Chapter 209
"What's the hurry, you won't die anyway."
"Didn't you just say 10 seconds, you lied to me?" Fred realized that he had been tricked and was about
to pounce on Madeline, however, his chest was too painful, and he felt weak.
"All fair in war. You should know that, right?"
"You are such a wicked woman!"
"Thanks for the compliment."
Fred was so infuriated by Madeline’s shamelessness.
Madeline approached and looked at Fred on the ground condescendingly.
"Assistant Fred, since just now you appeared, several minutes have passed, I have not seen anyone
coming here yet, could it be that you came to meet me secretly?"
Fred lowered his head without saying anything, as his plan was exposed.
"Looks like I guessed it right, I just wonder what your motive is? You wouldn't want to take the
opportunity to kill me, right?"
With doubt, Madeline continued to question him.
"Mr. Joseph was really into you, but I can't stand it, he became soft-hearted because of you, however,
you are no match for him!"
Fred held on his wounded chest, and accused Madeline without hiding his hatred.
Madeline was speechless for being accused inexplicably.
"You are really loyal to your master, it's just a pity that a villain's loyal servant will always end up with
nothing good."
"What do you mean?" Fred was confused.
"What I mean is, tell Joseph that I appreciate his feelings for me." Madeline smiled smugly.

Even Fred spaced out for a moment.
But his anger and hatred made him come to his senses quickly.
" What makes you feel good about it? Mr. Joseph was just blinded by you, don’t be too confident!"
"Although I don't like Joseph, that doesn't mean I allow his side dog to bark at me!" Madeline scowled
and shot him a murderous look.
"What are you trying to do? Argh!”
Fred sensed danger, but before he could react, he was kicked out by Madeline.
Fred didn't expect a woman to have such great strength, and this kick directly sent him flying.
The worse thing was he hit the wall before landing, followed by a flight of stairs. He rolled down with a
grunt, only able to stop at a platform.
For so many years Fred served Joseph in the Quincy’s, he never had encountered such a failure, he
spit out blood furiously.
Madeline stood and watched him from above the stairs, like the goddess of life and death.
"Keep in mind that, a mad dog will get beaten up. It's unlucky for me to be favored by your master,
moreover having his side dog bark at me. Please, reach out for medical assistance if you all are
mentally ill.”
"You! I won't let you away!"
Fred gritted his teeth and cursed angrily, but before he spoke any word, he felt a crossbow pierced
through his arm.
He let out a blood-curdling scream and looked at Madeline indignantly.
Only now did he realize that this woman actually had a sleeve crossbow hidden.
"What a coincidence, I didn't intend to let you go either, it just reminds me that a dead person can
deliver a message too. Goodbye, Joseph’s loyal assistant."
Without any expression, Madeline looked at Fred, the crossbow in her hand was raised again.
Seeing her coming for real, Fred instantly wimped out.
"Stop! I was wrong, I crossed the boundaries, I shouldn't have offended Ms. Madeline, please be
merciful to me."
"Heh, I thought Joseph’s assistant will be a tough one, but I didn't expect that he could be such a weak
one!"
Another crossbow arrow had pierced through Fred’s other arm again.
Fred cried in pain and glared at Madeline.
"You bitch! You won’t die well… Argh!"
Madeline ignored his words, and straightaway shot both of his legs.
"Oops, my bad."
"You!"
"It looks like the security here was purposely removed by Joseph, I will take my leave first, as for you,
good luck."
Madeline smiled recklessly, then continued up the stairs.
Even her escape route was delayed, but no one appeared. She was even more certain that the people
in this castle had been withdrawn on purpose.
The aim was obviously to let her meet Angie and obtain the wrong information.
She had slowly confirmed that Joseph had something to do with Gordon’s death.
While thinking about this, she arrived at the basement first floor of the castle.
She was greeted by an ancient door engraved with special graphics. The door isolated the entire first
floor. Standing in the hallway, she was unable to see anything but the door.
What might be behind it?
The totem on the door looked a bit familiar, Madeline could not recall where she had seen it.
She took a picture of it and quickly followed the stairs up.
Soon she came to the door leading to the ground up there.

Madeline used the heat detector, and after making sure no one was outside, she was ready to open the
door and leave.
"Ms. Madeline, Ms. Madeline, can you hear me?" As Madeline had just put her hand on the doorknob,
she heard a click of signal connection from her earphones, followed by someone’s voice.
"Albert?"
"It's me, Ms. Madeline. I finally reached you, how is the situation on your side, did you face any
danger?" Albert sounded worried.
Since he lost the signal, he had been trying to repair it. By the time the signal connection resumed, he
hurriedly linked with Madeline’s signal.
The images in front of him were also being restored, and soon Madeline’s figure was projected.
"I'm fine, now I'm ready to leave the ancient castle, lead the way." Madeline lowered her voice to give a
simple explanation, then prepared to move.
Unexpectedly, Albert stopped her.
"Wait, Ms. Madeline!"
"What's wrong?"
"Joseph is back, he seems to have brought a lot of people behind him, and now he is entering the
ancient castle ..."
In the monitoring screen, Joseph had returned, got off the car, and directly went to the basement.
It looked like he was about to enter the main hallway.
"What!" It can’t be that coincidence!
Madeline was terrified and panicked. She tried to look for somewhere to hide.
But there was nothing here except the stairs!
"It's too late!" As Albert's anxious voice just fell, Madeline watched the door handle in front of her
pressed down.
