When Zane opened his eyes, it didn't take him long to realize that he was now in an unused warehouse, hundreds of miles away from the backyard of the palace, deep in the forest.In the dim candlelight, in a corner, he saw his father, mother, wife, younger sibling, and two children sitting on chairs with their hands tied behind their backs, just like he was. They were still unconscious from the effects of the anesthetic Zane had just inhaled."Father!""Mother!""My love!""Aaron!"Zane called out to each of them, but none of them opened their eyes. Then he gathered his strength to free himself from the restraints on his hands.Zane, like Wayman and Aaron, was a Warrior. Even though their inner strength hadn't reached the pinnacle of the Eagle rank, it should have been more than enough to break the bindings on their hands.Strangely, no matter how hard Zane tried, he couldn't use his internal strength, as if he didn't have any. "Damn, what happened to my body?""You won't be able to us

Dolcie came out of the room with a forced smile on her face.Seeing the girl, Rufus approached her and said. "Miss, are you okay? You don't have to do this if you don't want to!"His face showed that he didn't want to, but in his heart Rufus was grinning mischievously and triumphantly.He knew the girl was in a dilemma: she might not want to continue the marriage with a man she didn't love. But she wouldn't just ruin this wedding party."I will do it. I will marry you!" Dolcie said softly, lowering her head slightly, not looking very comfortable as she said those words.Hearing these words, Rufus screamed with joy in his heart. But he tried not to show his feelings too much."But on one condition! If you agree, we can go ahead with this marriage. But if not, there is nothing I can do to continue!" said Dolcie, this time with a firmer expression and tone than before.Rufus frowned. Even though he was sure that he would get this girl, his instincts still told him that there was a certai

Daniel descended to the ground and looked around, checking for any guards or Warriors nearby.Once he was sure the situation was safe, he walked to the corner of the building and approached the door that would lead him to the unused archive room.Daniel turned the doorknob, but it was locked. After Aaron had walked through that door earlier, he had indeed locked it.Daniel remembered what he had seen in Amelia's vision. "Miss Harper put the spare key here."Daniel checked a pile of books on a large shelf next to the door. He examined several books until he found a key that matched the one Aaron had used earlier.Daniel opened the seemingly weathered door and walked to the corner where the Tectona map painting was.Daniel used Harper's memory stored in Amelia's vision to figure out the code to unlock the door."I hope she didn't change the password!" Daniel whispered softly as he punched several numbers into the screen next to him.Beep! Beep! Beep!The door opened successfully.In a h

"I know what kind of man Rufus is!" After recalling childhood memories that Rufus had previously sealed, including his memories of his biological father, Archibald didn't want to let these three individuals enter the mayor's building without backup."If he can fool me and all the Tectona nobles, and even all the city's residents, it won't be hard for him to get rid of us!"The three young men and women agreed with him. However, their worries grew stronger. "Mr. Amaro, Daniel is on his way to Rufus' location! He may have reached him by now!"Archibald looked surprised this time. "There is no doubt that the young man is the true hope and future of Tectona! I can't let him face the old man alone!" Archibald thought to himself.But then something crossed his mind. "I don't want to leave Daniel alone in there either. But if we go in unprepared, I'm sure that instead of helping Daniel, we'll just be risking our lives in vain!"Once again, the three young men and women agreed with his statem

The corners of the old man's lips lifted slightly as he spoke these words.Although he did not raise his voice, the tone was dripping with mockery.Daniel took a moment before answering the old man's question."I..."Before he could continue, the old man was at Daniel's side in an instant."You infiltrated this place and you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into?" He said, a hand quickly reaching for Daniel's throat."Kid, you should think twice before trespassing!"The grip on Daniel's throat tightened."Damn, he's incredibly strong," Daniel thought. Using more than half of his inner strength, Daniel tried to free himself from the old man's grip.But the old man's fingers were like vise grips and Daniel couldn't move. The grip felt like an unyielding stone."Do you think you can challenge me with such feeble strength? You are dreaming," the old man taunted.With those words, he moved aside with ease.Bang!Daniel was thrown to the ground, several dozen meters away.Clutching
