Henry was cautious to the extreme. He had his entire body covered and stopped often, scanning his surroundings for any sign of danger.
Yet, no matter how careful he was, there was no escape once Andrew set his sights on him.
What puzzled Andrew was that Henry's route was identical to his own earlier path, straight toward the McDaniel family chapel.
Andrew had already searched that place and found nothing. Nonetheless, he pushed the doubt down and continued to shadow Henry. Eric, though equally confused, said nothing once he saw that Andrew was not stopping.
After about ten minutes, Henry successfully entered the McDaniel family chapel. However, as soon as he went in, he hurriedly retreated, as if encountering some unexpected situation.
The two rows of candles at the chapel entrance flickered in the wind. Andrew and Eric, hidden in the attic across from them, exchanged glances.
This was awkward.
Henry had retreated so quickly that he was now hiding right below them. If Andrew wanted to, he could even launch a sneak attack and kill the man right now.
Meanwhile, Henry leaned against a pillar, holding his breath and peering intently into the chapel. He had no faintest clue that Andrew and Eric were right above him.
Inside, the chapel glowed with the light of hundreds of candles. When the breeze swept through, the flames swayed together, casting long shadows.
A figure appeared before the McDaniel ancestral photos. He lit three candles and placed them on the altar.
Eric silently mouthed words to Andrew, who immediately understood.
This person wore expensive clothes and had an imposing bearing, with two mustaches trimmed very precisely. It was Nicholas, head of the McDaniel family and tenth on the Titan List.
"Ancestors, please watch over us!" Nicholas spoke in a low voice without trying to suppress his volume much. This was the McDaniel family chapel, the most important place in the McDaniel family. Ordinary people were not qualified to come here, so Nicholas did not try to disguise his voice at all.
