Chapter 259: An Unexpected Visitor
Juliet’s expression had only been growing more and more grave as time passed, and it was now so bad that Griselda was starting to get genuinely worried about what was going on! Griselda knew Juliet to be a very composed and calm woman, so seeing her like this told Griselda that whatever was happening had to be very bad!
"Juliet, is everything okay? You don’t look so good."
Griselda finally had to ask, and her question jolted Juliet back to reality. Juliet gave Griselda a strained smile and shook her head while saying that everything was fine, but Griselda wasn’t buying it! Griselda narrowed her eyes at Juliet and stepped close to her, and Juliet immediately hid her phone close to her chest so Griselda couldn’t see what was there! That only served to make Griselda even more worried!
"What in the world are you hiding? What’s going on?"
Juliet felt sweat spread on her face. She knew that she didn’t really have to hide this from Griselda, but this wasn’t something that she could just go around sharing with anyone. There was something big happening in New Jersey right now, and all of the news channels in the world had been kept in the dark, so there was no one reporting on it! Juliet had a friend in the SMD who managed to give her information about it, but she still didn’t know how serious things were because her friend had been offline for almost thirty minutes now. The last message she got from her friend was: Dragons.
Juliet put her hand to her forehead and sighed before she stood and put on a brave face as she said,
"I’m fine, everything’s fine! I mean, why wouldn’t it be fine? Haha! It’s just that I just got some difficult news, and, uhm... yeah. It’s fine."
Griselda obviously didn’t believe her at all, and now even Riyala was starting to look at Juliet curiously as she wondered what was going on! Juliet was about to say something else, but she was cut off when she heard the sound of various cars screeching to a halt outside the building, followed by the unmistakable sound of a helicopter! Juliet’s brow furrowed as she quickly moved toward the window, and her eyes widened in shock when she saw a freaking helicopter landing on the street! What the actual fuck!? There were more than ten cars parked all the way down the street, and they were literally surrounding the house! What in the world was this!?
Bang! Bang!
"Ahhh!"
Griselda let out a cry, and Juliet shook as the house door was suddenly slammed open by a battering ram! The extreme force broke open the door, and the sound of the door falling off its hinges echoed through the house! Various men wearing black suits charged into the building, and Juliet immediately went to stand in front of both Griselda and Riyala protectively as she eyed the strange men! None of the men were carrying rifles or batons, but they had an intense look on their expressionless faces that put all the women on edge!
Behind Juliet, Riyala began to prepare her magic for any form of attack! Neither of the women knew that Riyala was a mage, but Riyala swore that she would defend them if she needed to! She wouldn’t allow what happened to Gina to happen to anyone in front of her ever again! But before any of the women could do anything, Alpha and ten of Jason’s Phantoms suddenly rose from the shadows of the building and surrounded them while holding their daggers in an offensive stance!
The suited men were all shocked to see the Phantoms, and even Riyala and the other girls felt surprised by their appearance! Jason had put the Phantoms there to make sure that Riyala and the other girls were well protected! Jason knew that him not being with Riyala would attract the worst kind of attention, and if it was easy for Juliet to find him in his apartment, then it would be easy for one of the more dangerous organizations to find the apartment as well!
