Lilim searched the entire room and turned it upside down but couldn't find Maria. She immediately rushed out of the room and rang the alarm. However, the alarm didn't go off.
"Security!" Lilim yelled. "Security!"
She rushed to the main security room to manually ring the alarm as the maids and butlers rushed to Lilim after hearing her yells.
"Is everything alright?!" one of the maids asked.
"No! Lady Maria is missing! Inform everyone and start the search! Close every gate and initiate the lockdown!"
After that, Maria ran straight to the security room, where two maids were watching over everything.
"Ring the--"
Psssssp~
Lilim's body suddenly fell to the ground with a loud thud.
THUD!
The maids had used a spray to make Lilim unconscious.
"All according to the plan," one of them said.
"I thought we would be able to escape without getting noticed, but this bodyguard of Maria surely is very perceptive. One would try to find the girl, but instead, she came here to ring the bell."
"It's good that we noticed it."
"All the credit goes to me, who suggested wearing the maid outfits to get unnoticed."
"What should we do now?" the maid asked.
"Rusher, his wife, Maria, and their parents have already been taken to our hideout. Let's take this bodyguard too."
"Yeah, good idea."
The maid not only deleted all the footage and evidence left but also destroyed the physical servers present in the room.
"Are we done here?" the other maid asked.
"Not yet. This bodyguard has informed the other maids and butlers, and they will soon inform the others. I have already destroyed all sorts of communication from the outside, so they can't contact them even if they try to.
However, we have to take care of the ones inside. They can ruin our planning and destroy everything we have done so far."
"Let's finish them off then."
"That's easy for you to say--"
The maid stopped speaking when she felt something sharp poking her leg. When she looked down, she saw Lilim trying to stab her with a dagger. However, Lilim was still in a dazed state and didn't have enough energy to do so.
The maid quickly grabbed the spray and used it on Lilim again.
"Are you kidding me?! That dose was enough to knock out an elephant for hours! How was she still able to move after that?!" the second maid asked in disbelief with a baffled look on her face.
"That's because she is not a human, you idiot."
"Oh~ Is she one of us?"
"No."
"Well, whatever. What do we do now?" the second maid asked.
The first maid pointed her gaze at Lilim and said, "You carry her. I will take care of the ants outside.
"Outside as in outside the estate? Wasn't our plan to not alert anyone?"
The other maid smacked her on the head and said, "Outside as in outside this room, you idiot!"
"Oh, okay."
The second maid carried Lilim with one hand while the other maid rushed out of the room. She saw everyone was running here and there and not paying attention to her.
"Listen, you fools!" the second maid yelled. "You all are useless! Even as a maid or assassins, and as butlers or bodyguards! You had only one job, and you couldn't do that!"
The maids and the butlers were confused as to what the maid was talking about. But they all realized what was happening when the second made came out while carrying Lilim with one hand like a grocery bag.
She was carrying Lilim in her suit shirt with one hand and using a phone with another.
The maids and the butlers who were present immediately took out their guns, but it was too late. The first maid had thrown a black ball similar to a grenade.
BEEP! BEEEP! BEEEEP!
It beeped louder and longer with every bounce as it rolled and stopped amid the ground of maids and butlers.
They all tried to run, but a bright light enveloped them all and engulfed them. All of them had disappeared into thin air.
After hearing the commotion, more maids and butlers came from all sides, but the first maid threw more balls and did the same thing with them.
The maids and butlers thought she had thrown a grenade, so they ran in the opposite directions, but they couldn't escape the bright light that could reach any and everywhere.
That continued for over fifteen minutes until they finally stopped arriving.
"I guess that's it, huh?" the first maid muttered. "They had around five hundred assassins and bodyguards as maids and butlers. Far more than mentioned on the record. However, no matter how trained they were, they couldn't win against the advanced technology.
"Did you kill them?" the first maid asked while typing on the phone.
"No. Our task was to bring the Ross family to the boss, by force or any means. These maids and butlers were just doing their job," the second maid replied while picking up the balls and placing them in her bag.
"I have captured them in this ball. We will give them to the boss, and it will be up to them what to do with them. Regardless, this mission was one of the most tiresome missions I have had in the past decade.
It's so guarded from inside and outside. The security system of this estate was top-notch. And the lock combination in everyone's room too. However, none of that matters if we can just enter and leave anywhere we want."
"I know, right?" the second maid chuckled. "Two maids infiltrated the most secured estate and abducted all the family members. This should be tomorrow's headline in the news."
The first maid stared at the second maid in disbelief.
"Also, they should have my photo on a full page and mention how awesome I am!" the first maid added with a proud and confident look on her face.
"You didn't even do a single thing. Why are you talking so big?! And put that phone down! What have you been doing all this time?!"
