Before they could react, more than a dozen stones were sent flying to them. The group who were sneaking around were hit on their head and legs and caused them to bleed.
“Who is it? Who is attacking us?”
Swoosh!
An urine-filled bag flew over and found its mark, covering the head of the one who shouted. Right after, a sad and scary voice came from somewhere in the backyard.
The feeling it gave was akin to a supernatural being nesting here. It scared them so much, they grew pale and were rooted at where they stood.
“I am sorry, sir! I am out of here right away!”
One of them ran away in the blink of an eye. The others were scared to death as well, running as fast as their legs could muster.
After all, they were only here under orders of Dominic, to ruin Vera’s face to the extent it could not be restored. No one would have expected that they were already being dealt with before they could reach Vera.
Surprisingly, this group did not even know who was the culprit. They did not manage to catch even a glimpse of this person, nor were they even sure if it was a human or a ghost’s work!
The group retreated.
Two individuals were seated on the edge of the roof in the courtyard. They were the assassin and the weapon master of the Twelve Golden Zodiacs, Scorpio and Libra respectively.
Scorpio leaned against the pillar and said softly, “Throwing stones and bags of urine, pretending to be ghosts to scare them. Is this the so-called weapon master? Your methods are a little low leveled.”
Libra laughed out loud, “As long as it brings results that we want, why nitpick about how we do it? We have driven the group away and protected Ms. Jacquin without them being able to do anything.”
Scorpio said disdainfully, “These people deserve to die. Why are they allowed to live?”
Libra shook his head. “Be lenient to others whenever it is possible. After all, they are only acting under orders. Besides, our task is to protect Ms. Jacquin, not murder someone. If we killed someone and did not manage to cover it up properly, it would only bring more trouble to Ms. Jacquin, Mr. Nolan, and others.”
Scorpio snorted and quietly looked at the moon in the sky. He said, “All I know is how to kill. I will not hold back the next time they come back.”
Libra smiled bitterly as favonovel.com shook his head.
If their personalities were to be compared, they were the complete opposite. Libra was a kind-hearted soul. Albeit being proficient in all types of weapons, favonovel.com had never killed anyone. But Scorpio, on the other hand, lives were bound to be lost if favonovel.com took any actions.
Thomas had planned for them to protect Vera, with a proper reason of course. If it was a normal situation where no lives were to be taken, Libra would be able to deal with it and keep things small. But when push comes to shove, Scorpio will make his move and eliminate any potential threats.
The group went back to the Gomez family’s villa and told Dominic everything that had happened.
“It is not that we do not want to complete the mission, Mr. Gomez, but that place is haunted!”
“It terrified all of us, I am getting chills just recalling it.”
“We are unable to proceed with this mission. We cannot be giving up our lives for the sake of money, can we?”
Dominic went furious.
What the hell? How could there be ghosts in this world?
“Get lost, all of you get lost!” Dominic made them leave.
Dominic said to Nicholas, “They are really getting on my nerves. A bunch of useless trash. How could there be ghosts in this world?”
Nicholas chuckled and said, “There might be no ghosts in this world, but what they encountered might be scarier than ghosts. In my opinion, it should be a trick that Thomas had concocted. Forget it. If it is indeed Thomas’s plan, this group of people has no chance of carrying out the order.”
Dominic sighed and said, “But I do not think we have much to worry about. I do not believe that Vera’s face can really be restored?!”
