............"Stop... Phia!" Astrid's sharp cry filled the air as she spotted Mordan standing menacingly in the middle of the road, his sword gleaming in the dim light.Realizing Mordan's intentions, Astrid acted swiftly, warning Phia before diving into the backseat and yanking open the car door."Click...click...Whoosh...!""Slaaash...Booommn....!"As the car doors swung open, Mordan lunged forward with terrifying speed, his sword slicing through the car with a sickening crunch before it erupted into flames, engulfing the vehicle in a fiery inferno."Tsk...those bitches got away!" Mordan muttered in frustration, clicking his tongue as he cursed under his breath upon realizing the car was empty."Search the park, they couldn't have gone far!" Mordan barked orders to his men, his voice ringing out with authority as he directed them to scour the nearby park for any sign of them.Beside the sliced car lay a lush green park, its towering trees casting long shadows in the dim light.

............On the same night,In a modest church nestled in a quiet corner of the city,"Father Deniel, the Starcrest hunting dogs have caused trouble again. What should we do?" A middle-aged man, dressed in the attire of the church, stood respectfully before an elderly man, addressing him as Father Deniel.Father Deniel, the venerable Archbishop of the church and the highest authority in Crystalbrook, listened attentively. This unassuming church served as the bustling headquarters of the Crystal Healing Organization in the city, overseeing operations not only in Crystalbrook but also in nearby areas."Just handle it as we always do, Bishop Dominic. Clean up the scene thoroughly and ensure there are no witnesses left behind," Father Deniel instructed calmly, his expression reflecting a sense of familiarity with the situation, as though he had issued such directives many times before."But it involves the Lord Heir. We've received news that he arrived in our city not long ago!" Bis

............"Damn it... I always wondered why my father showed no concern for my mother's health. Now it all makes sense. Those assholes were behind my mother's suffering!" Astrid exclaimed, a mix of anger and realization flooding her emotions as everything finally clicked into place.Now everything made sense—why she had been given the cold shoulder and why her family's treatment towards her had turned harsher as her mother's health deteriorated.Her anger towards her family intensified. Previously, she had only been angry about them neglecting her mother's health and keeping her confined, but now that anger turned into pure hatred."My Lord, please, can you help my mother and treat her?" Astrid pleaded, reigning in her rage as she turned to her Lord for assistance."I'm sorry, Astrid, but this Ebonite Venom isn't your ordinary poison. It's ancient and potent, and my Divine Energy isn't strong enough to reach its core without dissipating," Aarav apologized helplessly, his expressio

............The scene exudes a sense of longing and farewell, with the man's gesture conveying a desire to reach out to the woman even as she moves further away.The use of warm tones and soft lighting enhances the emotional depth of the painting, evoking a bittersweet sentiment of separation and yearning."Excuse me, Uncles! May I share my thoughts? I have some knowledge of paintings," Phia's voice rang out confidently, catching the attention of the two middle-aged men."Oh, young lady, do you want to give it a try? Go on, express your thoughts!" The first middle-aged man smiled warmly, his eyes twinkling with curiosity."Alright, go on. Young people often have much better views than us," the second middle-aged man nodded, gesturing for Phia to approach the painting."Thanks, Uncles!" Phia smiled appreciatively before stepping closer to the artwork. With a focused gaze, she studied each brushstroke and detail, immersing herself in the layers of meaning woven into the canvas."The p

............Meanwhile in the capital,In the heart of Eldoria stood a majestic building, adorned with the words "Council Hall" in bold letters.The Council Hall holds immense importance, serving as the place where the five ruling families have been shaping the destiny of the Realm of Elandor for centuries.The walls, intricately designed despite their age, exuded a magnetic charm.Inside the grand building, a spacious hall unfolded, featuring six elevated platforms, each adorned with a throne.These thrones belonged to the heads of the five ruling families, while the sixth, the most significant, belonged to the highest authority of the Crystal Healing Organization, the Pope.In recent days, after the Current Generation Divine Heir was chosen, the organization sensed division among the five families.
