Chapter 775

- Attack from an assassin "It's too quiet, the entire Mansion is too quiet." William said.

"Quiet?" Alice listened for a while, and didn't feel anything different from usual, "Isn't it always like this?"

Of course it was quiet in the middle of the night.

"No, it's not like this in normal times!"

William said coldly.

"Isn't it?" Alice yawned. She was full of sleepiness as she said, "Is it because Dr. Lambert and Bro quarreled today and no one speaks loudly?"

She didn't feel any difference.

William took his watch from the bedside and turned on the flashlight. Looking at the time, he said coldly, "Every night at this time, a boat will pass by. Today is not the case."

It was too quiet.

It was so quiet that the sound of the water outside could barely be heard.

Alice looked at the time, it was one o'clock in the morning. She looked at William who was in the darkness with a questioning look, "Do you not sleep at this time of night?"

The sound of a boat passing could be heard?

"It was you who toss and turn as soon as you heard it, I wake up to cover your ears." William said, "But tonight, the boat did not pass by."

Listening up to here, Alice's heart shook, and it was actually because of her.

"You cover my ears at this time of night?" Alice was completely touched. She didn't even know that he was awake in the middle of the night just to let her sleep more soundly.

"Yes."

William got off the bed, walked to the door, and then walked to the window. He opened the curtain a little, and the moonlight shone on his face, making him look mesmerizingly handsome.

His face was filled with vigilance.

"William, are you thinking too much? Maybe the boat just didn't pass by today." Alice said.

"Impossible! I went to check it out. I was going to pay the boatmen to prevent them from passing here at night. "William said coldly.

"And then?"

"Then the other party was a couple who were here to pick up tourists. They lived far away, and every night, they would coax their children to sleep before conning over with boats to wait for daybreak." William said as he stood by the window and closed the curtain.

"They don't want your money?"

Alice asked.

"Yes! They say they couldn't get paid without work, which may make their kid look down on them! Fuck!" William snorted and Alice asked somewhat nervously, "Then you didn't do anything to them, right?"

William turned his eyes and stared at her, "Of course not!"

Hearing that, Alice heaved a sigh of relief.

"That's good, William, stop overthinking, maybe that couple is too tired, they want to rest tonight."

Isn't he being too sensitive?

Just because a boat doesn't pass by that makes him so sensitive.

"Don't you think the sound of the water tonight is extremely little?" William stood there and said.

Hearing that, Alice listened attentively, and the more she listened, the more the sleepiness in her eyes disappeared. In the end, she became completely awake.

The sound of water was truly very little.

She remembered that there was a windmill nearby, and the water turned from its surface and flowed into the lake, there was the sound of water splashing from morning to night. The sound was not disturbing, which was why Alice liked the sound.

But now there was no sound at all.

"Why is it so quiet?"

Alice looked at William and for some reason, she became a little nervous. The boat did not pass by and the sound of water was gone as well.

William walked to the bedside, reached out his hand and pressed it on her shoulder, then said calmly, "Don't be nervous, wake up Mr palace."

"Okay, it's charging itself next door."

Alice pressed a button on her own bracelet and then got off the bed. In the darkness, William took out a jacket and put it on her.

At this time, Mr Palace opened the door and looked at them, "Master, Mr. William."

"Mr Palace, you stay here and protect Alice. I'll go out and take a look!"

William instructed coldly. He raised his leg and was about to leave, but Alice immediately pulled his hand and said worriedly, "I'll go with you."

She also felt that something was wrong.

"Stay here and lock the door. Don't open the door."

William shook off her hand and walked outside resolutely.

Alice was about to follow along, but she was stopped by Mr Palace, which locked the door. Alice could only stay in the bedroom as she became anxious in the darkness.

Is it alright for William to go out alone?

Alice bit her lips. Mr Palace could feel the apprehension in her heart as it consoled her, "Master, Mr. William will definitely be fine."

"Hmm."

Alice nodded, she was still extremely nervous.

William walked out of the room alone. As soon as he walked out, he saw that it was completely dark outside.

Someone had entered the Mansion.

Thief?

Impossible, a thief can't stop the sound of water.

It's worse than he thought.

William's eyes instantly became gloomy and cold. He continued to walk forward, walked to the front of David's room, and directly pushed open the door. The door was not locked.

David was also a light sleeper, after hearing the voice, he immediately sat up, "Who is it?"

"It's me!" William said coldly, "Get up immediately, someone has barged in."

"Who is it?"

David quickly stood up from the bed and reached out to switch on the light, but his hand was blocked by William. William stood in front of him and said in a cold voice, "If I'm not mistaken, it's the assassin that Lancaster hired. He wants us dead."

Lancaster never gave up trying to kill him.

"How did they know we are here?" David frowned and suddenly reacted, "It's Lambert. I had a fight with him and he called over Lancaster's men over, has he gone mad!?"

In all these days, they had never used their power to oppress anyone, much less bring in any bodyguards.

Lambert betrayed them!

David stood there and almost cursed out loud.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. They are obviously here to assassinate us.

We need to fight back." William said coldly, "If they can't penetrate, Alice is fine!"

Alice being fine was the most important thing.

"That's easy. I'll capture Lambert and use him as a hostage!"

David said, and without saying much more, he quietly walked outside.

The two parted ways.

David walked towards Lambert's room.

William walked towards the direction of the stairs carefully. Before he even reached the stairs, a black shadow rushed out from beside the potted plant, pouncing towards him.

"Bam."

A gunshot rang out in the quiet Mansion.

The houses were shaking.

Alice who was in the bedroom was sitting on the bed when she suddenly heard the sound of a gunshot. She immediately jumped up from the bed and looked at the door in shock, then disregarded everything and ran over.

Why would there be gunfire?

Will William be okay?

In the darkness, her face was pale.

"Master, Mr. William wants you to stay."

The palace blocked her way with its huge, hard body.

'Tm worried that something will happen to William. Let me out." Alice tried to push Mr Palace away, but to no avail. Mr Palace stood there motionlessly, "Master, Mr.

William told you to stay."

"Since you call me master, why not listen to me?"

Alice said. She was extremely anxious.

"Because I want to protect Master's safety." Mr Palace said.

"Master, do you think that we can protect Mr. William if we go out now? Or worsen the situation? " Mr Palace asked while Alice stood there stiffly.

That's right, what could she do when she went out? She could only cause trouble for William.

"But I'm really worried about William, I want to see if he's alright."

Why was there a gunshot the moment he left the room? She had no idea what had happened.

Every time, it was William who blocked everything for her, and it was never her who blocked the disaster for him. This kind of feeling was too annoying.

"Bam."

Another shot came from outside, and it was terrifying.

Alice stood there with a pale face, staring at the tightly shut door, her breathing grew more and more accelerated, "William can't get into trouble, William can't get into trouble."

A sound of fighting came from outside.

Other than these, there were no other sounds. No one screamed from being shot, and no one cried out. This made Alice even more flustered.

She was worried that William was shot and he did not want her to worry, so he did not even make a sound.

"Mr Palace, can you go out and take a look? Please."

Alice looked pleadingly at Mr Palace for help. Right after she finished speaking, the door was slammed twice. Alice's eyes widened in fear, and Mr Palace immediately used its body to block in front of her.

"Alice, it's me. Open the door."

William's voice sounded from outside.

Alice immediately rushed out and opened the door without hesitation. William was panting and standing at the entrance, but the light outside had already been turned on.

Alice looked at him anxiously. "William, are you alright?"

She looked at him up and down, only to see that there was a scratch on the back of his hand. Her breathing suddenly stopped. William raised his hand, "It's nothing, it's just a scratch."

"No other injuries?"

Alice's face was as white as paper.

"Nope."

"Don't lie to me."

"I really don't have any. Do you want strip me to check?" Seeing her pale face, William said as he reached out to take off his clothes.

Alice threw herself into his embrace regardless of what happened and hugged him tightly. "It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine, you scare me to death, I thought that gun..."
