Chapter 293: Mom? What are you doing?

Tai Xuan stealthily grabbed a broom from the living room before he gingerly walked towards his sister's bedroom, making sure his footsteps were as quiet as possible. The broom wasn't the best weapon he had, not by a long shot, and it would be utterly useless if the invaders had a gun, but it was better than nothing! He had to buy time before the police arrived!

He initially wanted to burst into the room, all bravado with his bare fists, but then he realised how suicidal that would be. He needed to at least have a weapon, and to have the element of surprise on these criminals so that he could get the upper hand!

But as the distance between him and his sister's room shrunk, he realised there was a strange smell in the air. His nostrils twitched; what was that smell…it was oddly familiar…

'Oh fuck me.' Tai Xuan's feet paused as his mind finally identified the smell, a look of horror growing on his face.
