“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.
That man was caught red-handed. Before he could lay a finger on the boy, the latter ran toward him
and gave him a big hug.
“Daddy, you can finally walk! I thought that… Daddy, I was so worried about you.”
He was stunned at the child’s heartwarming action.
Fine. He’s just a kid. I’ll just let him hug me for a while since the Jadesons have been treating me well
when I was in a “coma” for days.
Hence, he put down his hands which were hung mid-air.
“Yes, I’ve recovered. Don’t worry, I’m all good now.”
“Are you sure? That’s great news!” The teary little boy looked him in the eyes and grinned from ear to
ear.
It’s so easy to trick little children.
He responded with a smile too.
All of a sudden, his smile froze as he felt numbness on his spine.
“You…”
“How does it feel?”
The boy released him and stepped backward while maintaining a cold and frightening gaze at the man.
The boy’s eerie smile reminded him of another ruthless face.
“You… you tricked me?”
“Oh yes! Isn’t that what you’ve been doing to us too? You were probably still a noob when we’re
already an expert at playing Kill the Werewolf!” Ian said mercilessly.
On the count of three, the bad guy collapsed on the ground like a paraplegic.
Xayden’s drugs are awesome!
Ian took a look outside and called out, “Come on in, Xayden. He’s down.”
“Oh man…”
Xayden entered the room with a bag of colorful tablets.
The bad guy was shocked to his wits when he saw that.
“What… What are you guys going to do? Do you know that there’s a microchip inserted in my brain?
The Chairman will know everything that you guys are doing to me.”
“Oh, really?” Ian responded indifferently, “I have bad news for you. I’ve disabled the transmission signal
from Oceanic Estate. So, there’s no way you can contact him.”
“You…”
“By the way, it’s best you reveal where’s my Daddy now. Otherwise, don’t blame me when you become
Xayden’s lab rat,” the boy reminded him casually.
Xayden’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “Would you really give him to me, Mr. Ian?”
