Chapter 227
At this moment, Gavin, who had just left, paused for a moment. Then, there was an obvious helplessness in his eyes.
He sighed faintly and said to Rose, who was driving, “Stop the car.”
“Pfft-”
Rose, who had no idea what was going on, immediately stopped the car.
While she and Harry were looking at Gavin curiously, Gavin had already opened the door and gotten out of the car. He turned around and walked toward the Henderson family.
On the other side, at the Henderson family’s ancestral home.
The sneaky figure was Muriel’s mother, Sally Tenny.
She had secretly followed them here.
Previously in the Tenny family, the head of the Tenny family, who was also Sally’s, grandfather, wanted to introduce her to Gayin. He wanted her to become Gavin’s girlfriend.
He seemed very angry after finding out that Gavin already had a fiancée. He had turned around and left as if he did not want to talk to Gavin anymore.
However, the little girl secretly followed Gavin out of the Tenny family after he left with Rosebud and the Frostpeak Dark Warriors.
It was as if she was very curious about what Gavin was planning to do.
She had watched as Gavin swaggered into the Henderson family.
Yet later, he walked out of the Henderson family unscathed.
It was as if nothing had happened.
The little girl wanted to see what Gavin had done in the Henderson family.
Thus, she sneaked into the Henderson family after waiting for Gavin’s convoy to leave.
She realized that the entire Henderson family was empty. There was an unpleasant smell of blood in the air that made her feel nauseous.
However, she did not realize that it was the smell of blood. After all, she had experienced too little of such things.
Sally went deeper into the estate and was getting closer and closer to the Henderson family hall./
The smell of blood also became more obvious.
Sally looked at the closed hall door in front of her. She could not suppress her curiosity and pushed the door open.
A large number of corpses greeted her.
“Ah!”
Sally was frightened by what she witnessed, so much so that she let out a terrified
scream.
In the next second, Sally ran to the wall beside her and started vomiting.
She seemed to have vomited out last night’s dinner.
Her face turned pale.
At this moment, Sally heard a faint sound.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss.”
It sounded like a venomous snake flicking its tongue. It also sounded like a fuse burning.
The next second.
“Pfft!”
“Boom!” She heard a loud explosion.
A raging fire instantly engulfed the entire Henderson family.
“Ah!”
She felt a wave of heat coming at her as she witnessed this scene.
Sally let out another terrified scream.
Now, she could no longer care about the terrifying scene she had seen previously.
She looked at the raging fire around her and the rising temperature.
Her life was more important.
Sally wiped her mouth, then turned around and ran.
She heard another creak.
A streak of fire darted out and blocked the path Sally was taking to escape.
Sally was instantly surrounded by raging flames. There was no way to escape.
“Ah!”
“Help!”
Only now did Sally realize that she had gotten into trouble.
She thought, ‘Is this what they mean when they said “curiosity killed the cat”?”
Despair and fear instantly overwhelmed Sally.
She was starting to regret it now. Why couldn’t she suppress her curiosity and insisted on coming in to check?
This wouldn’t have happened if she hadn’t come in.
At this moment, outside the door of the Henderson family estate.
Thick smoke billowed in the courtyard and flames soared into the sky. The thick smell of burning rubble filled the air.
Meanwhile, Gavin was standing at the door with his arms on his shoulders.
There was an indecipherable smile on his face.
At this moment, Harry and Rose followed Gavin to the entrance of the Henderson family’s mansion.
Harry looked at the raging fire in front of him with a strange expression and said hesitantly, “Um… Dark Lord… I think I heard a girl shouting for help. Besides, why does that voice sound so similar to the young lady from the Tenny family?”
Gavin looked at Harry and nodded with a smile in his eyes.
“You’re right, it’s that girl Sally. She’s in the sauna now!”
“Huh?”
Harry and Rose were shocked when they heard what Gavin said.
Rose immediately said, “Then what should we do? What if she’s burned to death? Wouldn’t that be an accident? I’ll go in and save her!”
Hearing how anxious Rose was, Gavin waved his hand indifferently and said, “There’s no hurry. That little girl dared to follow me secretly. I’ll let her have a taste of her own medicine and see if she still dares to follow me in the future.”
“Um, this…”
Harry and Rose looked at each other strangely when they heard what Gavin said. However, they naturally can’t change Gavin’s mind since he had already made his decision.
However, the two of them still looked at the fire inside anxiously.
They prayed silently in their hearts that nothing would happen to her.
At this moment, Sally was completely surrounded by fire.
She did not know that the Clifford family would immediately arrange for a Frostpeak Dark Warrior to set fire to the mansion of one of their enemies after annihilating them. That way, their enemy would completely disappear from this world.
The fire had started soon after she entered.
Sally had been forced to a corner by the fire.
There was less and less space left for her to survive.
“Help!”
Her voice had already become hoarse from her roars for help.
It might be because she was choking on the thick smoke, or because she was panicking, or both, but tears kept falling from her eyes.
She seemed to have choked on another mouthful of soot after her cry for help.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Sally coughed violently.
She felt as if her lungs were about to explode.
At this moment, she looked at the fire that was spreading toward her and had completely fallen into despair.
She curled her b*dy into a ball and hid in the corner.
She cried and shouted in her heart, “Mom! I’m sorry… I can’t be filial to you
anymore…
“Grandpa… You’ve just recovered from your illness, but your granddaughter is about to turn into roast pork!
“Gavin…”
At this moment, Gavin’s name appeared in Sally’s mind. She did not know why. “Gavin… I like you! I really like you! I want to be with you!”
Fortunately, Sally had shouted that in her heart and not out loud.
She had wanted to shout what she thought out loud, but her violent coughing prevented her from doing so.
However, this was good too.
After all, Gavin would have been able to hear her shouts clearly.
No one knew how Gavin would react if he heard what Sally shouted in her heart. Seeing that the flame was about to engulf her, Sally closed her eyes in despair.
A tear rolled down from the corner of her eye, but it evaporated from the surrounding temperature just as it reached her cheek.
Just as she was about to die from immense pain, she heard a faint sigh in front of her.
“You little girl.”
Sally’s entire b*dy trembled heavily when she heard this.
She subconsciously opened her eyes and shouted, “Gavin!”
“Cough, cough, cough.” She coughed violently again, but she did not see Gavin.
Painful helplessness appeared on her face as she sighed in despair, “I’m hallucinating… I’m going to die. Gavin, I’ll be your woman in my next life!” Just as Sally sighed in despair, a clearer human voice suddenly rang out.
“What kind of look is this?”
Hearing this, Sally suddenly opened her eyes again. There was a person standing in the fire in front of her.
It was Gavin.
