In the living room, several rows of people were kneeling, all tightly bound with their hands tied behind their backs and their feet bound with ropes.
Felix hadn't seen Johnie for a while, his half-brother from a different mother who had once coveted everything he had. Unfortunately, he couldn't defeat Fox in the Saunders family, gradually losing his position in front of Reese. Now, even he had been bound and knocked unconscious, lying on the ground with his hands and feet tied. Blood oozed from his forehead, clearly indicating a fierce struggle.
Felix could guess that it must have been Fox who tricked Johnie into coming here, planning to capture them all today. This was the collusion between Fox and Seren.
Carlo was the first to notice Felix and Luther. He shouted in fear, "Mr. Saunders, Mr. Warner, run! Don't come here, it's a trap! They have taken control of this place."
Before he could finish his words, a black-clad figure fiercely struck Carlo's neck from behind. "You damn fool, spreading nonsense. Shut up!" With a single blow, Carlo lost consciousness and fell to the ground, motionless.
Felix grew angry and took a step forward, but Luther quickly grabbed him. "Don't be impulsive, let's assess the situation first."
Luther pointed in the direction of Reese, saying, "Reese seems to have passed out."
Indeed, Reese had already fainted from the anger earlier, but the commotion in the living room had awakened him. He was now tied to the mahogany chair where he usually sat, unable to move. Despite his advanced age, he still exuded a fierce aura. Even in such a desperate situation, he refused to abandon the dignity of the Saunders family.
Reese opened his eyes and squinted when he saw Felix return. "Felix, you came just in time. Show them what you're made of and let them know that I, Reese, still have a capable son who is not easy to mess with!"
Finally, Felix shouted, "Dad, don't move, don't get worked up. Watch out for high blood pressure. Leave this to me."
Reese nodded and looked around. "Why haven't I seen that bastard Fox?"
As if realizing something, Reese suddenly reacted. "So it was that despicable Fox who has been deceiving me all these years."
Bride glanced at her brother Westbrook, who was also bound on the ground. Westbrook had been scared unconscious earlier and now lay there with closed eyes and tense facial expression. Since being slapped by the man in black, Bride didn't dare to speak anymore. Even when she saw Felix enter, she didn't dare to make a sound.
At that moment, she desperately made eye contact with Felix and kept looking back.
Following Bride's gaze, Luther looked towards the temporary meeting room at the back of the living room. He leaned close to Felix's ear and said, "I think Seren and the others must be hiding in that room. Let's not act yet to avoid falling into a trap."
Felix nodded. "I know. Even if we go untie them now and rescue a few people, it won't make a difference."
Bride breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Felix didn't fall for it. Then she forcefully kicked Westbrook with her foot.
