Graham had not explained a single detail. That made her feel extremely uneasy.

And nothing was more terrifying than not knowing.

Hazel and Roxanne were just as thrown. Why were they being summoned too?

“Alright!”

The three women sped through the city and arrived at the Golden Residence. To their shock, the house was packed with people.

Every member of the family was there.

Just like Anya, they were visibly confused.

No one knew just what was going on.

Graham merely surveyed the room with a grave look before somberly saying, “Everyone, I have an announcement to make There is a chance that the Golden family will be wiped out today.”

“What?”

Shock exploded through the crowd. Faces went white.

“What? Our family will be gone by tomorrow? Dad, what kind of joke is this?”

Despite the bewildered look on her face, Anya thought her father was just cracking a joke.

Hazel and Roxanne were similarly confused. Just what was going on?

“It’s true! Mr. Wells just called me, telling me to gather everyone here today for something very important. I think we’re all

doomed…”

As he said that, dejection shone clear on his face.

The name hit like a hammer. The room went dead silent-then panic surged like a wave.

People began connecting the dots in the worst possible way.

If Hugo wanted to end the Golden family, gathering them in one place would make it easy.

He had finally exposed his ambitions of taking down the Golden family.

In an instant, the air was filled with chaotic panic.

“What do we do? Mr. Wells is going to kill us!”

“I don’t want to die.”

“Graham, do something!”

Crying broke out Shufung Chuns

If Hugo wanted them dead, no one in the family could do anything about it

Escape was impossible. The underworld had eyes everywhere in Silveston

Hazel and Roxanne stayed strangely quiet, confusion tightening their faces. After aft, if this was really about wiping out the Golden family, why insist on the two of them being here?

Anya stood frozen for a long moment before forcing herself to speak.

“Dad… could this be a misunderstanding?” she asked, voice tight. “Why would Mr. Wells suddenly come for us? We haven’t provoked him.”

Hugo had humiliated them before, yes-but he’d still kept things within certain pes.

Why would he want to attack the family now by gathering them all together?

“How would I know?” Graham snapped, panic breaking through his restraint. “He’s unpredictable! If I could guess what he was thinking, he wouldn’t be Mr. Wells!”

The room sank into a heavier dread.

As they could not guess Hugo’s motive for wanting everyone to be gathered in the same house, they could not resolve their

dilemma.

They could not even beg for mercy. Faces drained as hands trembled.

For some unknown reason, Hugo was going to wipe them out.

“Sir! Bad news!” A man rushed in, nearly sturnbling over himself. “Mr. Wells is here!”

Graham jerked upright. “How many men did he bring?”

“A lot,” the man gasped. “It’s like a parade. I’d bet they’re all Mr. Wells’ subordinates.”
