He was leaning against the door fra, smiling at everyone.
At the sight of this man, Edward Morgan gasped, his voice trembling as he said, "You... you’re the Ancestor?"
Juno Morgan was so frightened that his heart nearly stopped!
The remaining thirty or so mbers of the Morgan Clan were all equally stunned, their eyes nearly bursting from their sockets!
They never imagined that with such stringent surveillance outside, the Ancestor could still appear here silently!
The crucial point was that the bodyguards and warriors outside seed to have no reaction at all.
It was unclear whether there was an inside traitor, or if those surveillance devices simply couldn’t detect the Ancestor’s presence.
Whatever the case, the Ancestor had now appeared and was standing right in front of everyone.
Edward Morgan knew that the ti for them to fulfill the family mission had co!
Upon realizing this, Edward Morgan didn’t care if the Ancestor responded or not, he imdiately shouted at the top of his lungs, "The Ancestor is here! Fire the cannons! Quickly, damn it, fire so we can be destroyed here along with the Ancestor!"
His voice was hoarse from shouting.
The other Morgan family mbers also showed a resolute expression, as if ready for death.
Yet Lu Li, leaning against the door fra, chuckled lightly, "Go ahead and shout, all of you, shout together, let’s see if anyone cos even if you scream your lungs out."
As soon as these words ca out, Edward Morgan, who had just stood up to shout, imdiately realized sothing and fell back into his chair in shock.
Juno Morgan’s face also turned ashen.
The remaining thirty or so Morgan family mbers were in utter despair.
They were very clear on one thing: the fact that the Ancestor dared let them all shout ant he wasn’t afraid of their voices getting out at all.
That is to say, tonight, they are most likely dood to die!
Sacrifice didn’t scare Edward Morgan, Juno Morgan, and the others.
What they feared was dying in vain, unable to destroy the Ancestor along with them.
Unfortunately, they realized that tonight would indeed be a wasted sacrifice.
This left Edward Morgan, Juno Morgan, and the other thirty or so people utterly powerless.
Clearly, they had arranged so many bodyguard warriors and formidable weapons.
Clearly, they had installed surveillance devices across a radius of several kiloters.
In the end, they couldn’t resist the Ancestor, nor did anyone even notice how he got in.
This was undoubtedly horrifying.
Edward Morgan, Juno Morgan, and the others could foresee that with the Ancestor’s ability, no country in the world could defend against him.
In short, if the Ancestor wanted to kill soone, he definitely could!
Their glorious Morgan family, with over a century of history, was likely to be completely destroyed after tonight!
At this mont, Edward Morgan, Juno Morgan, and the others were filled with regret.
Regret that they had provoked such a powerful existence as the Ancestor.
To the point of bringing an annihilative disaster to the family!
...
Elsewhere.
An experienced counter-surveillance leader was in the monitoring room, directing everyone.
The counter-surveillance leader spoke into the headset, "I’ll say it again, there must be no slips today. Mr. Morgan spent a fortune to hire us to protect his family’s safety, and we made strong comnts to the outside world that if anything happens to Mr. Morgan and his people tonight, it’s not just our reputation at stake but the face of the entire Bald Eagle!"
"Understood!"
"Rest assured."
The voices in the headset responded one after another.
Soone asked, "Boss, do you think the Ancestor will co tonight?"
The leader pondered for a mont and said, "Since the Ancestor appeared in New York, he’s definitely targeting Mr. Morgan here. I feel there’s a high chance he’ll co tonight, but it’s okay, we’ve installed advanced surveillance equipnt over several kiloters around. If there’s the slightest anomaly, we’ll act imdiately, not giving him any chance!"
Everyone responded, "Okay!"
The leader repeated, "Don’t, under any circumstances, let there be even the slightest slip."
This ti they weren’t just protecting the Morgan family, but representing the entire Bald Eagle’s reputation.
If the Ancestor really did sothing to the Morgan family tonight, and they couldn’t stop it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
They would beco the laughing stock of countries worldwide!
Half an hour passed.
The group remained in a state of heightened alert, continuously checking for any unusual situations.
So far, all was calm.
In the monitoring room, the leader asked anxiously, "Have you found anything?"
A warrior lurking outside imdiately responded, "No, nothing has happened."
The leader was genuinely afraid the Ancestor had already infiltrated, "What about the others?"
"Nothing happening on our side either," another bodyguard replied promptly.
The leader said, "Even though nothing has happened right now, we still can’t let our guard down, stay alert for any threats."
Over a hundred people responded, their Spiritual Power even more focused.
The leader kept watching the surveillance footage but indeed found no anomalies.
Initially, seeing that everything was fine, everyone felt sowhat relieved.
However, as ti went on, everyone felt a bit puzzled.
Why were the lights in the eting room still on?
The Morgan family mbers started the eting around eight in the evening, and now it was almost eleven at night.
Hadn’t they finished discussing their strategies in three hours?
Several bodyguards and warriors couldn’t help but decide to go to the eting room to check.
But who would have thought that there was no one in the eting room, as if they just forgot to turn off the lights.
"So the eting ended long ago, and the lights were left on."
"I was wondering how a eting could last three hours, haha."
"How did it end long ago? I didn’t see any Morgan family mbers returning to their respective rooms on the surveillance footage!"
"Huh?"
"What?"
Everyone was suddenly alard and quickly dispatched people to each bedroom to see if the Morgan family mbers were there.
Quickly, they checked every corner of the estate, then they were utterly horrified.
All the mbers of the Morgan family had disappeared completely under their very noses!
At this mont, both the leader and the two hundred bodyguards and warriors felt extrely frustrated.
They had prepared so much equipnt and weapons to counter the Ancestor tonight, yet they didn’t even catch a glimpse of him, and the thirty or so targets they were supposed to protect had vanished.
This was undoubtedly a slap to their faces.
A slap to the face of the entire Bald Eagle!
The disappearance of thirty or so mbers of the Morgan family overnight couldn’t possibly be concealed.
Everyone could imagine that once this incident was revealed tomorrow, it would cause a massive shock throughout the world, resulting in great uproar globally, and... bring imnse disgrace to the Bald Eagle!
However, now was not the ti to worry about disgrace. The leader and his team knew they had an even more daunting task; since the Ancestor had quietly co here and taken thirty or so mbers of the Morgan family, he would most likely head to other locations with Morgan family mbers and capture them all in one go.
They absolutely couldn’t allow such a thing to happen!
This place had already fallen. If other places fell as well, they would not only beco a laughingstock, but also a synonym for incompetence!
The leader acted decisively, imdiately contacting the leaders responsible for protecting other Morgan family mbers, intending to have them prepare for a stronger force to halt the Ancestor’s rampage!
