approached against the light, her body seemingly shrouded in a faint halo, like an inherent luminous being, making it impossible to look away.
Especially for this group of Vanguard War Generals who seldom interacted with women, upon seeing July Quinn’s astoundingly breathtaking face, they were collectively stunned, barely able to breathe.
"This is our hospital’s Young Master Owen Shaw, and this is our director Miss July Quinn."
Nearby, Director Wright, who was responsible for liaising with the Vanguard War Generals, made the introductions.
As the introductory sound faded, the entire place plunged into a strange silence...
