Chapter 548


    Time was ticking away, and the sky was growing darker. The rain was starting to fall. Although it wasn''t


    heavy, it was enough to make you uneasy.


    "Ms. Dennis, the potion''s cooled down," came a voice.


    Violette snapped back to reality, walked over to the wooden barrel, and checked the temperature of the


    potion with her hand.


    "Put the body in," she ordered.


    "Oh... just drop the corpse in like that, won''t it rot?" asked Silver King''s assistant. "Ms. Dennis, can you


    really bring the dead back to life?"


    Violette shot him a cold look. "You are doubting me?"


    "I''m just curious."


    Violette said solemnly, "This is a secret potion. The body won''t rot."


    Seeing her serious demeanor, the assistant didn''t question any further. A few bodyguards lifted the


    corpse and ced it in the barrel.


    Violette noticed the varying degrees of panic on their faces. No matter how beautiful this woman had


    been in life, her corpse from over a decade ago wouldn''t be appreciated by anyone. It was not the dead


    that were scary; it was the fear of the unknown that was terrifying.

    "Ms. Dennis, what do we do now?" the assistant asked.


    "Wait," Violette replied calmly, standing by the barrel.


    The assistant seemed puzzled. "Wait for what?"


    "Wait for her toe back to life," Violette added. She felt somewhat fearful and nced out the


    window, whispering, "Doesn''t the room seem a bit dark? Turn on the lights."


    The assistant found her a bit entric but signaled to the bodyguards, nheless.


    A bodyguard went to turn on the light, but the chandelier hanging from the ceiling didn''t light up when


    the switch was flipped. Violette watched this scene, a glimmer of hope igniting within her.


    "What''s going on?" The assistant went over to the switch and tried again, but the chandelier still didn''t


    respond.


    "Stay here. I''ll check the circuit breaker." The assistant said seriously, then left in a hurry.


    At this time, the light above Silver King''s head also went out. He was entertaining guests in the VIP


    room, where the lights had been on until they suddenly went out.


    Because night had fallen, the room became even darker when the light went out. He thought the light


    had burnt out, but then his assistant rushed in, telling him that the power was out throughout the entire


    mansion.


    He thought he must have misheard. He had never experienced a power outage in his life. There were


    plenty of backup power supplies in the mansion.


    "Boss, the technician is working on it. The power should be restored soon," the assistant told Silver


    King.


    Seeing that the power was out, the guests hurriedly left. The sky darkened in an instant. With no


    electricity, the mansion was enveloped in an eerie atmosphere.


    "Where''s Violette?." A sense of foreboding rose in Silver King''s heart.


    "What a bunch of ipetent idiots. Were all the backup power supplies sabotaged?." Silver King was


    furious.


    "Yes, they were. Even if they sabotaged our power supply, we have Violette. There''s no need to be


    afraid," the assistant said nervously.


    Soon, they reached the second floor.


    "Violette. Is your maning to rescue you tonight?" Silver King taunted, pulling out a handgun, "Think


    you can get out of here alive?"


    His only response was silence.
