Chapter 529: 529: It’s too much trouble

“Why can’t I see anyone?” Cindy asked, puzzled.

She didn’t realize it at all.

Victoria Wheeler explained, “Actually, there aren’t any signs along the way for people to recognize. It’s just that having spent a long time in the Zhekova house, I’ve seen enough and can recognize the unique formations belonging to the Zhekova family.”

“As far as I can see, there’s no one who matches Harrison’s description,” Victoria said.

“Dad, Mum, don’t be nervous,” Adrian Zhekova quickly explained, “Nobody is attacking us.”

Adrian Zhekova then briefly told them why Joshua Clarke and Christy Xenos came looking for Cindy.

“Cindy believes that we currently have insufficient information on them, so she can’t meet them yet. Once we have control of the situation, then seeing them won’t be too late. So until then, I must ensure that Joshua Clarke and Christy Xenos can’t get close to Cindy,” Adrian Zhekova explained.

“So you charged up such a large formation?” Maverick Zhekova’s eyes widened.

It was just a move against Cindy’s parents.

Two ordinary common people.

Not only did Zhekova’s bodyguards all activate without saying anything, they also made use of the anti-sniper formation.

Could Cindy’s parents even make a sniper shot or fly?

Cindy didn’t even know, that Adrian Zhekova actually activated such a large formation.

He had even planned to mobilize the staff of the Lanarn Training Ground earlier, but thankfully she was able to persuade him not to.

Cindy really thought it was normal, just assigning one or two bodyguards at each door would be enough.

She didn’t see anyone on the way there, so she thought it was low-key.

Who knew they all hid, taking on the highest rank form directly!

Cindy herself felt embarrassed and blush.

She can’t blame Adrian Zhekova for this.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Adrian Zhekova did all this for her, just to ensure everything was foolproof.

Cindy just felt very ashamed and embarrassed.

Such a large formation was used just because of her.

It was such a waste of manpower.

If the elders were discontent because of this, it would be understandable.

Cindy lowered her head deeply.

Maverick Zhekova sighed in relief: “Thank goodness, as long as there’s no threat of attack.”

Maverick Zhekova turned his head, saw that the two elders and Morgan Zhekova haven’t come out from the car yet, knew that they were still cautious and worried, so he quickly called Grandfather.

The Grandfather was relieved that it was a false alarm, and cursed before getting out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, Old Madam scolded him: “Be mindful of your language in front of Morgan!”

Grandfather was surprised, then he remembered.

Because there were no children in the house before, he wasn’t careful.

Now that there’s a child in the house, Grandfather hasn’t yet developed the habit of watching his language.

Old Madam scolded him, and Grandfather immediately said with a “Tsk tsk!” and bent over to speak to Morgan: “Grandpa said something wrong just now, you forget it quickly.”

Morgan thought to herself that she was so clever, and that she would remember it as soon as she heard it, it’s impossible to forget.

But, seeing Grandfather so nervous, Morgan obediently nodded: “I won’t remember!”

“Good.” Grandfather kissed Morgan.

The two elders then took Morgan together to join Adrian Zhekova.

In front of the two elders, Cindy felt even more embarrassed.

Adrian Zhekova briefly told the two elders about it again: “Cindy has a competition, so there will be no time to talk detailed. I’ll explain the detailed situation to you afterwards.”

Old Madam nodded, then gave Adrian Zhekova a glare: “Can’t you see how embarrassed Cindy is! Cindy must be blaming herself!”

When she turned to Cindy, her tone softened again: “Cindy, don’t overthink. This is Adrian’s idea. And, he did it in order to ensure nothing goes wrong and not to overlook because of underestimating the enemy.”

“If we guaranteed that we could do it, but we let Joshua Clarke and Christy Xenos break through, then that would be really bad,” Old Madam said with a smile, “And, it will disrupt your plans and affect your competition and many other things.”

Old Madam had a clear mind.

“Right.” Grandfather nodded.

Adrian Zhekova felt that Grandfather missed out a sentence.

Old Madam was right.

“That’s right.” Victoria also said, “Besides, there hasn’t been anyone who dared to provoke the Zhekova family for many years. The many bodyguards trained in the family didn’t have the chance to exercise, they must be feeling frustrated. Now it just so happens that there’s this opportunity, they were pulled out to flex their muscles.”

Cindy: “…”

They wanted to use Joshua Clarke and Christy Xenos to flex their muscles.

Fortunately, they don’t know.

Otherwise, if they found out, they wouldn’t know how they would feel.

“Correct.” Maverick Zhekova nodded, “Your mum is right.”

Adrian Zhekova finally took a relieved breath.

They should have said that sentence to complete it.

The two elders and Maverick and his wife were all afraid that Cindy would feel pressured and embarrassed, so they incessantly comforted her.

They tried their best to tell her that she really didn’t need to care.

The scolding they just did was all directed at Adrian Zhekova, and it had nothing to do with Cindy.

And also, for his wife, even if the formation was a bit larger and more manpower was expended, it should be like this!

If they can’t handle their wife’s affairs properly, then they wouldn’t even have the face to see anyone, okay?

“And also, we’ve been educating Adrian since he was young that he should use all his strength even when hunting a rabbit. No matter how weak the enemy is, don’t underestimate the enemy. You have to win completely. Because if you lose due to being complacent, it’s not only unjust but also frustrating, and in the end, you can only blame yourself.”

In the end, Cindy was almost dizzied by their words, and she almost forgot why she felt embarrassed in the first place.

With a confused face, they sent her off at the entrance of the racecourse.

Once Cindy was gone, the faces of the four people facing Adrian Zhekova immediately changed.

It’s not as gentle as before when they were facing Cindy.

“Look at you, you didn’t even give us a heads up, scared us so much.” Maverick Zhekova complained, “It’s okay if we just had a false alarm, letting Cindy misunderstand that we were blaming her, that’s really bad!”

“Look, just now Cindy couldn’t even lift up her head in front of us.” Maverick Zhekova complained about how unreliable Adrian Zhekova was.

Adrian Zhekova deeply realized his mistake and quickly apologized to the two elders and to Maverick and his wife.

“I was negligent this time,” Adrian Zhekova said.

“Tell us in detail,” Old Madam said, “How did Joshua Clarke and Christy Xenos find you?”

“Let’s get on the car and talk about it.” There’s still a long way to go before the competition starts.

This competition didn’t know what form it would start in.

The previous two races only required the participants to arrive one and a half hours in advance.

But today, they required participants to reach the venue four hours in advance.

Now that they’re here together, but they still had to wait for more than four hours before the competition starts.

Now, even if they go into the racecourse, they wouldn’t have anything to do.

Adrian Zhekova wanted to accompany Cindy backstage, but circumstances didn’t permit it.

There’s a café in the racecourse.
