Chapter 121 The Invitation
Seeing the troubled look on Luo Ning's face, Lin Wanrong said, "Miss Luo, do you think my request is unreasonable?"
Luo Ning furrowed her brows lightly, whispering, "Big brother, these conditions indeed pose a challenge."
Lin Wanrong looked serious. "Miss Luo, do y...

Luo Ning chuckled softly, "Big brother, there's no need for such formalities. Qiaoqiao is like a sister to me. Besides, I had other business today, which brought me here."
Lin Wanrong nodded approvingly. This made sense; he was not so conceited as to think th...

‘It's a shame that I couldn't capture him and discern his identity, but it won't be the last chance.’
Nahan. As Yuder whispered this name, he recalled the man who exuded such a dangerously overwhelming aura. It was rare to remember a stranger one had met only once, but that man was ...

"Ugh... What... what is this...."
At the same time Nahan's body violently collided with the wall, Kiolle managed to somewhat pull herself out of the illusion and regain consciousness. Groaning softly, she shook his head.

"Why do we have to kill this one too? Why?"
"Why are you so keen on protecting him? He's a worthless human being."
In Nahan's cold grey eyes, a ruthless gleam arose.

Nahan immediately woke the next person according to Yuder's demand. However, the others could not answer the same question at all.
The only thing Yuder could find out was the fact that the family had given more rewards than usual when they caught an Awakener with a certain condition, an...

Yuder watched them in silence.
If they truly thought death was better, they would never talk like they did. Those who took on dangerous missions, ready to face death if captured, typically carried poison within them or signed an oath that would explode and kill them instantly if they we...

"I have a rough idea of whom my brother might have sided with. The Apeto Duchy has been trying to expand its power in the east these days."
Upon hearing this, Gakane glanced slightly towards Devran. He could see Devran nodding, signifying his agreement with Zachlis's assessment.

As though no one else existed, the man who arrived breathlessly embraced Devran's sister, weeping loudly. Even Devran, who was about to shout at him, couldn't stop their momentum.

"Yes, it's me...

Devran, who should have been dead to atone for all his sins, couldn't be allowed to live. The same was true for the people of the Apeto family who had joined hands with him and orchestrated all these events. If it were revealed that Zakail had joined hands with them to seize the Lordship, he ...
