Luke reminded him, "This is the latest version of infrared alarms. It detects the body temperature of intruders. The intruder will be verified as a human before it'll trigger the alarm and alert the authorities."

Stan's expression changed when he heard Luke mention calling the police. He said, "Sir, it might just be a false alarm. Let me check on it. It's late at night. If it's a false alarm, it won't only disturb the police but also cause unnecessary trouble."

Luke grabbed Stan's collar.

Stan was not tall, and Luke just needed to slightly lift his hand to grab the collar of Stan's pajamas.

"I've already called the police," said Luke.

The look on Stan's face changed. He looked down at his phone, trying to figure out how to discreetly notify the people outside.

Luke's next words, however, made him panic a bit. "Give me your phone."

"Mr. Crawford?" Stan let out a cold shiver and looked at him in astonishment.

"I'd like to check your phone's alarm system," replied Luke. At that moment, Stan had not turned off the alarm yet. The phone was still emitting a loud beeping sound.

Stan's hand trembled slightly as he handed the phone to Luke.

Luke picked up his phone and turned off the alarm.

The beeping sound instantly disappeared, but the noises outside the yard continued.

Luke asked, "Stan, do you know how to fight?"

Stan was puzzled. Why was Luke asking him something like this?

He shook his head and answered, "I don't, Mr. Crawford. When I was hired as the butler, it was never mentioned that I needed to know these things..."

"Seriously? You don't?" Luke's eyes narrowed. "There might be thieves out there now. If you don't know how to defend yourself, how will you deal with them?"

Stan shivered again. "Deal with them? I don't know... Haven't we already called the police? The police near the attraction area are just nearby. They should be coming soon."
