Chapter 1775 Stay With The Three Children
As soon as Stanley finished speaking, Shane fell silent, agreeing to his suggestion.
He then instructed the security, “Follow Dr. Quinn's orders. Additionally, arrange for a
skilled sniper to set off alone discreetly and climb up the mountain from the cliff.”
“So, you're planning a surprise attack?” Stanley immediately understood Shane's
intentions.
Shane spoke in an emotionless tone. “Wouldn't it be better to kill someone directly if given
the chance?”
Sean wanted to duel with him, but all he wanted was to defeat Sean in the quickest way
possible.
He did not have that much spare time to engage in a tit-for-tat battle with Sean. That
would just be a waste of time.
“As usual, you're straightforward in your actions. But have you reported this to the
authorities? I'm afraid you might have a hard time dealing with them if Sean loses his life
due to your actions,” Stanley reminded him.
“You don't need to remind me. Now, get in the car!” Shane, not wanting to waste any

Stanley shrugged his shoulders, quickening his pace to catch up with him.
No one spoke throughout the journey, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it sent
chills down the spine.
It was only when Silas' call came through that the heavy atmosphere lightened.
“Mr. Thompson, I heard from the subordinates that Sean took Mrs. Thompson away. Is that
true?” Silas asked anxiously.
Shane did not respond to his question, but his silence spoke volumes.
Silas stomped his foot in frustration. “D*mn it! Why did he choose to act now? Luckily, we
took Mr. Anders away this morning. I can't imagine what would happen if Sean had
targeted him!”
Anders was still a baby, frail in health. If Sean were to make a move against him, there
would be no escape for him.
Shane did not react to Silas' words, but he was thankful that they took Anders away this
morning.
That was the only thing that brought him relief.
“Mr. Thompson, I'm coming over to provide additional assistance,” Silas added.
Shane shook his head. “You don't need to come over. I know where Sean is, and he's
waiting for me. He wants to settle our grudges tonight. Even if you come now, it'll be too
late. Stay there and protect the kids. After all, we have no idea if Sean knows where I've
hidden the children. What if he sends someone over? I need someone to take charge
there, and I know I can count on you.”
Upon hearing Shane's words, Silas immediately calmed down and nodded. “Got it, Mr.
Thompson. I'll do my best to protect the kids. Rest assured, I won't let you down.”
“I have faith in you.” Shane nodded.
Silas then said, “Mr. Thompson, please take care of yourself. Make sure to return safely
with Mrs. Thompson.”
Shane responded with a hum. He then thought for a moment before adding, “By the way,
don't tell Connor anything about this. That kid may be smart, but he's also impulsive. If he
heard anything about it, he might try to sneak over here. Don't underestimate him
because of his age. He's capable of doing it.”
“Don't worry, Mr. Thompson, I'm aware of that, and that's why I didn't tell Mr. Connor

“Good.” Shane finally felt completely at ease after saying those words.
After Shane ended the call, Stanley watched him put down the phone. “Everything that
needed to be arranged is now in place. You can now focus on dealing with Sean.”
Shane kept mum.
Seeing his gloomy face and the silence that followed, Stanley simply chose to keep quiet
as well.
Before long, they arrived at Lismar Summit.
Shane stepped out of the car and stood at the foot of the mountain while looking up at the
summit.
The mountain, once ravaged by fire, was already bare and dark. Now, under the night sky,
it appeared even more ominous. The wind blew, carrying with it eerie sounds as if the
place was haunted.
A bodyguard approached Shane from behind, informing him about the current situation on
the mountain.
The vanguard team that was previously dispatched suffered a significant ambush and
attack, with more than half of them getting injured.
