As he pondered to himself, Darryl noticed that Sheniqua had forgotten to lock the door. He slipped out quietly.
Suddenly, ten figures clad in black could be seen trying to pass over the walls. They had their faces covered, and it was not difficult to tell that they were bandits.
"Argh!"
At the sight of those people, Sheniqua let out a piercing scream. However, before she could shout for help, she had been captured and muffled by the bandits. The group leader growled ferociously, "Don't make another sound, or I'm going to kill you."
As he spoke, he rested his long sword on Sheniqua's neck. The blade was ice cold, making Sheniqua tremble in fear as her face paled.
Darryl frowned to himself. 'Motherf*cker. Was this a robbery?'
Just then, the bandits discovered Darryl as well. They rushed over, tying his hands up.
At the same time, cries blared out from the great hall at the Stanford mansion as they broke out in chaos.
"There's been a bandit attack!"
"Please send help!"
Just then, the head of the bandits spoke up in an icy voice. "Bring them all to the front."
His fellow bandits moved quickly to capture the rest of the Stanfords, leaving them bound in the great hall.
Gerald could not stop hollering at the top of his voice despite having his arms and feet bound. "You've got quite some nerve! Do you know where you are? This is the Stanford household of the Hidden Dragon Town. How dare you break in?"
As the head butler, Gerald was used to speaking brashly.
One of the bandits flared up in anger as he roared back, "Motherf*cker! It's your family we're robbing! One more sound out of you, and I'll have your head."
As the words rang through the air, a slap landed harshly on Gerald's face.
Gerald was only angered even further by the blow. He was just about to shout again when more than ten bandits swaggered in, led by a huge man.
All that could be seen was that the man wore a white leopard skin around his form. He was blind in one eye, and a long scar ran down his face. He was a terrifying sight.
Whew…
