Chapter 791 UNEXPECTED (OR MAYBE EXPECTED) EVENTS

  LUO YAN looked out from the corner he’s hiding and stared at the master bedroom. Yes, he was doing a stake out. At an ungodly hour, if he might add. It’s because of the things that William Harcourt said during dinner.

Signing a new will that would leave all his wealth to Sorcha Harcourt while leaving nothing to his children and even saying that he would do so tomorrow, it’s like inviting people to kill him. It’s like saying, ‘hey, I will sign a document tomorrow that will cut you off with my money, are you not going to do anything about it?’.

It’s simply just asking people, particularly his children, to kill him. Luo Yan couldn’t truly understand what pushed the other to say that. But he could tell that the old man was planning something. At the expense of his life no less. 

So, he was here to see who would enter the room and try something. Maybe he could stop the tragedy that was sure to unfold. 

But he had been standing here for about two hours already and nothing was happening yet. He was even starting to wonder if his initial suspicion was wrong. Because of the conversion of time inside this ‘world’, Luo Yan truly felt like he had been awake for more than 12 hours. Now, he just wanted to sleep on a soft, fluffy bed.

He closed his eyes slowly. Then, he suddenly felt his head hobbled off. He quickly opened his eyes. Then, he realized that he had nodded off for a couple of minutes. He bit his inner cheek to keep himself awake and looked at the direction of the master’s bedroom.

It was then that he saw a shadow skulking around. It was not so far from the bedroom. In fact, it looked like it just came from that direction. It was moving and was about to turn to the corner where he was hiding. The lights in the hallway were dim, so he couldn’t exactly tell who it was. But based on the shape of the shadow, it was a woman.

The other was nearing his location. If he stepped back a bit, the woman would probably would pass him by and he could see what she looked like. 

He was just about to do that when a loud explosion was heard from the outside. The window was just right behind him, it was facing the road down the mountain. So, he had a clear view of where the explosion was. In fact, it was not just an explosion but a series of explosions. 

It destroyed the trail that was leading up to the manor. Not only that, but also the nearby surroundings. Because the manor was near the top of the mountain, such explosion caused the foundation of the house to shake. 

This shaking made Luo Yan to lose his balance. So, instead of stepping back as he planned he would, he stepped forward. And it was at that moment that he came face to face with the woman supposedly running to his direction. 

Because of this, he finally had a good look of the woman. She was wearing a flimsy nightgown with her blond curls spread behind her back. Her appearance was not the most surprising thing, it’s the expression on her face. Or rather, the lack of it. 

But that only lasted for a few seconds. The moment she saw him, a surprised look crossed her face. 

”Miss Deveraux,” Luo Yan called. “You—”

He wasn’t able to finish what he’s saying because he saw something ahead. There was smoke. And it’s coming from inside the master’s bedroom. He suddenly had a bad hunch.

”Stay here,” he said to Sofia before rushing towards the master’s bedroom. 

He held the knob to open the door but quickly let go because of the hot temperature. Although it’s not too much that his hand would be burnt, it was still hot enough for his palm to immediately turn red. So, he did the next best thing, he kicked the door.

To his surprise, it opened quite easily. Meaning the door wasn’t locked. He didn’t have time to delve too much into that because his attention was caught by the burning body on the bed. 

Luo Yan didn’t think much. He just directly ran towards the bathroom. He had many things running through his mind right now but the most important one was to put off that fire before it spread.

He saw a basin inside and filled it with water. Then, he ran back to the room and poured the water on the burning body. He was about to run back to the bathroom when he heard a horrified gasp from the door. He glanced back and saw Sofia looking at the burning corpse with a shocked expression on her face. 

”Oh my God! Is that- is that–?”

”Not now, Miss Deveraux,” he said. 

”W-wait- I want to help!” Sofia said, stopping him once again from running to the bathroom.

”Then move faster!” he shouted, annoyed, before finally running back to the bathroom. 

He heard movement from behind and knew that it was Sofia. From his peripheral vision, he saw her filling another basin. Once his basin was filled, he ran to the room again. Sofia was close behind. 

The two of them continuously did this for a couple of times, Luo Yan didn’t even know how many. He just continuously did so until the fire was finally put out. 

He let go of the basin. He finally had time to catch his breath. His clothes were soaked in sweat and water as well. Now that he accomplished on stopping the fire, the smell of cooked meat wafted in the air. If not for the fact that he knew that it was a human corpse, he might have thought that it was pork or beef. Just the thought of it made his stomach churn. 

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and once he opened them, he finally had the chance to observe the burned corpse.
