Deep in the night, when everyone at the Riverdale estate was enjoying their sleep, all of a sudden, there were the sounds of several helicopters flying over the estate. The lights from them were flashing everywhere, even falling through the large windows of the rooms.
Aeldric and all the servants in the residence were alerted and woke up. The old man came out of his room and strode to the drawing room as he called security. The panicked head of security entered the home and informed him:
"Mr. Riverdale, some unknown group has arrived here and entered the estate. Our people are trying to identify them and are ready to fight."
It angered the old man. "Make sure not a single one of them leaves alive."
"Yes, Mr. Riverdale."
Soon, the sound of gunfire echoed for a long time, as if chaos had erupted across the peaceful estate.
"Where is Aiden?" Aeldric asked the servant angrily.
"Master Aiden is in his room," the butler answered. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"How can he sleep at this moment when enemies are at the door?" Aeldric roared. "Go call him here."
The butler hurried upstairs.
Meanwhile, a group of armed people entered the residence, led by a familiar-looking man. The group was carrying the most advanced firearms.
"Colin?" Aeldric was surprised to see him. "What the hell are you doing?"
The old man was no stranger to these kinds of situations and could quickly grasp why someone would dare come to the Riverdales like this. In so many decades, no one had ever dared—yet Colin seemed to have grown some guts.
Colin smirked and looked at Aeldric after scanning the room. "I don’t see your grandson. Didn’t he tell you what he did?"
"Are you referring to the fall of your business empire?" Aeldric asked. "If he had done it, then after seeing you here like this, I must say—I’m proud of him."
Colin chuckled. "And your pride in him is going to finish the entire Riverdale family today."
"You’re forgetting you are in my territory," the old man said, unwavering.
Colin chuckled again. "Do you know who these people are with me? If you did, you wouldn’t dare show off anymore."
Aeldric looked at the tall men in commando-like uniforms, all geared up. He noticed the badges on their uniforms, and it didn’t take him long to realize.
"Can’t say a word now?" Colin mocked with an evil laugh. "Aeldric Riverdale, you may have been the most powerful for many decades, but there is someone more powerful than you—someone who can crush even a dangerous man like you, like an ant. And the good news is, they’re on my side and here to destroy the Riverdales entirely."
"They don’t get involved in others’ conflicts, and there’s no reason for them to come after the Riverdales. We have no direct conflict with them," Aeldric said. "So stop bluffing."
