The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power

Chapter 727 You're Too Late

He quickly gave the order for the road from Twinfield County to Cleapolis to be blocked and checked without even the slightest moment of hesitation.

All nearby transport departments acted after receiving a personal order from Minister Hansen.

It took them only about 5 minutes to unblock and clear the entire highway entrance, making it likely their most effective operation to date.

On both sides of the highway entrance, dozens of police vehicles and more than twenty traffic police motorcycles were neatly parked.

The intersection was surrounded by barriers that were set up by numerous traffic police wearing fluorescent yellow vests, who carefully inspected each vehicle.

Even though there weren't many cars on this highway, this operation still resulted in a backup.

Initially, the drivers were irate, sticking out their heads and honking wildly.

However, they all fell silent when they noticed the police cars parked along the side of the road.

At the same time, Kingsley, who was at Jade Hotel, also dialed Kenny's phone and asked, "General Shane, where are you guys?"

Kenny replied, "Boss Nicholson, we're already on the highway. We'll be there in about twenty minutes!"

"Get off the highway!" Kingsley ordered directly.

"Take the exit, the closest one from Twinfield County to Cleapolis. Also, I'll send you a license plate number later. You're in charge of rescuing the woman in the car!"

Despite being perplexed by what he had heard, Kenny said, "Yes, Boss Nicholson. Don't worry. We'll complete the mission."

After thinking for a moment, Kingsley instructed, "After rescuing the woman, keep an eye on everyone else in the car. There are other hostages in their hands."

"Gotcha," Kenny responded and immediately instructed the driver, "Get off the highway!"

Kingsley put his phone in his pocket as he exited the private room, calculating that it was almost time.

At the entrance, a waiter holding a menu was trembling as he looked at Kingsley, not daring to say a word.

The waiter was just about to knock on the door and ask if Kingsley was ready to order.

However, he overheard Kingsley inside discussing hostages, escapees, and people in need of rescue.

He didn't hear it clearly, so he assumed Kingsley was an inmate who had just escaped and taken hostages.

As he gave it more thought, he became more confident that his assumption was accurate.

After all, nobody in their right mind would visit a restaurant to reserve a private room for breakfast on a weekday. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Just as the waiter was feeling anxious, Kingsley opened the door and walked out, his face extremely stern.

The waiter was so shaken by fear that he nearly peed himself as he stood motionless.

"Is the person who booked the private room still in this hotel?" Kingsley asked calmly after giving him a quick glance.

"N-no, they're not." the waiter stammered.

"They didn't say anything else other than that a man with the last name Nicholson would arrive. They reserved the table, then they left—"

Kingsley nodded and left the Jade Hotel without a second thought.

The intention of Horace and the others was to distract him from Shannon's bodyguards and stop him from intervening.

But now that Shannon was in the car on her way to the Timothy Residence, they didn't have to worry about Kingsley.

Even if he left Jade Hotel now, he wouldn't be able to catch up to the car holding Shannon.

And of course, Horace wouldn't harm Cayden just because he left.

Sure enough, not long after Kingsley walked out of the hotel's entrance, two bodyguards in suits snuck over from a nearby corner.

They stood five meters away, looking at Kingsley warily.

"Miss Shannon is already on the road now, so there's no way for you to save her anymore. You're too late!" one of the bodyguards said.

Kingsley nodded. "I know, and that's why I waited until now to come out."

The two bodyguards exchanged glances.

"Don't even think about saving that child now. Only when Miss Shannon arrives home will Mr. Stewart release him."
