............"Kekeke...! We have all night to experiment with our new subjects!" The first hooded figure joined in with a sinister laugh, his voice dripping with anticipation as they embraced their twisted plans."Once we're done with this village, we can move on to the next one. Those idiots from the Crystal Healing Organization will be busy dealing with this chaos for a while, Bwahahaha!" The second figure chuckled loudly, his words echoing eerily in the quiet night."You do realize that our actions tonight will be seen as declaring war on the Realm of Elandor, and those fools from the Crystal Healing Organization will be after us," the first figure reminded, cautious of the inevitable repercussions of their deeds."What, are you getting cold feet because of those weak-ass healers?" the second figure sneered, provoking his companion."Hell no! Why would I be scared of those useless idiots? I just want to make sure you understand what we're getting into, and more importantly, I want

............"Bella...Bella," Aarav called out, noticing Bella lost in thought with flushed cheeks, her emotions swirling within."Oh, sorry, Brother-in-law!" Bella snapped back to attention, feeling a mix of embarrassment and gratitude for his concern."I was just discussing a plan to help you get back at Lorei Blackthorn and Eirik Valethorne for harassing and threatening you," Aarav explained, reminding her of the trouble those two had caused her."But I don't know if I can face them alone, Brother-in-law," Bella expressed her concern about confronting them directly."Don't worry, Sister Bella, I'll go with you and support you every step of the way. We'll make sure they regret ever crossing you," Phia reassured Bella, her tone filled with gentle soothing as she squeezed Bella's hand, offering her support."Alright, it's settled then, Bella. Phia already knows the plan, so you just need to trust and follow her, okay?" Aarav concluded, addressing Bella with a firm yet reassuring tone

............On the other side, Bella and Phia sat in the cafe, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Lorei Blackthorne and Eirik Valethorne."Have they arrived yet?" Phia inquired, glancing around the cafe as Bella scanned the area mentioned by Lorei.After a few more minutes, Bella spotted the couple and recognized both of them. "They're here," she informed Phia, noting the presence of the two individuals they were waiting for."Okay, let's finish our coffee before we go meet them," Phia suggested, gesturing for Bella to savor the warmth of her steaming cup.They took their time enjoying their coffee as Lorei Blackthorne and Eirik Valethorne waited patiently."Sorry for the delay, we got held up in traffic," Bella called out as they approached the table, taking their seats across from the couple."No worries, Ms. Bella," Lorei smiled warmly, her eyes twinkling with understanding as she waved off any concern about the delay."And who might this charming individual be with you, Ms. Bella?

............Two days later,"Hey, did you catch the news? It was insane! Two days ago, DarkRise Holding's fancy office building got completely seized. Couldn't believe it at first, but seeing it for myself the next day made it sink in...""Yeah, I was skeptical too, but now it's crystal clear..."The city square buzzed with people, chatting lively about the recent news that had shaken the entire city.While the upper class expressed discontent over the Police Department's decision, the lower and middle-class families, who had suffered under the thumb of the Valethorne and Blackthorne families, overwhelmingly supported the action.Aeliana, the person behind this significant decision, not only received recognition for her actions but also earned a sudden promotion, replacing the envious and spiteful Vice-Deputy Chief Miller. Aeliana became a well-known figure in the city.In her new office, Aeliana sat proudly in her chair, her badge and nameplate now representing her as the newly ap

............"This is not good. I need to find the source of whoever is responsible for this. Otherwise, who knows how much stronger these worms will become in the future, and where or when they might strike next," Aarav muttered, wiping sweat from his forehead as he imagined the terror it could cause.Just at level 5, the worms had decimated the entire village. Aarav feared what devastation could occur if they reached level 10, capable of destroying an entire city."Hey, guys. Let's get to work one last time before we head back home... We need to give them a proper burial... help me out here!" Aarav shouted to the group, gesturing towards the gathered bodies.Before long, the team worked tirelessly to bury hundreds of bodies in front of the village. Aarav solemnly set fire to the remaining structures, cleansing them with his divine energy to remove any lingering negativity.As the flames crackled and the smoke rose into the sky, Aarav and the others stood in silence, paying their
