Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 654: The Arrogance of the Opponent (2)_1

The silver Rolls-Royce forcefully made its way to the Manor.

Glades Horne's intrusion was not only because he truly wanted to meet Noah Reyes—for the sake of his sister Adele Horne, he *had* to meet Noah Reyes—but also because a large open space in front of the Manor gates made it easy to turn the car around.

When Glades Horne forced his way in, Hansen Ruiz naturally did not fall behind.

Both cars arrived at the Manor gates with an aggressive stance.

As the man got up, he immediately made a call inside the Manor.

By the time Glades Horne and Hansen Ruiz had stopped their cars, the Manor's gates had opened fully, as if the city gates were welcoming an emperor. Unfortunately, a machine gun with formidable firepower was mounted in the Courtyard, its muzzle aimed at Glades Horne's car.

The Manor's gates were wide open, not to allow Glades Horne into the Manor, but to facilitate the machine gun's line of fire. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Emperor was a secretive organization involved with both the underworld and legitimate businesses. Having guns was quite normal for them.

Glades Horne got out of the car. When he saw the machine gun aiming straight at him, his expression remained stern and unchanged as he strode forward.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

He had only taken a few steps when the machine gun went off, bullets hitting the ground just in front of his feet, not enough to hurt him but carrying a heavy warning.

"Young Master," Bodyguards hurriedly caught up and shielded him.

"Glades," Hansen Ruiz also quickly approached, pulling him back and whispering, "Don't force your way through. These people are different from Jonathan Allen; they're all heavily armed. There's no need to risk your life."

Noah Reyes had a defense system that was difficult for them to penetrate. Naturally, numerous armed subordinates protected him. Both Glades Horne and Hansen Ruiz were unarmed, law-abiding citizens. How could they directly confront Noah Reyes?

Glades Horne gave the machine gun a fierce look, his deep eyes scanned further in. He saw a man who appeared British standing in front of the Main House, his expression cold. The arrangement of the machine gun was likely this British man's doing. Could that be Noah Reyes? No, Glades Horne had a hunch. That man was definitely not Noah Reyes.

"Noah Reyes, one day, I will make you beg to see me!" Glades Horne growled lowly. The Young Master of the Horne family, accustomed to people fawning over him wherever he went, was facing such a setback for the first time. With a machine gun already in place, could he really use his mortal body to charge through their bullets?

He turned his head, straightened his posture, spun around, and strode away.

The bodyguards quickly returned to the car and opened the door for Glades Horne. After he climbed inside, they hurriedly got into the car and turned it around.

After Glades Horne settled in the back seat, he took out his phone and called Benjamin Robinson.

"Benjamin, I'm reporting a crime."

"Glades, am I hearing you right? You're reporting a crime *again*? Has something else happened to the Horne family?" Upon hearing him, Benjamin Robinson couldn't help but tease. This friend of his had reported quite a few crimes over the years.

"If you have ears, then you haven't heard wrong," Glades Horne said in a deep voice, without a hint of jest.

"You're harsh. Tell me, what's the crime?" Benjamin Robinson's face became serious, the teasing gone, all business now.

"On the outskirts, at Nameless Manor, illegal possession of firearms." He added, "While Emperor might normally carry firearms, this is Syrena. Possessing them here is illegal."

"Are you sure?" Although Nameless Manor was built on the outskirts, it had a large footprint, and its main building was luxuriously renovated. Naturally, it caught the attention of many people during its construction.

Benjamin Robinson was the head of the criminal investigation squad and was about to be promoted to Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau. He was well aware of the location of Nameless Manor.

"If you come later and they've hidden the guns, my certainty will turn into uncertainty," Glades Horne said gruffly, with evident irritation.

If he couldn't enter the Manor or see Noah Reyes, he would have Benjamin's men harass Noah a bit. Benjamin understood him well; he wouldn't file a false report. Even if Benjamin and his police officers didn't find any guns during their search, Benjamin would still secretly assign people to monitor the Manor. The next time he tried to force his way in, would Noah Reyes dare to brazenly pull out a gun? This wasn't Emperor's territory. They couldn't expect to act so arrogantly here!

"Alright, I'll bring people over to search right away!"

Benjamin Robinson decisively ended the call. Illegal possession of firearms was a serious crime.

After calling Benjamin, Glades Horne's expression softened slightly.

Hansen Ruiz's actions mirrored those of Glades Horne. He also called the police. His call and Glades's call came into Benjamin's cell phone one after the other. Receiving two consecutive reports about the same matter, Benjamin didn't dare to take it lightly. He took several astute and capable criminal police officers, driving two police cars toward the outskirts.

After Glades Horne left, Noah Reyes immediately ordered Deon Myers to hide all firearms and ammunition because the law here didn't allow for illegal possession of firearms.

When Benjamin and his officers arrived, they naturally found nothing, not even Noah Reyes.

It had to be said, both Noah Reyes and Glades Horne were equally matched in intelligence.

「As winter yielded to spring, nightfall arrived with particular swiftness.」

It didn't seem that long since the children returned from school when the dark sky closed in, stretching its curtain over the entire earth.

"Mommy, has Daddy come back yet? I miss Daddy."

After being picked up by the bodyguards at Julia Bluen's instruction, Billy played for a while with Ivan Horne and Ruby Bluen's children. As darkness fell and he saw Adele Horne and Julia Bluen returning home together, he rushed into Adele's arms and asked.

Adele Horne bent down to pick up her son, gave his handsome little face an enthusiastic kiss, and asked curiously, "Billy, why are you asking about Daddy again? Hasn't Mommy told you? Daddy is working in a very distant place. It's so remote that there are no flights, no cars can reach it, there's no electricity, and no phone service. Billy, you just have to wait patiently with Mommy, and Daddy will come back."

Billy Horne hadn't asked about his father for a long time, and his sudden inquiry today took even Julia by surprise.

"Billy, did someone bully you at school? Tell Auntie, and I will seek justice for you," Julia said as she walked alongside Adele.

She was just home to see her son and had to go out to meet a client in a while.

"No," Billy answered sulkily. He didn't know why, but today he suddenly really wanted to see Daddy and to know if his Daddy was as impressive as his grand uncle.

Adele and Julia exchanged glances.

Worried, Julia questioned Ivan, who also said that no one at school had bullied Billy.

"Adele, it looks like you really need to start considering your future," Julia Bluen sighed. Billy needed a father's love. No matter how much love they all gave him, it could never replace a father's love. The little guy's yearning for his father was too deep.
