Having offended the Jax family during the day, Reynord Fontaine knew that they would definitely take revenge. But he never expected it would come so quickly.

"We must not let them find us, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Reynord Fontaine's eyes were stern, he sat up from the bed and suddenly threw away the thin quilt with force. He hurriedly put on a robe, picked up a long sword from the bookshelf, and left through the secret passage of the room.

He knew very well that once he and Eloise Fontaine were discovered by the Jax family, they would be doomed tonight!

Reynord Fontaine was very fortunate that his father had built many secret passages in his home, which could connect his siblings with their father's study.

There are many secret passages that can lead away from the Fontaine family, and there are many exits!

It was these secret passages that still gave Reynord Fontaine hope of living.

Through these secret passages, Reynord Fontaine did not dare to be careless and quickly arrived at Eloise Fontaine's room.

Reynord Fontaine opened the secret door from the secret passage and entered Eloise Fontaine's room directly.

When he entered the room, what he saw made his heart ache.

A little girl in thin pajamas huddled up with the quilt in her arms, hiding at the end of the bed and trembling a little from time to time.

This little girl who seemed to be very frightened was Reynord Fontaine's younger sister, Eloise Fontaine!

"Eloise, don't be afraid, it's brother. Brother is here, don't be afraid."

There was some heartache in Reynord Fontaine's eyes, and he walked lightly towards Ao Eloise, who was hugging her into a Eloise Fontaine, and hugged her with all his strength.

"Brother, I'm scared. I heard someone entering our house."

The moment he heard Reynord Fontaine's voice, Eloise Fontaine gently let go of the quilt and hugged his brother tightly. The sound of crying came from his mouth.

Eloise Fontaine's hearing has been very good since she was a child, so she had already discovered when those mysterious people came outside Fontaine family.

It's just that she is relatively timid. Even if she discovers someone has entered Fontaine family, there is nothing she can do. I can only hug the quilt tightly to alleviate the fear in my heart.

With a look of heartache in his eyes, Reynord Fontaine also wanted to hug his sister tightly and tell her not to worry. But he knew that now was not the time to talk about this, he had to take Eloise out of here. Otherwise, if someone from the Jax family comes to visit them, both of them will be doomed.

"Don't be afraid, Eloise. Brother will take you to a fun place. Once there, these bad guys won't be able to find us."

Reynord Fontaine stabilized Eloise in his arms and spoke in a gentle tone to the trembling girl in front of him.

Although the Fontaine family was surrounded by everyone from the Jax family, Reynord Fontaine did not give up hope. Because the gate is not the only way to leave Fontaine family.

When the Fontaine family was designing the secret passage, they had considered escape, so they had already designed a secret passage leading outside the city.

As long as he enters the secret passage, Reynord Fontaine can completely leave Twilight City with his sister.

After leaving Twilight City, Reynord Fontaine would find another opportunity and take his sister back to Skai Academy. The dean of Skai Academy was there, and even the Jax family did not dare to go there to arrest people.

Although Eloise Fontaine has not passed the examination and is not considered a student of Skai Academy, but based on the years of friendship between his father and the dean, he should be willing to take in his sister.

"Well, Eloise is not afraid."

Stretching out her little hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Eloise Fontaine pretended to be strong and nodded towards her brother in front of her.

Eloise Fontaine is a sensible child. She knows that they are in danger at this time and it is not a time to be weak. If they cannot escape from the enemies who visit Fontaine family at night, they will all be in danger.

Seeing that his sister was so sensible, Reynord Fontaine nodded and stood up, directly holding her hand and walking towards the secret passage.

The moment he entered the secret passage, he closed the secret passage tightly, and Reynord Fontaine led Ao Eloise Fontaine forward in the dark night relying on his past memories.

After spending half an hour along the way, Reynord Fontaine finally led Eloise Fontaine to the end of the secret passage.

There is a door at the end of the secret passage, which is the last door leading to the secret passage outside the city. As long as they walk through this door, the two of them will arrive outside the city.

When he reached the gate, Reynord Fontaine could slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

Opening the door, Reynord Fontaine stuck his head out first and looked at the environment outside.

Outside, there are green trees and deserted surroundings. Apart from the clear chirping of trees and insects all around, not to mention the roaring sounds of beasts, not even the shadows of animals or beasts were seen.

After sticking his head out and peeking around for a week, Ao Ling saw no one there. Then he gently pushed aside the surrounding grass and climbed out from the secret hole in the secret passage.

After his body crawled out completely, Reynord Fontaine immediately turned around and stretched his hand towards the hole that was out of reach.

"Eloise, hold brother's hand."

The passage was unusually dark, and Reynord Fontaine was unwilling to let his sister stay alone in there for one more second.

A small hand stretched out and squeezed Reynord Fontaine's hand.

Feeling the residual heat on his palms, Reynord Fontaine gently used force to pull Eloise Fontaine out of the passage.

"I didn't expect that the possibility that the boss said would actually happen, that you would really escape from this secret passage."

A cunning voice sounded in the silent jungle.

This sudden sound made Reynord Fontaine's ethereal eyes shrink sharply, and he felt a chill in his heart. He never expected that the secret passage of the Fontaine family would be known to others, and that the other party would send people here to wait for his arrival.

At the sound of this voice, Eloise Fontaine body felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He began to tremble uncontrollably, and his face turned livid because of the fear in his heart. Her small hands tightly pulled Reynord Fontaine's clothes beside her, and her body trembled from time to time.

"Who is it? Who is here!" Knowing that the person coming was evil, Reynord Fontaine shouted at the surroundings like a frightened bird. With one hand, he gently held his sister who was clutching the hem of her clothes, and with the other hand, he held the long sword tightly.

With the long sword in hand, Reynord Fontaine barely had some courage in his heart.

A figure slowly walked out of the dense jungle. This man was seven feet tall and slightly fat. He was holding a machete that was one meter long in his hand.

The most shocking thing is that there is a terrifying scar on this man's face, starting from the center of his eyebrows. It seemed as if this man had been slashed in the face with a knife.

As the scarred man walked out of the jungle with fierce eyes flashing, he easily threw the machete on his shoulder, with a ferocious smile on his face, "Little brat, you don't have to shout so loudly. Since I am Those who come to harvest your heads will naturally appear."

Feeling the pressure from the scarred man in front of him, Reynord Fontaine sweated profusely from the palm of his hand that was holding the sword tightly.

Reynord Fontaine could feel that the person in front of him was no ordinary person, he was probably a real Martial Artist!
