The entire estate was illuminated with lights, and soft, melodious music filled the air, pleasing the ears. Guests twirled and danced in the center of the ballroom while others gathered in groups, engrossed in lively conversations. Some preferred solitude, sitting alone in contemplation.Among those seeking tranquility was Louis, accompanied by a few other distinguished guests. Seated in his wheelchair, Louis was joined by Eden. Behind them, Ace frowned disapprovingly at Eden, finding his presence irksome.At that moment, the lights throughout the venue suddenly dimmed, and the music abruptly stopped. All eyes turned towards the grand stage, where the Master of Ceremonies (MC) announced with a bright smile, "Now, let us welcome the host of tonight's banquet, Mr. Campbell, to deliver his speech!"Mr. Campbell emerged from the wings amid the resounding applause of the guests. His face displayed a gentle, amiable smile that added a touch of warmth to his otherwise aging appearance.
Ace also temporarily set aside his suspicions about Louis' special abilities. He looked at Louis and said, "I find the people working in this mansion quite peculiar, in other words, very unpleasant."Louis couldn't help but think that it was natural. Most likely, the servants here were all puppets of Meister. It could be said that Ace had an exceptionally keen intuition. However, Louis didn't say this out loud. He reminded Ace, "Be cautious of all of them. They are not ordinary people."Ace's eyes turned cold and fierce as he looked toward the servants ahead. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, their heads will roll before they can do anything to you."Louis smiled, extremely satisfied with Ace's attitude and strong confidence. He dispelled the invisible barrier around him and Ace, then asked the butler, "Where does this path lead to?"The butler turned his head and smiled at Louis, saying, "We are passing through the area where we process fertilizer for the flowe
Ace grabbed Louis's wheelchair with one hand and pulled it along as if the object in his hand was just a tiny piece of wood, not the cumbersome wheelchair it seemed to be. He walked to Louis's side and furrowed his brows, saying, "This place is probably the burial site of dozens of people."Louis didn't say anything, clearly agreeing with Ace's words. He spoke lowly, "Let's keep going forward and see what's here."Ace nodded, and the two of them continued walking. Passing through the pile of human bones, they could see clothes and various miscellaneous items, obviously belongings of the deceased.Suddenly, Louis furrowed his brows as a card caught his attention. He bent down and picked up the card.Ace, standing nearby, was surprised and said, "That's an item from a dead person..."Louis raised an eyebrow, asking, "So what?"Ace was at a loss for words. Louis didn't seem scared or disgusted; he couldn't say anything more.Ace swallowed and walked closer to Louis, wanting to see w
"How's everything going?" Mr. Campbell anxiously asked Meister.Though eager to know what happened, he had no desire to venture into the so-called "fertilizer pit" where the grotesque creature resided. The mere thought of it disgusted him. He even avoided the beautiful garden, knowing the secret behind its beauty.Meister furrowed his brows but remained composed as he replied, "No issues. The puppets have arrived. They are the strongest, so there shouldn't be a problem."Just as he finished speaking, Meister suddenly stood up grimly. "This can't be!" he exclaimed.Curious, Mr. Campbell asked, "What's wrong?"Meister said gravely, "They can kill the puppets!"He knew that the puppets' weakness lay in their heads. However, the puppets' bones were unlike ordinary human bones; they couldn't be quickly shattered. Was that man still human?!"Crack! Crack!"The sound of bones breaking echoed from behind, indicating that Ace was fiercely fighting.Louis looked at the giant creature before
Louis stood before the merman statue, almost instinctively wondering, "How can I awaken them?" His voice urged him to keep moving forward, for his power would automatically do everything. Furrowing his brow, Louis shook his head vigorously until the strange sound vanished from his mind. Then, he continued to look at the statues within the deep pool. Finally, his gaze settled on the most beautiful and majestic merman statue he had seen in Benjamin's vision. Almost instinctively, he stepped forward and touched the statue once more. Louis calmed his mind and closed his eyes, summoning his energy. In no time, a dazzling silver light appeared where his hand made contact with the statue. Still with his eyes closed, lips moving slightly, he murmured, "In the name of the Chosen One, I wish for all of you to awaken." As he finished speaking, the light intensified to its peak, causing the entire cave to tremble. Louis sensed a transformation as powerful silver energy covered the e
Witnessing Ace's leap, Eden realized how foolish his previous thoughts were. Perhaps these people were not ordinary at all. Could an ordinary person hold a wheelchair and jump from a hundred-meter-high cliff, landing lightly?But before Eden could express his admiration, Ace furrowed his brow and said, "Prepare the formation; there's a horde of monsters coming towards us."Eden was bewildered. A horde of monsters? He didn't expect his act of kindness to get him entangled in this unrealistic battle. Nonetheless, he quickly commanded his men to prepare for the attack formation.Meanwhile, Leon looked at Ace and asked, "Where is the master?"Eden was also wondering the same thing. Why was it only Ace who showed up? In his hand, he held Louis's wheelchair, making it hard for people not to imagine the worst-case scenario.Leon squinted his eyes while looking at Ace. At this moment, he could sense that Ace was not normal. It felt like there was something inside him changing. He app
The tsunami swept across the land. The monsters couldn't withstand the force and were all carried away like rubbish. Ace's group had prepared to be submerged under the deep sea, but a sudden change occurred. The tsunami seemed to possess a life force as it enveloped them, lifting them high above, unaffected by the sweeping wave below. Eden was still in shock. He looked at his subordinates, who were all lifted by this strange wave, and his eyes widened in astonishment. Eden almost shouted, "What is happening? Did Leon or Ace do something?" Leon furrowed his brows, equally bewildered by this peculiar scene. He shook his head and looked at Ace. Ace said in a solemn tone, "The master has returned." Leon was astonished, and Eden blurted, "You mean Louis created this tsunami?" Ace furrowed his brows and shook his head, "I don't know for sure, but I can sense that the master is within this wave." Eden raised an eyebrow, doubting Ace's words. Nevertheless, their safety at the m
This staircase is very long; they have been walking for quite a while and still haven't reached their destination. Moreover, it's very dark below; the only light source is the silver energy in Silver's hand.Finally, they stood before a large door. The door appeared sturdy and impregnable, but Silver simply raised his hand, and his hand, like a masterpiece of art, suddenly transformed into sharp claws, effortlessly splitting the door in half.A swarm of giant beetles rushed out from inside the door, snapping their jaws menacingly as they quickly charged toward them as if they wanted to tear them apart instantly.At that moment, a faint sound suddenly echoed from the depths of the sea.Louis furrowed his brows slightly and then looked at Ace and Leon, saying, "Cover your ears."Both of them immediately followed the instruction.The giant beetles, which seemed to be ferociously attacking each other, suddenly stopped. They appeared to be questioning something, and then they flashed th
