Chapter 1366
That day, a tragic event urred that shocked the Fletcher Family and the entire celebrity circle in
Bayside City. A group of criminals had barged into the Fletcher Family’srge farnd outside the city
in broad daylight. They blocked the gate and entered the farm armed with AKs, indiscriminately firing at
everybody regardless of whether they were adults or children.
Most of the people on the farm were children with only a few adults there to watch over them… The
Fletcher Family’s tradition of sending their children to the farm had been upheld for hundreds of years.
Nobody had ever expected such a terrible tragedy to happen one day.
The entire Fletcher Family waspletely shaken by the incident, and multiple helicopters immediately
began flying toward the farm out in the countryside.
When Sophia and Michael arrived at the farm, they discovered that the once beautiful and bountiful
farnd had turned into a wastnd. Arge fire had burned down the barracks. Although the fire had
been extinguished, they could see the bullet holes that prated the walls as well as the empty bullet
shells covering the ground. The smell of blood and the charred remnants of the fire irritated their noses
and their nerves. It was not hard to imagine what had happened here.
A group of heavily armed thugs had opened fire against a group of helpless children! Moreover, it was
the children of the Fletcher Family, the top military family in Cethos! The Fletchers soon arrived, one
after another, looking for their children. The entire scene was filled with crying sounds and the smell of
gunpowder. What was once a beautiful wheat field was now a piece of scorched earth. Dead bodies
and the wounded were being carried away as military doctors navigated the scene. Meanwhile, Joel
expressionlessly took in the sight before him. Every corpse he came across filled him with an
unspeakable rage.
Everything happened so suddenly. A group of people drove through the gates and forced their way in.
They showed no mercy upon entry, attacking anything and anyone. The children tried to hide in the
fields while the adults tried to fight back. Unfortunately, there were too few of them against the
assants. Who could have foreseen an attack on a group of children in broad daylight, much less an
indiscriminate shooting by people with guns on a scorching summer’s day?
The military camp located nearby quickly came to provide support, but the group of thugs had already
escaped by then.
When Sophia and Michael arrived, they saw the wreckage and the empty bullet shells scattered across
the ground. A group of dirty children was running around, crying for their parents. But, they did not see
Carmen anywhere…
“Darling! Carmen! Carmen Sophia Fletcher! Where are you?! Carmen!” Sophia shouted her daughter’s
name at the top of her voice. Unfortunately, Carmen was no longer among the crowd. Even though
Sophia screamed until her voice was hoarse, Carmen did note running out to meet her. Then, she
slumped to the ground in despair. “My daughter—”
Michael looked at everything in front of him. A fog of despair seemed to block his vision as he felt like a
de was stabbing into his heart. Our child… is gone…
Meanwhile, Joel quickly received information on the number of casualties. Everything had happened so
fast that there was no time to escape. Who could have thought that somebody would dare to murder
the members of the Fletcher Family so close to the military camp? During the incident, the adults did
their best to protect the children. Most of the adults lost their lives as a result. Fortunately, the children
managed to survive although some sustained injuries.
Joel looked at the corpses that were being carried out, remembering every face in his heart. At thest
moment of their lives, only the courage to sacrifice their lives for the children was reflected on their
faces. The children were taken away to safety as they took a headcount of all those that remained.
Seven or eight children had been injured, but two children were missing. One of them was Lorelei
Fletcher, and the other was Carmen Fletcher.
ording to the surviving children, the thugs had rushed in and grabbed Carmen. Lorelei immediately
chased after them and ran into the car. After that, the cars drove away.
Justinter found his son, Nathan, lying by the side of the road. Nathan had been injured during the
incident. Despite bleeding profusely, he ran out and chased after the cars that had taken his two
younger sisters for a long time. He ran until he passed out by the side of the road due to too much
blood loss. When Justin discovered him, he was on the verge of death.

Simrly, Quinton was carried out on a stretcher too. He was severely injured with gunshots all over his
body. When the tragedy urred, he had hidden the children in the fields and led the adults against
their assants. Unfortunately, they were greatly outnumbered by the assants. The thugs split in
several directions and rushed in to kidnap the children.
Theo nced at Quinton, who had fallen unconscious. He had extremelyplicated feelings toward
this son of his. He even thought of Quinton as his eldest son’s spare weapon. Even so, he was fully
aware that this was his son. My biological son… My son who suffered all sorts of hardships since he
was young; my son that I have never shown any care or love toward…
Quintonyatose after being badly injured, and the thugs had evacuated without a trace, going so
far as to take their corpses with them too. Despite all that, Quinton was holding a piece of cloth in his
hand in a death grip. It was a piece of cloth he had torn off from the other party’s clothes at the risk of
his life. Moreover, that piece of cloth had a logo on it. It was a logo Michael knew very well—it belonged
to the Yard Family. It’s the Yard Family again!
Only a few days ago, Henry and Ryan had publicly attacked the police with guns, causing a huge
uproar among the ruling government and opposition party of Cethos. It was a tant provocation to the
basic order of the country. That incident ended with the deaths of many Yard Family members and
caused the two young masters of the Yard Family to be deported back to their home country after they
were diagnosed with severe mental illness due to trauma. Even so, Jordan knew that that incident was
way more serious than pushing Christine down the building. Hence, he warned his two sons to be
careful. Contrary to his expectations, what his two sons were capable of far exceeded his imagination.
Rather, it surpassed everybody’s expectations!
Sophia’s hoarse weeping was mixed into the sobbing of all the other parents at the scene. Today was
one of the darkest days in the history of the Fletcher Family. Even Michael could not stop his tears from
overflowing. In just a few hours, he felt as if he had lost everything. My child… is gone…
“The Yard Family!” Michael gritted his teeth, turned around, and got onto the helicopter. They were
heading toward the main city district. Sophia wiped away her tears, picked up a gun, and followed him
into the helicopter. Simrly, Joel threw the Yard family’s logo to the ground fiercely, turned around, and
got onto the helicopter. After that, several helicopters took off toward the main city district. Their
destination was the Yard Residence!
The Yard Residence in the main city district of Bayside City was a mansion that Anna had bought when
she came back to search for her roots. It was specially meant for housing the members of the Yard
Family within Bayside City. Louis and his family were staying here. Recently, Henry and Ryan had been
staying here too after being sentenced to trial back in their home country. They were nning to board
the ne back to their home country today.
Today, the Yard Residence was enveloped in a strange atmosphere. A car drove in from the back gate
and parked by the garden. Then, the car door opened and arge man carried Lorelei out of the car by
the back of her neck; he looked like he was carrying a baby chick. She was held by the scruff of her
neck and dragged away without her feet touching the ground. Throughout the entire process, she was
screaming and kicking but to no avail.
Following that, Carmen came out of the car too. However, she was carried out of the car by another
large man. Therge man put her down on the ground after they got out of the car. She lifted her head
and said to him, “Mister, I need to pee.”
Therge man impatiently replied, “No!”
She pouted, and her dirty little face looked incredibly aggrieved. “But… I can’t hold it in…”
Therge man looked at her pitiful little face and felt a wave ofpassion for her. Pointing at the
small garden nearby, he said, “You have one minute.”
Carmen turned and nced at the small garden before saying in a pitiful voice, “I’m scared of peeing
alone. I want to go with L!”
Upon hearing that, therge man looked annoyed. Even so, he waved his hand and allowed it. Thus,
Lorelei was freed too. The two sisters held hands as they walked to the small garden together. “Mister,
you can’t peek, okay?”
