Chapter 304: Counter-Strategy (Part 2)
The following morning, I woke up earlier than usual, feeling a bit anxious after our mission the previous night.
After stretching a little, I walked up to the window and noticed there was a group of soldiers that were waiting outside the residence’s gate.
Walking in the garden towards the gate, I spotted Lady Bao and her personal servant.
’Hmmm, this could be a problem...’ I thought.
When Lady Bao opened the gates to talk to the man leading the soldiers, they walked inside the garden a bit rudely, which instantly put me on alert and made me wake up Melina and the two kids.
"Quick, get into the underground room..." I said.
Melina didn’t know what was happening, but she still acted fast and carried the two children before rushing to the trapdoor, which we had hidden under a rug.
I kept peeking out of the window and used my sound magic to listen to the conversation between Lady Bao and the leading soldier.
"I’m telling you. None of my slaves have disappeared. How is that even possible?" Lady Bao said.
’Ah, so they are here to see if the Bao family was also attacked...’ I thought, realizing the small flaw in our plan.
I mean, there were still other government officials who had their slaves since we couldn’t free them all in one night, but that didn’t mean that they weren’t also being suspected.
