Chapter 1253 Where Are the People in the Ancestral Hall?

Samuel looked down at Nicole and found her in a coma. He became sullen and anger flickered in his
eyes.

He quickly hid Nicole under the altar table, but he didn't expect that there was a mechanism. When he
put her down, Nicole fell, but he did not know at all.

After hiding Nicole, Samuel saw some people coming in.

All of them were strangers, but they didn't look like people from the Harper Town.

Samuel felt dizzy and glared at them murderously.

"Who are you? Get the hell out of here!"

His voice was hoarse, and the blood on his thigh gushed out bit by bit. However, it was the pain that
kept him awake.

Seeing that Samuel was like this, those people were all stunned for a moment, and directly attacked
Samuel without answering his question.

Where were the bodyguards?

Where were the bodyguards outside?

Samuel was a little confused, but he did not dare to take the enemy lightly. He stabbed himself with the
dagger again to stay awake, and then quickly fought back.

Those people were not in a hurry to have a ferocious fight against Samuel. It seemed that they knew
the influence of the incense on Samuel. They just dodged to drain him and captured him when he was
exhausted.



Their intention was obvious for Samuel. However, at this moment, he already felt a little exhausted, but
these people kept circling around with him.

Samuel was a little impatient.

He could not let these people find Nicole, but he did not know how everything was with the children
now, either. Samuel felt a little aggrieved and angry. A rage emerged from his chest and quickly
expanded to his whole body.

These people all deserved to die!

Anyone who wanted to hurt his children and his wife had to die.

When Samuel had this thought, his eyes began to change.

The gold quickly replaced the original color of his eyes, and a murderous look appeared in an instant.

"What the hell is this?"

Someone asked, but in the next moment, Samuel grabbed his neck and directly broke it.

Actually, Samuel couldn't see things clearly. What he saw was a golden ocean, but he became
extremely sensitive that he could even hear the breathing clearly.

After the first person was strangled to death by Samuel, the others finally panicked.

"He, he doesn't seem to be affected by the incense anymore."

Another voice sounded.

Samuel quickly ended that person's life.



He was like an executioner killing them unemotionally.

At this moment, Samuel did not have any feelings of pity. The only thing he focused on was killing.

The ancestral hall was full of screams with a strong smell of blood, which made the place creepy.

Samuel did not stop until he could not feel the breath of a living person.

He sat on the ground and gasped for breath. The gold color in his eyes slowly faded away and
everything was back to normal.

Dead bodies were everywhere in the ancestral hall, which was bloody and terrifying. The smell of blood
was nauseating, but it also made Samuel a little excited.

Samuel knew it was wrong to feel this way, but he could not help but feel the desire in his heart.

He tried his best to control his emotions. After resting for a while, he stood up coldly.

Samuel walked out of the ancestral hall. When he saw his bodyguards standing outside, he burst into
anger.

"What the hell were you guys doing just now?"

"Mr. Green, we're standing guard. What's wrong?"

A bodyguard replied in panic, but Samuel grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

"Standing guard? So many men were in there just now. Are you all blind?"

Samuel was very angry.



Perhaps these bodyguards had left the Green family for too long. They might feel that no one could
manage them in such a remote place, so they dared to neglect their duties? Now they were caught in
the act, but still wanted to defend themselves.

Samuel's ruthlessness terrified them. The man in his hand was suffocated, but he still struggled to say,
"Mr. Green, no one went in just now. We were all guarding outside and did not see anyone going in at
all."

"You dare to retort? Come in and take a look."

Samuel did not care what they might feel when they saw the bloody scene. He dragged the bodyguard
and threw him into the ancestral hall.

"Take a good look. If no one came in, what are those dead people on the ground?"

Samuel threw the bodyguard in as if he were a stray dog.

The bodyguard fell on the ground, but he quickly got up. He looked around the ancestral hall and said
confusedly, "Mr. Green, there is no one here."

"Are you blind? Those..."

Samuel pointed at the ground and said, but he was stunned at the moment when he looked down.

Where were they?

Where were the people in the ancestral hall?

He just killed them all. Where were the dead bodies?

Looking at the clean ground and the empty ancestral hall, Samuel was stunned.



How could they be gone?

He was sure that they just had a ferocious fight. The breaths and footsteps of those people were so
familiar that...

Samuel suddenly remembered something. He ran to the altar table but found that Nicole was not there.

"Nicole! Nicole!"

Samuel panicked at this moment.

What was going on?

What was going on exactly?

The bodyguard looked at Samuel doubtfully. He felt that something seemed to be wrong with Samuel's
mind, but he didn't dare to say that.

They had been guarding outside all the time. How could they not see if anyone entered?

However, what happened to Mr. Green?

The same question arose in Samuel's heart.

Everything that happened just now was so real. It didn't seem like a dream at all, and...

Samuel suddenly looked down at his thigh. Blood was still oozing from the wound that hard to be
ignored.

What happened exactly?

Samuel gave a puzzled glance at the incense.



He seemed to realize something.

"Who has prepared the incense here?"

The bodyguard did not know why Samuel suddenly asked this, but he quickly replied, "It was bought
from the town in front."

At this moment, the incense had burned out. There was nothing left in the air except for a faint
sweetness.

Samuel looked at the open door of the ancestral hall, thinking something.

"Send someone to find Miss Zoe and Mr. Joseph."

"Yes, Sir."

The bodyguard did not understand why Samuel, who looked murderous just now, suddenly changed
his mind. However, it was good that he did not have to be punished.

The bodyguard ran out.

Samuel walked forward, took a good look at the incense, and smelt it, but he found nothing.

Nicole was missing.

This made Samuel a little anxious, but he still kept himself calm.

Something seemed to be different in this place.

The Harper Town was in ruins and nothing left when Samuel came here last time. However, it seemed
like there were dangers and traps everywhere now.



He had to figure out what had happened. Otherwise, even if he found Nicole, he might lose her again.

Samuel knew what Nicole was capable of, so he believed that she should be able to protect herself.

Now, the only person who could solve his doubt was Joseph.

Joseph had learned some medical knowledge.

Samuel held the incense and had a vague guess.

His bodyguards were standing guard outside. If so many unidentified people rushed in, it was
impossible for the bodyguards to remain unmoved. Besides, there was not a sound of fighting at all.

Even if the bodyguards from the Green family all betrayed him, where were the dead bodies?

No one could clean up the bodies in such a short time, could they?

Therefore, the only answer was that something was wrong with the incense.

Perhaps it was the drug in the incense that induced a hallucination.

A hallucination?

Samuel did not want to believe it, but this seemed to be the only reason that could explain the situation.

He pressed down on his thigh. His face turned pale from the pain, but he was exceptionally calm.

Joseph and Zoe were brought to the ancestral hall by the bodyguards.

"Daddy, what happened? Where's Mommy?"

Zoe was a little upset just now, but when she saw Samuel, she was worried and ran to him.



Joseph was worried as well, but he did not rush forward. Instead, he took a deep sniff and asked
doubtfully, "Dad, had you been drugged? Was it the incense?"

"No surprise."

Samuel sneered and handed the incense to Joseph.

"Go and check if there's any drug in it."

Joseph nodded and asked, "Where's Mom?"

Zoe also looked up at Samuel.

Samuel felt a bit of heartache, but he knew that he could not scare the children now. He whispered,
"Your mom has to take care of something for me. She will be back soon. Just check this incense first."

"Alright."

Joseph nodded.

He took out some tools from his backpack. They seemed to be medical items, but Samuel did not ask.

Joseph found some iodine tincture and gauze and went forward to bandage up the wounds for Samuel,
but Samuel stopped him.

"Don't worry. Let's check the incense first."

Samuel couldn't bandage up the wounds now. If this incense really contained the ingredients of drugs,
he was afraid that he would be in the hallucination again.

Joseph seemed to understand what Samuel was thinking. He did not force his Dad to treat the wounds.
Instead, he found a lighter to burn the incense up.



Joseph sniffed like a puppy.

Samuel seemed to smell the sweetness again. Suddenly, he felt dizzy. When he quickly carried Zoe out
of the ancestral hall, he found that Zoe had fainted.

"Zoe."

Samuel did not expect this incense had such a huge impact on Zoe. He couldn't help but feel frustrated
and self-blamed.

He patted Zoe's face hard.

The intense pain made Zoe suddenly wake up.

"Daddy, why are you slapping me? It hurts so much."

Zoe complained to Samuel aggrievedly, but Samuel breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't sleep."

Zoe was stunned for a moment when she heard this two words. Then, she seemed to realize
something and suddenly opened her eyes wide.

She turned to look at Joseph in the ancestral hall and asked nervously, "Daddy, will Joseph be
alright?"
