In Herbert family’s villa…
At this time, the whole Herbert family had almost gone to sleep. The lights were dim in the huge yard. It was pretty quiet around it. Occasionally there would be a rustle of leaves blown in the wind.
Boyce walked up to pull Matthew, afraid he would be too impulsive. “Although you’ve come here, I’m afraid you still can’t find Dolores.”
“So you want me to wait? The longer we wait, the worse the situation would be with her.” The red blood-shots gathered in the center of his pupils, glowing with bloodthirsty red.
Maria used to attempt to kill Dolores by an accident. If this time she was taken by Maria, he couldn’t think about the consequences at all. Now all he could do was to force the Herbert family to hand over Maria.
Boyce was taken aback. He gradually released Matthew. He had never seen the panic on Matthew’s face. He whispered, “What’s a friend for? Leave this tough job to me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Boyce kicked the gate with a loud “bang”.
Creatures around were woken up immediately.
Landon was sleeping soundly. He was woken up by this loud noise. Camilla got up and turned on the lamp on the nightstand. “What was the sound just now?”
Landon didn’t move. He half-closed his eyes, looking quite sleepy. He was unhappy for being woken up by the loud bang. He answered in a dizzy, “Must be thunder.”
After finishing his words, he continued to sleep.
Camilla didn’t think so. It was sunny during the daytime. How could there be a thunderstorm at night?
“Stop wondering. Go back to sleep. I don’t think someone is kicking the door.”
Camilla agreed with him after a thought. It was midnight and there shouldn’t be anyone. No burglar should have the guts to break in.
Thanks to the high technology nowadays - the fireproof and theft-proof system was quite advanced.
Camilla turned off the lamp and lay down again. She tugged herself in the quilt and slept leaning against Landon.
“Are they a pig family?” Boyce kicked the door much heavier than just now.
“Bang!”
Birds were also shocked, and a huge group of them flew to the sky.
Boyce had practiced martial arts.
He was quite strong.
“It’s not thunder.” This time Camilla heard it clearly. She got up and turned on the lamp on the nightstand. “The sound seemed to come from the gate.”
Landon also got up, the quilt falling to his belly. “How could there be someone in the mid of the night?”
“Let me have a look.” Camilla stood up and walked downstairs. Warner had already got up. Seeing Camilla, he asked, “Did you also hear the big noise at the gate?”
Camilla nodded.
“Go back to sleep, please. I’ll go have a check.” Warner walked to the gate while putting on a jacket. He opened the door of the house and walked out. There were lights in the yard, the light of which was dim, not so bright. He could see some figures faintly. He fastened his paces.
He walked to the gate, pulled the security lock, and opened it. Before he could recognize who was standing there, he got a kick unexpectedly. He had to take a few steps back but still, he fell on his hips.
Boyce was about to kick the gate again, but the gate was opened unexpectedly.
So his kick landed on Warner’s body.
Covering his belly, Warner was furious. Nobody would feel good after being kicked so suddenly.
“Who are you? Do you have a death wish? Do you know where you are? How dare you make trouble here?” Covering his belly, he stood up from the ground, gazing at the two figures standing against the light.
Boyce walked out of the shadow.
Warner saw his face clearly, frowning. “How could it be you?” He squinted. “Think you are a policeman so you can intrude into my house and bully me? You are breaking the law. You deliberately break the law. Do you want to lose your job?”
Boyce sneered. “I’m just enforcing the law impartially.”
Warner knew Boyce’s identity. Upon hearing his words, Warner started to be uneasy, wondering what he meant.
Boyce was different from an ordinary person. He could adjust to the actual situation pretty fast. He pulled out the cell phone and played a video clip in front of Warner. “This is your sister, isn’t she?”
Warner took a glance - the person was wearing a mask. However, from the figure and the eyes, the person did look like Maria.
