A lock was set on both the front and back yards, and both the front and back doors were closed.
In the entire villa, aside from the seven elders, there were only the known faces of Amy Mansfield, Barton Mansfield, Rosie Sullivan, Fátima, and Nora Scott, who had yet to appear and was still on the second floor.
"Why are you closing the doors?!"
One of the sharp-witted elders noticed this, stood up from his chair, and looked solemnly at the young ones.
Amy Mansfield and Barton Mansfield exchanged a glance.
Before they could decide who would respond, they saw an official brought by Master Scott, with one hand in her pocket and the other playing with a badge, leisurely walking towards them.
"Who are you—"
The elder was about to lash out, but upon seeing the badge in her hand, he forcefully swallowed his words.
The higher the rank in Biel Hall, the more wary they became of officials.
