Chapter 542 THIS IS BAD
Apple sensed that there was something odd about her house as the car approached and that was why she didn\'t get out of the car right away when Jayden finally stopped right in front of her gate.
Of course, this reaction of hers left Jayden a little confused, especially since the girl didn\'t respond to his last sentence, and asked if something was wrong.
"What is it?" Jayden asked as he stopped his car right in front of Apple\'s house and saw the girl frowning as she stared at her own house.
Apple frowned and a moment later she looked at Jayden with questioning eyes. "Is my father home yet?" she asked.
"Yes," Jayden answered quickly. "Pyro was home before I even went to pick you up. What is it?" Jayden tried to find out if there was anything strange, but he couldn\'t find anything abnormal about the dark house.
And then Apple took out her cell phone and tried to call her dad, but each time, the call would go to voicemail, which made Apple even more suspicious.
"My dad\'s not picking up the phone," Apple said in a slightly unsettled voice. She didn\'t like situations like this and when her overthinking nature overtook her. "If he is home, it means he has been home a long time ago, but why is not the house light still on?"
After Apple said this, Jayden realized what was strange about the house that made Apple act like this.
"I will check it out," Jayden said, but before he could get out of the car, Apple had already gotten out of the car and carefully opened the gate of her house. She made no sound at all.
Jayden didn\'t like Apple putting herself in danger like this, but knowing how stubborn his partner was, he knew, nothing could stop her now, especially since Apple could protect herself too.
So, just in case, Jayden messaged Adam to send someone over to Pyro\'s house right away, before he followed Apple into her own house very carefully.
Jayden followed Apple behind him, but when they reached the front door, Jayden pulled the girl behind him and asked for the spare key that Apple had.
However, it was not needed, because as it turned out that the door was not locked and this of course added to their suspicions.
Apple became very anxious and restless, because she was afraid something might have happened to her father when he got home.
"Wait in the car," Jayden said in a cold voice, he didn\'t want Apple to be in danger, even though he knew this girl wouldn\'t be helpless if something happened. "Wait in the car until help arrives."
But, as expected, Apple was not that easy to comply with Jayden\'s request, she stared at the man in front of her fiercely.
"No," she refused firmly. "Why don\'t you just wait in the car," she grumbled.
Knowing that this argument could get them nowhere, Jayden relented and let Apple follow him into the house, but on the condition that she would be behind him and not out of sight.
Apple agreed begrudgingly and then the two of them went into the house and began to explore every room without turning on the lights and moving very carefully, making as little noise as possible.
Apple wanted to split up and check the house herself, but Jayden didn\'t agree, because he thought it would be better if they checked it together.
The two of them checked every room, and only when they arrived at the kitchen did Jayden see Pyro\'s body lying with blood pouring from his head.
Seeing that, Apple shouted for her father and immediately approached Pyro who was lying motionless, his heart rate was very fast because all the bad thoughts that could possibly happen to her father, began to appear in her mind.
But, right at that moment, Jayden saw movement in the corner of his eye and quickly moved before the stranger attacked Apple.
On the other hand, Apple also saw this and immediately rolled her body to the other side, her eyes were sharp when she saw the knife gleaming in the light, while Jayden grabbed the man\'s hand that was holding the knife and immediately twisted it until the knife fell to the ground.
Apple didn\'t think twice about getting rid of the knife by kicking it away and then ran toward her father, while Jayden and the stranger fought.
It was only after feeling Pyro\'s pulse and slow breathing that she could calm down a bit and then call an ambulance.
But, just at that moment, another man was about to attack her from behind, luckily Apple had a strong instinct and dodged the man\'s attack just in time, she also had the chance to kick the man\'s leg, causing him to fall.
This was her house, so Apple knew where the things were in his own house and immediately armed herself with a knife she took from the top of the kitchen shelf and threw it right at the man\'s feet before he could stand.
The man screamed in pain as the knife thrown by Apple plunged into his thigh.
At that moment, Apple took a glance to see how Jayden was doing and unexpectedly, the man was facing two other men and they both had small knives in their hands.
Apple could see a scratch on Jayden\'s cheek and this worried her a little.
These people were not ordinary robbers, they were trained assassins that were not to be trifled with. They couldn\'t lose focus for a moment because it would be fatal, especially since they were outnumbered right now.
Apple gritted her teeth and came closer to Jayden who was also approaching her.
"How\'s Pyro?" Jayden asked as they drew closer, his voice calm, even under these circumstances.
"My dad is fine, looks like a concussion, but alive." Apple said quietly when she felt Jayden\'s back against hers. "This is bad."
