Chapter 1221 Two-for-One Special

As the sun began to peek over the horizon, something strange was unfolding inside a grand mansion.

Natasha, fast asleep in her cozy room, suddenly stirred as an unfamiliar noise reached her ears.

Startled, she bolted upright in her bed, quickly moving to the window, and peered through a gap in the curtains.

In the dim morning light, her eyes widened in astonishment. Several guards who had stood watch at the front door throughout the night now lay unconscious on the ground.

“What in the world?”

Natasha furrowed her brow and swiftly reached for a handgun from the bedside drawer.

Silently, she opened her bedroom door, surveyed the situation, and then hurried into her sister Ruth’s room next door.

“Ruth…”

Natasha gently shook her sister awake. When Ruth’s eyes fluttered open, Natasha placed a finger to her lips, signaling for silence. “Don’t make a sound; there’s an intruder.”

“An intruder?”

Ruth rubbed her eyes, still half-asleep. “Sis, are you sure you’re not dreaming? We have a dozen Shadowguards surrounding our house day and night. Who would dare break in?”

“Something’s happened to all our guards. It’s incredibly dangerous now. We need to get out of here!” Natasha’s face bore a grave expression.
