Chapter 1464


    “Continue patrolling. I''ll head upstairs to take a look.”


    Realizing that something was amiss, Marino rushed upstairs to check things out.


    The vi waspletely silent.


    Everything seemed normal, but there was an indescribable sense of eeriness looming in the air.


    Marino scanned his surroundings warily but did not discover anything, so he rushed upstairs and lightly


    knocked on Zachary''s door.


    Ben opened the door and asked, “What''s going on?


    “Ben, where''s Mr. Nacht?” asked Marino.


    “He fell asleep.” Ben asked softly, “What exactly is going on?” “Has Mr. Nacht been sleeping all this


    while? He didn''t go downstairs?” Marino''s eyes widened.


    “Of course!” Ben frowned.


    “That''s weird...” Marino became more uneasy. “Connor mentioned that he saw Mr. Nacht in the garden


    just now. Apparently, Mr. Nacht appeared beside the swimming pool, and he moved agilely...”


    “When did that happen?” Ben was utterly confused.


    “Just now! Around a few minutes ago.”


    Marino peeked into the room. Underneath the dim light, he could vaguely see Zachary lying on the bed


    and sleeping soundly.


    “How is that possible?” questioned Ben softly. “Mr. Nacht returned to the room at eleven tonight and


    has been asleep all along. How can he possibly appear in the garden?” “I find it weird too.” Marino


    asked anxiously, “Do you think that someone has sneaked in here?”


    “Turn on the lights and search the ce,” instructed Ben. “I''ll inform Bruce to send our men back here.”


    “Okay.” Marino was about to turn on the lights, and Ben was about to make the call when a loud crash


    sounded downstairs.


    An explosion suddenly erupted in the kitchen, sending random objects flying everywhere. Not only was


    the sound deafening, but it also caused the entire vi to tremble vigorously.


    At the same time, a zing fire spread out from the kitchen, ring in all directions and engulfing the


    dining room and living room rapidly.


    “Alert everyone! Now!” Ben ordered at once.


    “Yes!” Marino immediately dashed downstairs to gather everyone.


    When Ben returned to the room,

    Zachary was already awakened by the explosion outside. “Leave with the kids first,” he quickly


    instructed.


    “What about you, Mr. Nacht?”


    “Go now!” urged Zachary.


    “Okay.” Ben headed out to look for Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie.


    Meanwhile, all the maids and bodyguards in the house were jolted awake.


    Screaming in fear, they fled in all directions.


    Thrown into shock, Robbie and Jamie ran out of the room, shouting, “Daddy, Mommy!”


    “Robbie, Jamie, follow me quickly.” Ben grabbed the two children anxiously. “Where’s Ellie?”


    “She''s in her room.” Jamie pointed at Ellie''s room.


    “Connor!” Ben yelled out to Connor, who was downstairs. “Bring Mr. Robinson and


    Mr. Jamison down!” “Yes!” Connor rushed upstairs and took Robbie and Jamie away.


    “Where''s Daddy?” asked Robbie worriedly.


    “Don’t worry. I''ll save him after picking Ellie up.”


    With that, Ben went to look for Ellie.


    Meanwhile, Zachary dragged his frail body out of bed. After putting on a coat, he was about to leave


    when a figure suddenly strolled the room.


    “Who''s that?” Alerted by the unexpected guest, he turned his head around and immediately felt a


    shiver run down his spine. “Who are you?”


    “I''m ttered to see that you''re shocked.” Shrouded by the darkness, the person approached him


    gradually. A wicked grin was ying on his lips as he said, “Looks like my stic surgery is so effective


    that I almost look like the real deal.”


    “It''s you?” Zachary''s eyes popped in shock.


    “You recognize me, huh?” The person smiled eerily. “Did you think that I''ve died and is no longer a


    threat to you?”


    “You are the one behind the explosion?” Zachary went straight to the point. “What are you trying to


    do?”


    “Of course, I''m here to retrieve everything I''ve lost!” The person whipped out a gun and pointed it at


    him. “Since we used to be family, I''ll make this quick for you!”


    “Have you lost your mind?” Zachary yelled furiously. “Do you know what you are doing?”


    “When you destroyed my family and caused me to suffer endless humiliation, did you ask yourself that


    question?” A look of intense hatred glinted in the person''s eyes. “Zachary, I''ve waited for this day for a


    long time...”
