Caroline looked through the window and across the night sky.

The house that was originally dark was now lit up with many lights. Caroline thought that Edwin was probably staying in that house to protect her.

Caroline’s throat suddenly felt dry, and she did not say anything.

She was the eldest daughter of the Pritz family. As the eldest daughter of a prestigious family born with a golden spoon in her mouth, she could have grown up pampered and spoiled like all the other young ladies she knew.

However, it was clear that the Pritz family was different from other families. They rose to power through military merits, and their mission was to protect this country, this land, and the people living on this land. Therefore, the Pritz family did not need a pampered young lady.

This was especially true after her grandfather and father had died in battle. As the sole descendant of the Pritz family, not only did she have to shoulder the mission of the clan, she also had to shoulder the mission of reviving it.

Ever since she was young, she had heard the words ‘you can’ and ‘you must do it’ the most. In Luo Ling Pritz’s life creed, the words ‘fear’ and ‘retreat’ were not allowed.

Therefore, at the age when people of the same age played around and worked hard to learn talents, she had already begun to de herself to hard training again and again, gradually polishing herself into a tenacious falcon. At a young age, she successfully graduated from military school and entered the army with excellent results. After a few years, she made remarkable achievements again and again, climbing to the position of the first commander in her twenties, making Pritz’s name resound in the world again.

Caroline had never felt that there was anything wrong with her life. The only thing she was unwilling to accept was that she was stabbed in the back, and everything came to an abrupt end. But now, someone was telling her not to be afraid. So she could have the emotion of ‘fear’?

“Why?” Caroline asked the person opposite her.

Why did he protect a stranger again and again?

She didn’t ask in detail, but Edwin understood what she meant. “Because someone once taught me that if you don’t want something to be taken away, you have to hold on to the gun in your hand.”

“It sounds a little rough.” Caroline couldn’t help but laugh. “But I agree with that. It seems like I have the same opinion as that person. If there’s a chance, I would like to meet that person. I believe we will get along very well.”

Edwin was silent for two seconds before he replied, “If there’s a chance.”

The night’s disturbance came and went quickly. Caroline put away the gun that she didn’t use, picked up the worried Danika from the tunnel, and went to sleep. As for the mess downstairs, she believed that Edwin’s men would clean it up.

However, on the other side, some people could not sleep well.

The Taylor family had been waiting for a reply ever since they sent out their men. However, they waited from 12 to 3 in the morning and still did not receive a reply. They had clearly sent back a message saying that they had arrived at their destination at around 1 o ‘clock.

It was just dealing with a woman. There was no need to spend so much time. What was even more incredible was that the contact messages they sent out were like stones sinking into the sea. There was no response at all.

At this point, the Taylor family began to panic. They quickly sent people to investigate, but the report they received was that the woman from the Lambert family was still safe and sound. She was still alive, and she had even gone out for a run in a good mood early in the morning.

As for last night, according to the memories of the nearby residents, there was indeed an alarm going off around 1 a.m., But the alarm stopped very quickly, and there was no other movement after that.

It seemed that everything was fine and very quiet and peaceful, but the seven or eight people they had sent out were nowhere to be found. This was the biggest problem.

If the first time was because they had offended the Anderson family’s fiend, then the failure of the second mission was something that the Taylor family had to take seriously.

They didn’t believe that Caroline had the ability to do all this. Something must have happened behind the scenes.

The unknown enemy was the scariest. Derek, the head of the Taylor family, suddenly thought of the mastermind behind the internet a few days ago. He suddenly had an intuition that there must be a connection between the two.

Thus, he asked his personal assistant, “Have you found out who was behind the incident on the internet that day?”
