The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 533

Chapter 533 Black Mamba

Cayden's heart was in his throat when he heard Avery's terrified shrieks. “Avery, what happened?”

The scene unfolding before Avery's eyes was so shocking that she found herself unable to speak.

It was a giant nest of snakes.

Avery's legs had turned jelly. She subconsciously thought of getting off the swing, but she almost fell off due to her panic and injured foot, which impeded her movements.

Thankfully, it was a close call as she caught hold of a sturdy branch in the nick of time.

“Ery, what's going on?” Cayden called out urgently. His voice was overflowing with concern.

Avery was fearful of moving when she turned her phone camera at the horrific beings on the ground.

Cayden could see through the live video clearly that several black snakes were slithering toward her.

He immediately became alarmed.

The snakes were black mambas, the most dangerous venomous snake species. Their speed and attacks were tremendously lethal that even two drops of venom could induce death.

However, their natural habitat was usually in Alendor, the southern parts of Aploth, and regions with tropical rainforests. There was no way they would appear here unless they were transported over on purpose.

Avery tried desperately to remain composed, but her hand holding her phone trembled. “C-Cayden, t-there are many black snakes here. Why are there suddenly so many black snakes in the garden?”

She was so overcome by fear that she started stammering.

Avery had a phobia of cold-blooded animals that squirmed, snakes being one of them.

She was frozen with trepidation as she stared at the snakes exposing their scarlet forked tongues as they glided toward her.

Her heart was beating at an erratic rate.

She was always repulsed by creatures like snakes, so much so that she rarely watched movies with snakes in them.

The dread of having a nest of snakes moving in her direction was not something an average person could handle.

“Avery, run!” Cayden roared at the shell-shocked Avery. “Get up and hide in your room. Don't come out! There are tranquilizers and several hunting rifles in the closet drawer of the room next to the study. They'll allow you to protect yourself... Don't be afraid. I'll be there soon!”

He cared not that Avery running might risk harming the infant in her belly as her safety took precedence over all else.

While he was on the call with Avery, he dialed the number of the security guard of the mansion and said, “There is a sighting of venomous snakes in Mansion No. 8. Bring realgar, snake hooks, and rifles, and deal with them immediately! Don't forget the antidote too.”

It was better to be safe than sorry.

Avery would need to be administered an antidote if she was bitten by the venomous snake to be saved.

Cayden called Jeremy next. Jeremy was a retired special forces soldier with plenty of experience surviving in the wild. Naturally, handling venomous snakes was under his belt. However, he was not at the mansion currently, as it was his day off.

Thankfully, he rushed toward the mansion as soon as possible once he received Cayden's call.

Cayden did the same as soon as he hung up.

Avery's leg might have almost recovered, but she was not athletic by any means. His forehead beaded with cold sweat when he imagined her being bitten by the venomous snakes.
