Chapter 721

By the time I rushed over, I saw someone sneaking away from the mountaintop villa.

I scrambled out of the car and hurried into the living room, only to find Michael and his black-clad bodyguards standing there.

I let out a breath in relief, massaging my temples.

Michael turned around and looked at me. "I'm not as stupid as you think. This is my house-there are surveillance cameras every 30 feet here, and every blind spot on the mountain is covered."

They were originally meant to keep an eye on Genome Society and Stephanie, but now, they had worked well in protecting Steven.

I said nothing and glanced over to Ashton and Xan, who were hiding in the corner. They were both holding a fruit knife in hand as they blocked the stairway.

It was as if they were Steven's final line of defense, even though they were clearly no match for others. Amused, I walked over to ruffle their hair. Xan obediently allowed me, while Ashton defiantly huffed and looked away.

I hurried upstairs and unlocked all the doors to enter the room.
