Chapter 200
Victoria opened her mouth to speak but stopped herself.
Janelle ran down the road as she pulled Victoria along. They disappeared at the corner of the road.
Honk! A car appeared at the end of the street. The car slowed down as it passed by the overturned car and sped up, leaving the
scene.
The man, who had shot his friend, raised his head as his eyes glowed red eerily. With a cloud of red smoke surrounding him, he
walked towards the car. He lifted the car off the road, his bones cracking as it fractured. He flipped the car over on the road, and
glass shattered to the ground. Dragging his dislocated elbow, he bent down to pick up the body on the road, stuffing it into the
car. After getting in the driver’s seat, he drove the wrecked car forward.
Minutes later, pedestrians witnessed a black sedan ramming through the barricade and driving into a river, sinking to the
riverbed.
The smell of gunpowder lingered in the air in Rowan Lane. In Lynch’s Parvus Building, Franklin sat on the sofa with his wife in
his arms in the second floor living room. He was anxious. Who was the person that Jacob had aggravated? They even used
explosives!
Trey stood by the window silently.
Franklin broke the silence. “Do you know when Jacob will come? Is he in danger?”
Trey put on a plastic smile. “Sir, the boss will be back very soon.”
Boss, in danger? The thought had never crossed his mind. The Dragon Guardians firmly believed that no one could rival their
boss. The Warlord of Scarlet Dragons would never be in danger!
Trey returned his gaze outside the window.
As the time trickled by, rain clouds covered the sky. Franklin shivered as a cool breeze blew through the window.
A shadow flitted by the window.
“What was that!?” Franklin, who just happened to look out, exclaimed.
Trey looked towards Franklin. “Sir, the boss has returned.”
Franklin leaped to his feet. “Jay is back?!”
Voices drifted up the stairs. Moments later, Jacob climbed the stairs with his daughter in his arms, Moira following behind him.
Franklin rushed to Jacob. “Jay, your sister is not here!”
“Dad, don’t worry. Janelle is perfectly safe. She will be here soon.” Jacob looked towards his father.
“That’s good then.” Franklin exhaled in relief, but still hoped that his daughter would return quickly.
“Moira, come here.” Suzie, with one hand resting on her baby bump, waved from the sofa.
Jacob leaned Heidi towards Franklin. “Do you know who this is?”
Heidi nodded furiously. “It’s grandpa!”
“You’re right!” Franklin beamed, his eyes squinting into a thin line. His anxiety disappeared. “Come, give grandpa a hug!”
