As soon as Louis finished speaking, Ace's expression became less friendly. Louis, in turn, was taken aback, unsure of what he was imagining, and Ace's face became even more challenging to read.He looked at Louis and spoke lowly, "Is this the only way you can think?"Ace's voice cut through the discussion between Louis and Emma. Louis looked at Ace and asked, "So, in which direction do you think I should think?"Ace remained silent, not uttering a word.Louis looked at his stern face, temporarily suppressing the smile on his lips, astonished, and said, "You come from the Adel family, and you're not their son-in-law?"Ace nodded slowly.Louis looked at Ace, feeling that his current mood couldn't be described with astonishment anymore; it was more like shock, a wordless shock!He looked at Ace as if wanting to confirm again, "A son born into the Adel family."Ace nodded slowly, "The first case in history."Ace felt fortunate that Louis didn't even consider anything about his gender, as
"What are you thinking?" Ace's voice echoed, causing Louis to startle slightly.He looked at Ace, who warned him, "Getting lost in thought during a mission is not a good thing."Louis exhaled, saying, "I'm always vigilant around here."He was just pondering. The woman had sent the wrong person to find Elena, indicating she hadn't returned to the castle for a while. But it was too late now.Perhaps Elena was lost somewhere, or she had realized something."I'm just worried about Elena; maybe Lady Adel has figured something out," Louis said in a low voice.Ace, indifferent, commented, "She'll be dealt with soon, then."Seeing Louis frown, Ace quickly added, "Not to that extent. Elena's status as the heir was only announced today. Even if Lady Adel is crazy or ruthless, she won't handle Elena immediately."Louis, hearing this, didn't bring up the matter again.He looked at Ace and asked, "Alright, what's our next plan?"Ace replied slowly, "We'll go deep into the castle and then stop at
Ace quickly ran after Louis: "What on earth are you planning to do?"Louis swiftly replied, "This tunnel is reserved for members of the Adel clan. If someone from the clan leads us in, it should be fine."Ace raised an eyebrow, "And you're counting on Elena's help? You think she'll assist you?"Louis smirked, "She'll recognize me."Ace couldn't fathom where Louis got such confidence, but he had no choice but to follow Louis's lead.At that moment, Louis suddenly stopped, turning to look at Ace with eyes that seemed to shine.Ace felt a shiver down his spine, looking at Louis suspiciously, "Why are you looking at me like that?"Louis chuckled, "Have you forgotten? You're also part of the Adel family."Louis paused, and Ace widened his eyes in apparent shock. Louis continued, "..."Ace seems to have forgotten. Understandably, he hasn't lived as an Adel for nearly twenty years.Louis looked at Ace, saying, "Focus your strength now and show that you're an Adel."Ace was uncertain about ho
Everything happened too suddenly; Louis hadn't had a chance to react when Elena was pushed into the water by Mrs. Adel. Unexpectedly, she could be so ruthless. Louis only managed to look at Ace and instruct, "Protect Elena, no matter what, don't reveal yourself."Ace grinned, but Louis didn't give him a chance to object or resist. Louis frowned, speaking in a low voice, "This is an order." Ace could only remain silent, following Louis's instructions. He knew Louis was thinking about him. Previously, Mrs. Elena allowed him to survive because he was young and wouldn't cause much trouble. However, it would be a different story if he had grown up and attempted to infiltrate the Adel house. They couldn't be sure if Mrs. Adel's abilities would affect him.Meanwhile, Elena was struggling wildly, seizing the opportunity to kick Mrs. Adel in the leg, causing her pain. Mrs. Adel roared in agony, loosening her grip. Taking advantage of the situation, Elena ran. She was panting heavily,
At this moment, Mrs. Adel's face had become highly unpleasant. She looked towards Louis, who was entangled in those vines and unable to break free. Her face was filled with rage, undeniable; she seemed ready to tear into Louis immediately!"You seem quite confident in your strength, huh? How does it feel to taste defeat?" Mast gritted his teeth, saying nothing.Mrs. Adel chuckled and continued, "No answer? Truly hard to teach, so I'll make you more manageable."Before Louis could grasp Mrs. Adel's intentions, the vines threw him into the water. The water's serene surface belied the indescribable pain as if it permeated his skin and relentlessly gnawed at him.At this moment, Mrs. Adel's voice echoed, "Because you don't belong to the Adel clan, you'll experience a bit of pain." However, the pain she spoke of wasn't just a bit.Louis furrowed his brows, his mind gradually becoming blurred.Suddenly, he squinted slightly as a bright light emanated from beneath the water, capturing hi
The ground trembled incessantly as if the Adel family castle were about to collapse immediately. The Adel family members seemed to receive some kind of command simultaneously. They quickly ran towards the castle's center while Ace and Elena escaped the crowd and fled outside. Thanks to Louis's dimensional barrier on them, as long as they didn't make too much noise or do anything noteworthy, no one would notice them.Ace furrowed his brow, looking towards the center of the castle.He slightly pursed his lips and spoke to Elena, "Leave the Adel territory, then head left until you see a vehicle. You can still remember the Adonis family's mission vehicle symbol."Elena nodded quickly, then hesitantly asked Ace, "What about you?"Ace promptly replied, "I have to go back."Elena frowned, a hint of concern in her eyes. "But you said it's an order..."Ace paid no attention and said, "I'll bend the rules."Pausing momentarily, he looked at Elena cautiously, "He came here today to save you. R
Louis wrapped Ace's cloak around himself to conceal his lower body, simultaneously tearing a fabric from the cloak to cover his face. He couldn't afford to reveal his identity; it was closely tied to the honor of the Adonis family.Thinking about this, Louis couldn't help but feel a miraculous, speechless, and indescribable mood. At this moment, below, Adil cast a disdainful gaze at his descendants. Then his eyes shifted to Lady Adel, who was almost collapsed on the ground, lying there with blurry eyes. The blood from her body could have formed a pool around her, staining her pristine white dress in a bizarre and eerie manner.Seemingly aware of Adil's gaze, Lady Adel's face became defiant, but her eyes were a mix of fear and panic. At this point, she seemed to be suffering from a split personality.Adil looked at her, then glanced at a few other elders. He squinted slightly, suddenly saying, "It seems that over time, you've weakened to the point of being controlled by a weaker r
On the morning of the next day, Elena woke up early. The previous day, she had been led to the Adonis family castle and prepared for a private room. She realized that the identity of the masked person with the bird mask was not simple; he was not an ordinary subordinate. Moreover, she sensed a familiar feeling in that boy, but she couldn't be sure.At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, "Miss Elena, the master requests your presence." Elena glanced at the clock, surprised that it was already 8 in the morning. She had only been lost in thought for a moment.Elena responded with a gesture of understanding and quickly went out. On the other side, Louis was sitting at the desk in Louis's office, swiftly reviewing documents. Last night, he had tested everything.He realized that after restoring with the energy of the spirit king, all his abilities were functioning normally. Furthermore, there was still the energy that the spirit king had given him. Up to now, he coul
