Birds chirped as the first rays of sunlight fell into the courtyard.
'Creak'
A figure in a black robe stepped out of the room, his gaze was drawn to the lone tree at the center of the courtyard. Its leaves fluttered as a bird flew away to the sky.
Andy's gaze was fixed on the bird when a sudden knock on the door of the courtyard drew his attention.
"It's about time," he grumbled as he opened the door to see a figure standing in front of him. It was an elderly man, with wrinkles covering his face and his hair disheveled as if he had just escaped from a fight. While his hand was holding a sack with blood dripping from it.
"Young Master," he said creepily to Andy, his black eyes fixed on the masked figure in front of him. He let out a long sigh before tossing the sack at Andy.
Andy said nothing, but his gaze was drawn to five heads on the ground.
When he saw the beheaded heads, his brow furrowed. It was the heads of a middle-aged woman and Young Master Lin, among others.
