After Max left, Vivian walked out of the administration building and headed toward her home, looking around with a desolate look in her eyes.

She knew it wouldn't be long before this place she spent most of her life in would be destroyed and…

She bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She felt afraid even to think about the fact that she, her children, her husband, the old man Governor, and everyone else she knew would die soon.

'Why… Why is it happening? I don't want to die. I don't want to lose my children, and despite everything, I don't want to lose my husband either. My friends, uncle Robert… I don't want to lose anyone.' She stopped in place and raised her head, looking up at the sky, silently praying, 'Please God… Please help us overcome this disaster.'

Right then, she heard faint voices in the distance which gradually grew closer.

"What do you think is going on?"

"Hey, officer Jack, why don't you tell us?"

"Yeah. Where are you leading us? To fight those brutal people?"

"..."

"Sir Jack." Vivian dipped her head in greeting to Jack who was leading the group when they got closer.

"Oh, Mrs. Fletcher? Where are you headed to?"

'Hm?' Vivian raised her eyebrows because Jack sounded… unusually cheerful.

"I'm going home for a bit." She answered before looking at the group behind him and asking, "Has something happened? Where are you leading them, and why do you look so…"

"Relieved, right?" Jack finished for her, a smile appearing on his face.

He then looked at the group behind him before looking at her, "Well, I was going to tell them when Henry was with me so they could confirm it with him because it is going to be difficult to believe. But since you are here and I was going to give you the news to report to the Governor anyway, so I'll just tell you now."

Saying this, he paused and swept his gaze across everyone once again, enjoying their curious and eager expressions.

When he felt they would begin shouting if he stayed quiet anymore, he announced, "Those fellows outside… all of them have been killed. Now there is no danger to our lives."

Following his words, there was a stunned silence. Then everyone's expressions became one of disbelief and almost simultaneously, they asked.

"How?!"

"Who killed them?!"

Jack let them calm down on their own before he said, "I'm sure many of you know, Miss Sarah, Governor's daughter?"

Ba-Dum!

Vivian's heart skipped a beat when she heard him mention her and almost immediately, Max's face surfaced in her mind, but she shook her head, feeling ridiculous for thinking this.

But then she heard Jack's next words and was left stunned.

After most of them nodded in confirmation, Jack said, "She has a son… Maxwell. He came to the mansion earlier today. After finding out what was going on, he left the mansion alone and slaughtered them all."

"Wha!!!"

Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment before glee replaced it and they let out loud, hysterical roars.

Then, some began laughing, their eyes moist while some began crying, pouring out their stifled emotions through tears.

Jack also felt emotions well up in his heart, but he kept them in check.

As for Vivian, after being stunned, and in disbelief, she felt all strength left her body and fell to her knees. Though her hands covered her face and she didn't make any sound, one look at her constantly shaking shoulders and heaving chest and you would know she was feeling the same as everyone.

In fact, she felt it even harder because unlike them, she knew the exact time of their supposed death, so the pressure had become unbearable to her.

"Now, now, everyone. Let's calm down and not embarrass ourselves in public, alright?" Jack said while helping Vivian up, "Sister-In-Law, please go home and relax. You deserve it."

"Mm. Thank you." Vivian nodded, wiped her tears and hurried toward her home. She couldn't wait to share the good news with her children… and then go meet Max.

Soon, she reached her house and knocked on the door. "Alex, Anna. Open the door!"

Step! Step! Step!

Creak!

Just a few moments later, hasty footsteps sounded before the door swung open to reveal a tall and slender girl, who looked to be around over 20-years-old, had a beautiful oval face, smooth fair skin, the same silky brown hair and eyes as Vivian's.

Though she lacked significantly in terms of the size of breasts and ass in comparison to Vivian, they were perfect in their own way. Moreover, she had a charm to her that drew everyone's attention.

"What happened, Mom?" The girl, Anna, worriedly asked. Right then, another pair of footsteps thudded down from the first floor and a lanky, brown haired boy appeared, looking as anxious as his sister.

"It's good news!" Vivian almost shouted out, unable to hold back.

"What?" The sibling pair asked which made Vivian glare at them, "Aren't you going to let me in first?"

The duo stepped aside and let her in. Vivian then broke the news, "We are no longer in danger. Those people have been dealt with."

"What?!"

"Really?!"

The siblings exclaimed. When they saw Vivian nod, Alex began howling while Anna hugged her mother and cried in her embrace. "Thank god. I was so afraid, Mom."

"Yeah. Me too, baby." Vivian patted her back.

After a while, when the siblings calmed down, she told Alex, "Go, bring me one of your decent shirts."

"Why?" Alex curiously asked.

"Someone needs it. Now bring it, would you? I need to return quickly." Vivian said, prompting him to move.

"Alright."

…

Max was lying on the bed, staring at the letter he found in Visante's room, his expression dark.

[If you have found this latter, then this means you have dealt with those useless people which is quite surprising to be honest.

I hadn't expected that you still have some life left in you, old man. Anyways, the destruction of your Foster family is set in stone. No matter how much you struggle, it won't change. Of course, it is unless you bring Sarah to me. What's it going to be, old man? Choose quickly. Your time is running out.

Regards,

Samuel Brown.]

Just as his eyes darkened and rage was beginning to shimmer in his heart…

Knock! Knock!

Someone knocked on the door and a gentle voice, which allayed his rage somewhat, sounded.
