If It's Not Me
Clunk!!! A ray of cold light suddenly illuminated the dark night! An overwhelming gust of wind suddenly howled! Even the two phantoms, who were hiding in the dark, felt chills run down their spines as their hearts tightened. The sneer on Xavier's face instantly froze. The group of men around also seemed to be stunned as they stood there motionlessly. Daniel's pitch-black eyes were full of indifference. After his cold eyes swept across them, he merely turned around and left without hesitation. "You—" As Xavier tried to speak, he felt an inexplicable pain in his throat. He instinctively reached out to touch his neck, only to discover that his hand was covered in blood! Immediately, his pupils shrank. In the next second, the men around him were all drenched in blood, and they all fell and rolled to the ground simultaneously! Xavier's vision gradually blurred as he felt his eyelids get heavier. His line of sight immediately fell to the ground. The sight of this riled up the two phantom guards who were hiding in the dark. "T-This is Lord Thanatos—" The face of the female phantom guard was flushed red. He had decapitated more than 20 people in an instant!!! This was one of Thanatos' sword-drawing techniques!!! Outside the realm of Thanatos, the thing that enemies feared the most was his sword-drawing techniques!!! Just a draw of his sword could leave one's clothes smeared with blood!!! No one had ever survived this technique of his before! Most importantly, no one had ever seen Thanatos yielding a sword in his hand! That was the most terrifying thing about him! It made no difference whether he had a sword or not! At that time, Janice, who had been sitting in the car with Denise, had her eyes closed, and she continued to pray in her heart. She was startled when she heard the car door pull open; it was only after seeing Daniel that she calmed down. "Daddy!" Denise called out, pouting, as tears welled up in her eyes. The indifference in his eyes immediately dissipated, and he looked at her tenderly. "Are you okay?" Janice glanced at him with concern; she was secretly relieved that she did not see any visible wounds on his body. "I'm fine. Everything's settled," Daniel answered softly. Although she nodded, she still kept her eyes fixated on him. She noticed that his face was becoming paler and paler and that he seemed weaker. "Is everything really okay?" "Yup." "That's good." Janice was a little dubious, but she didn't question what happened to Xavier and his men any further. Instead, she quickly said, "Then, let's hurry up and go home." Daniel paused for a moment, feeling something was wrong with how she was reacting. Still, he got into Xavier's car and drove away. At the same time, after they drove away, the phantom guards were dispatched. They towed all the bodies away with their skilled technique and cleaned up the gory scene. They even removed the vehicles. Everything was back to normal. It was as if nothing had happened. When Daniel drove the mother and daughter home, it was already past midnight. Denise was already fast asleep in Janice's arms. Nevertheless, there was a hint of anxiety in Janice's eyes. As soon as they got inside, she tucked the sleeping Denise on the sofa, turned her head towards Daniel, and said, "Give me a minute." After she said that, she hurried into the bedroom and pulled out two large suitcases. Then, she quickly stuffed some clothes and belongings into it. Daniel was a little dazed, seeing her like this, and asked in puzzlement, "Why are you packing your clothes? Where are we going?" Nonetheless, she continued to stuff things into the suitcases without raising her head and responded, "Pack up and leave Goldshore tonight!" He was even more taken aback when he heard this. "Why must we leave Goldshore?" "You've killed so many people. What if the police find out? If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave after!" Janice answered anxiously. She continued to pack up their things as she replied to him without even bothering to look up.
