Chapter 133 Are You Talking About Those Dead People?
"Did you hear? The people coming this time seem to be from The Obsidian Circle."
"Really? I heard everyone in The Obsidian Circle is a top-notch killer. Aren't we in big trouble this time?"
"What are you afraid of? There are over twenty of us. Can't we guard this gate?"
"So what if it's The Obsidian Circle? I'll beat them until they beg for mercy!"
The Anderson Manor was in a remote location, built at the foot of a mountain. Apart from this building, there were no other residences around.
Two rows of bodyguards were patrolling, pacing back and forth at the entrance. They wore the Anderson Family's standard black uniforms, each one tall and muscular, clearly well-trained fighters.
They chatted casually, obviously not noticing the sharp screams of the lookouts in the forest ahead.
"Cody, want a cigarette?"
"Sure."
Several of them gathered together, smoking and laughing, until they noticed a girl suddenly entering their field of vision.
The girl was wearing a high school uniform with "Stellar High School" written on it.
She stood there, as if appearing out of thin air.
Everyone froze.
"Where did this girl come from?"
A group of eyes all fixed on Isabella.
"Cody, this girl is something special, so beautiful."
"She looks pretty young, probably still a virgin?"
The bodyguard called Cody's eyes also lit up. He walked over, "What are you doing here? Why did you come here? Are you lost?"
Isabella was surrounded by a group of people. Her pretty eyes narrowed slightly.
She said calmly, "I'm here to see Mr. Anderson. He ordered a batch of medicine from our pharmacy before. The usual delivery person wasn't available today, so I'm delivering it for him."
Xanthe's health had been under treatment, and the pharmacy delivered medicine every week. The guards all knew about this.
It's just that the person who delivered medicine before was always a middle-aged man.
Cody looked the girl over suspiciously. The young girl before him was strikingly beautiful, making people's hearts itch just from one glance.
"Where's the medicine?"
Isabella lifted the box in her hand, "The medicine is all in here. Do you want to take a look?"
The box was marked with the pharmacy's logo, indeed from the shop where Maddox regularly ordered medicine.
"Open it!" the bodyguard ordered.
Isabella nodded, walked to the table where several bodyguards were sitting, and placed the heavy box on it. "This batch of medicine, Mr. Anderson will definitely like it."
Under the watchful eyes of several bodyguards, Isabella opened the box.
A cloud of smoke exploded from the box.
Before the person closest to Isabella could finish speaking, Isabella grabbed his hand and dislocated his arm, then struck his head hard with her elbow.
The man instantly passed out.
At the same time, the smoke spreading from the box expanded within a ten-meter radius, instantly blocking everyone's vision.
Several people hiding in nearby trees rushed over like cheetahs.
Continuous screams rang out.
When the smoke cleared, the Anderson Family bodyguards were lying scattered all over the ground, injured and disabled.
"There's trouble over there!"
People patrolling out from The Anderson Manor saw this scene, cried out in alarm, and immediately led their men charging toward Isabella.
Before they could touch Isabella, their hands were suddenly seized.
A scream rang out.
The man was thrown to the ground by Isabella with an over-the-shoulder throw.
The others' faces changed.
Before they could react, Isabella kicked out fiercely, sending a man flying backward to the ground, clutching his chest, unable to get up.
Another round of screams.
In the courtyard.
This was several hundred meters from the main gate, separated by a small garden.
The commotion outside hadn't reached here yet.
Maddox was drinking water, very relaxed.
"Why haven't The Obsidian Circle people arrived yet?"
"Once that girl is dealt with, we can arrange surgery for Xanthe..."
Before Maddox could finish, just as he picked up his cup to drink, a silver sharp object hit the cup in his hand, and it fell to the ground.
Shattered into pieces.
Maddox's face changed, and he looked sharply into the distance.
A young girl leading several young men was walking this way, each with sharp eyes, like killing weapons.
Especially that girl, her cold eyes frosted over, radiating layers of coldness.
Maddox was startled, "What's going on? How did you get in? Where are my bodyguards?"
Someone had broken in and he didn't even know—what use were they?
"Bodyguards?" Isabella frowned, "You mean those dead people?"
Maddox froze.
"What?"
Isabella dragged someone out from behind her.
She dragged the person a few steps, then kicked him in front of Maddox.
Maddox looked at the face of the person lying at his feet, and his expression changed, "Jagger!"
Jagger had already been knocked unconscious, covered in injuries, with a bruised and swollen face, his left arm clearly broken.
Maddox jumped in fright.
Even though he was experienced, his legs still trembled uncontrollably.
How was this possible?
There were dozens of bodyguards patrolling outside.
Where were they?
Where did they all go?
And Jagger.
Jagger was obsessed with boxing and had been training since childhood. His fighting skills were no joke, yet he was beaten into this state by this seemingly delicate girl?
Isabella glanced at Austin, "Go inside and find the person first."
Maddox's expression changed, and he shouted angrily, "You dare!"
"What do you want to do?" He was so angry his face looked terrible. "This is The Anderson Manor!"
Isabella ignored him and walked past him.
Maddox was furious, "Stop them!"
The only old butler Ace present: "What?"
Everyone had been sent to the gate. At this moment, apart from the maids and the captured people, who else was in the house?
As for Andrew, he was still with Xanthe.
"What are you standing there for? Quick, stop them!"
Ace glanced at Isabella and the others, rushed in front of Isabella, and said trembling, "I'm... I'm sorry, Miss, this... this is The Anderson Manor, you can't..."
Before he could finish, Isabella walked past him and went inside.
Ace: "..."
Isabella went down to the basement level.
The underground structure of The Anderson Manor was really complex, filled with large and small secret rooms.
It seemed they did plenty of dirty deeds regularly.
The Anderson Family had many descendants. As far as she knew, Maddox had two sons, one was Noah Anderson, one was Ulysses Anderson. Andrew and Jagger were both Ulysses's children, as was Xanthe.
And The Anderson Manor was just where Maddox retired. Noah and Ulysses didn't live here.
Austin waved at Isabella from a distance.
"Captain, there's someone here!"
Isabella instinctively thought it was Aurora and quickly ran over.
They should have arrived in time. Hopefully the Anderson Family people hadn't done anything to Aurora.
Isabella came to the iron door, but saw that the person locked inside was Gabriel.
During his time locked up here, Gabriel had been beaten several more times.
His nasal bone was broken, one eye was swollen, his face was covered in blood, and the wound from being stabbed hadn't healed.
Pain and hunger combined.
He was about to pass out when he finally saw Isabella.
Gabriel staggered to the door, weakly opened his mouth, "Sister, thank goodness, it's you... I finally see you again."
