Chapter 300 I’m Going to Bastilla
George was startled by Kate’s condition, and Hendrick and Linus, having heard her screams, rushed over as well.
Hendrick quickly supported the unsteady Kate, his voice gentle but urgent. Take a deep breath and tell us slowly.”
“What’s wrong,
Kate?
Linus looked tense, deeply worried as he watched Kate. It was the first time he had seen her so anxious and fragile, trembling as if she might collapse at any moment.
“Something happened to Eric …”
Kate managed to find her voice, trembling as she recounted what had happened, tears streaming down her face.
Everyone could easily guess that Eric and his team had likely been ambushed by enemies. Bastilla was notoriously chaotic, and gunfights were common.
This only made it clearer that Eric’s situation was extremely dangerous!
George’s face changed drastically. He quickly dialled a few numbers, and with each answer he received, his expression grew darker.
“How is it?”
Kate asked anxiously, her heart full of dread. She wanted to fly to Bastilla immediately, desperate to know Eric’s condition.
George remained silent for a long moment before speaking in a hoarse voice, “Boss and his team were ambushed on a mountain outside Melvern City. The car went off a cliff. Our people are heading to the site now.”
Clenching his fists tightly, he took a deep breath and added, “Madam, please trust Boss …
“I don’t trust it!”
”
Kate suddenly shouted, her eyes red with tears. Choking on her words, she said, “Eric is missing, maybe even worse… Am I just supposed to sit here and wait for news?”
She couldn’t bear it!
Eric’s fate was still uncertain!
Eric’s trip to Bastilla was already fraught with danger. If she could get in touch with him and know he was safe, it would be different. But now, knowing something had happened to him, how could she just stay at Summer Estate?

Chapter 300 I’m Going to Bastilla
Kate took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. Her eyes were icy cold as she firmly stated her decision.
George opened his mouth to protest, but Kate interrupted, “George, isn’t your job to protect Eric?”
Her
gaze was cold and commanding, making George instinctively hesitate.
Kate was right. His primary duty was to ensure Eric’s safety.
Eric had saved his life, and he owed Eric a debt he could never repay. So he always followed Eric’s orders without question.
He was also deeply worried about Eric and wanted to head to Bastilla immediately, but he was torn because protecting Kate was also Eric’s command.
Kate’s face was eerily calm, her mind unusually clear. She spoke slowly, “Arrange a private plane for us to go to Bastilla immediately.”
Her tone left no room for doubt, and George instinctively responded, “Yes!”
As he turned and walked away to make the arrangements, he realised his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Thinking back to Kate’s demeanour and expression, George felt a chill.
He had underestimated Kate.
The distance between Bastilla and Haldoria wasn’t too far. Given Eric’s special status and the business ties between the two places, there were indeed two private jets capable of transatlantic flights available.
George had the authority to mobilise them.
Hendrick and Linus remained silent throughout, standing by Kate’s side with a clear and resolute attitude.
They were going to Bastilla too!
