Although it was late at night, none of the Meskill family members felt the slightest bit sleepy, because a ghost that hunted for life lurked in the courtyard, and this ghost might decapitate them at any moment.
In the main house, the old butler, Greg Wolfe, wore a look of disgust, constantly gauging Gatlin Meskill's expression. He had guaranteed that Yusuf Zuck had been taken down, but now Yusuf Zuck was slaughtering the Meskill family members. His well-intended actions had gone awry, leading the Meskill family to face the brink of extinction.
The elder Mu remained motionless, while Alvin Escobar, accompanied by two grandmasters and a Truth-Insight, paced back and forth in the courtyard, also trying to locate Yusuf Zuck's hiding place.
Donald Meskill stood at the entrance of the main house, holding his sword, his gaze sharp as a blade.
