Chapter 1839: The Duke of Devonshire is furious

In just a few seconds, nearly fifty elite special forces bodyguards who were patrolling the manor gardens were shocked.

At the same time, it also alarmed the Duke of Devonshire's family and some expert bodyguards in the villa.

Several figures soon walked out of the villa one after another.

"what's the situation?"

"What happened? Why were there gunshots and blood in the middle of the night, making the manor a mess?"

"What a big deal, why has it turned out like this?!"

Leading them was an old man who looked very majestic, like an old lion.

Upon seeing this, Gentman Devonshire lowered his proud head and dropped the gun in his hand. "I am really sorry, Your Excellency the Duke, for disturbing your and everyone's rest."

"Something ridiculous just happened that made me extremely angry and caused great losses to the Duke of Devonshire's family!"

"What nonsense?" The Duke of Devonshire's expression softened a little.

"Just now, someone disguised as Master Hook broke into our manor and even entered the basement, where he brazenly stole the Qing Dynasty Qianlong period's enamel "Wanshou Lianyan" gourd bottle." Gentman Devonshire said concisely.

The Duke of Devonshire's face changed slightly when he heard this. "What?"

"Someone showed up as Hook and stole our family's treasure?"

He turned his head and glanced at a direct descendant of the Duke of Devonshire's family standing beside him.

The member immediately understood and trotted towards the basement.

But after a short while, he came back with a very ugly expression, "The explosion-proof glass door was destroyed by violence!"

"I asked the control desk to retrieve the surveillance footage at the entrance of the villa."

"It was indeed a man who looked almost identical to Hook, who was accompanied by a woman, and had just left with a Qing Dynasty Qianlong period enamel gourd bottle with the inscription 'Longevity'."

"That guy was so realistic that I couldn't tell the difference between him and Hook from the console monitoring. Even the motion capture system in the basement couldn't tell that he was abnormal."

The Duke of Devonshire's cheek twitched when he heard this. Seeing this, Gentman Devonshire hurriedly continued, "Originally, when the fake Master Hook came out of the basement with the Qing Dynasty Qianlong famille rose 'Longevity' gourd bottle, I began to realize something was wrong."

"But that guy was very strong and even faster than me. He didn't even give me a chance to react before knocking me out."

"When I finally woke up with my super recovery ability and rushed out, that guy continued to pretend to be Master Hook and deceived the bodyguards patrolling the garden, saying that I was crazy."

"As a result, these idiots in the garden believed his lies and pointed their guns at me."

"I watched that guy being let go like that. I was so angry that I couldn't stop myself. Then what happened just now happened..."

When the Duke of Devonshire heard this, his eyes immediately turned cold, and a chill, like a dark cloud, almost pressed down on the heads of everyone present.

"I can allow my men to make mistakes, but I cannot accept you making stupid mistakes!"

The bodyguards, who already knew they had gotten into a big trouble, shrank their necks and lowered their heads when they realized that the Duke of Devonshire seemed to be about to lose his temper at any moment.

Upon seeing this, the Duke of Devonshire looked around the room and said, "All of you bodyguards are responsible for what happened today."

"According to the laws of the British Empire and the rules of the Duke of Devonshire's family, even if I kill you all now, the outside world will not say a word."

Many bodyguards trembled in fear.

But the Duke of Devonshire suddenly changed the subject, "However, today's situation is indeed special."

"That guy who played Hook was so convincing, it's not entirely your fault that you were deceived by him."

"So, I can give you a chance to make amends."

Upon hearing the voice, many bodyguards who had thought they were doomed immediately raised their heads and their eyes regained their spirit.

The Duke of Devonshire met their gazes and said quickly, "Whoever can provide useful information about the fake Hook can be pardoned and exempted from his guilt."

"And if anyone can provide me with clues to find him, in addition to being exempted from guilt, I can also promise to give him a generous reward of at least five million magnesium knives!"
