The ink-black night blanketed Chen Family Village in silence.
Inside the Farmhouse Courtyard, the three women had just survived a brush with death, and their emotions had yet to fully settle.
Chen Lin said little. His expression grim, he temporarily settled Song Qiuya and the still-shaken Qin Chuxia into the guest rooms.
Once they were settled, Chen Lin went to the backyard alone.
The night breeze stirred the hem of his clothes, but it could not dispel the chilling bloodlust that clung to him.
"Friday."
He called softly.
The silver-white robot glided silently before him, its eye lenses glowing a soft blue as it awaited instructions.
"From now on, activate maximum alert mode."
Chen Lin's voice was icy, devoid of any human emotion.
"If any stranger dares come within a hundred meters of the courtyard without my permission, just... dispose of them."
"Understood, master."
Friday's emotionless electronic voice sounded especially reassuring at that moment.
"Meow~"
Bright Moon poked its little head out of his arms and rubbed its furry cheek against his palm, seemingly assuring him that it would protect their home too.
Chen Lin gently stroked its little head. The murderous intent in his heart eased slightly, giving way to a trace of warmth.
He knew this home now had two unbreakable layers of protection.
With everything arranged, he turned and walked toward the Bentley Bentayga parked outside the courtyard.
The instant he slid into the driver's seat, his entire aura changed again. His tightly suppressed killing intent seemed almost tangible inside the enclosed cabin.
The black Bentley Bentayga let out a low, angry roar. Like a black arrow loosed from a bow, it tore through the night and raced toward Wucheng.
A one-sided judgment and slaughter was about to begin.
Meanwhile, at Aoi Middle School in Wucheng.
