39 Chapter 39: Dream

His father nodded in agreement; his eyes filled with worry. "He's telling the truth, my dear. We were innocent bystanders."

Tears welled up in Wang Feng's mother's eyes as she looked at them with a mix of fear and love.

Her voice quivered as she said, "All I ask is for both of you to return home safely. Remember that I am waiting for you, always."

Moved by her words, Wang Feng and his father swallowed hard, their throats constricted with emotion.

They both nodded, while Wang Feng voices choked, "I promise, Mother."

Province Xth

News of the market incident spread like wildfire throughout Province Xth, engulfing the region in a sense of unease and apprehension.

At 8:00 p.m., Sam, who had just finished his own dinner, sat in front of the television, his heart heavy with an indescribable sense of foreboding.

He watched the news coverage of the chaos in Province Xth, a knot forming in the pit of his stomach.

After a brief exchange with the other members of the villa, Sam retreated to his room, exhaustion weighing heavily upon him.

As he laid on his bed, his mind plagued by the unsettling feeling, he murmured to himself, "Neo, cancel today's chaos training."

[Understood, host], Neo replied dutifully.

With that, Sam succumbed to sleep, his mind and body seeking respite before the school trip scheduled for the following day. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

....

In the grand villa, a group of concerned individuals gathered on the ground floor.

They looked to the butler, their eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of trepidation.

The butler, taking a deep breath to steady himself, surveyed the room before addressing the assembled guests.

"I have called you all here for two crucial reasons," he began.

The group leaned in, their attention fully captured by the butler's words, their senses heightened.

"You have undoubtedly heard about the chaos unfolding in Province Xth.

The cult's actions have thrown the region into disarray, and even the Federation is struggling to contain them."

A murmur of concern rippled through the room, everyone realizing the gravity of the situation.

The butler continued, his voice filled with a sense of urgency, "The second reason for this gathering is to implore you all to exercise utmost caution. Forces are at play, and they may seize this opportunity to wreak havoc. The events that transpired with the Xu Family a decade ago serve as a haunting reminder."

The members of the villa, except for Zhou Wen and Zhu Zhen, gasped audibly, their faces paling at the mention of the Xu Family tragedy.

"Is the situation truly that dire?" they asked, their voices tinged with disbelief.

The butler, his expression tinged with helplessness, replied gravely, "It is far worse than what meets the eye."

A collective shudder ran through the room, the gravity of the situation sinking in.

The butler continued, his voice resolute, "Zhou Wen, your primary duty is to protect the young master."

He then turned to Zhu Zhen and instructed, "Your responsibility is to oversee the security of the estate and gather any pertinent information regarding the situation in Province Xth."

Duties were assigned and distributed among the trusted members of the villa, each individual solemnly accepting their role in the face of impending danger.

.....

The clock struck midnight, casting an eerie glow over the silent streets of <nulli>Province Xth.

In a concealed basement beneath a luxurious villa, members of the Devil's cult congregated, their dark intentions hidden beneath a veneer of opulence.

A figure entered through a secret passageway, falling to their knees before the leader.

Their voice quivered as they delivered the news, "Leader, our attempt to eliminate the Ice Guild's daughter has failed."

The leader, savoring a glass of blood, clenched his hand in a fit of rage, causing the glass to shatter into a thousand shards.

Despite the turmoil within, his voice remained eerily calm as he commanded, "Tell me everything."

The informant, sensing the leader's seething anger, recounted the events that unfolded at the market, holding nothing back.

Listening intently, the leader's calm facade cracked, his fury boiling over.

"Who dares to meddle in our plans at the eleventh hour?" he bellowed; his fist clenched tightly.

Trembling, the informant revealed, "Leader, it was Wang Xiao, the leader of the Federation's criminal department."

A sinister smile crept across the leader's face, his eyes narrowing with malice. "If I cannot exact vengeance on him directly, I shall target his son," he hissed.

With a commanding gaze, the leader ordered, "Go, add Wang Xiao's name to our list."

"Understood, leader," the informant replied, their voice trembling with trepidation.

Province Xth

In the dimly lit room of the sprawling villa, a young boy lay in deep slumber, his face twisted in pain as if tormented by unseen demons.

Abruptly, his eyes snapped open, jolting him from his restless slumber.

"What?" he exclaimed, his voice filled with confusion and fervor.

Sam, still groggy from his interrupted sleep, massaged his temples, desperately trying to hold onto every fragment of his dream.

Seeking solace from the disorienting haze, Sam made his way to the bathroom.

The sound of running water filled the air as he splashed cold water on his face, instantly banishing the remnants of sleepiness.

As he stared at his reflection in the mirror, anxiety etched itself onto his pale, crystal-clear complexion.

He knew that something important had transpired in his dream, and he needed to remember every detail.

Returning to his room, Sam calmed his racing mind and reached for a notebook.

With a determined focus, he opened it to a fresh page and began to document the contents of his dream.

First and foremost, the surroundings in his dream confirmed that the events had taken place in Province Xth.

A burning villa stood at the center of it all, with a man's voice uttering the name "Carey" - the very name of the torched villa.

Sam's memory faltered, but he managed to capture the essence of what he had heard.

Next, he vividly recalled high-ranking individuals attempting to besiege a butler, their intentions clear - they sought his demise.

Strangely, the butler seemed unperturbed, his eyes filled with an unexpected sense of relief.
