"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
On a night at the residence of the elder Nathan. A loud and jarring sound, as if porcelain had been shattered on the ground, startled everyone.A servant stood before Olivia's room, anxiously knocking on the door, "Miss, are you alright?"From inside, another sound echoed, a sharp and eerie screech like a wild beast.The servant outside was terrified and dared not open the door, asking cautiously, "Miss..."Before the servant could finish speaking, a demonic-like voice echoed, "Get lost!"The servant jumped in fear and quickly fled from that terrifying room.Since her 20th birthday, Olivia had become increasingly strange.Not only did she defeat all the other heirs, but her temperament had also become much more reckless.Though no one said it out loud, everyone knew better than to provoke Olivia or make her angry. Even the servants disappeared without a trace if they upset her.However, the servants couldn't fathom what had triggered Olivia's fury this time. Earlier, her mood seemed
Leonard heard Louis saying he wanted to see Elder Nathan's body and did not object. He said, "Elder Nathan's body has been kept cold awaiting your examination."Upon hearing this, Louis couldn't help but feel a chill. He put on his coat and went to the private hospital under Leonard's guidance. Ace and Leon were told to rest, as they had fought hard on the island. Although Ace vehemently opposed taking a day off, Louis eventually forced him to stay home.Through this incident, Louis's perception of Ace had changed. He used to see Ace as a despicable lackey, protecting him only because it was his duty. He believed Ace would never do anything beyond his tasks. Louis had felt that way before.However, Ace exerted himself to protect and support Leon and Eden during the battle. Moreover, he seemed genuinely concerned for Louis, making Louis feel that perhaps Ace had changed, or maybe he had always been like this, but Louis just didn't know.The car quickly arrived at the private hosp
The funeral of Elder Nathan was held the next day, coincidentally amidst a rainy day. The drizzling raindrops were scattered all around. Leonard stood behind Louis, holding an umbrella to shield Louis from the rain.Louis held a white flower and gently placed it on Elder Nathan's grave. His expression was devoid of emotion, concealing his feelings from anyone's gaze.For the death of Elder Nathan, Louis didn't hold much sentiment.It was, after all, the predetermined outcome right from the beginning. Nevertheless, he didn't protect Elder Nathan due to the latter's aspirations for Louis to inherit his position.Louis prepared to leave after placing the white flower on Elder Nathan's grave. At that moment, a few people stood by the grave, tears streaming down their faces.Olivia stood off to the side, and her eyes reddened from crying, giving her a fragile appearance that seemed to call for protection.Louis glanced at her, slightly smiling and saying, "I've heard that Elder Nathan'
