"What Will said... is it true?"

That was Jessica's question as she stood facing Raymond, her heart filled with confusion and pain.

She looked at him, her gaze icy but with a hint of pleading, hoping that what Will said wasn't true.

Raymond looked back at her, unable to utter a word in defense.

He lowered his head as if unable to confront Jessica.

These days seemed to have worn him out completely, as he lived in his illusions.

That he would have Lumie and the Adel estate in the near future, that Jessica would realize his noble and deep feelings, that she couldn't move forward without him, and that she would soon beg him to return.

But in the end, it was all just his fantasies.

And Arthur had shattered those illusions effortlessly, like popping a bubble.

He looked at Jessica, said nothing, and turned to leave.

He suddenly realized his feelings for Jessica weren't as deep as he thought.

He only wanted to take everything away from Arthur, and whether Jessica got hurt didn't matter

    The three black cats had retracted their horns. Skyler and Crimson were lying directly on the windowsill, while Amber was stretched out on a small sofa. Arthur had also provided this sofa.At the moment, Arthur was sitting at his desk, his expression slightly strange. Occasionally, he glanced at the three Thlu under their cat forms. He felt his tolerance for them had been increasing since they assumed these forms. It was indeed a dangerous sign.Arthur was lost in thought when something soft suddenly brushed against his hand. Looking down, he saw Skyler blinking as if it was bestowing favor as it rubbed against his hand twice.Its fur was exceptionally soft.Arthur looked at it, feeling a bit taken aback. "Can I pet you?"Skyler nodded. "Of course, you've helped us."Suddenly, Arthur felt this matter wasn't as awkward as initially thought. At least these creatures were quite adorable and weren't causing any harm. Keeping them outside for the time being shouldn't be a problem.

    Lumie walked in and immediately noticed Raymond's bloodshot eyes fixed on her, his gaze full of longing. She softened her gaze, allowing a slight curve to appear on her lips. These days had been quite challenging for her due to Arthur's influence, and its impact on Raymond was far from negligible.Raymond seemed on the brink of transformation, just as she had hoped. Lumie suppressed a smile and approached Raymond's side, showing concern. "Raymond, are you okay?"Pausing momentarily, she continued slightly apologetically, "I'm sorry. I've been adjusting my own emotions these past few days, so I couldn't come to see you."Raymond was not particularly concerned about Lumie's somewhat tired appearance. He was eager to question why she hadn't come to see him sooner, but he realized that most of the problems they faced were of his own making. He needed to stay composed, especially if he wanted Lumie to trust him.However, before he could say anything, Lumie spoke softly, "Raymond, I be

    Facing Arthur, at this moment, Mr. Adel truly didn't know what else to say. He furrowed his brows and looked at Raymond, signaling him to apologize.Raymond was reluctant, but he could only bow his head and say, "I sincerely apologize, Arthur. I didn't think that way. I was just happy when I thought you would forgive me."Arthur narrowed his eyes as he looked at him, smiling, "I hope so."Raymond bit his lip, unsure of what else to say.Arthur sipped his tea, taking in the humiliation and anger on Raymond's face.Then, he turned his gaze towards Mr. Adel, who had awkwardly fumbled for words the whole time.Arthur smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. Regardless, this wasn't your fault. Our collaboration will continue."Mr. Adel felt relieved beyond measure. He hadn't expected Arthur to agree so quickly.However, upon hearing that Arthur had stipulated conditions, Raymond grew uneasy.It was easy because Arthur was stronger and even more so because Mr. Adel couldn't press Arthur

    Mr. Adel, hearing Arthur's words, was taken aback and felt a bit strange in his heart. He rubbed his finger between his temples and wearily said, "I don't even know what's wrong with me. But... I really can't let Lumie be sad."Arthur knew that Lumie had influenced Mr. Adel for many years and was often manipulated by her. It would be in vain if he wanted Mr. Adel to see things clearly on his own without any assistance.Of course, Arthur could help him regain clarity but now wasn't the time. He didn't want to get involved so soon. He looked at Mr. Adel and said, "Alright, you should focus on dealing with Stanley. As for this matter, I hope it won't happen again."Mr. Adel nodded hurriedly, "Of course."He squinted, already thinking of ways to separate Raymond and Lumie.After Mr. Adel left, Arthur immediately returned to his room. Crimson and Skyler rushed over as soon as they saw him, and Crimson blurted out in human language, "So, did you catch that girl?"Crimson asked eagerly.

    Arthur's words took aback Elder Ethan, his eyes widening for a moment before quickly trying to regain his composure. He forced a chuckle and said, "Everything has been thoroughly investigated, and you can't just accuse anyone indiscriminately."Arthur laughed, "Whether I can make baseless accusations or not, I don't know. Regardless, it won't be me who punishes you."The group of elders, led by Ethan, came with cunning plans and left with frustration. Before departing, Elder Ethan still attempted to maintain a smile and said, "I know there are still misunderstandings between us. I only hope you can advise Lucia to return. We will always welcome her."Suddenly, a knock on the door echoed in the room.Ethan turned around in surprise, only to see Lucia dressed neatly and elegantly, wearing a pair of golden-rimmed glasses on her nose. Her appearance seemed slightly thinner but radiated a more vital spirit and cheerfulness.She laughed while looking at Elder Ethan, saying, "Of course, I

    Arthur glanced at Will's body, no exception. He also couldn't find anything unusual from the outside. Seeing this, Lance couldn't help but look perplexed; how did Will die after all?At this moment, Arthur suddenly removed his gloves and skillfully used his index and middle fingers to touch Will's forehead. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the light in his eyes had turned extremely cold.In a low voice, he said, "Indeed, his soul has been taken."Standing beside Arthur, Lance heard this, and his expression became serious. Arthur walked up and asked, "What has happened, sir?"Arthur nodded. "It seems he made some sort of transaction with a dark force. The price he had to pay was his soul."Arthur's face became challenging to read, his eyes filled with contemplation. Who could it be? Who made a deal with Will? Who held a grudge against him?Could it be Lumie or the dark mage who killed his parents? However, at the moment, he couldn't find the answers, and all he

    The gentle and composed voice of Amber resonated: "At a glance, those children all share a common characteristic: a significant amount of light energy within them. However, it has been eroded for some reason, and now their bodies are filled with dark energy. The clash between these two abundant energy sources is overwhelming, causing them to be unable to bear the burden. That's the reason behind their current state."Amber's words hung in the air, creating a quiet atmosphere. Skyler couldn't help but exclaim: "Amber, you're quite knowledgeable."Amber responded with a disdainful snort, not engaging further with the teasing remark. Meanwhile, Crimson scrunched its face and muttered: "Who knows if what it said is true."Amber seemed entirely indifferent to Crimson's provocation.Arthur, however, couldn't help but furrow his brows and ask: "It sounds serious. How much longer can they live?"Amber replied: "Considering the current condition, they won't make it through a month."Arthur f

    A chilling gust of wind swept through, and Lance felt as if his face had been sliced by something, a freezing sensation even though nothing had touched his face. He looked at Arthur and asked, "What should we do, sir?"Arthur stood in the middle of the courtyard, holding a dried branch he had picked up from somewhere, seemingly writing or drawing something in the air.With narrowed eyes, Arthur asked, "Have you confirmed the presence of unusual energy here?"Amber nodded firmly, "If you doubt me again, I'll scratch your face!"Arthur didn't say anything more. He bowed slightly, using the branch to draw something on the ground.The small, withered branch seemed enveloped in specific energy, cutting through the earth and stone, creating a circle with ancient and intricate patterns.The three Thlus floated in the air. Crimson hesitated, "What's this, some kind of matrix?"Skyler responded, "You fool, that's indeed a matrix."Crimson retorted, "Are you calling me a fool?!"They hung sus

    Arthur rolled his eyes, looking coldly at the abyss being consumed by the flames.When he saw that the tearful pleas were in vain, in the final moments, all that remained from the abyss's mouth were curses.But Arthur paid no attention; this time, the abyss had to die and, furthermore, die in an entirely new way.The abyss's body quickly turned into dust, but Arthur's flames didn't stop.This was because there was still a dark mist writhing madly there—this was the true nature of the abyss.Finally, Arthur stood, watching the flames burning vigorously for almost thirty minutes.By now, the abyss had completely perished.Arthur wasn't faring much better; he had almost lost his life.His face was as pale as paper, and his lips lacked any trace of color.The scenery in front of him seemed to tilt continuously.Arthur took a deep breath, quickly stabilizing himself, and his serious gaze looked fo

    In the final moment, even the abyss didn't fully comprehend what had happened. As soon as the child finished speaking, a tremendous surge of energy enveloped the supervisor's entire body. By now, the supervisor's body was covered in Arthur's blood.The energy erupted, flames engulfing the supervisor's body, causing unimaginable pain. The abyss howled in agony, the sound and force of the supervisor being so intense that cracks began to appear in the ground above them as if it could collapse at any moment.Arthur, pinned by the spikes on the supervisor's body, couldn't escape. The frenzied abyss ran amok, trying to extinguish the flames, causing Arthur's body to shake along with the chaos. Arthur furrowed his brow slightly, unable to do anything more.He didn't even feel the fire burning him; no heat, no pain. This fire was undoubtedly his ally. Arthur thought to himself.Amidst the incessant screams of the abyss, the earth above them began to crumble. Arthur opened his eyes wide

    This crack itself didn't know it, but at this point, it had become a deep abyss.The abyss seemed to be doing everything possible to kill Arthur. It frantically dug through its own memories and cracks, searching for Arthur's existence in the past. It aimed to exploit this information to devise a plan to kill Arthur more easily.Unexpectedly, it succeeded in finding what it sought. In the past, when Arthur was three years old and still in the Sunny orphanage, he had a genuine encounter with the abyss.Seizing this opportunity, the abyss immediately used most of its power to manipulate time. However, its power wasn't enough to reverse time entirely. Moreover, to carry out such powerful actions, the abyss had to endure a considerable toll on its own realm.At this moment, the abyss had no memories, but it was genuinely stronger than Arthur, a mere child. It felt confident that it wouldn't lose. As soon as Arthur appeared, it believed it could easily crush him, very gently.But the

    Arthur was lifted by the neck by the manager. Even though he struggled frantically, there was no way to escape, and it only made his body more painful.The manager, with his eyes gleaming bright red, looked at Arthur and said in a deep voice, "If you want to live, shut up!"Arthur could feel that the manager was different at this moment as if something had changed deep within him.This change made him appear more frightening, more audacious.Arthur pursed his lips, not daring to say a word.The manager seemed pleased with Arthur's silence. He smirked, then threw Arthur into the pit before him.As he approached, the foul smell intensified. Witnessing the scene in front of him, Arthur couldn't hold back his nausea.Seeing Arthur's expression, the manager sneered, "You've tasted it before, disgusting, isn't it? Ha ha, would you like to have more now?"Arthur's face turned pale, frozen, and he dared not make any other movements.The manager, satisfied with Arthur's fearful appearance,

    Arthur's trembling demeanor, in the eyes of the manager, appeared to be weakened to the point of imminent death. Instantly, the manager's eyebrows furrowed, but his spoken words seemed oddly gentle. He approached, took hold of Arthur, and then looked towards Emma, smiling as he said, "Alright, I'll take care of this little one; you may go."In reality, the manager wasn't particularly patient, nor was he a gentle person. However, when dealing with potential "harvestable" products, he was always required to be careful. After all, he was the one raising these children, knowing what they needed to grow up.Hearing this, Emma happily left without any worries. Arthur could only stare as Emma walked away, mouth agape, wanting to speak but finding himself unable to.This made Arthur involuntarily furrow his brows. He also sensed the formidable aura of the man. It seemed as though he wasn't holding a child's hand but rather trying to break a branch.As soon as Emma left, the manager nar

    Creating such a large space gate naturally consumes a great deal of power, but Benjamin doesn't even frown at it. His subordinates have arrived, a group of mermen with perfect appearances. Despite their aquatic nature, they firmly plant their feet on the ground, displaying incredible flexibility in movement, and without much talk, they join the battle.However, cracks appear in different races but manifest on the human battlefield. At this point, it's not just a matter of numerical difference; humans and others are truly overwhelmed to the point of breathlessness. Other races take more time to arrive, and at this moment, they must resist until assistance arrives.Meanwhile, Arthur below isn't faring much better. Almost as soon as he senses the spatial shift, Arthur knows what the abyss intends to do. So, for the first time in this life, he uses his privilege, broadcasting a summon to all non-human species on the continent, ordering them to send half of their armies to the human

    The body in front of Arthur shattered into pieces, with fragments of flesh and skin shooting towards Arthur, but they couldn't completely reach him as his shield blocked them.Expressionless, Arthur retracted his sword, coldly saying, "Fake again, too troublesome."Indeed, it was another fake; it wasn't a real abyss. However, Arthur could sense the power that had approached his body closely in the recent encounter. Perhaps that was a significant part of the abyss, similar to a detached limb.It could be that the abyss was dying, but it quickly transferred its energy to another body to continue its existence. Arthur thought itwas not entirely wrong; the recent encounter was not a genuine abyss, but it was still a significant part of the abyss.The abyss was now hiding in a corner within the darkness, with blood-red eyes dripping with fresh blood. At this moment, the figure became increasingly frail and uncontrollable, with blood gushing out wildly.Despite this, the figure was rec

    The colossal dark arrow collided with the sphere of sharp spikes, immediately creating a tremendous explosion of energy. The ground kept trembling, sharp fragments scattered everywhere, and the shockwave from the explosion alone could be lethal to an ordinary person.In the silent space, after a while, the sound of footsteps echoed, accompanied by heavy, triumphant breathing.The giant figure of the abyss approached the debris field. At this moment, the figure had undergone a massive transformation. Anyone who saw him now would likely struggle to hold back their nausea.The figure's body remained large, but the flesh seemed to melt, sagging to the ground as the figure was dragged along.The melted flesh revealed the grotesque skeleton beneath, with a back covered in sharp spikes, long arms reaching down to the legs, and twisted, bizarrely shaped feet.Especially disturbing was the figure's face, as the skeletal structure appeared incomplete, with half of the head shattered, exposin

    At this moment, Arthur truly resembled a person of fire, flames roaring on his body, incinerating all the creatures around him.Beneath a chaotic crack, the screams reverberated, causing excruciating pain to anyone's ears. Arthur, however, seemed oblivious to it all.He swung his sword against the frenzied spikes attacking him. Yet, these spikes seemed to have received some commanding order as they recklessly lunged toward Arthur, unaffected by the hellfire that engulfed them.One after another, spikes hurled themselves at him, seemingly endless. The abyssal realm beneath was evidently dissatisfied with his fiery onslaught, desiring to pull him down as swiftly as possible.Moreover, these spikes were numerous and seemingly fearless of death. Eventually, Arthur's flames revealed a gap.Seizing the opportunity, a spike swiftly maneuvered, grabbing hold of Arthur's ankle and aggressively pulling him down. However, another spike was quickly sliced into pieces, and many others were co
