You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1785: Weakest Defense

Late at night, the Warner residence.

Silence enveloped the boundless darkness, the mansion's surroundings empty and exceptionally quiet. The sound of the wind

rustling could be distinctly heard.

Joyce was not present, Darrin was also absent, and most of the guards had been withdrawn. Now was the twhen the Warner

residence was least prepared. Little did anyone know that danger was approaching.

Cloud silently led a team of black-clad individuals into the Warner residence.

After Athena was forced to leave the abandoned school, on her way to receive treatment for her gunshot wound, she urgently

ordered them to capture Anderson as a hostage. And now was the perfect opportunity.

Cloud effortlessly subdued the guards at the entrance and made his way into the grand hall.

The first person to sense that something was amiss was Mr. Arnold.

Without even having tto put on his coat, he rushed out of his room and cface to face with the intruder.

A figure tall and imposing, with long hair billowing in the wind, exuding a dark aura.

Mr. Arnold stammered in fear, "Who... who are you?"

Oh no, the Commander is not at home, and Darrin is not here either. Now, only the young master is home! Could their objective be

to capture the young master?

Cloud didn't even spare a glance at Mr. Arnold. He strode forward and lightly struck him, rendering Mr. Arnold unconscious.

Mr. Arnold's body went limp and fell to the ground, motionless.

Cloud signaled to the black-clad individuals behind him. "Stay here. I'll go find Anderson."

"Yes," the black-clad individuals responded.

Cloud, with cautious steps, made his way upstairs and reached the second floor. One room's door was closed, while the doors of

the other rooms were open. He deduced that the closed door must lead to Anderson's room.

Without hesitation, he approached the door.

With a loud bang, he kicked the door open.

Anderson, awakened by the loud noise, jolted up from the bed, suddenly awakened from what seemed like a nightmare. His body

was drenched in cold sweat.

In front of the door stood a dark figure, illuminating his features under the sensor lights. Despite his somewhat scholarly

appearance, his aura was shrouded in darkness.

Anderson's heart raced. He recognized this man!

"Are you in cahoots with Athena?" he asked.

"Little brother, you have a good memory," Cloud sneered.

He threw his coat at Anderson and said, "You have one minute to change your clothes. Cwith me."

In nicer terms, it could be called leaving, but in harsher terms, it was kidnapping.

Anderson clenched his fists tightly. His instinctive reaction was to press the emergency call device on the bedside. This device was

connected to his mommy's phone and other electronic devices. His mommy would immediately know that he was in danger.

Cloud noticed Anderson's actions and sneered, "Don't bother. Do you think | would take the risk of barging into your house and

taking you away without confidence? Your mother is seriously injured and receiving treatment at the hospital. She can't cto

save you."

"What!" Anderson suddenly grew anxious. "My mommy is seriously injured? What have you done to her?"

Then, he calmed down. "No, it's impossible. You're lying. My mommy has Daddy and Uncle Darrin with her. Nothing can happen to

her." He vaguely knew that his mommy had gone to save his little sister tonight, and Daddy must have gone with her. They must

have encountered sdifficulties.

Cloud, growing impatient, approached and lifted Anderson up. "Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

Anderson kicked his legs in the air. "My sister must have been rescued, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be desperate enough to

cand capture me!"

Cloud glanced at Anderson. "You're quite intelligent, kid. Unfortunately, it's of no use. You're already in my grasp. Don't waste time.

I won't harm the child. Cwith me."

Saying that, Cloud carried Anderson out of the room and down the stairs.

Anderson caught sight of Mr. Arnold lying on the ground not far away. He deduced that the guards inside the villa must have been

subdued. He was actually quite frightened because he had a deep fear of Athena. His memories of being kidnapped were vivid. If

he fell into Athena's hands again, he couldn't imagine the consequences.

Most importantly, he didn't want to burden his mommy and daddy anymore.

They had gone through so much, and they were finally about to reunite with his little sister. If he were to be kidnapped again at

this moment, he could almost imagine his mommy's despair.

In a moment of panic, his rationality prevailed.

Anderson suddenly had an idea. He looked at his legs and said, "You wokeup in the middleof the night, can you at least let me

use the bathroom? I'm about to pee my pants!"

Although Cloud was cautious, he believed that Anderson was already in his grasp, and he couldn't possibly turn the tables.

He put down Anderson and said, "Go ahead."

Anderson quickly grabbed the mini smart remote control in the bathroom. Usually, when he was bored in the bathroom, he liked to

play around with the remote control. Later on, he decided to implant many self-made programs. It could control the entire smart

system in the house, turning on lights or air conditioning with just a thought.

He pried open the remote control and pressed one of the hidden buttons.

It was something he had tinkered with before, but he didn't expect it to cin handy now. As a series of beeps sounded...

Suddenly, all the emergency sprinkler heads in the entire house were triggered.

Water gushed down from the ceiling in torrents, instantly drenching the black-clad individuals in the living room.

Following that, the lights throughout the house flickered on and off, alternating.

Any passing vehicles could tell that this was a distress signal.

Cloud muttered under his breath, "Damn it!"
