Stanley, leading a group of people, was already stationed at the door. He had clearly been waiting for a long time.
intruders charged forward and saw the scene, they were momentarily stunned and felt a surge of unease!
This wasn’t what they had imagined.
Wasn’t it said that the head of the Russell family, Stephan, had been fatally poisoned and that the family was in disarray? They had thought that with the current
kof leadership, only the blind and harmless Imogen remained.
And with Archie sessfully obtaining the family’s seal, he should have taken control of the Russell family by now and aligned forces with them from the inside. Being caught off guard, the intruders hesitated, and their momentum faltered.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people charged out from the vi. They were the Russell family’s forces who had been waiting in the building. With des Bashing and swords shing, the two sides quickly engaged in a battle.
The leader of the intruder looked around. Realizing the gravity of the situation, he shouted, “Is Stephan okay? Where <b>is </b>he? Where did Archie go?”
Stanley swiftly took down two intruders with ease and leisurely answered, “Don’t bother. There’s no need for Mr. Russell to make an appearance to deal with Insignificant fools like you
As for Archie” Stanley paused, then answered, “He’s dead.”
By now, the intruders had no more doubts. They had fallen into a <b>trap</b>! All the information they had received was fake! The agents they had nted were likely already exposed and removed by the Russell family.
None of the intruders would be leaving the residence <b>alive </b>that night.
What terrified them even more was not just that but the fact that the Cartell family and Pete were in great danger.
They had gathered all their forces to take action against the Russell family, intending to strike first. But where was Stephan, who had yet to show up? Was he already personally leading a group to the Carrell family’s location?
Pete was in grave danger!
That night was destined to be an unrestful one. The Carrell family was steeped in the stench of blood, and the sounds of screams and pleas filled the air. Stephan tumed the Carrell family upside <b>down</b>, but he couldn’t find Pete<b>, </b>and it made himugh in exasperation.
How was that man so good at hiding?
In the Carrell residence, Gabrielle had copsed on the ground, her <b>face </b>pale with terror. She trembled <b>as </b>she pleaded, “M–Mr. Russell, what did my son do to offend you? I apologize on his behalt. Please have mercy and spare us!”
At that moment, Stephan was seated in a rosewood chair, his presence carrying <b>a </b>chill that matched the coolness of the night. His handsome face appeared rxed yet striking. Hepletely ignored Gabrielle’s plea, not even sparing <b>her </b><b>a </b>nce.
His subordinates came one by one <b>to </b>report, “Mr. <b>Russell</b>, the backyard has been searched. There’s no sign of him.”
“Mr. Russell, we’ve checked the front. There’s no one <b>there </b>either.”
“Mr. Hussell, we’ve searched everywhere, <b>and </b>there’s no trace of him.”
Pele had disappeared, <b>as </b>if he had vanished into thin air, nowhere to be found in <b>the </b>Carrell family!
Since he wasn’t here, he must be hiding elsewhere!
“Keep searching!”
Stephan stood up, his eyes narrowing dangerously as if struck by <b>a </b>sudden realization. He raised his foot and <b>headed </b>for the <b>door</b>, climbing into the car parked outside.
“We’re going back!”
