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'
Management next to Louis saw the scene before them, and their eyes widened in astonishment. They couldn't believe they would witness such an absurd sight one day. Catching a fish-like person was already surreal enough, but this fish person could transform into a human! How could so many strange things happen at once in the world?!But what was even more frightening seemed to be that their owner seemed familiar with this fish person!The manager lowered their head, uncertain of what to say.Meanwhile, Silver walked over to Louis' side and softly said, "We can't talk freely here."Louis nodded and then looked towards the manager, who was still bowing their head, suddenly asking, "Did you see anything?"The manager was taken aback, not understanding why Louis would ask such a question out of the blue.However, considering their position and how they had climbed to their current status, they couldn't be foolish. They quickly responded, "No, I didn't see anything!"After a brief pause,
Louis was acutely aware of the seriousness of the situation. If those insects were truly capable of hatching successfully, it would cause a significant upheaval in the world. Such an event was hazardous. Louis knew that the ancient species were generally benevolent. If the Trung species were to disrupt this goodwill, it would be challenging to ensure future peace between humans and the ancient species.Silver shared the same concerns. He looked at Louis and responded, "Based on Meister's memories, their nest is in Mount Bain. Moreover, the larvae are already quite large and bound to hatch soon. If we estimate the time, it's probably about a week."Louis hadn't expected the situation to escalate so quickly. He glanced at Ace, who was standing nearby, and said, "Gather our forces. We must discuss the plan to address this issue as soon as possible."Ace also understood the gravity of the situation. He didn't cause any more trouble or speak thoughtlessly; he simply went outside.No
Olivia emerged from the fitting room wearing a soft white dress, complementing her appearance, making her look like a beautiful and pure angel. Michael was almost entranced, as if Olivia was standing in front of him, waiting for his evaluation of her new dress. Olivia was submerged in the loving gaze of Michael. She felt her heart beating rapidly, her breathing slightly irregular, as if she were drowning in Michael's eyes. An employee on the side saw them in this state and quickly moved away to another area. Michael looked at Olivia before him as if he could see her in all her purity and innocence. He knew how terrible he was, using a monstrous creature to see his loved one. It was genuinely repulsive, and Olivia would probably despise him if she were still alive... This thought seemed to wake Michael up, and he sighed, not continuing to gaze at Olivia. Olivia was also freed from Michael's gaze. She blinked, feeling a strange sensation in her heart. How could it beat so fas
Louis raised an eyebrow to signal Ace to stay silent. His head throbbed slightly at this moment, and Ace's words only worsened the pain. His heart still felt a slight shiver from the recent dream scene. He looked at Ace and asked, "How long was I unconscious?" Ace replied, "About a minute." Louis pondered, just a minute? Finally, Louis leaned back in the chair, waved his hand, and said, "It's nothing, just a minor incident. I'm sure I won't faint on the battlefield." Louis wasn't lying or pretending to be strong. After that dream, his mind was much clearer, except for a slight shiver when he woke up. There was no other issue. However, that dream made him reflect. Half a day of exhaustion just to faint and have such a dream? Seeing Louis respond this way, Ace didn't say anything else and sat on the side. At this time, Michael, behind them, asked in a subdued tone, "Are you okay, Sir?" After a pause, he added, "I didn't do anything..." Louis looked at Michael's somewhat co
