Chapter 426 [Bonus chapter]Revenge (2)
"Everything will be alright, brother. You don't have to worry too much..." Scarlett tried to reassure him.
"Oh, please... don't be too reckless!" Rex's serious tone made Scarlett understand the gravity of the situation. "Remember, never let your guard down!" She could only nod in response.
Then she shifted her gaze towards the old gate that was unguarded but equipped with CCTV. She also spotted a few guards hiding in various spots.
"Many guards hid!" Scarlett said.
"Yeah, there's five." Seven said.
"Well, there are seven people. You guys didn't see two outside the gate?" Rex chuckled. Scarlett and Seven silently gasp.
The tension in the air was getting stronger as the car finally stopped right before the old building.
Before Scarlett got out of the car, she spotted a white-haired middle-aged man, dressed casually, emerging from the main entrance. At first glance, he appeared like an ordinary person, not someone trained for the battlefield.
"Welcome, Miss Piers," the middle-aged man greeted Scarlett as soon as she and Seven stepped out of the car. His expression mirrored sadness and concern, just as Scarlett had expected. This man introduced himself as Noah Withers' assistant, Rudy.
"Rudy, can you take me to see my uncle?" Scarlett asked in a worried voice, maintaining her concerned expression.
"Sure, sure, young miss..." Rudy's voice trailed off as he glanced at Seven, "And who is this young man?" His gaze fixed on the red-haired man, who looked dashing in a suit. He had never seen this man before during their investigation. Who could he be?
"He is Elyon, my personal assistant. He usually helps me in the office," Scarlett said casually, gesturing to Rudy to lead them inside.
"Hello, Mister Elyon," Rudy smiled politely.
Seven smiled as he noticed Rudy's sharp gaze staring at him from head to toe. He followed Rudy and Scarlett casually, scanning the room they passed. As they entered the living room, he felt several pairs of eyes fixed on them.
'Damn it! We're in trouble; they have so many people inside too!' Seven cursed inwardly, but he maintained his calm expression while walking a few steps behind Scarlett.
Before long, they entered the old home office.
Scarlett was surprised when she saw Noah Withers, with several scars on his face, sitting on the sofa, smiling warmly at her. Even though he was wearing a clean, bright blue shirt, his face looked miserable, like someone who had just narrowly escaped death.
If Scarlett didn't know this man was fake, she might have believed him completely; he looked exactly like her uncle Noah Withers. She tried to maintain her expression.
Scarlett decided to confront the imposter and played along with his game, pretending she didn't know that he was a fake Noah Withers.
"U-Uncle Noah!!" Her voice trembled as she walked toward him with fast strides. She stopped a step before him, her eyes blurry. "H-How could that evil Jude Withers do this to you? H-How dare he make you suffer like this?" She continued, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Oh, dear... Scarlett, please don't cry," Jude Withers said, gently patting her head. He was confused and concerned about her sudden outburst of emotions.
Jude Withers became even more puzzled as Scarlett continued crying, unsure how to help her. He simply comforted her by gently patting her on the shoulder.
After sobbing and crying for several minutes, she lifted her head to meet Jude Withers' gaze. "Uncle, let's confront that devil," Scarlett's voice sounded hoarse.
Seven, standing behind Scarlett appeared calm but he was internally cracking up. It was so fun watching excellent acting. He tried hard not to get involved and maintained an expressionless demeanor.
"That man deserves to die. He's not human... He's a real devil!!" Scarlett continued to curse Jude Withers, anger dancing in her eyes as she stared sharply at the man before her.
Behind his mask, Jude Withers' face stiffened upon hearing Scarlett curse him. He tried to calm his mind and heart, not showing his emotions, although it was difficult to maintain. He wanted nothing more than to kill Scarlett, but he had a plan to use this girl to his advantage.
After secretly taking a deep breath, Jude finally said, "Scarlett, we'll fulfill it; we'll kill that bastard... He truly deserves death." There was a flicker of anger in his eyes that made Scarlett feel something odd, but she put aside that weird feeling.
"Uncle, let's catch him. I'm not afraid of him!" Scarlett said.
"No need to catch him," a smile appeared at the corner of his lips before he continued, "I caught him last night. I used my father's people to capture that bastard, Jude Withers!" His anger was evident in his tone.
Another strange feeling struck Scarlett's heart. She was taken aback, 'He caught Jude Withers? He means the real Uncle Noah, right?' she wondered. 'So, Uncle Noah is in this place? Good!'
Before Scarlett could say anything, she saw Jude Withers gesturing to the white-haired man standing near the door, as if asking him to bring someone to this room.
After the gray-haired man left the room, only three of them left, including Seven, who was still sitting at the end of the couch, his eyes fixed on the man across from Scarlett. The tension in the room escalated as they awaited the arrival of the person Jude Withers had called for.
However, tensions were broken when Jude Withers said, "Scarlett, I want you to kill that bastard Jude Withers!! I want you to avenge your mother, father, and everyone he hurt on B Island. Never ever give him mercy! Never!" He became visibly angry as his face turned red and his eyes flashed.
Scarlett secretly observed the person in front of her carefully. Now she felt confused. A critical question that she must resolve quickly.... Was the man before her Jude Withers or Noah Withers? Why were they so similar, and why did his anger towards Jude Withers feel so real? The situation was becoming more perplexing and more pressing with each passing moment.
