Sean was immersed in the video of the crime scene onboard the luxury yacht, Mystic AL1275.
The rapid ringing of his phone pulled him back to reality.
To be honest, Sean was terrified that the phone call would be from that mysterious god.
He was afraid that the other party would make strange requests again.
He picked up the phone and put it to his ear. The voice from the other side sounded unusually urgent.
“Sean, leave the yacht immediately. A SWAT team that’s been assigned to assassinate you will arrive in seven minutes.”
What?!
A SWAT team!
It was going to assassinate him!
If his guess was correct, the SWAT team was part of the prison’s field operations team.
Their duty was to capture escaped convicts.
However, the god had just told him on the phone that the SWAT team was there to assassinate him.
Ha!
They could not hold back any longer.
Sean quickly took out a barrel of gasoline from the storage room and prepared to blow up the yacht.
He had several yachts like this, but those yachts were all registered and could not be hidden.
It only took Sean 1 minute and 37 seconds to finish the deed.
Then, in the dark of night, he disappeared at the end of Highway 41.
A few hours later, the panicked Sean escaped to a manor.
The owner of the manor was the second most powerful member of the Xiao family, Thomas.
He would only come to the manor a few days a year when he was on vacation.
Usually, the manor would be taken care of by an old butler.
Due to the large number of rooms in the manor, it was safe for Sean to hide in one of the rooms temporarily.
After all, no one would think that he was hiding in the manor of the uncle, who wanted to kill him.
Once he gradually calmed down, Sean realized something.
That god was amazing.
He was able to keep track of the goings-on in the prison. If he had not called in advance to warn him, he would have been a corpse by now.
After Sean escaped prison, he learned about the online writer’s recent activities through real-time consultation, especially when he saw that his escape had been written into “Prison Situation.”
Was there really a god in this world?!
He had helped him escape.
He also knew where to hide after the escape.
A few hours ago, he had called to inform him about the SWAT team that was about to assassinate him.
How did he do it?!
Sean had little idea. He had investigated Andre through dark web hackers but could not find anything.
It was as if the man did not exist. More accurately, he was like a mythical god.
Only a god could control everything.
In the dark basement, Sean ate compressed dry food and thought about his next plan.
A beam of light passed through the basement’s floor-to-ceiling windows abruptly, lighting up the dark room.
Someone was driving toward the manor.
Sean leaned against the wall and peeked his head out. Through the narrow window, he saw three luxury cars driving up to the manor.
The old butler quickly walked to the first car and opened the back door.
Soon after, an old man stepped out of the car. Looking at the way he got out, he seemed very strong.
It was him!
Sean looked surprised when he saw the man’s face.
Why did he come to the manor at this time? Who were in the other two cars?
It was Thomas!
He was Sean’s uncle. He was the one who wanted to kill him so that his precious son could inherit everything from the Xiao family.
Whenever enemies met, they would be particularly jealous of each other.
If Sean’s father were still alive, who would dare to touch him?
Just as Sean thought about this, a few people came out of the other two cars. One of them was unusually tall. He was about 40 years old and had a limp in his right foot.
Sean knew this man. He was a Chicago sheriff. Back when his father was still alive, he would often invite him to the house as a guest.
At that time, he was only an assistant sheriff. Every time he came, he would bring cases that interested Sean. He knew that Sean wanted to be a sheriff.
However, people changed. Sean knew that.
Watching several people, including Thomas, enter the manor, Sean wondered what they were doing there so late at night?
They were not there to merely drink tea and chat.
He subconsciously thought that the arrival of these people might have something to do with him.
Sean took out a small video recorder from his backpack and checked to see if his cell phone was silent.
He walked out of the basement in the dark and through the silent corridor before he waited for a moment in a circular living room.
A moment later, he heard footsteps.
They were going upstairs.
Sean had visited the manor a lot when he was a child, and he could vaguely remember the manor’s layout.
To the left on the second floor, there was a huge reception room, where he used to play as a child.
He waited for a while until he heard the heavy sound of the door closing.
While avoiding the surveillance cameras, Sean used his memory to slowly approach the reception room on the second floor.
All of a sudden!
The phone in his pocket vibrated.
Sean was shocked. He quickly entered an empty room and took his phone out to check it.
The number on the caller ID was very strange. It was so strange that it did not seem like a phone number.
He hid behind a couch and pressed the answer button.
“Sean, run! Jump out of the window and run!”
Boom!
Sean’s mind was blank. Fortunately, he had paid attention during his physical training, so his body reacted instinctively.
Bang!
A black shadow jumped down from the second-floor window. Using his posture to cushion his fall, he rolled a few times upon landing. The black shadow quickly got up and ran into a forest outside the manor.
Sean ran as fast as he could in the woods. He had no idea how dangerous it the situation was.
An unusually tall law enforcement officer broke in through the door after Sean jumped out of the window. When he saw the shattered window, he quickly ran to it and emptied his magazine on the shadow.
However, Sean was so nervous that he did not even feel the bullets raining down behind him.
He cursed as he ran.
An unknown amount of time later, Sean’s stamina started to run out, and he stopped to catch his breath.
He looked around and saw an abandoned factory.
Sean found a blind spot and sat on the ground, recalling what had just happened in his mind.
How did they find him?
Was the god human?
When the god previously revealed his first hiding place, Sean had suspected that a locator had been placed on him.
However, he had taken off all his clothes and never found a locator.
Connecting the front and back pieces of the puzzle, Sean became horrified because the god was most likely in the manor.
It was one of the people who had arrived with Thomas.
Who could it be?
At that moment, his phone vibrated.
Sean quickly answered the call. When he heard the other party’s voice, he felt inexplicably safe.
“Sean, your current location isn’t safe. The SWAT team is rushing in your direction.”
