In front of Langford Castle, only a few people could be seen doing odd jobs around the area. Two cars were parked to the side. A few children were playing football nearby, not paying much attention to anything. Everything outside the castle was calm and peaceful.
The silence was suddenly broken by a convoy of cars speeding in through the main gate, sending fallen leaves flying in their wake. The hum of engines echoed across the castle grounds.
Ten black Range Rovers came to a halt in front of the castle, one behind the other, drawing the attention of everyone nearby. The sight caused a stir. More than thirty armed guards stepped out of the vehicles and took up strategic positions around the area. Once the perimeter was secured, the driver of the middle car exited and walked to the back, opening the rear door.
