Chapter 1786: Ignition
He was about to open the door to the bathroom when he realized that it was automatically locked from
the inside. It turned out to be a two-way locking mechanism! He hadn't noticed it before. In the
flickering lights, he finally noticed that all the doors in Luther's house were fireproof and explosion-
proof. In other words, a normal explosion wouldn't be able to break open the bathroom door in front of
him.
If given enough time, he could open it.
But...
At this moment, Anderson locked himself in the sealed bathroom and shouted loudly, "The fire alarm
system in my house is connected to the Khebury Fire Brigade. They have already received the alarm.
They will definitely come to put out the fire within ten minutes! If you know what's good for you, leave
on your own!"
Cloud angrily kicked the bathroom door.
He had been outsmarted by a four-year-old child. Although he had heard that Anderson was a genius
and extraordinary, experiencing it firsthand was truly remarkable. In fact, he had no intention of harming
the child. Taking Anderson away was not to hand him over to Athena. He had another purpose, which
was naturally related to Vicki.
Although he led OGW, and OGW's reputation wasn't good, he had his own principles.
He would not stoop to harming children.
"Come out. Otherwise, I'll use explosives! If I accidentally hurt you, don't wet your pants!" Cloud
warned.
Anderson huddled in the bathtub; he wasn't that foolish. As long as he stayed here, he didn't believe
that anyone outside could do anything to him.
He continued to press the remote control in his hand, opening all the tightly closed electromagnetic
doors in the house. The lights flickered, and the sharp fire alarm continued to sound.
Cloud muttered angrily. He needed to take Anderson away as soon as possible; he couldn't afford any
more delays.
He took out a handgun and aimed it at the door lock. "Bang, bang, bang," he fired several shots.
However, although the door lock was shattered by the bullets, the door wouldn't budge. This door had
hidden locks that couldn't be shaken. He speculated that this was the so-called earthquake-safe room
designed by the Warner residence. It was meant to be used during strong earthquakes. It had a water
source and was impervious to collapse. No wonder Anderson chose to hide here. This child was
exceptionally clever.
Cloud carried a small explosive device with him, and now he could only give it a try.
Anderson hid inside, hearing the gunshots outside, naturally feeling scared. After all, he was too young,
and he was facing the most evil organization in the world. Based on their actions just now, he had
already guessed that it must be the OGW that Mommy often mentioned.
Cloud quickly placed timed explosives at the four corners of the door. These explosives were precise in
their power and wouldn't harm the surroundings, but they had tremendous force. They were often used
to blow open bank vault doors.
His original intention for carrying them wasn't to use them here. It was intended for the Saunders family.
Now, he could only take the risk and give it a try.
"I'm going to ignite it. Step back!" Cloud didn't want to harm the child and shouted loudly.
Anderson remained huddled in the innermost part, tightly embracing himself, waiting for the impending
fate. Regardless of the outcome, he had already put forth his greatest effort to prevent himself from
being kidnapped. He didn't want to burden his parents again.
He only hoped that Mommy could see his alarm soon, and that the fire brigade would arrive promptly
and scare them away.
On the other side...
Darrin stood guard outside Alisha's hospital room, where Luther was already asleep.
Suddenly, a subordinate of a warlord came running to report, "General, the marshal's alarm has been
ringing continuously. We don't understand what it means."
After speaking, the subordinate respectfully handed over Joyce's personal electronic alarm. The red
light kept flashing, appearing eerie and terrifying.
Darrin was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He muttered, "Oh my God, something happened at
the Warner residence."
As soon as the words fell, Luther rushed out of the sickroom, having heard the commotion outside.
How could he sleep peacefully when he heard that Joyce was injured? It was just a light sleep.
"What happened?" Luther asked urgently.
Darrin's lips trembled, and he said, "It's a diversionary tactic. This is an emergency distress signal sentnovelbin
by Anderson. Something happened at the Warner residence!"
"What!" Luther's vision darkened, as if struck by a thunderbolt. He almost couldn't stand steady.
On the same night, his beloved woman Joyce and all four of his children were experiencing life-
threatening dangers, hanging by a thread. How could he bear it? It must be someone from Athena's
side, taking advantage of their focuson rescuing Alisha, they found an opportunity to attack Anderson.
Oh God, if Anderson fell into Athena's hands again, he couldn't even imagine the consequences.
In the end, he was still too soft-hearted. Considering Christian's face, he temporarily let Athena off the
hook. After all, Christian provided the most crucial information for rescuing Alisha.
Unexpectedly, like a centipede that dies but won't fall, Athena redirected her focus back to Anderson.
This wicked woman deserved to die a thousand times over.
Rescuing Alisha but losing Anderson... Joyce, if she woke up, how desperate she would be.
He didn't want to make Joyce sad again.
"Let's go, we need to hurry back to the Warner residence," Luther exclaimed, and started running.
Darrin followed closely behind him. "But, Mr. Warner, the hospital can't be left unattended. What if their
target turns to the hospital? What should we do?"
"We'll only take three people from the hospital staff with us. Leave the rest here to guard. I'll call
mercenaries now and contact Felix. You drive, and I'll make the arrangements. Also, give Reuben a
call. I'll leave him in charge here. If Alisha wakes up and starts crying, continue administering the
sedative," Luther forced himself to stay calm, organizing his thoughts. He took out his phone, dialing
numbers to contact the mercenaries while rushing out of the hospital at his fastest speed.
"Yes," Darrin used the wireless communicator to instruct the warlord's subordinates to concentrate on
guarding the sterile ICU where Joyce was and the room where Alisha was.
He made another call to Reuben.
After several rings, Reuben finally answered.
Upon hearing what had happened, Reuben was also shocked. He quickly agreed to take charge and
promised to bring in more reinforcements. Once everything was arranged, he would call his people to
strengthen the security.
After making all the arrangements, Darrin drove, pressing the accelerator to the floor, and raced
towards the Warner residence with Luther.
The night was dark and windy, with no streetlights. In places where there were no lights, it was almost
pitch-black, terrifyingly engulfing everything in its heavy darkness.
Before they reached the Warner residence, they could see the lights of the entire building flashing on
and off in the distance. In the dim night, it warned anyone within a hundred miles, making their hearts
tighten with fear.
