Lana was stunned to hear the man's callous command, urging his friends to end their lives.
"No, please! Have mercy on us, sir..." Lana pleaded, her voice choked with tears. She now realized that these two men were criminals, pure evil. They would kill their target without hesitation, just as they had killed the driver.
Seeing the man say nothing but his intense murderous gaze intensified made Adams suddenly have the plan to escape.
He slowly brought his head closer to Lana, "Listen, Lana... I'll give you a little time to escape from here. You need to run and find someone to help," he whispered. His voice filled with urgency as he protectively positioned Lana behind him and walked toward the door.
Then, without allowing the man in black a chance to react, Adams swiftly grabbed a nearby wooden chair and swung it forcefully at the man, "Now, Lana!" he shouted, a sense of relief washing over him as he watched Lana make her way out of the room.
Thinking his plan had succeeded, Adams was taken aback when he saw the man in black swiftly dodging the chair.
"Hahaha, you foolish man!" The man in black sneered as he easily dodged his prey's attack. He pulled the trigger without hesitation, a shot aimed straight at Adams' heart. "Die, you bastard!"
BANG!
Lana stopped in her tracks when she heard gunshots. She ran back to the staff lounge room, and what she saw made her anger boil.
"NOOO!!!" Lana wailed, cradling Adams' lifeless body. "YOU BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU! I WILL KILL YOU!!" she screamed, her bloodshot eyes locking onto the man in black.
"Hahaha!" The evil laugh echoed through the room as the man in black heard Lana's words. "Bitch! How do you think you can kill me!? How foolish! You don't even stand a chance to lay a finger on me. Damn!!"
"I will curse you, and my ghost will haunt you as long as you live!" Lana said between sobs. She hugged Adams's lifeless body in grief.
Lost and bewildered, Lana wondered why these intruders had invaded their homes and started killing them. She could hear multiple gunshots coming from another room, indicating that other staff members had met the same fate as them.
"Yes... yes... you can curse me as much as you want!" the man sneered, pointing his gun at Lana. He pulled the trigger without giving her a chance to utter another word.
BANG!
Lana flinched as a searing bullet pierced her skin. She could feel her body swing to the right and her head hit the floor. Her vision fell towards her cell phone, lying just beneath the table not far from her.
'Young Miss...' she whispered in her heart, clutching the nameless pain against her chest. "I hope you never return to this house. Please, don't come back... These people will... they will harm you!" she pleaded as darkness slowly enveloped her.
...
Not far from the Piers' residence, a black car raced toward the house. Tension filled the air inside the vehicle, and the warm atmosphere suddenly turned frigid as gunshots echoed through Scarlett's speakerphone.
Scarlett's pale face flushed with anger. The once-bright light in her eyes faded, leaving them empty as she stared at her cell phone screen.
'How dare they kill Aunt Lana? How dare they!' Scarlett seethed silently in her mind. She clenched her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white from anger and a desire for vengeance.
"Logan, did you hear what happened?" Scarlett said, her voice trembling as she fought back tears. "Tell your friends to come as quickly as possible." Then she turned her attention to the driver. "What the hell are you doing? Are you driving like you have a pregnant woman in the car? Step on the damn gas or pull over. I'll drive!" she snapped, irritation flooding her as the driver maneuvered the vehicle like a novice.
Startled, the driver gasped and pressed down on the accelerator, causing the car to accelerate rapidly.
After scolding the driver, Scarlett took her bag and retrieved a gun. She attached a silencer and checked the bullets. She also took out another black box, revealing a beautifully crafted golden dagger. Gripping the dagger tightly, she prepared to step out of the car. She vowed to kill them all. How dare they eradicate her family? Her loved ones!
Scarlett's eyes focused on the road ahead. They entered the housing complex where her house was located, and from a distance, she saw two black vans parked in front of her house.
"Logan, are you ready?" Scarlett asked. When she saw Logan nod, holding a gun she wasn't aware he had, she turned her attention to the driver. "You wait here and make sure no one enters this house except our backup!"
"Yes, young madam!" the driver replied, retrieving a gun from under his seat.
"Alright, let's move..." Scarlett's demeanor transformed from an elegant woman to that of a heartless assassin, her piercing gaze and dark expression setting the tone. Her right hand firmly gripped a black gun, while her other hand clutched a dagger.
Without hesitation, she marched towards the house.
Logan followed closely behind and was taken aback by her sudden change. Still, he pushed aside his surprise and focused on the imminent threat they were about to confront.
"Ma'am, please be careful," Logan whispered as they approached the entrance. "Let me clear the way." He swiftly positioned himself in front of Scarlett, aiming his gun, scanning for the despicable individuals who had attacked his young madam's house.
Scarlett nodded. She didn't say anything because she was fixated on seeing the housekeeper's lifeless body lying near the main entrance, blood pooling around his head. She stopped and crouched down, checking his pulse. A furrow formed on her brow as she felt nothing. Her heart skipped a beat, realizing that the man was dead.
Anger consumed Scarlett. She had every reason to eliminate these people, especially the ones responsible for the deaths of Aunt Lana and Uncle Adams. She vowed to make them suffer!
