Plundering in the Apocalypse-Chapter 168 Betrayal?!!

"The mansion is surrounded by forest. So if they want to ambush us it's very simple. That's probably also the reason why Valor is so confident."

"If everything goes according to his plan. Either we try to escape and be ambushed by him or we stay in this mansion and wait for him to get the throne. Either way, he is the winner." As Louis was explaining Phil couldn't help but ask.

"Why do you think he won't attack the mansion directly? If what you said is true he needs a lot of force to set up an ambush in such a big forest. If he has that many people he can directly attack the mansion right? Why would he go through so much trouble?" Phil's evaluation was on point. This mansion is not impossible to raid. In fact, it's very easy, if there are a lot of people.

So Phil couldn't understand Louis' reasoning.

"Do you think if it was so easy he would have waited for so long?" As Louis pointed it out everyone's eyes widened in realization.

Right! This mansion can only be described as luxurious and beautiful. In the force of vampires, it's not safe. So how could Louis and his family live here safely for years?

Seeing the curious look in everyone's eyes. Louis sighed and replied.

"There's a magic array set here by the magic clan."

Hearing the explanation everyone nodded in understanding.

"If it's those freaks we understand."

"Yeah."

Louis raised his hand for everyone to calm down and said. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

"Now the escape plan. If everything goes well then we may not even encounter them. But just in case we need to be prepared."

"There's a magic circle set in this mansion that connects us to the old city in the south."

The old city described is the abandoned city in the south where old generations of vampires used to live. But after the war 300 years ago. It's now just a ruin.

"Valor doesn't know about this magic circle. Only me and my father knows. So the possibility of him being able to find us is very low."

"Is this teleportation? How did those freaks make such a miraculous thing?" Phil asked curiously. This kind of magic is coveted by anyone. Who doesn't like fast travel? Until now they didn't even know of the existence of such a thing.

"Don't underestimate those magic clan freaks. Although they don't get involved with anyone and are very mysterious. You should never underestimate them." Kret said very seriously, remembering something.

Louis looked at Kret solemnly and sighed. 'Poor Kret, he and those magic clan people. If only I could help him somehow.' Shaking those thoughts out of this head.

Louis said. "This thing can only work once and can only be used in an emergency. So we only have this chance. Now we need to think how to distract Valor."

With that, his gaze fell on everyone present.

"Leave that to me." At this moment Sith, Phil's confidant raised his hand confidently.

Louis was a little surprised but asked calmly.

"Are you sure? You need not confront him. If only you can just distract him. We will be successful."

"Don't worry sir, I won't get caught. Rest assured."

"Okay, then we will leave in an hour. Sith, you can get ready. Take some vampire slaves with you." Louis ordered and gestured for them to leave.

Everyone started preparing for the escape.

***

Inside a luxurious room. Louis explained a few things to Claire and the excited Aurora was chatting happily with Emily. Although Emily was three years older than Aurora, they got along very well.

"Hehe~ We will visit many places~"

"Do you know where are we going Aur?" Emily asked tentatively. For Emily playing with Aurora while remembering her position is very difficult.

Even so, she liked this little Aurora. So being with her makes her happy.

"I don't know." Aurora's expression was suddenly lost.

She was so excited that she forgot to ask such an important thing.

"Aur, let's go. It's time to leave."

Hearing her mothers call Aurora followed by Emily went toward her.

"Mom, where are we going?" Tugging into her mother's cloth Aurora asked.

Claire gently rubbed her daughter's head and replied.

"A very faraway place."

It was time to activate the magic circle. Just after the meeting, Sith executed the order given by Louis and went to distract Valor and acted as a diversion.

Although there was no reply from Sith, the time was almost up.

'What happened to Sith? Why is there no signal?'

Louis had a grim expression on his face.

"Should we wait for his signal, sir?" Niles, the butler asked.

Louis was troubled about how to answer him.

'Maybe we should wait after all.'

At this moment.

"No, if we continue to wait, what's the point of Sith's hard work?" It was Phil who shouted. His tone was rather anxious.

Everyone looked at him with strange eyes.

Feeling everyone's gaze Phil coughed and explained himself calmly.

"Maybe he has been busy getting Valor's attention. We can wait for the signal or try this method again. But I'm not sure if Valor will be prepared this time." 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

Phil's words were reasonable. If they fail this time it won't be possible to trick Valor again.

Thinking of this Louis agreed, but for some reason, he felt something was very wrong. Why did he feel like Phil was acting differently?

'What am I thinking, it's probably just my imagination. It's Phil, who had been my best friend for more than a decade. How could I doubt him?'

Shaking those strange thoughts out of his mind, Louis decided to believe in him.

"You are right. We won't get such a chance again. Let's go."

'Right Valor, it was your overconfidence that let me escape easily. You may never even think that there was something like teleportation inside the mansion.'

"Everyone! Enter the circle."

"Yay~ we are going on a vacation." Little Aurora was very excited.

*Magic circle activated*

*Woosh**Woosh**Woosh*

Soon after all the figures disappeared in golden lights and the mansion was now empty. Only being surrounded by a forest, which gave off an eerie feeling, where a group of people could be seen emitting high bloodlust. Probably Valor's men.

Far away from the mansion, Sith could be seen running and covered in blood. His breathing was unstable. With his shaking fingers he took out his phone trying to call Louis.

With every ring his expression became panicky.

"*Pant*, *Pant*, please pick up sir." At this moment with a click sound, the phone was connected.

"We have been betrayed."

*Stab*

*Splurge*

That was the only sentence he could leave before the sound of something sharp piercing came and the blood splattered.
