Chapter 1856: Splitting Up

On the other side.

Joyce immediately contacted Darrin, while Luther gathered all their forces. The most important thing was to contain the

information. Luther made calls to the higher-ups at the police station. No matter what, this matter had to be suppressed.

Because they needed the military to intervene, and it involved internal strife within the Saunders family. If everything was

exposed, it would implicate the power struggles between factions. It would be detrimental to the future position of the Saunders

family. Moreover, Mr. Ball's identity was sensitive. Mr. Ball was a figure who operated in the dark. He had influence in all the docks,

black markets, and ports. Today's events were equivalent to an internal fight within the most powerful gang in Khebury. After all,

the Saunders family had already been whitewashed over the years, and there was no need to tarnish their reputation again. The

best course of action was for them to handle it themselves and avoid causing any social impact.

All the forces quickly assembled and arrived at the Saunders family's location.

When they saw the situation outside, they knew it was already too late. As expected, the mastermind behind the whole thing was

Seren, who had been hidden for many years and had seemingly cback from the dead.

The influence Seren had secretly expanded over the years should not be underestimated. Layer by layer, they had surrounded the

entire Saunders family, making it impossible to escape. Felix anxiously tried to see inside, but unfortunately, he couldn't make out

anything.

The air was filled with a sense of impending doom, mixed with a faint smell of blood, sending shivers down everyone's spines.

Luther grabbed Felix's arm. "Don't act rashly. Now that Seren has been exposed, this fight has cout into the open. We take it

step by step, and we mustn't lose our footing."

Joyce said to Luther, "Given the situation, it might take stto attack head-on. I'll try to find any other vulnerabilities with

Darrin and sneak in quietly."

"What do you want to do? Joyce, can't you stop fooling around?" Luther's face turned sour, and his tone becstern. "Don't you

know you're carrying two children in your belly? Everyone is here today; there's no need for you to charge into battle. Just stay put

and don't makeworry about you on top of everything else."

Joyce remained silent.

Of course, she knew she was carrying twins. That's why she didn't act recklessly.

Darrin explained at this moment, "The Commander's idea is that Joyce and | won't directly participate in the frontal conflict. We're

looking for a breakthrough point."

He pointed to the rooftop of the Saunders family's ancestral residence not far away. "Perhaps we can try to climb up there. We just

need to find a vantage point. The Commander will take care of the sniping. That's all."

Luther looked at Joyce suspiciously. "Is that really what you want?"

Joyce nodded. "Yes. It's too late to call in a sniper now. It's better to capture the leader first. If we can eliminate Seren directly, that

would be ideal. If not, it will still have sdeterrent effect.”

"So, climbing up to the rooftop, isn't that dangerous? Are you planning to reach the sky, Joyce?" Luther's face grew even darker. He

couldn't bear it any longer and reprimanded her in front of everyone.

"I... I'll be careful. Besides, Darrin is with me, right? Darrin brought the sniper rifle, and we'll take care of that part. How about

that?" Joyce cautiously replied, afraid of making him angry.

While Luther scolded her, deep down, he agreed. He knew Joyce too well. She couldn't sit still and would never be idle. If he didn't

assign her a task, who knows what exaggerated things she might do? At that time, he would be extremely worried.

Felix pointed to a tower at the Warner residence, showing it to Joyce. "Do you see that direction? That tower is an annex to the

main building, and there's a dedicated fire escape ladder on the side that you can climb safely. The most important thing is that

there's a maintenance platform inside the tower's air vent. From there, you can find an angle to aim at the living room of the

Warner residence. If Seren is there, there might be a chance to strike. But the prerequisite is that you and Darrin have to go around

from the back of the mountain, so as not to attract attention."

Darrin took out a high-powered folding telescope and carefully observed. Then he nodded to Joyce. "Commander, this plan is

feasible."

"Good, let's do it this way," Joyce agreed. "Bring a few of our best special forces to cover us."

"Yes, Commander," Darrin immediately went to arrange it.

Before Joyce left, Luther pulled her arm and suddenly embraced her, his warm breath brushing against her cheek.

"Be careful, I'll worry about you," he said.

Joyce swallowed hard, trying not to lose her composure. She pressed her chin against his shoulder and nodded firmly.

"I know. I'll never let you worry again. | promise you, I'll protect myself."

"Mm, go," Luther gently touched her cheek and smiled tenderly.

When Joyce and Darrin left and quietly sneaked into the direction of the back mountain, Luther, Felix, and Mr. Ball, along with their

forces, launched a frontal attack on the Saunders family. They encountered fierce resistance, and their opponents were stronger

than they had anticipated. As they fought their way in, they witnessed the gruesscenes inside.

Felix couldn't help but feel shocked. The century-old family had been nearly wiped out, and the sights were unbearable. The

Saunders family's servants and subordinates were strewn about, most of them injured, sbarely clinging to life. They fought

their way forward, expending considerable effort, until they finally approached the vicinity of the Warner residence.

Luther grabbed Felix. "Let's be cautious. It seems like the other side is intentionally going easy on us. Perhaps they're trying to lure

us in."

Felix nodded. "I sense it too. Seren must have an unfulfilled goal. He wants to take over the Saunders family, not just kill everyone.

It's not like before."

Luther nodded, instructing Mr. Ball, "You lead your men to set up an ambush outside. Felix and | will go in first with our forces."

"Understood, Mr. Warner, Mr. Saunders. Leave the outside to me. | can definitely hold them off," Mr. Ball assured them, patting his

chest.

Luther and Felix both nodded. With Mr. Ball there, they could feel at ease.

Now, what they needed to do was to explore the interior of the Warner residence, to see what the situation was like. What

happened to the Saunders family? Was Seren there? And Vicki, had she been brought here too?

Luther and Felix exchanged a glance.

They nodded at each other with unspoken understanding. Then, they walked hand in hand, protecting each other, step by step,

entering the Warner residence.

When they entered the interior of the Warner residence, cautiously passing through the bloodstained corridors and finally arriving

at the living room, Luther and Felix were instantly shocked.

Oh my God!
