Startled by the sound, Judy hurriedly backed away and stared at the bedroom door.
“Come out if you dare!” she yelled.
Boom!
A sudden blast of cold wind hit Judy from behind and sent chills running down her spine.
As she turned around, a large hand swiftly grabbed her by the neck and hoisted her up.
Left dangling in mid-air, Judy found herself unable to retaliate.
With every passing second, she could feel her life slipping away as the grip around her neck tightened.
Flushed and gasping for breath, Judy was starting to lose consciousness when a voice suddenly rang out. “It’s you?”
The grip around Judy’s neck finally loosened, and she crumpled into a heap on the floor, gulping for air.
As she slowly raised her head to meet the gaze of her attacker, Judy got the shock of her life.
Isn’t this the man I’ve been searching for all this time?
“It’s you! If I had known it was you, I wouldn’t have barged in!” Judy exclaimed before explaining that she was there because of the Great Family of Frostford.
“Oh, I see!” Levi replied.
Mustering up her courage, Judy added, “What does the Great Family of Frostford want with you, might I ask?”
“They want to kill me.”
“What? Kill you? Are they crazy?” Judy asked incredulously.
“Leave now while you still can. You may not be as lucky the next time!” Levi ordered.
If he hadn’t taken a better look at Judy, he would have thought she was an assassin and killed her without hesitation.
“Understood!” Judy replied before leaving with a look of excitement on her face.
Now that she knew where Levi lived, she could take things one step at a time.
What a fruitful trip!
Not only did I find out what the Great Family of Frostford is up to, but I’ve also found the mysterious man’s place of residence!
Unable to contain her excitement, Judy ran all the way home to share her information with Thierry.
“What? You’ve found the guy?” Thierry shouted, clearly more excited than anyone else.
“Yes, that’s right! I know where he lives! His attitude toward me was also a lot better than last time!” Judy answered bashfully.
“That’s great!”
Even though Thierry was bubbling with excitement, Cora, Meredith, and Zoey didn’t quite share the same sentiments as him.
They were shocked that the man that had earned the respect of Theirry was about to step out into the limelight.
When did such a powerful presence decide to grace North Hampton, and why had none of us heard about it?
“Oh, there’s one more thing, Grandpa. The Great Family of Frostford is panning on killing him!” Judy whispered.
“Is that so? There’s a grudge between them, then? As powerful as the Great Family of Frostford may be, it’s going to be difficult for them to take down such a guy!”
“But, he’s still facing a death threat! No matter how strong he is, it’d still be easy for them to kill him!”
After giving it some thought, Thierry replied, “In that case, help me contact the council members of the Great Family of Frostford. I’ll get them to do me a favor and stop pursuing this matter!”
“No problem, Grandpa!”
“Once we’ve settled the matter with the Great Family of Frostford, we’ll take it as a token of my sincerity and invite our mystery guy to join our Great Family of Westford! Do you think he’ll reject us?”
Thierry already had his plans all laid out. He’d help the mystery guy to fend off the death threat from the Great Family of Frostford before extending the invitation to him. By then, the guy would be so indebted that he would have no reason to reject Thierry.
“You’d be doing him a big favor if you settled this matter for him, Grandpa. He should be so grateful toward you, so why would he turn down your invitation?”
“Good! I’ll see to this immediately and find him tomorrow!”
