Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 842: Today, Your Life Ends Here Carl was momentarily stunned by Tina's audacious move, forgetting to react entirely.

As Nathan fired his gun, the Langdon family descended into chaos, attacking with lethal force. However, the people Tina and Jared brought with them were either personally trained by Tina or battle-hardened alongside Jared. Their skills were top-tier, leaving the Langdon family unable to harm even one of them.

Eventually, most of the Langdon family members were captured. Those who weren't caught were individuals with supernatural abilities. They initially tried to use their powers to save themselves, but upon seeing Carl remain passive, they hesitated and withdrew their abilities. Without a command from the family head, they dared not act recklessly.

When Carl snapped out of his daze, he quickly regained his composure. No longer caring about the consequences, he unleashed his powers toward Nathan and Hayden.

He couldn't deal with Tina and Jared, but handling those without supernatural abilities? That should be as easy as slaughtering chickens! But then, Carl froze again.

His powers vanished into thin air.

Vanished-what kind of sorcery was this? Carl's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the scene before him. Everything he witnessed today defied his understanding.

This wasn't how things were supposed to be! The Hidden family was supposed to be the strongest! So powerful that even the government feared them! But why were his abilities useless against these people? As Carl stood there, dumbfounded, Hayden turned around, a cold smirk on his face. "With your little tricks, you're not even worth mentioning in front of Serena. Before we cto the Langdon family, she had us take Nightshade Draughts." Carl gritted his teeth. "What the hell is Nightshade Draughts?" Why had he never heard of it before? "Nightshade Draughts? It's Serena's latest invention-a pill designed to suppress the abilities of the Hidden family." When Tina handed them the Nightshade Draughts, Hayden hadn't understood its significance. After all, he had only just learned that the Hidden family even possessed supernatural abilities. Wasn't that kind of thing just for TV s? But when Carl's powers were directed at Tina and Jared, and the two of them remained completely unfazed, Hayden was immediately filled with admiration for Tina.

Serena was truly incredible! Always predicting the enemy's moves in advance! The Nightshade Draughts worked like a bulletproof vest. When Carl had attacked earlier, it felt like nothing more than a tickle.

Carl was speechless.

Tina wasn't human-she was a demon! Yet Tina didn't even spare him a glance.

She looked at her watch briefly, then turned to Hayden and said calmly, "It's been twenty minutes. If you can't capture everyone in the next five minutes, you'll write a repentance letter 200 times!" A chill ran down Hayden's spine. Writing the repentance letter 200 times? He'd rather go dig coal! Jared raised an eyebrow.

Hayden chuckled nervously. "Just kidding!" Not daring to waste any more time, Hayden and Nathan led their teams straight into the Langdon family's inner courtyard. However, as soon as they stepped inside, an invisible force struck them, sending their bodies flying out of the courtyard.

Even their teammates behind them weren't spared.

"Pfft!" Hayden and Nathan spat out blood, feeling like their bodies were falling apart.

Clutching his chest, Hayden's face turned pale as he looked at Tina. "Serena, someone's blocking the way. Can we pause the timer?" He really didn't want to write that repentance letter! Tina ignored him, narrowing her eyes as she watched someone emerge from the inner courtyard.

Grandpa Langdon walked out slowly, his expression solemn.

He surveyed the chaos around him before fixing his gaze on Carl. His face was devoid of emotion as he said, "Useless!" Carl's face flushed red. "I'm sorry, Father! It's my incompetence..." But before he could finish, his expression changed drastically when he saw the person standing behind Grandpa Langdon. "Why is he here?" The man behind the old patriarch glanced at Carl indifferently, his voice cold. "Ruud, the Langdon family's heir cannot be a useless man like you." "Shut up!" Carl roared. "I'm speaking to Father. When did you get the right to interrupt?" The world only knew the Langdon family had a second son, Luke. What they didn't know was that Luke was an illegitimate child.

Years ago, Luke's mother had schemed her way into Grandpa Langdon's bed and gave birth to Luke, the bastard child.

Initially, Grandpa Langdon didn't acknowledge Luke. To the old patriarch, the family's century-long honor was far more important than a son.

He wanted an heir who was exceptional in skill, talent, and ability.

After testing both sons, Carl outperformed Luke in every aspect, so Grandpa Langdon chose Carl as the successor.

Although Luke wasn't as capable as Carl, his intelligence was impressive. Grandpa Langdon eventually accepted Luke into the family, but only on the condition that he could never inherit the Langdon family's assets. Carl had always despised Luke. After being named the heir, Carl demanded that Luke be sent away to a separate estate, forbidden from appearing in his presence.

Surprisingly, his father agreed.

Over the years, Carl rarely saw Luke.

It was only because Luke stayed out of sight and out of mind that he managed to survive. Otherwise, Carl would have sent someone to kill him long ago.

Carl never expected Luke to appear now-and with his father, no less.

This morning, his father had claimed he was leaving to handle sbusiness.

Grandpa Langdon cast Carl a cold glance. In a hoarse voice devoid of emotion, he said, "From today onward, the Langdon family heir will be Luke." "What?" Carl's eyes widened in disbelief. "Father, what are you saying?" Slap!

Grandpa Langdon struck Carl across the face with an invisible "You've Lahore force run m run the Langdon family into the ground, and you still have the audacity to askwhy?" "I..." Carl wanted to explain, but his father had no interest in listening. "I'll deal with you later." Turning away, Grandpa Langdon looked at Tina. "I underestimated you. So, you're lan's biological granddaughter. No wonder he protects you so fiercely." After Tina and lan reunited, they publicly claimed she was his adopted granddaughter. Only a few close connections knew the truth.

Grandpa Langdon had recently noticed Tina's aggressive approach in her lawsuit against the Bailey family. Something didn't add up, so he investigated further.

He discovered that Tina's methods were always swift and decisive, with no room for delay. Yet, despitealready having evidence against the whaving Bailey family, she dragged out the case instead of handing it over to the government. This wasn't just about taking down the Baileys. She clearly had her sights on the Langdon family as well. Digging deeper, Grandpa Langdon confirmed that Tina was lan's biological granddaughter.

He looked at Tina coldly and said, "I by used to give lan srespect, but since you dare to act so recklessly in the Langdon family, don't blme. Today, your life ends here."
