Aside from the acid rain still pouring madly outside, everything was just like any other day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re still in the mood to download TV shows?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale had barely slept all night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had many friends and brothers, and quite a few had lost contact because of the acid rain last night. Some were even dead...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, so I can watch them slowly later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs replied without even looking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are your friends... are they all okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They should be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Nina Jacobs had already received video calls from Chloe Pearson and Joanna Lynn last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them were both excited and terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Nina Jacobs, they both would have certainly met with disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Nina Jacobs was also safe and sound at home, Chloe and Joanna hung up, relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right. With a personality like yours, you probably don’t have many friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Leo Hale finished speaking, he received a rap on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that any way to talk to your sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hale didn’t look like he had slept well, either, and neither did Vera Coleman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Hale, Ma’am, breakfast is ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenna Sullivan had been listening to the commotion in the living room.

Since you’re pregnant, I thought I should make a little extra for you to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenna Sullivan forced a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched Nina Jacobs take a bite of the porridge in her bowl, and the heavy weight in her heart finally lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Nanny Sullivan, go and clean up the empty room upstairs for me. I want to prepare a study for Nina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera Coleman instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Ma’am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenna Sullivan didn’t want to stay here any longer, either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until she entered the kitchen that she realized her hands were shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I just don’t know how things are going on my son’s end.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Jenna Sullivan grabbed the cleaning tools, she had no intention of cleaning at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voices downstairs grew quieter and quieter, until finally, the entire villa fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She decided to go down and check the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenna Sullivan had used a large dose of sleeping pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she didn’t know where Ben Stone got them, the effect was clearly very good.

After today, everything here will be ours!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben Stone bumped into the coffee table, and the clinking of water glasses made him pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He poured himself a glass of water and gulped it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his eyes met a pair of beautiful, mocking ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water glass shattered on the floor. Ben Stone raised his axe at Nina Jacobs, whose eyes were now open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you awake?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was waiting for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs laughed out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How can this be?

I put it all in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenna Sullivan was on the verge of tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could react, Ben Stone swung the axe at Nina Jacobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera Coleman reflexively lunged toward Nina Jacobs, even extending her arm to try and block the sudden attack for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Nina Jacobs gave Ben Stone no chance to get close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ducked under the axe, then drove a punch upward into Ben Stone’s already festering face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AHH!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben Stone screamed in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Nina Jacobs had already flashed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the force of an elbow strike, she slammed Ben Stone straight to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben Stone distinctly heard the sound of his own bones breaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale and Daniel Hale finally reacted, using their hands and feet to pin Ben Stone down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You scared me to death! Are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera Coleman thought her daughter was incredibly cool, but she completely failed to notice that Nanny Sullivan, who had been kneeling on the floor just a moment ago, was now rushing toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs didn’t even consider Jenna Sullivan and her son a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never formally studied martial arts, but in her past life, she had relied solely on her Speed Element Superpower to kill zombies, and all her moves were ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Jenna Sullivan could even reveal the dagger hidden in her sleeve, Nina Jacobs grabbed her by the hair with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenna Sullivan’s head was slammed directly onto the coffee table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could even let out a scream, Jenna Sullivan was knocked unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs clenched her fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m already controlling my strength, trying my best not to kill anyone before things really begin.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom! You bitch! I’m going to kill you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben Stone struggled and yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You shut your mouth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale went over and kicked Ben Stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hale had already found a rope, and father and son worked together to bind Ben Stone hand and foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, your mom isn’t dead yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs didn’t kill Jenna Sullivan because she was still useful alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina, you know kung fu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been completely stunned by Nina Jacobs’s clean and decisive moves just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks to Nina. Otherwise, we’d all have been goners today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hale was still shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Vera Coleman had both received a message from Nina Jacobs that morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The message said that Jenna Sullivan was going to drug them. Although they didn’t quite believe it, they still played along with her act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They never expected it to be true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The police. Right, we need to call the police right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera Coleman picked up her phone, but after dialing, she found the line was constantly busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The acid rain hasn’t stopped, and the rescue teams outside are already stretched thin. I don’t think we’ll be able to leave for the next few days,\" Daniel Hale said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for now, they still didn’t know what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just lock them up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs crouched down and peeled back the gauze on the bloody, mangled side of Ben Stone’s face, a satisfied smile spreading across her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one saw her expression except for Ben Stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you planning to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben Stone had a bad feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll find out soon enough,\" Nina Jacobs said in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s security footage, so logically, we already have evidence. But what if these two end up dead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale had just been checking the home security cameras.
