Chapter 668

Outside the bedroom, the elderly traditional medicine practitioner started to panic because he could not open the door. Time after time, he tugged at the door forcefully but soon left to find a tool to help him following the countless failed attempts.

Rayna. hiding in a cabinet in the bedroom, carefully listened to the noise outside the door. Wlien it turned silent all of a sudden, she reached out to open the cabinet door, but her movement was cut short by a slashing sound outside the bedroom.

‘'Blood parasite, blood parasite...” The elderly traditional medicine practitioner kept repeating those words non-stop. In liis hands was a rusted axe from who knew where. He held it above his head and struck it at the bedroom door.

Thud! Thud!

Rayna trembled in fear as the loud thudding continued. She did not even dare to make a sound.

Just then, a gunshot replaced the chopping sound. Next, the sound of the door unlocking through fingerprint recognition could be heard, followed by rapid footsteps and the click of the light being switched on.

After some time, a man's magnetic voice traveled to her ears. "Look again. Check the cabinet and under the bed thoroughly.”
