Chapter 1785: Weakest Defense
Late at night, the Warner residence.
Silence enveloped the boundless darkness, the mansion's surroundings empty and exceptionally quiet.
The sound of the wind rustling could be distinctly heard.
Joyce was not present, Darrin was also absent, and most of the guards had been withdrawn. Now was
the time when the Warner residence was least prepared. Little did anyone know that danger was
approaching.
Cloud silently led a team of black-clad individuals into the Warner residence.
After Athena was forced to leave the abandoned school, on her way to receive treatment for her
gunshot wound, she urgently ordered them to capture Anderson as a hostage. And now was the
perfect opportunity.
Cloud effortlessly subdued the guards at the entrance and made his way into the grand hall.
The first person to sense that something was amiss was Mr. Arnold.
Without even having time to put on his coat, he rushed out of his room and came face to face with the
intruder.
A figure tall and imposing, with long hair billowing in the wind, exuding a dark aura.
Mr. Arnold stammered in fear, "Who... who are you?"
Oh no, the Commander is not at home, and Darrin is not here either. Now, only the young master is
home! Could their objective be to capture the young master?
Cloud didn't even spare a glance at Mr. Arnold. He strode forward and lightly struck him, rendering Mr.
Arnold unconscious.
Mr. Arnold's body went limp and fell to the ground, motionless.
Cloud signaled to the black-clad individuals behind him. "Stay here. I'll go find Anderson."
"Yes," the black-clad individuals responded.
Cloud, with cautious steps, made his way upstairs and reached the second floor. One room's door was
closed, while the doors of the other rooms were open. He deduced that the closed door must lead to
Anderson's room.
Without hesitation, he approached the door.
With a loud bang, he kicked the door open.
Anderson, awakened by the loud noise, jolted up from the bed, suddenly awakened from what seemed
like a nightmare. His body was drenched in cold sweat.
In front of the door stood a dark figure, illuminating his features under the sensor lights. Despite his
somewhat scholarly appearance, his aura was shrouded in darkness.
Anderson's heart raced. He recognized this man!
"Are you in cahoots with Athena?" he asked.
"Little brother, you have a good memory," Cloud sneered.
He threw his coat at Anderson and said, "You have one minute to change your clothes. Come with me."
In nicer terms, it could be called leaving, but in harsher terms, it was kidnapping.novelbin
Anderson clenched his fists tightly. His instinctive reaction was to press the emergency call device on
the bedside. This device was connected to his mommy's phone and other electronic devices. His
mommy would immediately know that he was in danger.
Cloud noticed Anderson's actions and sneered, "Don't bother. Do you think I would take the risk of
barging into your house and taking you away without confidence? Your mother is seriously injured and
receiving treatment at the hospital. She can't come to save you."
"What!" Anderson suddenly grew anxious. "My mommy is seriously injured? What have you done to
her?"
Then, he calmed down. "No, it's impossible. You're lying. My mommy has Daddy and Uncle Darrin with
her. Nothing can happen to her." He vaguely knew that his mommy had gone to save his little sister
tonight, and Daddy must have gone with her. They must have encountered some difficulties.
Cloud, growing impatient, approached and lifted Anderson up. "Whether you believe it or not is up to
you."
Anderson kicked his legs in the air. "My sister must have been rescued, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't
be desperate enough to come and capture me!"
Cloud glanced at Anderson. "You're quite intelligent, kid. Unfortunately, it's of no use. You're already in
my grasp. Don't waste time. I won't harm the child. Come with me."
Saying that, Cloud carried Anderson out of the room and down the stairs.
Anderson caught sight of Mr. Arnold lying on the ground not far away. He deduced that the guards
inside the villa must have been subdued. He was actually quite frightened because he had a deep fear
of Athena. His memories of being kidnapped were vivid. If he fell into Athena's hands again, he couldn't
imagine the consequences.
Most importantly, he didn't want to burden his mommy and daddy anymore.
They had gone through so much, and they were finally about to reunite with his little sister. If he were to
be kidnapped again at this moment, he could almost imagine his mommy's despair.
In a moment of panic, his rationality prevailed.
Anderson suddenly had an idea. He looked at his legs and said, "You woke me up in the middleof the
night, can you at least let me use the bathroom? I'm about to pee my pants!"
Although Cloud was cautious, he believed that Anderson was already in his grasp, and he couldn't
possibly turn the tables.
He put down Anderson and said, "Go ahead."
Anderson quickly grabbed the mini smart remote control in the bathroom. Usually, when he was bored
in the bathroom, he liked to play around with the remote control. Later on, he decided to implant many
self-made programs. It could control the entire smart system in the house, turning on lights or air
conditioning with just a thought.
He pried open the remote control and pressed one of the hidden buttons.
It was something he had tinkered with before, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now. As a series
of beeps sounded...
Suddenly, all the emergency sprinkler heads in the entire house were triggered.
Water gushed down from the ceiling in torrents, instantly drenching the black-clad individuals in the
living room.
Following that, the lights throughout the house flickered on and off, alternating.
Any passing vehicles could tell that this was a distress signal.
Cloud muttered under his breath, "Damn it!"
