Chapter 914 We Must Go Together
At least a few hundred people were hovering at the entrance of the manor, and everyone had weapons in their hands. As for the other few exits, they didn't even think about it, because the guards there must be even stricter. Breaking in was definitely not an option.
August gently put down Poch, observed the situation, and said in a deep voice. I'll go to distract them."
Lucia grabbed August's arm, her eyes showing concern, No, we must go together.”
They didn't come together easily, and Lucia was definitely not willing to let August risk his life again Plus, after what happened at the wedding. Marlena was gonna be even more strict with August, and it would be even harder for him to get out.
August took Lucia's hand and kissed her on the back. It's the only way. Marlena wants me the most now. She won't do anything to me."
Indeed, Marlena had done so much just for keeping August with her. Letting him attract the attention of the enemy was the best choice. Whether it was Lucia or Daryl, Marlena would certainly not let them go if she got them. But for August, even if he was caught by her, Marlena would not kill him. As for how to leave here, August could only play it by ear.
The Smith Manor was much bigger than they thought, and the route was also very complicated. If it was not for Ryan leading the way, they might be lost in this huge manor. However, this also brought them some benefits. The bigger the place, the less likely Marlena would catch them. And Ryan took them down the back roads. Most of what they passed was gardens, which was lushly planted and hidden. Ryan, who had been roaming the manor for years, probably knew it better than Marlena, the present owner.
In Ryan's lead, they spent less than ten minutes to come to a certain corner of the manor. Here seemed to be neglected and was overgrown with weeds. In the middle of the place was located a small house, which was crawling with creepers and looked very desolate. It was fair to say it was a haunted house. Lucia was a little confused. The Smith Manor was bigger, but there must be someone to take care of here. She didn't know why it was like this here.
But a mixed emotion flashed on Ryan's childish face when they arrived here. And his two eyebrows deeply wrinkled. Lucia couldn't get what the emotion was. It seemed to be nostalgia, but it also seemed to be sadness. As if sensing something was wrong with Ryan's mood, no one spoke for a moment, but silently followed behind Ryan. Ryan walked to the house that looked likely to be haunted, reached out and when he pushed open the door, dust was flying in his face.
