Chapter 66

Chapter 66 This time, Emma immediately rushed to the Hall family’s home.

Along the way, Josiah retrieved all the surveillance footage for her.

As expected, the hospital’s surveillance footage had all been tampered with, and nothing could be found.

Emma thought, “Brad is busy dealing with the attack on his company’s financial systems and Information infrastructure that Vere carried out during the day, leaving him no time to bother with Liam’s affairs. So, the most suspicious person is Elsie!!

Josiah had already found out that Elsie met with someone special after leaving the hospital.

The other party was a well known thug in the black market who often committed crimes in groups. It was no wonder that Levi was tricked.

In the car, Levi asked, “Mrs. Hall, are you sure it’s Mrs. Elsie? Otherwise, she’ll surely make a big deal out of it.”

Unknowingly, he had grown to trust Emma immensely.

Emma sped to the Hall family’s villa. Her voice was very cold as she said, “Wasn’t it said that Simon recently went to Ralbridge?

If she dares to make a big deal out of things, we can also deal with her directly!”

With that said, Emma got out of the car and said, “Stay here and don’t go anywhere. I’ll be back once I get some information.”

“Got it,” Levi said.

Having witnessed Emma’s abilities, Levi fully cooperated with her.

As soon as Emma barged into the courtyard of the Hall family’s villa, many bodyguards blocked her, Elsie’s bodyguards lacked fighting skills. They were all trained in large groups by a bodyguard company, looking impressive but lacking real combat skills. Emma quickly knocked all of them down and directly rushed upstairs.

Upstairs, Elsie was sitting in the bedroom, applying a facial mask while facing the mirror.

Suddenly, she saw an additional face in the mirror. She was so frightened that she cried out, “Ahhh!”

Emma walked silently like a ghost.

Elsie’s complexion was pale with fright. She said, “Wh–what are you doing? Someone... Ah!”

“Don’t bother shouting.” Emma said. “I’ve knocked down all the people in your home.”

Her attractive eyes were now bloodshot.

“I’ll only ask you once,” she said. “Where is Liam?”

“H–how would I know?” Elsie said. “Get out of here! Otherwise, I’ll call the police!”

Emma sneered.

She thought, ‘If my hiding the identity of Slox is for Liam’s sake, and now that Liam is missing, there’s no point in hiding anything anymore!”

“Go ahead and try calling the police,” she said.

Chapter 66 As Emma spoke, a cold blade extended from her palm, and she approached Elsie slowly.

Like a ghostly figure, she enunciated each word as she said, “I’ve cut off all the signals in the vicinity of your place. Trying to play tricks under my nose. Do you know who I am?”

“Get away from me, you lunatic,” Elsie said. “Hurry up and get away from me!”

Elsie had been cornered by the knife. She was completely flustered.

It was indeed her who hired someone to take Liam away.

But it did not occur to her that Emma would be so capable. Not only did Emma knock down all her bodyguards, but she also barged into her house.

Despite her thorough planning, Elsie didn’t anticipate that she would find herself in a situation where Emma had control over her.

She desperately made a call.

But no matter how many times she tried, the call couldn’t be connected.

“Wh–what are you trying to do?” she said. “I’m telling you. Don’t come over!”

Emma sneered as she held the knife. Her smile sent shivers down one’s spine, and it was extremely gloomy.

“I want to know where Liam is!” she said. “Otherwise, I’ll kill you right now!

She thought, ‘Now that I was reborn, Liam is my only obsession! I’ve taken revenge against Aria and Elijah. Liam sacrificed his life to save me in my previous life. If anyone harms him in this life, I’ll protect him, even if it means sacrificing my life!‘

“I don’t know,” Elsie said. “I don’t know. Please don’t... Ahl Elsie screamed, feeling a sharp pain in her mouth, The taste of blood filled her mouth. Warm liquid trickled down from the corners of her lips.

“What’s the point of keeping a mouth that won’t speak the truth?” Emma said.

She stared at her with a sense of superiority. Elsie seemed unable to believe that Emma actually dared to lay hands on her.

“Mm, Emma, you’ll surely be dead meat,” she said.

“You harmed Liam’s legs,” Emma said, “It’s only right that I cut off your tongue.”

“No!” Elsie screamed in agony with a shrill voice.

She was completely terrified. “I’ll tell you,” she said. “I’ll tell you! Wat–Water...

With the blade still in her mouth, Elsie muttered a few syllables in a daze. She then fainted from fright.

Emma frowned, withdrew the knife, and kicked her aside.

Although Elsie didn’t finish talking, Emma thought of a place.

It was Watery Garden.

Chapter 66 Emma and Levi sped all the way there. As they approached Watery Garden, they could already see towering flames.

Levi realized something was terribly wrong. “They want to burn Mr. Hall to death!” he said.

Emma floored the accelerator, her expression grave.

Watery Garden was a standalone villa on the mountain. There were very few residents around.

Therefore, even though the black smoke had reached the sky, no one had informed the fire department.

Aher getting out of the car, she saw traces of human activity on the ground.

Other than footprints, there were also fragments of hospital bandages.

“Liam is here!‘ she thought.

“Levi, take the hose,” she said. “I’ll go in and save him.”

Emma found the villa’s built–in firefighting equipment for Levi. As she spoke, she rushed in.

But just then, she sensed the person behind her trembling slightly.

“What’s wrong?” Emma asked sharply.

Levi said, “Mrs. Hall... there’s a gas leak, and there’s going to be an explosion soon...

He was a capable person who worked for Liam, but he was more adept at using his intellect.

In life–and–death situations like this, it was usually members of Team Thunder who accompanied Liam into battles Levi was not a professional. He did not have a strong mental fortitude.

Such a situation made him physically unable to overcome it.

But if he could not hold the hose well, Emma would die with Liam after she went in.

Emma said nothing. She held the fire hose and pulled Levi inside.

“Stand here and hold it steady!” she said. “This is a safe area! As long as you hold the hose steady, we won’t die.”

She could sense that Levi was still trembling.

The flames rose high into the sky, and waves of heat swept over them. It looked as though the villa could explode at any moment.

He tried his best to calm himself down, but his physical reaction betrayed his inner fear.

Emma pursed her lips and said, “I’m right in front of you. Even if it means dying, I’ll die in front of you. What is there to be afraid of?”

“Alright,” Levi said. “I’m not afraid...”

His eyes welled up with tears.

Even though the fire was raging, the words that Emma spoke earlier significantly uplifted Levi.

He thought, ‘What have I done to deserve such trust from Mrs. Hall... Not only does Mrs. Hall not blame me for my negligence, but she also 3/4 Chapter 66 trusts me this much... At this moment, even if I were to be blown up, I would willingly accept it‘

Levi held the hose steady and immediately carved out a path through the sea of flames for Emma.

With a swift movement, Emma charged into the flames.

Watery Garden villa was huge.

There were a total of five floors and five to six rooms.

Emma had to search room by room to find Liam.

By the time she searched the third room, the fire was already unstoppable..

Black smoke could suffocate her at any moment. Once she collapsed, she and Liam would not survive.

Emma searched the second room and the third room but did not find Liam.

With each floor she ascended, the flames grew fiercer.

There were a few times when she was almost burned. Fortunately, Levi’s hose cleared a path for her, allowing her to persevere.

Just then, she suddenly remembered the spot where she lay when she died in her previous life.

She suddenly remembered that she had overlooked a place ‘The basement!” she thought.

Emma searched her way through according to her vague memory, Sure enough, the door of a locked room in the basement had fallen off. It was also the place where the flames were the most concentrated.

“Liam!” she called out.

She saw Liam lying quietly in the sea of fire.

Restraining the fear of fire that was ingrained in her from her previous life, she rushed toward him.
