nChapter 130: Nightfall

nTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

nNight soon fell.

nPerhaps to match the solemnity of the night, the sky was starless and heavy clouds eclipsed the moon.

nThe curtain of darkness smothered the people, suffocating them.

nFor some reasons, the residential area suddenly lost electricity.

nOther than the few dim emergency street lights, the world was plunged into darkness.

nThe atmosphere was chillingly eerie as if the night could tell blood was going to be spilt.

nThere was not even a stray cat patrolling the sprawling residential area.

nThere were, however, several suspicious shadows heading towards the Xia Family's Villa…

nThey soundlessly broke down the villa's front door and snuck into the living room. They intended to go up the stairs to search for the building's inhabitants.

nSuddenly the sound of a scratch rang out.

nSomeone lit a match…

nThe few spooked figures looked towards the weak source of light. The match was illuminating a slender hand and a lithe figure that was lounging on the sofa.

nThe light of the match was reflected in a pair of dark eyes that were staring right at them. There was no fear or surprise in the eyes, only vindication and austerity.

nThe sudden eye contact made the few shadows jump.

nIn that moment, they were assaulted by a deep sense of foreboding. Their plan appeared to have failed.

nHowever, the leader among them, a man suddenly leaped towards Xinghe. He said no words but viciousness was flashing in his eyes.

nXinghe put out the match with a puff.

nThe sudden darkness gave the man a temporary daze.

nPreviously, he could roughly tell Xinghe's location but without any source of light, he was at a loss.

nIt was the same for his accomplices.

nThis brief moment of vulnerability gave the hiding men the opening they needed. A few large men wearing night-vision goggles leaped into action and took out the sneaking bunch in just minutes.

nXinghe pulled out another match and lit the candle in her hand.

nBrandishing the candle, she walked towards the unconscious pile of men. There were three of them in total.

n

"Sis, they're all tied up!

" Xia Zhi said excitedly as he stood up.

nThe few people had been securely tied up by Xia Zhi, Xiao Mo, and the four bodyguards Mubai sent over.

nIf they woke up now, they wouldn't be able to move.

nXinghe nodded satisfactorily.

"Bring them away first lest they spook our next guest.

"

n

"Yes!

"

nThe three men were quickly stowed away. Xia Zhi and the gang went back into hiding.

nXinghe sat back down on the sofa. She left the lit candle on the table counter beside her. She then picked up a book and started flipping through it leisurely.

nSometime later, a pair of scary eyes was observing her from outside the window.

nRealizing she still had the peace of mind to read by the candlelight, the person licked his lips satisfactorily.

nVery soon, he was going to turn her leisure into the worst nightmare she'd ever had!

nThe door was, again, soundlessly opened. A tall, dark-skinned man who was wearing a baseball cap slithered across the villa's entrance.

nHis footsteps inaudibly landed on the floor but the moment he opened the door, a cold draft wafted in.

nThe candle fire flicked slightly.

nXinghe's eyes widened minutely and she asked without turning her head,

"Zhi, is that you? Why are you home so late?

"
