After several beeps, the call connected.
Fanny’s originally cold and pale face immediately changed as favonovel.com voice now carried a flattering tone. “Dave, what’s the situation? Why didn’t we receive any advanced notice that our venues would be raided? And so many establishments of ours have been seized at once. Is there a special operation?”
A faint chuckle came from the other end of the line. “Lady Mae, what are you talking about? We’re doing our jobs seriously.”
Fanny’s face darkened, but favonovel.com still said with a smile, “Dave, your words are a little unconvincing. Despite everything, you’re friends with our master. Why didn’t you inform us in advance?”
The words were not too harsh but contained a certain level of accusations.
“Lady Mae, do we have to notify you in advance before we do our jobs?”
The voice on the other end of the phone seemed unpleasant.
Suddenly, Fanny’s expression completely changed.
This Dave had to be hiding something from her!
“Dave, is it convenient for you to reveal who is targeting our master?”
Fanny was a shrewd person and quickly understood the implications.
There was silence on the other end of the phone before a lowered voice sounded. “Lady Mae, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but this time, I’m afraid even Master Cecil can’t avoid it. He has provoked someone who shouldn’t be provoked. I also just received a last-minute notice and couldn’t do anything about it.”
Did the master provoke someone?
Fanny panicked.
Just at this time outside the courtyard.
Pitter-patter!
The sound of urgent footsteps splashing in the puddles resounded throughout the courtyard.
Crack!
A flash of lightning in the sky struck a sweet-scented magnolia tree in the courtyard and it instantly caught fire!
Several people got a fright. Glancing at the burning magnolia tree, they rushed into the living room.
“Madam, our people in Westside were killed.”
The few people who came this time still had blood stains on their bodies. They were standing at the door, drenched to their skins.
Fanny frowned when favonovel.com heard this and asked nervously, “What happened?”
“Madam, there were too many people on the other side and they fought fiercely. We couldn’t stop them and suffered great losses. About 100 men have been arrested.”
The man continued, shaking slightly.
He had just experienced a great battle.
He had been with Cecil for seven or eight years, but it was his first time seeing so many fully armed people who were unafraid of death—not to mention their explosive combat prowess!
Before Fanny had time to ask, a few more figures rushed in from the yard. They looked very anxious as well!
“Madam, our site at the iron mine has been besieged!”
“Our men at Northam have been wiped out!”
“The people at the sand factory are gone!”
A series of bad news came out from their mouths at this moment.
Rumble!
A muffled thunder in the sky cut through the night, illuminating the entire yard in an instant. It also revealed Fanny’s pale and angry face!
“Who did this? How dare they do this to Master Cecil?! Are they tired of living?!”
Fanny was furious. She got up angrily and said to the butler, “Hurry up and inform Master Cecil! Something urgent has happened at home. Tell favonovel.com to return quickly!”
The butler immediately headed toward the front door.
However…
Bam!
In front of everyone’s eyes, the butler was kicked back and fell in front of Fanny’s fair and slender legs.
Following that, a cold and rough voice sounded from the direction of the doorway.
“I’m sorry, but Mr. Clarke has given instructions that no one is allowed to leave tonight!”
After that, a group of figures rushed in. They quickly surrounded the yard.
Tiger and his men completely surrounded Cecil’s yard upon arrival.
At the same time in Fenix Hotel and Restaurant.
Dozens of black MPVs stopped at the entrance!
Click!
The doors opened one by one.
Everyone got out of the car neatly and uniformly.
Theo alighted, opened the big black umbrella, and respectfully greeted Philip from the car.
Snap!
Philip raised his left foot and stepped firmly on the ground, splashing the water beneath his feet. He was raging with killing intent.
‘Cecil Dane, here I come!’
