Chapter 1283
Suddenly, the wall started shifting and a humanshaped opening appeared. With a leap, Carson
jumped out of the opening.
When the young man noticed that something was amiss, the wall had sealed up. Thousand
Pounder started raining down on him from above. Then, at the speed of light, the young man bolted
for the window.
However, he was too far away from the window, hence it was almost impossible to escape from this
distance. At the veryst moment when the young man''s leg was out the window, his other leg was
shed by the sharp Thousand Pounder des that rained down on him.
He struggled to pull his leg out, and the injury on his leg made it difficult for him to move.
At this moment, Carson switched on the lights in the vi.
He was confident in thinking that the assassin had died from the raining des.
When he saw the empty bedroom, however, Carson panicked and punched the rm system
immediately.
48 Stronghold''s Corvettes rushed out at once.
When the young man heard themotion, he gritted
his teeth and ran in the other direction in an attempt t o escape.
"There''s an assassin. Search the ce," Carson said, looking at the blood trail on the window.
A servant reminded Carson. "I heard that several distinguished guests have arrived at our
stronghold today and now there''s an assassin in our stronghold. Don''t you think this coincidence is
uncanny?"
Carson looked in the direction where Refreshing Breeze Courtyard was situated and said, "Come
with m e."
Refreshing Breeze Courtyard.
When the Corvettes rushed over, Cole jumped down from the tree.
"What happened?"
Carson moved his mouth closer to Cole''s ear and whispered, "An assassin sneaked into your room
and survived the Thousand Rounder with injuries. I''m sure he won''t go far."
Cole looked surprised. There were so many rooms in the Yorks’ stronghold, yet the assassin came
straight for his room. He was most probably there to hurt him.
Also, if the assassin could survive the Thousand Rounder, then he was definitely no ordinary man.
Cole''s mesmerizing face turned solemn as he said," Come with me."
When Jay heard the knock on the door, he frowned and walked over in a rather irritated manner.
He opened the door and saw Cole and Carson staring a t his legs.
Jay asked, "What? You suspect that I''m an assassin?"
Cole''s gaze shifted from Jay''s leg to his calm and stern face. Seeing that there was nothing unusual
about him, he was then ruled out as an assassin.
Cole exined, "An assassin has intruded our stronghold tonight. To ensure that you''re safe, do let
the Corvettes in to search the ce."
Jay said, "You can search any room you like, but you''re not allowed to touch my missus’ room."
Cole eyed him suspiciously.
"Why can''t we search her room? Are you hiding something from us?" Carson roared.
Jay replied, "Do you think a blind woman can be an assassin? Are all the Corvettes in 48
Stronghold only fit for guzzling and boozing?"
Cole did not intend to make things difficult for Angeline and ordered Carson, "Search other rooms
first."
Jay repeated, "Don''t barge into ady''s room at night. You need to at least show her some respect."

Cole nodded to the Corvettes sisters. "Girls, go and search thedies'' rooms."
"Yes, sir."
Inside the room. When Angeline heard Jay and Cole arguing, she slowly opened her eyes.
All of a sudden, she heard the window sliding open gently. Immediately after that, the nket was
lifted and an ice-cold body snuggled in.
"Help me." A young man’s weak and feeble voice rang softly in her ears.
Angeline was seemingly stuck in a daze.
There was clearly still a trace of childishness in the young man’s voice, which reminded her of Jens.
They were probably about the same age, right?
Angeline said, "Don''t move."
