The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 659

"Don't worry. If they have the nerve to show up again, I'll send them packing one more time!" Tom declared.

"Tom, you don't know anything about the Jessops! It's said that they have a lot of powerful martial arts experts, and it's very likely that they have access to guns, too!

"I know you're a good fighter, but no matter how strong you are, the bullets will still harm you!" Sherry said.

Tom frowned. While he was a good fighter, he couldn't do anything when guns were involved. After all, he was made of flesh and bone.

He would have to become far more powerful before he could claim he wasn't worried about a gunfight.

"What should we do now, then, Madam Lynch?" Tom asked.

He dared not take things too lightly anymore. If the enemy came bearing guns, he couldn't do a thing against them.

"You need to hurry up and leave Churron. That's the only option," Sherry said.

"Miranda and I are perfectly willing to leave if they come after us, but what about you two, Madam Lynch? Surely, they'll come after you guys, too. It's best if we all leave Churron together," Tom suggested.

"I don't mind leaving, but what about Cece? She's in her senior year. It's a crucial time for her," Sherry said.

Cecilia was finishing up her last year in high school, so Sherry didn't want anything to jeopardize Cecilia's academics.

"Staying alive is more important, Madam Lynch. I know some people in Southlake City. We can get Cecilia enrolled in a new school," Tom said.

Sherry was still hesitant.

"Let's just do as Tom says, Mom. We can leave Churron first and come back once the matter blows over. If not, we can always settle down in Southlake City, too," Cecilia urged.

"Alright. Let's pack up and leave right away!" Sherry agreed. She knew things would only get more dangerous if they waited any longer, so she decided to leave with Tom and Miranda.

"Don't worry, Madam Lynch. Once we get to Southlake City, I'll arrange a house for you, and we'll ask Willow for help to find Cecilia a school," Miranda said.

"Willow? Who's that?" Sherry asked.

"She's my boss, the CEO of Southlake Corporation," Miranda explained.

"We don't have time to chat. Quick, let's pack our things and leave," Tom urged.

"Okay!" Sherry nodded.

The four of them quickly packed their belongings.

Tom and Miranda didn't have much, so they were done in next to no time.

Sherry and Cecilia had little that was important to them, too, so they only packed some clothes.

By the time they finished packing up, it was 2:00 am, and they wanted to leave Churron at once.

Unfortunately, there was no way out of Churron in the middle of the night, so they decided to spend the night at the station first.

They figured it would be safer for them at the station, and they could catch the earliest bus to Southlake City in the morning.

…

Meanwhile, at the abandoned factory north of the city, the surgeon the Jessops hired was getting impatient.

"It's 2:00 am, Mr. Jessop. Where's the donor? When are you bringing him over?" Kent Vega asked in annoyance.

Fergus had offered him over a million dollars to do the surgery.

"Please wait a little longer, Mr. Vega. They should be here soon," Fergus said a little sheepishly.
