CHAPTER 1221: CHAPTER 1221: THREE DEMANDS (PART 3)

Stepping up the stairs, the tall man in the lead reached into his pocket and took out a folded piece of paper, handing it over to the bodyguard in front.

"By order of General Barton, we’ve come to take away all the family members of the General."

The bodyguard, a bit puzzled, raised his face and reached out to take the paper, unfolding it in his hands.

The paper was blank, with no writing on it. Realizing something was wrong, he quickly raised his face, but before he could see what was happening, he felt a cold sensation on his neck as a sharp dagger had already slit his throat.

Raising a hand, he pushed the body aside. The tall man glanced sideways at his companion. As he killed the bodyguard in front of him, his companion had already taken care of another bodyguard who had approached.

The area before the main door was already under their control.

"The main entrance is secured, how about you?"

"Ready to infiltrate."

A voice from his companion immediately came through the wireless earpiece.

While the two parked in front, four identical figures had already slipped into the back of the General Residence like phantoms.

These people were exactly members of the Rose Dark Stabs.

Of course, only some of them.

Huangfu Jue had long assigned different tasks for them, and their mission was—to safely take away these family members who had been placed under house arrest.

The tall man raised his wrist to check his watch, then ordered in a deep voice.

"Action!"

With his command, those who had been waiting immediately sprang into action, breaking through windows and infiltrating from the windows on the second and third floors.

The tall man also drew a gun, striding into the living room.

At this moment, several bodyguards resting in the living room heard noises from upstairs and were shocked as they stood up from the sofa. Hearing footsteps behind them, they instinctively turned their heads without raising their guns.

The tall man and his companion had already raised their guns and unceremoniously pulled the triggers.

Bullets whizzed out, swiftly killing the bodyguards in the living room.

Meanwhile, the same thing was happening on the second and third floors. The soldiers patrolling the corridors saw intruders and immediately shouted and drew their guns.

However, in terms of skill and marksmanship, they were far inferior to these Rose Dark Stabs, the subordinates personally trained by Huangfu Jue.

A slight miss could result in a huge error, not to mention, the gap was already significant.

Naturally, there was no chance for survival.

In less than ten minutes, the entire General Residence was under the control of the six of them.

Inside the rooms, the family members of the Northwest officials who had been held under house arrest were terrified by the gunfire outside. They screamed, clutching their children tightly and huddling together with their relatives and friends.

A brave young girl walked over, locked the door, quickly stepped back, and hid with her young daughter.

Not until the gunfire subsided did they begin to look at one another timidly, their eyes fixed on the door.

A moment later, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Don’t be afraid, everyone. We are here under the orders of Her Highness the Princess to take you away from here. Please open the door."

Outside, the man’s tone was polite and courteous.

Several women exchanged glances, all feeling a bit uncertain.

"What... what do you want?" a woman asked shakily.

"We mean no harm, we just wish to take you to a safe place," the man replied.

"Why should we trust you?" the woman asked again.

"We’ve already dealt with all the guards outside. If you don’t trust us, you’re free to leave on your own."
