Ice and Fire novel Chapter 262

When Jackson heard his words, the expression on his face immediately changed. He thought, 'Why didn't anyone tell me about such an important matter? If I had known about it in time, I would have wiped out the ZM Group when it was still weak, but now it's ranked second in the city, and I have no way to easily deal with it anymore! Because it's already recognized by the public, and has now become a competitive rival of the JS Group, it's impossible for me to secretly wipe it out anymore!'

Bobby looked at Jackson, and said, "Mr. Jackson, Mond Xu's purpose is very obvious. He's challenging you, and the JS Group."

But Jackson didn't reply to him, and only stared blankly ahead.

"It seems that he'll eventually emerge from the shadow and fight against us, " said Derek.

"Bobby, " suddenly said Jackson.

"I'm listening, Mr. Jackson, " quickly replied Bobby, because he knew that Jackson was about to give him an order.

"Send two security guards to protect Joe, but tell them to be discreet, to never alarm Joe of their existence, " commanded Jackson.

"Got it!" replied Bobby.

When Derek heard Jackson's words, he was confused, and asked, "Why do you have to protect Joe? Will he be in danger?"

Jackson didn't turn around to face him, and replied, "Several days earlier, I saw Mond next to Joe's school gate."

When Derek heard that, he was immediately taken aback. He glanced at Bobby, and then said, "Is Mond planning to hurt Joe?"

"I'm not sure, but one thing that I know is that he's very cruel. If he wants to root out someone, he'll do it by hook or by crook, without worrying about any of the consequences that follow, " firmly said Jackson. Although he didn't know Mond well, it was clear to him about what kind of man he was.

Derek understood what Jackson meant; he nodded, and said, "Yes, you're right, you should protect Joe. If Mond gets his shot, we can't even imagine what he would do to Joe."

Bobby didn't understand all of their words, but when he saw their worried faces, he firmly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Derek. I'll send someone to protect Joe well."

Derek then thought for a while, and said, "I've analysed the present situation, and I think that Jean is on Mond's side now."

After that he looked at Jackson, and thought, 'Since Mond has reappeared, Jackson and I should make up our minds how to deal with all of these things that relate to the past.'

"They're surely together, but I think that you've missed one person, " replied Jackson.

Derek stared at him, and with conviction in his voice, said, "Sally!"
