Chapter 151


    Naturally, Arthur could not ask Aaron to leave at that moment. The former had fought in numerous


    battles and had seen all kinds of spectacles, so he was not afraid of a youngster like Bianca. Thus, he


    agreed to let them in.


    Though he was not afraid for his own safety, he was concerned about Amber and the other girls'' safety.


    Besides, he was worried he would not notice the tricks Bianca had up her sleeves.


    After all, he knew that it was impossible to guard against an enemy''s every attack.


    Thus, Arthur ordered a security guard to bring Amber and the girls to the house of his neighbor, Steven


    Lyon, from the back door, and only return after Bianca and Aaron had left.


    The guard instantly obeyed, and after ten minutes, all the necessary preparations wereplete.


    Sitting in his courtyard, Arthur soon heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Not wanting to be


    arrogant, he stood up and prepared to wee his guests at the entrance.


    Only one security guard remained in the courtyard, and naturally, he was an expert fighter. Besides,


    there were also other expert fighters hiding around the courtyard.


    The moment Bianca arrived, the secret security system in the house heightened the defense around


    Vipod Residence.


    If she made the slightest wrong move, she would be killed in a sh.


    The power of national defense was not to be underestimated.


    Even Jeremy would not dare to make the wrong move here.


    Previously, countless countries tried to assassinate the retired military officials living at this ce, but


    they were all silently killed by the secret security system. The military officials did not even realize that


    there had been an attempt on their lives.


    Aaron was in his seventies. His hair waspletely white, and that day, he wore a ck suit and held


    a cane in his hand. Beside him, the gorgeous Bianca wore white attire, and she held onto him as they


    walked in.


    The Young family was a rather prominent family in Yaleview. However, as they were not involved in the


    center of the political scene, they were not that influential. Still, as Aaron fought alongside many of the


    retired high-ranking officials, everyone still treated him with respect.


    However, Aaron''s power was iparable to Arthur''s.


    For example, even though Mabel was the chief of the sixth division, she still would need to report to


    Arthur sometimes, but she wouldn''t do so to the Young family. After all, she was not afraid of the Young


    family, so naturally, she would not report anything to them.


    This was the difference between Aaron and Arthur.


    When Aaron came in, Arthur walked over to wee him.


    “Commander Johnson, please forgive me for my abrupt visit!” Aaron said.


    Arthurughed and replied, “Aaron, you''re being too polite.”


    He then gave Aaron a friendly handshake to keep up appearances.


    Being a cultured man, he was respectful and polite even to the street cleaners.


    After they shook hands, Aaron uttered, “Commander Johnson, let me introduce you to my niece,


    Bianca Schmidt. She has always looked up to you. When she heard that I was going to visit you today,


    she requested toe along, and I agreed. Commander Johnson, pardon my rudeness!”


    “Mr. Johnson, nice to meet you!” Bianca greeted politely, looking like a gentle, well-mannereddy.


    Naturally, Arthur could not ask Aaron toava at that momant. Tha formar had fought in numarous


    bats and had saan all kinds of spactas, so ha was not afraid of a youngstar lika Bianca. Thus, ha


    agraad tot tham in.


    Though ha was not afraid for his own safaty, ha was concarnad about Ambar and tha othar girls'' safaty.


    Basidas, ha was worriad ha would not notica tha tricks Bianca had up har avas.


    Aftar all, ha knaw that it was impossi to guard against an anamy''s avary attack.


    Thus, Arthur ordarad a sacurity guard to bring Ambar and tha girls to tha housa of his naighbor, Stavan


    Lyon, from tha back door, and only raturn aftar Bianca and Aaron hadft.


    Tha guard instantly obayad, and aftar tan minutas, all tha nacassary praparations warata.


    Sitting in his courtyard, Arthur soon haard tha sound of footstaps approaching. Not wanting to ba


    arrogant, ha stood up and praparad to waa his guasts at tha antranca.


    Only ona sacurity guard ramainad in tha courtyard, and naturally, ha was an axpart fightar. Basidas,


    thara wara also othar axpart fightars hiding around tha courtyard.


    Tha momant Bianca arrivad, tha sacrat sacurity systam in tha housa haightanad tha dafansa around


    Vipod Rasidanca.


    If sha mada tha slightast wrong mova, sha would ba kid in a sh.


    Tha powar of national dafansa was not to ba undarastimatad.


    Evan Jaramy would not dara to maka tha wrong mova hara.


    Praviously, counss countrias triad to assassinata tha ratirad military officials living at this ca, but


    thay wara all sntly kid by tha sacrat sacurity systam. Tha military officials did not avan raaliza that


    thara had baan an attampt on thair livas.


    Aaron was in his savantias. His hair wastaly whita, and that day, ha wora a ck suit and hald


    a cana in his hand. Basida him, tha gorgaous Bianca wora whita attira, and sha hald onto him as thay


    walkad in.


    Tha Young family was a rathar prominant family in Yviaw. Howavar, as thay wara not involvad in tha


    cantar of tha political scana, thay wara not that influantial. Still, as Aaron fought alongsida many of tha


    ratirad high-ranking officials, avaryona still traatad him with raspact.


    Howavar, Aaron''s powar was ipara to Arthur''s.


    For axam, avan though Mabal was tha chiaf of tha sixth division, sha still would naad to raport to


    Arthur somatimas, but sha wouldn''t do so to tha Young family. Aftar all, sha was not afraid of tha Young


    family, so naturally, sha would not raport anything to tham.


    This was tha diffaranca batwaan Aaron and Arthur.


    Whan Aaron cama in, Arthur walkad ovar to waa him.


    “Commandar Johnson, asa forgiva ma for my abrupt visit!” Aaron said.


    Arthurughad and rapliad, “Aaron, you''ra baing too polita.”


    Ha than gava Aaron a friandly handshaka to kaap up appaarancas.


    Baing a culturad man, ha was raspactful and polita avan to tha straat anars.


    Aftar thay shook hands, Aaron uttarad, “Commandar Johnson,t ma introduca you to my niaca,


    Bianca Schmidt. Sha has always lookad up to you. Whan sha haard that I was going to visit you today,


    sha raquastad toa along, and I agraad. Commandar Johnson, pardon my rudanass!”


    “Mr. Johnson, nica to maat you!” Bianca graatad politaly, looking lika a gan, wall-mannaraddy.


    Smiling, Arthur sized her up as he replied, “Wee! Come on in!” She seems kind and pure, like a


    fairy. Isn''t she a normal girl? Why did Mabel call her a lunatic? I guess I can''t judge her from her


    appearance.


    Still, he did not think much about it and gestured for Aaron and Bianca to enter.


    Everyone then sat down in the living room, and a security guard served tea.


    “Aaron, why don''t you stay for lunch? I''ve already asked them to prepare,” Arthur offered.


    “Sure, thank you,” Aaron replied before saying to Bianca, “Take out the present.”


    Bianca held out the present in her hands and dered, “Mr. Johnson, this is a bottle of wine Uncle


    Aaron treasures. I hope you like it.”


    As she was Leonardo''s maternal grandfather''s daughter, she was Aaron''s distant rtive, but to keep it


    simple, she referred to Aaron as her uncle.


    The guard took the wine and handed it to Arthur.


    ncing at it, Arthur realized the brand was Romanée-Conti. The bottle was exquisite and unopened.


    He was a wine connoisseur, so he knew how priceless the gift was. This is a good gift!


    Besides, drinking wine was his hobby.


    “Aaron, your gift is too expensive.” Arthur exhaled, unable to remain calm anymore.


    A smile appeared on Aaron''s face as he replied, “Commander Johnson, only you can match up to this


    wine. It will be a waste if I drink it. Only you know how to appreciate it!”


    “Then, I can''t refuse your kind gift.”


    Aaron smiled once again in response.


    After ordering his guard to keep the wine, Arthur turned to Aaron and asked, “Aaron, I believe you''re


    not just here to give me a bottle of wine. Am I right?”


    Sighing, Aaron replied, “Commander Johnson, I''m not here for anything. I''ve reached such an old age,


    and my grandson is not around anymore. There''s nothing to fight for or care about anymore.” He then


    paused, stood up, and stared at the scenery outside. “Commander Johnson, the roses are blooming


    beautifully,” he remarked before walking outside to look at the flowers.


    After Aaron looked at the roses, he yed chess with Arthur. Soon, it was lunchtime. Arthur, Aaron,


    and Bianca ate lunch together.


    When Aaron and Bianca left after lunch, Arthur bade them farewell.


    The instant the two left, Arthur ordered the guard to burn the wine Aaron gave.


    Surprised, the guard asked, “Commander Johnson, do you mean there''s poison in the wine?”


    “I don''t think Aaron is stupid enough to poison it. However, I underestimated him. He came and gave


    me a present for no reason, but I can tell he''s insane underneath his calm exterior. It seems like he


    believes I am an aplice in killing his grandson,” Arthur dered grimly.


    The guard was still confused, as he could not tell if there was something wrong with Aaron.


    On the other hand, the sly and experienced Arthur knew that Aaron was not here to simply give him a


    present.


    It''s weird that he did not make any requests. Something must be wrong. What''s his true reason for


    coming?


    He would not feel assured if he did not have the answer, so he soon asked the guard to contact the


    secret security system.


    The guard then passed the phone to Arthur after the call went through.


    “Commander Johnson!” a respectful male voice sounded from the other end.


    “Louie, Aaron came just now. His behavior makes me feel uneasy. I think that old man is crazy. It


    seems like he is throwing away his family''s future in order to get revenge for his grandson. Send


    someone to my home and check if they tampered with anything,” Arthur ordered solemnly.


    “Yes, Commander Johnson!”


    After hanging up, Arthur decided to visit Amber and the girls to feel reassured.


    The secret security system also started checking, and half an hourter, the people of the secret


    security system reported to Arthur.


    “Commander Johnson, we found nothing. Vipod Residence ispletely safe.”


    Currently, Arthur was with Amber, Steven, and the other girls.


    Upon hearing the report, Arthur heaved a sigh of relief. He trusted the secret security system


    completely. Since they found that his courtyard was safe, it should definitely be safe.


    Hanging up the phone, he wondered if he was simply overthinking things.


    As Amber was sitting beside Arthur all along, she noticed the frown on his face. “Grandpa, what''s


    wrong?”


    Not wanting to worry her, Arthur smiled and replied, “Nothing''s wrong. Let''s return home.”


    “Arthur, you agreed to have dinner here. Why are you returning now? I''ve already told them to prepare


    dinner for you all,” Steven chimed in.


    Arthurughed. “Too bad. You''re eating alone.”


    ring at Arthur, Steven replied in annoyance, “Arthur Johnson! When you need me, you treat me so


    politely. Now that you have finished using me, you''re treating me like dirt!”


    “Haha. Commander Lyon, if you''re lonely, call your son and grandson over to apany you. I''m


    going back with my granddaughters to enjoy theirpany!”


    Amber and the other girls giggled too.


    Suddenly, Amber''s face turned pale, and she whimpered in pain.


    “Grandpa! It hurts!” she cried, clutching her head as she copsed on the floor.

    The onset of her symptoms was so sudden, and immediately, she was screaming in agony while rolling


    on the ground.


    Everyone was stunned, and Arthur finally realized that he was the root of the problem.


    The secret security system did not detect any danger in Vipod Residence, as Aaron and Bianca had


    nted something on Arthur.


    Arthur''s heart broke when he saw Amber writhing in pain, as she was his favorite grandchild. “Tell


    Louie toe here now!” he ordered a guard before trying to stop Amber''s tremors.


    However, she had already fainted from the agony.


    Arthur lifted Amber off the ground, and instantly, streaks of blood ran down her face from her eyes.


    It was a horrific sight.


    A cold glint shed in Arthur''s eyes as he flew into a rage. He hurriedly said, “Commander Lyon, please


    send some men to seize Aaron and Bianca.”


    Steven understood this was a serious issue, so he nodded and agreed.


    One minuteter, Louie arrived.


    Though he looked like he was in his forties, he was already sixty years old. He was dressed in green


    and had a schrly air about him.


    Rushing over, he greeted respectfully, “Commander Johnson, Commander Lyon!”


    “Come and see what''s wrong with my granddaughter!” Arthur ordered anxiously.


    “Yes!”


    Jennifer, Yasmin, Jessica, and Winnie all looked on nervously and worriedly.
