Chapter 775: Victor’s Threat

Victor let out a cold sneer, his wrinkled eyes full of malice. "What can I do? They're already dead. Of course, I'll send Elsa a picture of their urns. Let's see if she chooses to keep that useless formula or watch her parents' ashes scattered to the

winds!"

Ella Bailey: "??!"

Who on earth could come up with such a vicious plan?!

Was Victor not afraid of being haunted by the vengeful spirits of the Dyer family's parents? Now that the evidence had been dug up, was there still time to warn Elsa?

The suburban villa sat silently in the rain.

A modest two-story home covering just two hundred square meters, most of the rooms were dark except for the dimly lit living room.

Members of the Mountain Veil Order were stationed discreetly in every corner, securing the villa. Elsa had been teetering on the edge of a breakdown all day. Exhausted, she had finally collapsed into an empty room to sleep.

Inside, Sally's fever had subsided, Austin's wounds showed no signs of infection, and the elderly Dyer couple, after taking Tina's specially prepared pills, were sound asleep.

Courtney paced through the villa before returning to the living room.

Jayden sat quietly on the sofa, meticulously cleaning his weapons. Several uniquely designed butterfly knives were arranged neatly on the coffee table before him. Nathan, having just finished a task assigned by Jared, stretched his long legs out lazily and leaned his head back against the sofa, eyes shut in an attempt to rest.

At his feet, Adriana Smith sat gagged, her fear evident. Her eyelids drooped as exhaustion overcame her, but she didn't dare to sleep. Each time her eyes closed, they snapped open again, terrified she'd wake to find her throat slit by Courtney or the others.

Courtney glanced impassively around the room before taking a seat. Pulling out her phone to check the time, she muttered, "It's nearly dawn. Why aren't Tina and Mr. Farrell back yet?"

Jayden placed the last butterfly knife back on the table. With a small sigh, as if completing a monumental task, he poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said calmly, "They should be back soon. Maplewood isn't too far from here. No matter how troublesome those people might be, with the young master's skills, bringing them back shouldn't be difficult."
