Chapter 548 As time ticked by, the sky outside began to turn dark.
It suddenly began to rain. It was not a heavy storm, but it was enough to make one feel uneasy.
“The medicine has cooled down, Miss Tate.”
A voice snapped Avery back to reality. She walked over to the wooden tub and placed her hand in the liquid to test
the35 temperature.
“Put the corpse in!” she said.
“Oh… Wouldn’t the body rot if we put it in?” David’s assistant asked in suspicion. “Can you really bring the dead
back to life, Misse8 Tate?”
Avery shot him a cold look and said, “Are you doubting me?”
“I’m just79 curious.”
“This is a special concoction,” Avery said confidently. “The corpse won’t rot.”
Seeing her seriousness, the assistant no longer doubted87 her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA few bodyguards picked up the woman’s corpse and placed it into the wooden tub.
Avery saw the different levels of anxiety on the men’s7a faces.
No matter how beautiful she was, nobody would be able to appreciate the beauty of a thirteen year-old corpse.
The dead were not frightening, what was scary was the fear of the unknown.
“What do we do next, Miss Tate?” asked the assistant.
“Now, we wait,” Avery said calmly as she stood next to the tub.
The assistant was surprised and asked, “Wait for what?”
“Wait for her to come back to life.” After Avery said those words, she began to feel terrified. She looked out the
window, then said, “Don’t you think it’s dark in here? Turn on the lights!”
The assistant felt that she was babbling, but signaled to the bodyguard next to him anyway.
The bodyguard flipped the light switch, but the chandelier on the ceiling did not light up.
Sparks of hope began to rise inside of Avery when she witnessed this scene.
“What’s wrong?” The assistant walked over to the light switch and flipped it again, but the chandelier remained off.
“Stand guard here! I’ll go check the electrical room!” the assistant said, then walked away.
At that moment, the ceiling lights on top of David also went out.
He was entertaining guests in the VIP room when the lights suddenly went out!
Since the night had approached, the room was shrouded in darkness once the lights were out.
David thought that the lights had malfunctioned , but his assistant rushed over and told him that their power was
out!
He thought that he had heard wrongly. He had never once experienced a power outage since his birth, because the
mansion had plenty of backup generators.
“Sir, the technicians are working on it right now. The power should be back soon,” said the assistant
When the guests realized that the power was out, they all quickly left the mansion.
The sky turned pitch blank in an instant. With the power out, the mansion was shrouded in a chilling atmosphere.
“Where’s Avery Tate?!” An ominous feeling rose inside of David. “She’s upstairs. The bodyguards are watching her!”
said the assistant as he followed next to David. “Someone infiltrated and damaged the mansion’s electrical circuit.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was definitely Avery Tate’s people. I suspect they will strike tonight.”
WI
David had already guessed it.
The key issue right now was that, without electricity, he felt like he had turned blind.
“How about the emergency lights?!” he snapped frustratedly.
The assistant turned on the torch on his phone and said, “The emergency system was also damaged. The
technicians will fix it as soon as possible.”
“What a bunch of good-for-nothing idiots! We have all those backup generators. Were they all damaged?!” David’s
rage had reached a boiling point.
“Yes, Sir,” answered the assistant nervously. “They might have damaged our electrical circuit, but we don’t have to
be afraid with Avery Tate in our hands!”
A group of people very quickly arrived on the second floor.
“Avery Tate! Is your man coming to save you tonight?” David teased as he pulled out a handgun. “Try to guess and
see if you can leave this place alive!” What responded to him was nothing but endless silence.
