............"Everything, young Miss. Your brother is none other than the person chosen by God Elandor himself, so he is God's Heir and our Lord," Astrid and Phia said in unison, their voices carrying a weight of reverence that made Aria's eyes widen in astonishment."And just as you are thinking, he is second only to God Elandor himself to us. Since God Elandor cannot descend to this mortal world, our Lord, your dear brother, is the very person we worship with utmost respect and loyalty. Everything in this world is his to command," Phia tone was filled with sincerity as she emphasized the profound devotion they held for their Lord."Ahh...this is something else. I need to sort this out, seriously. My dear brother has gotten involved with something absurd!" Aria exclaimed, holding her head in her hands as she gestured for them to stop giving her creeps.She muttered anxiously, becoming worried about her brother's involvement in what seemed like a crazy situation.Aria had no idea how

............"Grrr... Are you playing with me...!" Darius couldn't control his anger, gritting his teeth and glaring furiously at Isla DeVere. His fists clenched at his sides, knuckles turning white with the intensity of his emotions."Hehe... it's very fun to get a reaction out of you...!" Isla chuckled at his reaction, a mischievous glint in her eyes as she leaned back in her chair, seemingly unfazed by Darius's anger."Wait... wait... Ms. DeVere and Brother, calm down and let me talk." Damien intervened, his voice calm but firm as he tried to diffuse the tension in the room.He placed a reassuring hand on Darius's shoulder, urging him to relax."Ms. DeVere, I'm sorry we interrupted your fun, but we were in a pickle, as you saw. Our Blackthorn family was raided by the police a while ago, and we're the only ones who managed to escape. Everyone else should be in prison by now," Damien Blackthorn apologized and explained what had happened to their family."Oh, something like that happ

............Just then, the wild man slowed down, his movements becoming sluggish before he collapsed to the ground, as if his strings had been cut."Whoa...there...!" The second man shook his head, feeling the soreness and pain from the intense encounter before shrugging it off."Hmmn, he's quite tenacious, still breathing even after using the corrupted knife," the first man commented as he knelt beside the fallen wild man, checking his pulse with a furrowed brow."Next time, give me a heads-up before we get into this kind of situation," the other man grumbled, rubbing his sore wrist."Hey, calm down. He didn't manage to harm you, did he?" the first man reasoned, holding up his hands in a placating gesture."Still, it would've been nice to know. If I hadn't worn this bangle, my hand would've been broken," the other man retorted, his frustration evident as he glanced at his reddened arm."Alright, alright, I'll remember next time," the first man conceded, understanding his companion'

............Five days later,"Mommy...mommy, look, that uncle is doing something weird with his hands!" A little child, not older than 5 years old, tugged on his mother's hand as he pointed at a middle-aged man standing nearby.The man was moving his hand around in a clockwise motion before returning it back, repeating the action a few times.The child looked at him curiously, pulling his mother's hand to get her attention."Ah, come on, cutie, don't disturb mommy. I'm talking with your Dad here!" The mother warmly nudged the child, trying to focus on her phone call with her husband. She glanced briefly at the man, noting his strange behavior before returning her attention to her call.Meanwhile, the man standing nearby was engaged in conversation through his AirPods. "Yes, I am done with my position. I am setting up another core point 100 meters away. Yes...yes, please don't worry, others should be done with their positions too by now!"After finishing his task, the man moved on

............"Have a taste of this...I don't fucking believe that you can get away from this masterpiece of mine...!" he taunted, a twisted grin spreading across his face as he prepared to inject Aarav with the deadly serum."What's that...you fucking shit...Whatever it is, I won't let you get near me!" Aarav's heart raced as he noticed the syringe, the swirling tendrils inside filling him with a sense of dread. He recognized the ominous feeling from his encounters with the disgusting Malevolent Worms and knew it spelled trouble."Swiish....Swooosh...!" The man launched an attack, but Aarav was prepared. "Bammn...Sliid...!" With lightning reflexes, he delivered a powerful roundhouse kick, sending the man staggering backward and to which the man preventing himself from crashing onto the pavement like his partner."Swiish...!"The attacker recovered quickly and surged forward again, but Aarav remained vigilant.His heightened senses allowed him to anticipate the man's movements and
