~Vrmmmmmm!!!!
Driving towards the Gia estate, Dorian and his gang were already dashing towards the scene like crazy.
"Raulin, I understand you race for fun out of the mansion?"
Eh?
Raulin nodded confidently: "Yes, Grandmaster."
"Good. Then what are you waiting for? Go faster!"
Dorian's cold voice seemed to ignite a flame within Raulin as he suddenly grinned dastardly and switched gears like crazy.
"Everyone, hold on to your hats. I tend to be a little bit crazy when I race."
[Zhulyn and Butler Sheng]:... Don't need to tell me twice.
Zhulyn briefly turned to look at Butler Sheng, who in turn gazed at him too.
And in that split second, they seemed to have the ability of telepathy.
~Bam. Bam.
The duo planted their feet firmly to the ground, double-checked the strength of their seatbelt and began holding only any part of the car they could.
(:T0T:)
At this point, they couldn't help looking at Dorian in an aggrieved manner, with invisible tears pouring out of their eyes.
But before they could even finish their little checks and safety procedures, the vehicle suddenly took a crazy turn, pushing them forward to meet their makers.
Of course, that's what would've happened if not for the miraculous and got invention called the seatbelt.
The duo looked at their seatbelts as if looking at a superhero.
And for sure, before they could thank it in their hearts, Crazy Racer Raulin was at it again.
~Vrrrrrrmmmmm!
The vehicle drove towards the estate like a rolling disaster.
Dorian, who still hadn't moved an inch with his hands and feet crossed, couldn't help looking at the Gia estate before shifting his gaze to the moon above.
Amidst the pitiful cross of the dup held captive to Raulin's skills, Dorian sent an orange whiff of light into the vehicle with his fingers.
"Raulin! When we get there, break through anything in your path. Time is running out!"
"Yes, Grandmaster," Raulin replied while shifting gears again and smiling slyly.
Crashing into things?
Well, it just so happened that he also liked those sorts of things too.
Good. It was time to crash the gates, make noise and get in!
Hopefully, the limo doesn't get too damaged.
But hey! In the end, he would've awed the Grandmaster, right?
(^0^)
~Vrrrmmmmmmm!
Like so, a crazy Raulin was ready to show off his skills to Dorian, forgetting about his other 2 Comrades beside him in tears.
They wanted to throw up but dared not do so.
Dammit! Why did they allow this maniac to take the wheel?
Sigh... They were doomed!
Meanwhile, back in the main building within the massive estate, the air became pregnant and heavy with tension.
.
Listening to Hulan's words, Old Gia and Wei Gia nodded at their men, sending them off running and moving about in a flash, confusing the rest in the room even more.
What was going on here?
Pia, the other wives and their children were all very perplexed and somewhat anxious too.
But before they could even make heads or tails of the matter, Wei Gia's calm voice echoed through their eyes: "it's nothing."
"_"
Everyone heard his words and didn't believe him at all!
If it were nothing, all the men around the room wouldn't be acting so vigilant, as if they were preparing for war.
Wei Gia's lead guard, Renjin, stood frozen in place with his eyes darting nonstop and his fingers on the device in his ears, listening to all the reports around.
And in a flash, he turned around, walked towards Wei Gia and spoke in a whisper tone: "Sir! All regions are secured. No enemies sighted yet."
"Hmm... Tell them to keep watching all corners of the buildings and estate diligently. The enemy might already have infiltrated the estate. We can't take any chances. In the meantime, get all 4 choppers ready."
"Yes!" With that, the Renjin swiftly moved away and also collaborated with Old Gia's main guard to also get things done swiftly too.
Even though Old Gia was still living in the old estate, he had long handed things to the First Master.
In other words, it was the First Master's men that typically called the shots unless Old Gia put his foot down.
Thus, it was Renjin's duty to secure the safety of them all, even though he would still be working alongside Old Gia's men.
With that, the massive hall had now been thrown into even bigger chaos than before.
.
Hulan on the other hand, was in hell when she realized that her situation was still a delicate one.
Her nails dug into the flesh like daggers, the more terrified she was.
How... How can this be?
When she passed on the message and saw them move around, she thought it was because they believed her.
But now, with no one even bothered to talk to her, or more specifically... tell her that she was free from death, she became even more anxious, waiting for some sign from them.
However, how did it look like these people weren't playing according to the script she had in mind?
Dammit!
Hulan gritted her teeth angrily.
They must still not believe her fully because of this b**ch and her cursed White Lotus powers!
Everyone was faced with their own little thoughts and dilemmas.
But suddenly, something bizarre occurred.
Blink. Blink.
Two blinks from all the chandeliers, everyone froze in place in shock.
This had never happened before and was a disgrace within a home such as theirs.
They paused all their actions, even while talking, as their words now seemed to be caught in the back of their throats.
Blink. Blink.
There it was again!
Everyone, as if on cue, frowned deeply as they slowly raised their heads upwards to stare at the many chandeliers positioned in different regions above the massive Hall.
Eh? Before, only two chandeliers flickered.
But now, all of them flickered spasmodically.
Hmm... How odd.
Several people thought this, but only Old Gia, Wei Gia, Lead guard Renjin, Butler Feng and a few other guards felt something was wrong.
Call it training instincts, but like animals in the wild, they could sense that it wasn't all just a coincidence.
Their hearts sank deeply as the thought penetrated their minds.
Dammit! The enemies were here, weren't they.
.
~Catchak!
As if in an old western movie, everyone took out their weapons, stood with their feet open, back hunched and sent forth their eyes in different directions, up-down, left-right, and even the ground below too.
Seeing their actions, the ladies also stood and enclosed the children vigilantly.
They weren't fools!
Their Gia family members were warriors and skilled professionals.
So if everyone brought out their weapons, then there was something bizarre about the scene.
As for some of the guards, without wasting any time, they surrounded the ladies and children too, while others focused on Old Gia and Wei Gia instead.
But when everyone was immersed in finding the culprit, the little girl suddenly slipped through the cracks of people protecting her, as if she were a ninja, and made her way closer to the large floor-to-ceiling glass wall, staring at the moon outside intensely.
Old Gia and those who spotted her didn't even think of how she escaped the military barrier of men surrounding her and the others, but were more focused on getting close to her.
"Little Didi... It's not safe. It's not safe. Come towards grandpa, okay?" Old Gia said anxiously while making his way to his precious granddaughter.
At the same time, 2 other guards moved quicker than his old bones, trying to dash towards her too.
Of course, Butler Feng also clapped his hands thrice, making the automatic blinds go down.
Yes! It was dangerous for the little girl to be so close to the glass walls.
The enemy should already be lurking in the buildings, and even the outer estate paths too.
So what if some sniper shot her?
Well, it was indeed true that the glass was bulletproof.
But one shouldn't forget that a few years ago, the latest high-tech vibratory sound bullet was created.
That bullet would at least produce a crack on their windows.
And as everyone knows, if one shot a regular bullet on that same crack, it should form a big enough hole that would go straight into the building.
These new bullets were only permitted to be used by the military.
However, they were still also illegally sold at black markets too.
Typically, they wouldn't be worried that the little girl was this close to the glass walls
But since they didn't know the enemy they were with, who knew if their enemy might have the bullet?
He, Butler Feng, and the entire Gia family might never be able to forgive themselves for such a blunder.
Thus, butter Feng closed the thin, shield-like blinds while the other 2 guards rushed towards the little girl who was still staring at the moon like crazy.
"Little miss, it's not safe."
"Little miss..."
The girl had her back facing them and acted as if she was deaf.
But since she had trauma, they felt that she might just be in a daze or something.
However, something even weirder happened.
The blinds that seemed to be lowering, now stopped abruptly.
And finally, the lights began flickering.
Blink. Blink. Blink.
~Pfff
Blackout.
Everyone's heart was in a mess, as the only light source that now illuminated the entire hall was that coming from the gigantic moon that, for some reason, now looked like it was way closer to their home than before.
But as logical humans, their thoughts weren't on this, but on a potential sniper or enemy attack lurking in the dark hall.
The 2 guards making their way towards the girl finally reached her and stretched their hands forth to turn her around.
However... What happened next was something the Gia family would never forget in a million years.
The little girl looked at the moon and giggled playfully.
The night was hers!
