The scorching sunlight still blanketed the Overmas family mansion, everyone busy with their own activities.
Outside the mansion, under the direct heat of the sun, only the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects could be heard.
But that silence was shattered by the sound of an explosion coming from the corridor near the warehouse.
BOOM!
Everyone froze for a moment, but the robed figures wearing masks immediately rushed toward the source of the explosion, gathering from various corners of the mansion.
One of them was a man wearing a white mask. On his mask, only three lines were carved where the eyes and mouth should be, while his black hood hid the color of his hair.
He shouted orders to the others.
"Don't let the servants get close! Especially Julian Overmas!"
His team members answered in unison.
"Yes, Captain!"
The masked captain looked at the black smoke billowing upward as he moved toward the back warehouse corridor.
He clicked his tongue.
