How does it feel to see the scene you typed in your computer unfold in front of your eyes?
Seeing these characters he invented come to life leaves a bad taste in Kevin's mouth. He forcibly swallowed the unsettling feeling and puffed his chin up.
Hmph, do you think these things can shake this master? Dream on!
Lawrence swiftly caught up with Kevin. Using two slender arms he picked him up and straddle him.
The people below noticed the movement and stared at Lawrence.
An awkward silence fills up the room. Lawrence quickly scanned his family's bewildered and a little nervous expression, while taking in the police officer's questioning glances.
"Your youngest son?" The police man with a round hat asked.
"Yes, Lawrence son, why did you come out of your room? It's not good for your health if you wander around. It's cold." The mother beckoned Lawrence to come at her.
Lawrence did not answer and approached them. Lawrence's father deliberately moved away from his wife for Lawrence to sit down.
Nala, the proud majestic cat raised its chin arrogantly. He noticed the side glances Lawrence's brothers had been sending in their direction. It's clear they don't want him here.
Bullying his main protagonist eh? Hmph! I dare you to try!
Nala, the proud protector of his servant, jumped down from Lawrence's arms and stood on top of the table. He cast a ferocious glare at the three brothers and made a loud meow, meow, meow, showing his contempt at them.
Lawrence noticed how his brothers look at him and he could not help but raise a brow when Nala, this small and frail black and white cat jumped in front and show hostility at them.
Lawrence was about to reach out and take Nala away when Nala's body suddenly stiffen.
One of the three brothers glances at Nala. As if it was the trick of the light, his eyes briefly flashes red before it dissipate.
Lawrence would have mistaken it as the trick of the light if it wasn't for Nala's body stiffening right after.
The smooth long tail was straightened with all its fur standing up.
But none of the people in the living room paid attention to this weird pet any longer. Due to the nature and culture of the family, none of Lawrence's parents and siblings were fond of animals. They don't even allow dogs inside the manor and have been very strict when it comes to seeing bugs or insects inside the house.
Only Lawrence's pet, Nala was an exemption.
Lawrence knew of this fact and protectively wrapped Nala in his arms, vigilantly observing his surroundings.
He knew the main reason why the original owner did not want to be separated from his cat.
Because these three brothers are ruthless towards animals. If Nala leave his sight, they can have the opportunity to brutally kill it and hide its body somewhere. And no one will know.
But what was that brief color changed of his brother's eye? Lawrence's narrowed his eyes.
The young man discovered Lawrence was staring at him so he shifted his gaze. Lawrence did not meet the young man's eyes and quickly averted his head to the police officers behind them.
The police officer with a round hat asked many questions to Lawrence's parents. Such as what they are doing at the time of the deceased's death.
The madam explained she was busy entertaining guests, he and her husband were inseparable as they exchange pleasantries with them.
The police officer in charge of watching the cctvs in the mansion also confirmed this. Because Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are the organizers, they hardly left the venue for the whole duration of the party.
They stood at the center of the stage, their back figures and side appearances are always in the camera view. But for the three brothers, only once or twice were they caught by the camera.
So the round hatted police officer shifted his attention to the kids. At first glance, it was obvious these young men are in high school. The oldest one was in his way for college. The round hatted police officer observed his calm and indifferent demeanor, as he asked him question.
It was a total of ten questions. And each one of them was answered briefly and straight to the point. The oldest brother did not flinch nor show any strange behavior. He just sat there with an expressionless face, meeting the scrutinizing gaze of the police officer head on.
The round hatted police officer asks each child standard questions and none of them show any peculiar reactions. They just sat there obediently and blinked before opening their mouths.
'Are these kids have nothing to do with the case? The parents obviously are....' The round hatted police officer thought.
'It's better to shift his focus on the servants.'
Nala, the proud black and white majestic cat, raised its chin in the air.
There's a fishy smell of blood lingering faintly in the air. Towards the direction of the oldest brother, the same young man who glared at him.
Kevin could not forget that oppressive feeling. Especially when those eyes flashes and landed on him. He wasn't scared, but that glare contained unexplainable power that caused him to freeze. If Lawrence did not pick him up, he would have stayed in the same position at the tabletop, stiffening so awkwardly.
Nala struggled to get out of Lawrence's arms, sensing something. But the more he struggled, the tighter Lawrence held him down.
Nala, with his big round jade eyes, looked up at Lawrence.
"Meowwww ~?"
'Let me go servant. This master just detected a clue. I need to find it!'
The sound of coquettish pleading entered Lawrence's ears. His heart was inexplicably scratched by such soft meow but he remembered the changed eye color. And he suppressed the desire to give Nala what it asked.
He leaned down his lips and kissed the forehead of the small frail black and white cat.
"You can't roam around now. It's dangerous." Lawrence warned in a low voice.
