Time was ticking towards midnight, and William was still sitting in his room with a feeling of uncertainty. Every second felt like an endless hour, and tension hung in the air.His room, usually full of activity and bustle, was now silent and tense. The dim light gave the room a mysterious feel, casting moving shadows on the walls.On the desk in front of him, a cell phone sat silently, waiting for news from William's colleagues. Every time the phone rang, William's heart raced, but most of the time it was just a call or a message from someone else.His mind kept drifting to the events that were happening out there. Had Jaguar, Xavier and Mathew successfully completed their mission? Did they survive the danger? These questions haunted his mind.Midnight brought an increasingly dark and eerie atmosphere, creating a deepening sense of worry in William's heart. Still, he tried to remain calm and patient, waiting in the hope that news of his comrades would come soon.As William continued
Morning came slowly, but the tension still hung over William and the Lysander family. They were gathered in the dining room, each enjoying their breakfast with a sense of unhidden anxiety on their faces.William sat at the head of the table with a serious expression on his face. Even though his plan to fight Ethan and Iriana was neatly laid out, he still couldn't break his concentration. His eyes constantly scanned the room, occasionally meeting Charlotte's worried gaze.Across the table, the Lysander family looked tense as well. Tense expressions on their faces showed that they also felt the weight of this uncertain situation. Even though they were not fully involved in William's plan, they felt the effects of this conflict.During breakfast, the conversation was tense. They talked about the next plan in a low and calm voice, but it was full of stress. Every word was accompanied by a sense of apprehension about what might happen next.Despite the tense atmosphere, they tried to remai
Moments after Ethan's call, three cars pulled up to the Lysander house. The sound of the engines stopping brought silence to the living room as Emma, William, Charlotte, and the rest of the Lysander family stood tense, waiting for the next move.Arthur, Emma, William, Charlotte and the others left the house with their hearts pounding. They walked with hesitant steps to their respective cars, like people who knew their journey was about to become dangerous.The doors of the cars opened and the drivers got out, opening the rear doors of each car neatly. They stood solemnly waiting for the members of the Lysander family to get in.Suddenly, Jaguar, Xavier, and Mathew got out of each car. All of the Lysander family members were clueless about the situation, including William, who was also lost in confusion."What are you three doing? Haven't I given any orders yet?" asked William.Jaguar, Xavier, and Mathew exchanged glances, and since no one answered, Jaguar spoke for the three, "I have
William prepared the stage for the drama as best he could to welcome his enemies. He arranged five chairs in a straight line in the center of the warehouse. The Lysander family was tied to the chairs with a knot that was easy to untie. Not only that, William had also discussed with Jaguar and Array to place the troops in three different layers.The first layer was the troops that would participate in the charade that William had created. Then, the second layer would be placed on the second floor to provide assistance if the first layer had any problems. And the third layer was hidden outside the building to make sure that no one but William could get out of the warehouse alive.When William felt that his preparations were complete, he used the little crow leader's cell phone to send a message to Ethan and Iriana that read, "The mission is complete. The rest just awaits your arrival."In addition to sending a message, William also asked Xavier's help to take a photo of him and the Lysa
"What are you talking about? People like you have a master? You must be mad," William said while laughing mockingly, "I just found out that people can go mad when they are desperate.""Wait William, there seems to be some meaning behind his words. We should listen to what he has to say." Charlotte said.Hearing Charlotte's words, William looked at her with a confused look. He realized that Ethan and Iriana would not say anything without a good reason. There was probably more than just empty threats behind their words."Master..." William muttered, thinking about Ethan's words. His mind drifted back in time, trying to piece together the pieces of information he knew about his enemies, but he found absolutely nothing."Who do they mean by 'Master'?" he muttered to himrself, trying to solve the puzzle he was faced with.Charlotte stepped closer to William, her eyes filled with concern. "William, maybe this is a good time to consider all possibilities. Maybe Ethan and Iriana are not movin
Charlotte's embrace was like a seal that contained the demons within William. His anger immediately ebbed and flowed, lost in his wife's embrace. William then asked, "Are you disappointed in me, Charlotte?"Charlotte looked at her husband. "No, William," Charlotte said in a quiet voice. "I am not disappointed in you. I'm just worried about you. You did what you thought was right to protect our family. Besides, this is your revenge for their behavior. There is nothing I can say to you about that.”William looked at Charlotte, his eyes still showing a hint of nervousness and regret. "I don't want us to get caught up in their games again, Charlotte. I don't want to see you or our family in danger again."Charlotte nodded, trying to support her husband. "I understand, William. It's all over now."William took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "You're right, Charlotte. It may be over, but it is not. You heard what they said before they died, right? They have a master who hides in the s
Emma smiled warmly. "William, thank you for all your help. We really don't know what would have happened if all this hadn't ended."Liliana nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with tears. "You saved our lives. We will never forget your kindness."Michael bowed respectfully to William. "We owe you our lives, big brother. Words cannot express how grateful we are to have escaped the clutches of two demons named Ethan and Iriana."William was a little surprised to hear Michael address him as brother. It was the first time since William's marriage to Charlotte that Michael had called him brother. He realized that he was probably held in high esteem by the three of them.William replied with a friendly smile, relieved that they were safe now. "No need to thank me. I just did the right thing. We are family after all."They exchanged warm smiles, relieved that the danger had passed. In this moment of togetherness and gratitude, Arthur, of all people, was the most grateful. For a long time, e
"What a coincidence. I've just finished and was on my way out. Is there a problem?" asked William, his eyes still reddened to show his sadness.Charlotte nodded understandingly. "It's nothing, dear. I'm just worried about you being alone here for too long."William rose from his place between the two graves. He reached for Charlotte's hand. "Thank you, Charlotte. I'm done here.""Ahh... what a coincidence that you are here alone. Go to your room. I will introduce you to my parents." William continued.Charlotte smiled in agreement and followed William as they both approached the graves of Raven Kingslayer and Alyena Kingslayer. William took a deep breath, preparing himself for this unexpected moment."Mother, Father, this is Charlotte, my wife," William said in a voice that was soft and full of emotion. "She is now the light of my life, the most precious. She has given me love and support in your place. I want you to meet her." William said.Charlotte bowed her head reverently and off
