Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 574

The couple complied and opened the box. Suddenly, a rich medicinal aroma was filled in the air, just exactly as what Walden had smelled in the day.

"It is really the Longevity Pill." Walden's eyes lit up. "Throw it here."

"First, let go of my son!" Scott's daughter-in-law demanded.

Walden frowned. He reached out and picked up the child, pinching his neck. "Lady, my patience is running out."

The woman suddenly took the pill box from her husband's hand, and moved a few steps back near to the big water tank in the courtyard. Pretending to dump the pills into the water tank, she said, "Let my son go, or I'll dump the pills in it. You do know, the pill is going to melt in the water. There is just this one box existing in the whole world."

Walden stepped forward in a hurry. Seeing her son's pale face caused by the pinch, the woman swayed her wrist. A pill fell from the box into the water. It disappeared even without a trace.

Walden understood that if the lady became too anxious, she wouldn't mind dumping all those pills into the water tank. Then he analyzed the situation and considered the fact that the family was way too outnumbered by his men. Even if he were to let the child go, he could still manage to get the pills into his custody. Suddenly, he pinched the boy into a coma and then threw him onto the ground. "Give the pills to me. Here is your child."

Scott's son picked up the boy in a hurry to check on him. Seeing that his son was safe and sound, he nodded at his wife. The woman heaved a sigh of relief, and pulled her hand away from the water tank.

"Lady, I have already released your son as promised. Now, hand over the box to me." Walden kept his eyes glued on the box in the lady's hand, ready to grab it at any time.

The lady sneered and said, "For a box of pills, you didn't even bother about a kid's life. Even if you take the Longevity Pills, you wouldn't have a good ending."

The woman waved her hand and threw the box out. A guard flew forward and caught it immediately. The couple, as well as the child, and Scott, looked at Walden warily. They thought of a way out, but the security alarm in their mansion was damaged by the assailants. Now, the family was left with no other choice but to wait until Walden got what he wanted, hoping that they would leave the place as soon as possible.

Walden took the box from his attendant and opened it. After confirming that they were indeed the Longevity Pills, he closed the box and walked out.

Seeing that Walden was about to leave, Scott's family breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were alive, they could refine the Longevity Pills again, so losing the pills wasn't a big worry for them.

But things didn't go as they hoped. As soon as Walden kept his foot outside the door, he ordered coldly, "Kill them all!"

Looking at the men in black who came back after leaving, Scott was quite shocked. Before he could react, the servant guarding the door was killed by a sword. He trembled with anger and yelled, "Son, escape with your wife and child quickly."

The woman took her son in her arms and rushed outwards, but they were surrounded and there wasn't a way out. They tried to exit through the back door, but it had already been blocked. Someone even set fire, and the entire mansion was in flames.

"Bastards!" Scott was enraged seeing his son lying in a pool of blood. He fell to the ground, seeing his daughter-in-law and his grandson being butchered right in front of his eyes. He wished to tear the killers into pieces, but he was helpless. Finally, he too was hacked to death in the cruelest manner.

Walden's men indeed left none to survive. Even a bird raised by Scott wasn't spared. The assailants made sure that none was alive in the mansion.

After butchering all living beings, they torched the whole mansion. Walden didn't even turn back to look at it, and disappeared with his people in an instant.

At the same time, a figure appeared at the door of Scott's mansion and jumped into the burning house. After a brief time inside, he came out with something and quickly disappeared.

In an old tree beside the mansion, a person was hiding behind a withered branch. Looking at the burning mansion, he spat out. "Felix's people are as heartless as ever. In order to get the pill, he burned out the whole family."

The sky looked red due to the fire. Under the bright light, the man's face was finally clear. It was Howard, who was nowhere to be seen after Hoffman's case.

"Mister Howard, are we not leaving?" a teenage boy asked as he stood under the tree and looked up at the man above.

"Why not? Let's go! Or somebody may think we have committed this atrocity." Howard jumped off the tree, and the teenager followed him in a hurry. They disappeared away into the forest.

The fire in the physician's mansion soon drew a lot of attention. Many people in the neighborhood were his clients and they observed that the fire was in the direction of his mansion. Scott had saved most of their lives using his wondrous pills. So the rescuers and the people in his neighborhood rushed in to help them. But the fire burned so violently that they couldn't even approach it. The fire lasted for a day and a night before it died out. People found many skeletons in the ruins.

Although an investigation was carried out on the death of Scott and his family, due to the lack of any compelling evidence, the investigation couldn't yield any fruitful results. The assailants were careful not to leave any trace, and then the matter was stalled.
