Chapter 4830
As he pondered to himself, Darryl noticed that Sheniqua had forgotten to lock the door. He
slipped out quietly.
Suddenly, ten figures clad in black could be seen trying to pass over the walls. They had
their faces covered, and it was not difficult to tell that they were bandits.
"Argh!"
At the sight of those people, Sheniqua let out a piercing scream. However, before she
could shout for help, she had been captured and muffled by the bandits. The group leader
growled ferociously, "Don't make another sound, or I'm going to kill you."
As he spoke, he rested his long sword on Sheniqua's neck. The blade was ice cold, making
Sheniqua tremble in fear as her face paled.
Darryl frowned to himself. 'Motherf*cker. Was this a robbery?’
Just then, the bandits discovered Darryl as well. They rushed over, tying his hands up.
At the same time, cries blared out from the great hall at the Stanford mansion as they
broke out in chaos.
"There's been a bandit attack!" "Please send help!"
Just then, the head of the bandits spoke up in an icy voice. "Bring them all to the front."

in the great hall.
Gerald could not stop hollering at the top of his voice despite having his arms and feet
bound. "You've got quite some nerve! Do you know where you are? This is the Stanford
household of the Hidden Dragon Town. How dare you break in?"
As the head butler, Gerald was used to speaking brashly.
One of the bandits flared up in anger as he roared back, "Motherf*cker! It's your family
we're robbing! One more sound out of you, and I'll have your head."
As the words rang through the air, a slap landed harshly on Gerald's face.
Gerald was only angered even further by the blow. He was just about to shout again when
more than ten bandits swaggered in, led by a huge man.
All that could be seen was that the man wore a white leopard skin around his form. He was
blind in one eye, and a long scar ran down his face. He was a terrifying sight.
Whew...
At the sight of the man, everyone in the great hall, except for Darryl, could not help but
shudder in fear.
The man smiled, swaggering over to a chair as he addressed Old Master Stanford. "You
must be Old Master Stanford. I'm Herod Houllier of the Snow Wolf Mountain. I'm sure
you've heard of me. I've come because I heard that this house holds precious treasure.
You'll save us a lot of time if you hand it over."
Damn, Herod Houllier...
Everyone in the hall could not help but gasp in fear.
The Snow Wolf Mountain was a little under a hundred li away from the Hidden Dragon
Town. Its location was rather complex, and it was inhabited by a group of bandits whose
captain went by the name Herod Houllier.
The man was known for being impossibly ruthless when killing people, and he was nothing
but evil. The authorities had tried to take them down several times, but they never
succeeded. Thus, Herod grew even more lawless.
What was most unexpected was that Herod had set his sights on the Stanford family that
night.
Old Master Stanford had seen much of the world, and he did not fear Herod one bit in his
presence. He said lightly, "The Stanfords have no such thing. I'm afraid you've heard false
news."
Hoho.

way if I wasn't sure?"
As he spoke, he waved a hand, and two bandits immediately appeared with a breathtaking
figure in tow.
It was Selina.
The bandits in the room could not help but gasp.
Selina was clad in a long white dress made of silk, highlighting her breathtaking figure and
charming features. She carried herself like a piece of fine jade-unblemished and
unmarked. She looked slightly pale from her illness, but she was still a phenomenal
beauty.
'F*ck me!'
Just then, even Darryl could not help but stare in awe. He had never expected the
Stanfords' daughter to be so beautiful. What a shame she was laden with a terrible illness.
"Old Master Stanford!"
Just then, Herod withdrew a dagger from his belt as he slashed the air in front of Selina's
face with an evil smile on his face.
"I heard it's your daughter's big day tomorrow. Who do you think will take after all your
wealth tomorrow if I were to kill her now?"
