Chapter 224: Chapter 224

Somewhere in the remote corners of Los Altos Hills, just right outside of a luxury mansion with high metal fences around its perimeters and two sets of metal gates on its front and right side. There were many cameras and motion sensors placed on and around the fences. Two small groups of people in camouflage were advancing the front and side gates through the forest, and they stopped when they got to a certain distance from the fences.

 

Then, a delivery van with a big online shopping website logo drove up to the front gate. The van driver got off and pressed the intercom button at the gate.

 

“Who is it? What do you want?” the security guard on the other side of the intercom asked.

 

“Is this the residence of Mr. Vornaux?” the driver asked.

 

“No.”

 

“I got a delivery for him. And here’s some packages for a Miss… Tarnoil and Miss Benxer.”

 

“Get lost.” the security guard directly cut the communication off.

 

The driver pressed the intercom again.

 

“What?!” the security guard’s impatience almost flowed through the speaker.

 

“You’re sure? Vornaux, and Tarnoil, and could you please tell me how to find them? And Miss Benxer.”

 

“Fucking get lost, before you get hurt!”

 

“Vornaux, Tarnoil, Benxer!” the driver said the names loudly again.

 

The intercom went silent, then with two buzzing sounds, both the front and side metal gates sprung open, the motion sensors and hidden cameras were all disabled and disconnected. The delivery van and the two groups of people immediately moved into the perimeter of the mansion.

 

“How long is it gonna last?” a man in a dark red coat approached the delivery van driver and asked.

 

“At least fifteen minutes, enough for everything.” the delivery driver wiped the sweat from his face: “I’ll be just a normal gunman for around five minutes, you guys better be quick.”

 

“It’ll be over well before that.” Emilia Corin walked past these two men with a fully automatic machine gun in her hands and wearing a wireless headphone: “All units, go in now. Be careful of the dogs guarding at the side door. Neutralize them if you must.”

“Remember, Uncle Arthur always travels with two of his closest bodyguards. I am pretty sure both have some kind of superpower. The tall one with a mustache can shoot lightning from his hands.” a young man followed Emilia: “I can try to take one of them out, but I don’t think I will get good shots at both of them.”

 

“Don’t worry Rufus, we’ve got powers for hire.” Emilia Corin said, with the people in suits and jackets behind her splitting up and advancing on the mansion itself from different angles.

 

Rufus Corin, Emilia Corin’s younger cousin from another of her uncles nodded and carried his long rifle with a high precision scope into the mansion. He was also not in the running for anything close to the center of power in the Corin family, until Emilia found and recruited him for his marksmanship.

 

“Bang!” “Bang!” sounds of gunfire emerged from the other side, at the direction of the side gates.

 

“Fuck! They actually opened fire this early? I thought they said they’re good with dogs!?” Emilia Corin swore and rushed towards the mansion: “All of you! Keep up and speed up! They’ll know we’re here soon!”

 

Just when Emilia Corin and the team behind her got to the stairs at the front door of the mansion, a few of the security guards at the second floor started opening fire at them from the windows.

 

Several silver blue energy shields appeared in mid air right in front of these windows and started deflecting and reflecting bullets almost the moment they came out of the muzzles. The bouncing bullets and the huge noise from the clashing bullets on the energy shield instantly drew the shooters back into the back of the windows.

 

“Die!” a man in a dark green suit waved his hands and crystalized green energy spikes appeared out of thin air and shot towards the windows. They penetrated the windows made of bulletproof glass and walls with metal plates inside, violently impaling and shredding and the shooters behind them.

 

Another man with bullet belts wrapped around his torso threw two grenades through the broken windows, and the room from which the shooters fired their guns at Emilia Corin and her team was instantly lit up in fire.

 

“Who dared attack a Corin residence!?” a loud roar came from the mansion as it was being attacked from two fronts, a middle aged man in a suit of fancy light blue armour burst through the ceiling of the mansion with a shield and a scepter in his hands, and looked down on all those men invading the mansion from the roof.

 

Rufus Corin opened fire at the man from the top of a tree in the area. His high caliber bullet shot through the air aiming straight at the middle aged man. But the man just simply waved his scepter, and the bullet was smashed into broken pieces of metal in the air.

 

“Rufus, Emilia.” the middle aged man recognized two members of the Corin family that were among the attackers: “Have you no shame? Have you no honor? How dare you attack the residence of an elder, and a center of operation for the family?!”

 

“Attack!” Emilia Corin did not respond at all, she just yelled her orders at the team around and behind her.

 

Several of the attackers brought by Emilia Corin retargeted their gunfire at the man in a suit of armour, who leapt from the roof downward at Emilia Corin with his shield in front of him. All those bullets aiming at him either missed or were deflected by this shield and did not break his form in any way. Yet when this man raised his head from behind the shield and swung his scepter downward at the ground, he noticed that Emilia Corin already moved further away from him than he’d expected.

 

When the scepter hit the earth and grass and released a ring of shockwave that tore through the ground in its close proximity, this middle aged man saw something lit up in Emilia’s pupils, which then faded away in less than half a second.
