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
Elena and Helen walked out, and at the same time, Ace received a notification. He looked towards Louis and said, "The servant reported that Mrs. Adel, the owner of the clan Adel, is here to see you. She mentioned that there's an important matter to discuss."Finally, they arrived, and Louis spoke in a low tone, "Please invite them in." Ace quickly carried out the order, and Louis had also walked to the guest room by this time.As soon as he sat down, Mrs. Adel arrived. Since this place was the castle of the Adonis family, it was not usual for discussions to take place here, especially matters involving different clans. Mrs. Adel's presence here was exceptional, except for her. The accompanying elders were kept outside the door.Mrs. Adel looked at Louis. Despite receiving the king's instructions and awakening, she still felt uneasy about yesterday's events. Mrs. Adel looked at Louis and asked, "Is Mast okay?"Louis smiled and looked at her. "He has confessed and accepted the puni
Louis looked at Hermes, not beating around the bush, and asked directly, "Do you know about my mother's death?"Upon hearing Louis ask such a question, Hermes displayed clear surprise on his face. "Why do you suddenly ask about this?" he inquired.Louis raised an eyebrow, "Is there a problem with that?"Shaking his head, Hermes replied, "No, I just thought Adonis might have told you earlier. If it were up to me, perhaps everything wouldn't be so secretive."Louis, hearing Hermes speak, couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly. TToday, he had heard similar words from Adel and now Hermes. They were convinced that his father had discussed this matter with him, but he hadn't even allowed Louis to investigate.What was this contradiction?Seeing that Louis genuinely didn't know about this matter, Hermes sighed. He explained, "Except for Adonis and a few of his closest confidants, no one else knows about your mother's death."Hermes' gaze seemed to drift into the distance as he continue
Ace had just entered Louis's office when he heard the continuous sound of vomiting from him. Ace couldn't help but furrow his brows a bit, suspecting something wrong, and tapped the bathroom door, "What's going on, Louis?!"Louis took a deep breath, seizing the opportunity to say, "I'm fine."Ace frowned; if he was okay, why was he suddenly vomiting? Considering recent events, Ace even felt Louis might have health issues.Louis quickly composed himself and stepped out. Except for a slightly pale face, he didn't look visibly unwell. He looked at Ace and said, "Continue working, I need to go somewhere."Hearing Louis say that, Ace couldn't help but furrow his brows. He stood before Louis, raising an eyebrow, "You've been acting strangely today. What exactly did you find out? You should know that you can't handle things alone."Louis furrowed his brows slightly, pushed Ace aside, and said, "Don't rely on your height to play tricks; it's only a 10cm difference."Ace chuckled mockingly
