While everyone watched in silence, the tightly shut mansion gate suddenly burst open with a loud 'boom' as the intricately carved wooden gate, worth millions, was kicked into splinters, sending debris flying all around. Those standing too close hastily covered their heads and scurried away.
At the gate, sawdust drifted away as two figures slowly emerged into view.

A light, mocking laugh drifted over.
As the laugh echoed, everyone in the courtyard instinctively turned their heads and focused on the gate. When they saw what was there, they were all stunned, speechless for a long moment.
At the entrance of the courtyard, a young man holding a beautiful woman in one arm and supporting a red coffin with the other hand was walking slowly toward them. The coffin shimmered eerily under the sunlight, sending shivers down their spines.
