Late at night, Andrew sat in the study of his house overseas.
From the courtyard came the sound of soft rustling noises.
About ten minutes later, Barton returned to the room and reported, "Sir, everything's been taken care of."
"Good work on them. They went through all that trouble just to find this place, and in the end, they came up empty," Andrew said casually, "Send them back and show them that no one gets into the Potter Mansion and this house as well."
"Understood." Barton quickly left.
Several corpses were scattered about in the courtyard.
At his signal, some hidden guards revealed themselves and dragged the bodies away.
In no time, the courtyard was cleaned up, leaving no sign of anything.
Andrew looked thoughtfully at a phoenix emblem on his desk.
After a while, Barton returned and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Houston are overseas right now. They don't seem to plan on going back anytime soon. What if..."
Andrew brushed it off. "I never told anyone about this place. They won't be able to find it. Besides, they're here to investigate the Illuminati, not me."
"Should we help them from behind the scenes?"
"Drake has already told them what they need to know. There's no need to worry about the rest."
Andrew glanced again at the phoenix symbol and tapped on the desk.
As if something had just occurred to him, he looked up and asked, "How do things go with Fermin?"
He locked the car door and went through the gates, smelling a faint scent of blood in the air.
To anyone less sensitive, it would have been undetectable.
Fermin went on alert, realizing there had been a violent struggle not long ago.
After entering the house, he studied the layout and compared it with that of the Potter Mansion.
Garland's memories had been retained, enabling him to notice the similarity.
He knew the structure of the Potter Mansion from the inside out. To put it plainly, that place was a massive armory, with surveillance cameras everywhere.
He also knew about the existence of a special force that was never seen in public. But once the security system was activated, these people would go into action.
