Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 347: The Armory’s Mechanism Triggered, Ned Faris Narrowly Escapes Death…
Virgil Davies looked at Lisa, speaking with a face full of hatred: "You should know him, Your Majesty, he’s my half-brother—Adrian Davies! Aside from being the President of the Davies Group, there’s another identity of his that I bet Your Majesty doesn’t know, right?"
Without waiting for Lisa to say anything, Virgil continued with resentment: "He’s also the leader of Nightfall!"
Lisa was naturally familiar with Adrian Davies.
One must know, the events back then in the Davies family, she had a hand in them.
That boy, only half-grown at the time, actually killed Mistress Jade and thwarted her plans to expand her influence abroad in Whitehill...
She had always been curious about who the leader of Nightfall was, never expecting it to be him!
It seems it truly is a troubling matter.
But at this hour, Muir must have already fallen asleep; how could she find him now?
If she went to urge Muir at this moment, wouldn’t it arouse Muir’s suspicion instead?
She couldn’t go!
No matter how formidable Adrian Davies was, don’t forget this was Whitehill, her domain; could he possibly turn the heavens upside down?
What Lisa didn’t know was, Adrian Davies indeed had the ability to shake the heavens, but he simply disdained bothering to overturn theirs.
Because there was no need for him to overturn it, nor did he have the leisure to bother!
Lisa looked at Virgil Davies and rejected his request, "You should leave first, a single Adrian Davies is not to be feared. The plan remains unchanged, open the hidden passage at dawn tomorrow."
Virgil Davies wanted to persuade further, "Your Majesty, ..."
Lisa interrupted coldly, "Enough, no more talking, leave now."
Virgil Davies reluctantly turned and left, waiting for the break of dawn.
Lisa lay back down on the bed.
Thinking of the fake princess, thinking of everything that would happen tomorrow, she couldn’t help but smile at the corners of her mouth.
As long as the Jade Pendant was there, tomorrow the hidden passage would open successfully.
By then, the fake will die, and her Ellie would smoothly ascend the throne.
As for Muir, she would placate him well.
She would tell him that she, too, was blinded by the villain.
The real Princess Butterfly had already been murdered by the fake.
She and their daughters would remain by his side...
In thoughts, Lisa’s gentleness and gracefulness utterly disappeared, her gaze increasingly malicious and venomous, looking every bit like a malicious, snake-hearted woman.
Una Sutcliffe, Muir is mine, he can only be mine!
From the first glance I knew, you couldn’t beat me!
Just with you, how could you ever compete with me?
Now that you are dead, you are indeed lucky!
If it weren’t for you escaping, I would’ve surely imprisoned you.
Would have made you watch as I not only claimed Muir’s heart but also bore three adorable daughters with him, leading a life envied by all.
No matter destiny, you still couldn’t be with Muir!
And worry not, I will eventually win Muir’s heart!...
The people of Whitehill, each bearing their own troubles, await a calamity and tragedy!

Upon learning Melody Parker was not in Whitehill, Adrian Davies immediately left.
He didn’t believe Melody was dead, absolutely didn’t believe it!
He must find her, and he certainly would!
As Adrian Davies led his men out of Whitehill, Ned Faris was leading a batch of Nightfall people, patrolling a suspicious passage, precisely the secret passage Virgil Davies used to escape from the arsenal back then.
"Go in!" With a command from Ned Faris, Nightfall entered the passage.
Seeing the mechanism inside the passage, they knew they were on the correct path.
This was definitely another route to the arsenal.
They cautiously investigated, dismantling everything that could trigger the mechanisms, safely entering the arsenal.
But the moment they truly entered, Ned Faris and all the Nightfall members were dumbfounded.
The danger inside far exceeded their expectations.
This place was filled with various extremely hazardous robots and those unfinished ones capable of killing remotely, as well as cruelly drugged death warriors being refined...
The completed researches inside and the ongoing weapon developments—if mass-produced and made public—the harm inflicted on the world would be unimaginable.
They must completely eliminate these threats, never allowing them a chance to surface.
Ned Faris and Nightfall people immediately took action.
They infiltrated quietly, claiming the lives of those behind these weapons in the arsenal.
Initially, everything proceeded smoothly.
Whether the researchers developing weapons or the guards in the arsenal, all fell at their hands one by one.
However, just when Ned Faris and Nightfall prepared to destroy those weapons entirely, a sudden change occurred.
Whether by accident or a last-minute action by a researcher, somehow the mechanism was triggered; those robots, originally lifeless, slowly activated.
Thud thud thud...the first robot post-activation, after infrared scanning, incessantly fired bullets at people it detected.
Ned Faris and Nightfall attempted countering with bullets, but to no avail.
The bullets posed no threat to the robots whatsoever.
And this thud thud thud was merely the beginning.
Next came the activation of the second-generation robots.
These activated robots had massive bodies.
Similarly, they detected enemies through infrared scanning, but unlike before, they crushed and stomped everything they saw with their large hands and feet.
Then came the continuous deployment of robots.
The robots wielded rapidly rotating saw blades, reducing any enemy into minced meat.
More and more robots were becoming active, joining this battle between humans and machines.
The war quickly ended, with Ned Faris and his Nightfall members suffering a crushing defeat.
Aside from Ned Faris desperately escaping, of the Nightfall members, all perished at the hands of the robots.
Yet, although Ned Faris managed to escape, he was nearly dead, not far from death.
Outside the cave, the blood-covered Ned Faris dialed Adrian Davies’ number.
With his weak breath, almost none.
His voice pitifully faint.
But he persisted with the last of his strength, continuously speaking the words he wished and needed to say.
Even in his final confession, he would repay Adrian Davies.
"President...I’m sorry...we have failed. We found the entrance...entered Virgil Davies’s arsenal, resolved everyone inside, but what’s in there wasn’t destroyed. The robots inside were activated...all our people are dead. Sorry...President, I fear I can no longer be loyal to you..."
