Chapter 417

    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When Janice woke up, she found herself already back home, carried there by passing vigers. Enraged, she was ready to confront Yvette, but as soon as she reached the entrance of the Jacobs residence, she encountered Soren, whose expression was anything but friendly.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Janice was about to greet him when a single look from Soren made her falter. Trembling, she lowered her head and dared not speak.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Only after Soren had passed did she look up again. She nced at the Jacobs residence, where people were constantlying and going. After some thought, she decided to head home instead.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">made up her mind to wait until Sheldon no longer cared about Yvette, then she would find a way to deal with her.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The entire day, there were peopleing and going from the east room, and it wasn’t until dusk that things finally quieted down. Finally, after an angry shout from Sheldon, the east room wentpletely silent.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At 10 p.m., the moon hung high in the sky, and Dungo Vige was eerily silent. Every house had turned off its lights, leaving no glimmer of light in sight.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The door to Yvette’s room was ajar, and the cold wind whistled, making the door creak eerily in the dark, sending a chill through the night.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Yvette sat in the yard, propping her chin upzily, stifling a yawn with a faint look in her eyes.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The next moment, her gaze shifted to the wall not far away, where she heard some movement. Then, voices from a few people reached her ears.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Among them, Andrew’s voice was notably louder than the rest. “Charles, can you lift the wall.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">your shoulder a bit higher? I can’t reach</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“No, higher still. Emmett, move a little to the side. That’s it! That’s the way! Emmett’s the smart one. Charles, you’re too slow.” Andrew instructed.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I’m up here! Hey guys, hurry up. I’m waiting for you guys on top!” Andrew stood on the wall, hands on his hips, looking quite pleased with himself.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Below the wall, Jeremiah, Emmett, and Charles exchanged helpless looks. If Andrew hadn’t insisted on tagging along, forcing them to take him, they would never have brought him.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jeremiah gave Andrew a cold, indifferent look and spoke in a low voice. “Move over.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Andrew immediately stepped aside. Then, to his astonishment, Jeremiah, Charles, and Emmett each used the wall to climb up in turn. In the blink of an eye, the three of them were standing beside Andrew.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Andrew rubbed his eyes in disbelief. ‘What the fuck… What did I just see? Are they stunt performers? How did they even get up here?‘ he wondered.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Before he could fully process this, Jeremiah and Charles jumped down from the wall into the yard.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Andrew turned to Emmett. “Emmett, Jeremiah and Charles have already gone down.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Emmett calmly nodded. “Yeah, close your eyes. Count to three, then open them.”</font></font>


    Without question, Andrew immediately closed his eyes. He knew Emmett wouldn’t deceive him, though he wasn’t sure what closing his eyes was for.


    Just then, he felt Emmett grab his hand, and before he could count to three, he opened his eyes again to find himself already


    in the yard, having been moved from the wall.


    In the middle of the yard stood Yvette, dressed in all ck, her head tilted slightly, her brow raised, and her eyeszily sweepin


    over the group. Finally, her gazended on Andrew.


    Yvette paused, then pointed at his outfit. “Why is he wearing all white?”


    ‘Does Andrew think he’s not noticeable enough in the dark? Is he trying to be a target? Which idiot wears white clothes to sneak around someone’s house at night?‘ she thought to herself.


    Jeremiah stepped forward, his imposing presence making everyone step back in caution. As he approached Yve slowly. “He thinks it looks cool.”


    he spoke


    proudly lifted his chin. “Yvette, do you like my outfit? It’s custom–made. I’m going to wear it in front of Bonnieter. Wait and watch me make her fall for me.”


    Andrew was incredibly confident that his attire would make any woman fall for him. Next to him, Charles and Emmett exchanged a nce, their eyes twitching slightly.


    Yvette looked at Andrew who was excited, raised an eyebrow, and pressed her lips together. “It’s nice. Just stay away from meter.”


    Upon hearing this, Andrew shook his head firmly. ‘What is she talking about? Being near Yvette gives me so much confidence. With her by my side, nothing is impossible,’ he thought.


    Charles, Jeremiah, and Emmett were all dressed in ck.


    Charles spoke up. “Yvette, how are we proceeding? Jeremiah has prepared the clothing to prevent poisonous insects from burrowing into our skin.


    “Emmett and I already did some reconnaissance. There are three patrol teams, and the shift change just happened, so this is the most rxed moment.”


    Yvette replied coldly, “Jeremiah, you, and I will go directly to Holden’s study to find the secret room. Emmett will stay outside for backup.


    “As for Andrew, two choices. If you change clothes, follow Emmett. If you don’t, stay inside the house and wait for us to


    In the end, Andrew changed into a ck outfit. Emmett had already prepared it, and it fit Andrew perfectly. Emmett knew that Yvette wouldn’t tolerate Andrew’s antics.


    It was clear that only Yvette could manage Andrew, as a single sentence from her made him change clothes without question.


    At 11 p.m. sharp, Yvette, Jeremiah, and Charles seized the opportunity during the shift change to enter Holden’s study Holden had just left to visit Sheldon in the east room.


    Following the position of the book Holden had moved yesterday, Yvette gently shifted it to the left. The next moment, the bookshelf split open in the middle, revealing a long dark passage.


    The darkness stretched out ahead. Yvette and Jeremiah exchanged a brief nce, their eyes shing. Jeremiah whispered, “Let’s go.”


    Charles followed closely behind, and the three of them entered the dark passage. The bookshelf automatically closed, and everything returned to normal.


    Jeremiah switched on the prepared shlight, instantly illuminating the dark, long tunnel. With the faint light, they walked for five minutes before encountering an old door, its surface adorned with intricate patterns that gave it an imposing


    presence.


    looked


    Yvette adjusted her hat, looked at the ancient door, and nodded slightly. In her usual cold tone, she said, “Behind this door should be Holden’s secret. The smell is heavy, and there are plenty of poisonous insects inside.”


    The smell inside was suffocating, unbearable to breathe.


    Jeremiah nodded, his face grave. In a low voice, he said, “There must be at least a hundred poisonous insects in there.” Charles nced at Jeremiah, his gaze deepening. He couldn’t shake the feeling that Jeremiah was more than just a general.


    Yvette raised an eyebrow, speaking indifferently. “We’ll find out soon enough.”


    Charies stepped forward. “Yvette, Jeremiah, let me handle this.”


    cing his hand on the door, Charles exerted only a slight pressure, and the door creaked open.


    The moment the door opened, the overwhelming stench hit them like a wave, stinging their eyes and making it hard to breathe. When Yvette, Jeremiah, and Charles looked inside, their expressions darkened.


    Behind the door was a room about 850 square yards in size, filled with at least a thousandrge jars. Each jar wasrge enough to hold a full–grown man.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Every other jar was empty but filled with blood, already spoiled and putrid, emitting a foul odor.


    In the center of a row of three massive jars, heads poked out from the tops of each one. Only the heads were exposed, their bodies shoved entirely into the jars.


    The heads, with wide–open eyes, were clearly alive but seemed to be under some kind of control. Their eyes were lifeless, devoid of any spark.


    Various poisonous insects, colorful and crawling, infested their skulls. Surrounding them were venomous snakes, their tongues flicking in and out as they hissed.


    Even Charles, who had seen countless gruesome scenes, felt a wave of difort wash over him.


    ‘What in the world is going on here?‘ they all wondered.
