The guests were frightened when they heard the deafening sound. They had not expected to encounter such a situation when they came to attend the banquet. If it weren't for the electric fence behind the house, they might have fled long ago.

However, at this moment, they could only hide in the garden, trembling with fear, afraid that the mercenaries might chase after them.

Yeri was pulled by Mrs. Oh and took cover behind the wisteria rack. She could hear the tumultuous sounds growing louder and more chaotic from inside. The people inside had launched a counterattack, and it seemed highly unlikely that they would survive. It appeared that Lalisa would be killed without having her take any action.

As she thought of this, she couldn't help but smile. Sehun looked at her expression in disbelief, wondering how Yeri could still smile in such dire circumstances.

He asked, "Ri-Ri, aren't you worried about Big Brother Song inside?"

Yeri quickly put on a worried expression and replied, "I tried to stop him from going, but he didn't listen to me at all."

This response was even more baffling. Bambam and Lalisa were also inside, yet Yeri didn't appear to be concerned about them at all.

Just as Sehun was about to continue asking, he saw Lalisa and the others running out of the house. Everyone was surprised that they had managed to escape.

Yeri, in particular, couldn't believe her eyes. She was astonished that Lalisa had survived such a dangerous situation.

Struggling to control her emotions, Yeri quickly feigned concern and rushed to Namjoon, pretending to be distressed. "Big Brother, you scared me to death just now."

Mrs. Oh approached Lalisa with concern and asked, "Child, are you alright?"

Having known Mrs. Oh since she was young, Lalisa smiled warmly and reassured her, "I'm fine. Don't worry."

Sehun wanted to express his concern but found that before he could approach, Lalisa had turned to look for Jeon Jungkook. Slightly disappointed, he returned his attention to Mrs. Oh.

Meanwhile, several helicopters appeared in the sky and landed on the lawn. Fully armed special forces soldiers surrounded the banquet hall, their weapons at the ready. Cha Eunwoo rushed to assist them in opening the bulletproof glass.

With the military's arrival, the battle was officially over, and the remaining mercenaries were apprehended.

Jungkook's suit jacket was discarded during the chaos and lay on the ground. He stood confidently by a tree, making a phone call while catching the attention of many young ladies who blushed in his presence.

After ending his call, Lalisa couldn't help but ask, "Did you anticipate today's events?"

Jungkook, wearing a faint smile, replied, "Why do you think so?"

Lalisa raised an eyebrow. "The weapons used were top-of-the-line. They couldn't have been added recently."

Jungkook crossed his arms and casually responded, "Isn't it normal for the weapons in the house to be regularly updated?"

"You can say that, but your reaction is too calm. It's as if you've rehearsed this matter countless times in your heart. Moreover, when Jeon Hai disappeared, your expression wasn't surprising at all. From the open and secret struggles between you and him over the years, today should be a trap," Lalisa stated confidently.

Jungkook hadn't expected Lalisa to possess such insight, deducing the entire situation from his reactions. He found himself increasingly falling for Lalisa.
