“What’s wrong? Did something bad really happen?”
“No, Ms. Dolivo. No worries, everything’s fine. Ian and I will head out for a bit. Please take care of Vivi,” Matteo lifted his head and consoled Wendy.
Then, he held Ian’s hand, and they both sneaked out together.
A few minutes later, they got out of the basement, and were greeted by a quiet Oceanic Estate. They ran upstairs to the third floor to look for Sebastian, with the intention to confirm if he was the mastermind behind the nationwide commotion.
They were surprised to find Sabrina and Sasha present on that floor too.
Sasha was standing at the entrance to the bedroom door whereas Sabrina was sitting outside, looking at the surroundings vigilantly.
She was all geared up to keep a close watch on the room as though she was a predator hunting for her prey.
What’s up with all these?
The two young boys retreated.
“This seems a little strange.”
“You’re right. Aunt Sabrina doesn’t appear to be taking care of Daddy. She looks more like a guard who glares at her subject!” Ian shared his analysis.
Matteo’s expression turned increasingly grave. Furrowing his brows, he mulled over the situation and gazed at Ian.
“What do you think?”
“Kill the Werewolf?” With disdain, the nine-year-old mentioned the game sternly. The scornful look on his face was exactly like his father’s.
Two minutes later, both Sasha and Sabrina heard a child wailing downstairs. Instantly, the two ladies darted toward the direction of the cry.
“What’s going on? Matteo, is that you?”
“Oh… Mommy, there’s a dead person here. There’s a lot of blood…” the child screamed incessantly, causing the two women to panic.
Sabrina rushed downstairs right away. Although Sasha dared not leave the room, she kept stretching her head out to peep.
Who would have known that there was a part two to this episode. Suddenly, another child’s crying was heard from the basement, only that this time it was a girl.
“Vivi!” The horror-stricken Sasha paled. She could not resist her urge to dash downstairs in a flash.
With that, no one remained to guard the room.
At that critical moment, the person on the bed opened his eyes and propped himself up.
I must take action now. Since the Chairman has launched his attack, my task is to burn Oceanic Estate down and send the Jadesons to hell. Then, I can celebrate the victory with the Chairman.
He jumped down from the bed, but…
“Oh, Daddy! Why did you get up?”
Coincidentally, the little one walked into him. Seeing him getting off from the bed, the boy widened his eyes and looked at him, completely baffled.
