Veronica was too afraid of the worst that could happen, so when Stephen drove his car towards the dimensional portal, he quickly closed his eyes while holding his hands tightly, not daring to look into the windshield.All he could feel was that the car the three of them were in was moving very fast.“Karen? We have arrived."A bit timid, Veronica opened her eyes when she heard a knock on the door coming from outside the window and was stunned to the point where she couldn't speak anymore. His eyes blinked in amazement, finding that they were no longer at Nora's house, but in a small and modest mansion, with beautiful views thanks to the gardens surrounding the mansion. He found Karl and Stephen already at the outside door, waiting anxiously for him.He unbuckled his seat belt, then stepped his prosthetic leg out of the car as soon as Stephen took the initiative to open the door for him."This…," Veronica looked around where she was at this time still with a feeling of amazement mixed
Erna frowned in confusion when she found that one of the children, who was taking care of Nora's residence, suddenly came up to her, asking her to follow them. She could not say no; solely out of decency and also out of fear of the figure.Since childhood, just like any other Asian parent who follows Confucius's teachings in general, she has been taught to respect people older than her. So clearly, she could not possibly say no.If it was about ghosts or other spirits, she would not make a big deal out of it. Since she was little, she had often encountered such things, so she was not afraid at all. But supernatural beings, let alone immortals? That was clearly another matter.Luckily, Bianca volunteered to come with her, and the kid allowed Bianca to accompany her. Even her girlfriend tightly gripped her hand, as if understanding her fear. Although she had little doubt that Bianca was the overly sensitive type, considering how reckless and careless she was in everything she did.What
Erna's eyes blinked in surprise, turning towards the source of the sound that sounded foreign to her ears when the person called her great-grandmother's name. He found the figure of a pale-faced man with a glazed and thin-looking gaze, looking at him with half disbelief and shock.“Felicia?”“Felicia? Sorry, but you have the wrong person. I'm not Felicia Chen. She's my great-grandmother," Erna answered loudly.The stranger's face suddenly darkened when he heard Erna's answer. “Oh, pardon my impudence. I thought you were Felicia, my late wife…”"Wife?" Erna's forehead wrinkled in surprise at the man's answer, walking quickly over to the foreign man. "I didn't know my great-grandmother was married.""It's normal if you don't know. We married secretly because we couldn't get the blessing from our big family," the foreign man smiled bitterly at her, holding out his hand towards Erna. "Montessa. Warlocks.""Erna Chen. Guess I will introduce myself as a human," Erna replied to Montessa's fr
Go back in time without changing the timeline?Is that even possible?Erna's brain was filled with the same questions over and over again.Of all the theories about going back to the past or coming to the future…From Albert Einstein's theory to the fictional film Back to the Future, or the like, everyone always says that traveling back to the past or to the future will destroy the timeline. Nothing can be changed or controlled.But why could the warlock in front of him be so confident in saying that he could control time without destroying the timeline?“This may sound complicated, but the way magic works is beyond the bounds of human logic. Even with science," Montessa laughed at Erna's confusion in digesting this strange information. "Hard to explain. Hasn't Nora told you that I'm a time traveler warlock?”"He didn't say anything at all," Erna formed an 'X' with both hands in front of her face as her answer. “I don't even know… eh? Time traveler warlock?”“Exactly,” Montessa snappe
Veronica really did not have any ideas of what to do in this place right now. Currently, she was in the living room inside Alec Berthold's new residence. She sat in the middle of Karl and Stephen, with Alec, who sat opposite the three of them. Compared to the last time she had met Alec, the man looked a lot calmer, though she could still see the traces of exhaustion on his face. On the coffee table, she saw the existence of several wooden boxes with strange symbols carved on the surfaces of the boxes. "I thought you guys would be late," Alec said with half-closed eyes, yawning widely. "What would you like to drink? Tea? Coffee?" “Hot tea with milk for me,” Karl said without hesitation. "Karen?" “I… is that okay to ask you that?” She asked instead, directing his gaze towards Alec with a look full of pity. "I don't like bothering you." "Don't worry about that. Making drinks for the guests is something I can do,” Alec smiled a little at Veronica, then turned to Stephen. "And how abo
Alec motioned for Veronica to try out her new weapon. Or at least, swing it. Alec's spear was light, almost as light as the wooden staff he used to practice with Isabelle at Stephen's house.He tried swinging it, spinning the spear, and he couldn't stop smiling happily. Among all the gifts Karl had ever given, he felt that this spear was the best gift he had ever received.He pressed the button in the middle, and the spear turned into the size of a pocket umbrella. He tried to press the button in the center while swinging it, and the size reverted to that of a normal spear.“That spear doesn't just serve as a spear. I added Karl's magic elements in it as an additional weapon.”“Eh?”Neither Veronica nor Karl understood what Alec meant."No offence, Vero. But as far as I'm concerned, you're only human. Meanwhile, the opponent we will face is a supernatural creature that combines science with magic. You won't be able to beat him armed with just that spear alone. Nicholas, can I ask your
Karl shook his head in resignation as soon as he saw Stephen's reaction. Stephen's expression looked like an idiot when Alec asked Stephen made him sure that the man had not been listening to Alec's words."Hmm?" Stephen put his glass on the coffee table and looked at Alec with questioning eyes.“He means, he asked you to open the box, little moron,” Karl finally represented Alec, pushing Stephen's unopened box towards Stephen. "Open it."Stephen was a bit hesitant to accept it. "I am not sure …"“Do you intend to rely on your werewolf side against Schneider?” Karl spoke again. “Last time you did it, did you win against him?”It seems that the question succeeded in tickling Stephen's feelings. Doubt disappeared on Stephen's face, but the man was still a bit reluctant to open it immediately. As if something was propping up the man's mind.Karl was silent for a moment, observing Stephen with great concentration. He always used his ability to guess Stephen's thoughts. Using his observati
Karl responded to Stephen's words with a low laugh. "Actually, there's something I don't understand." "Yes?" “Why did you make me a magic weapon? Moreover, from my knowledge, ordering magic weapons from the Berthold family is very expensive…” “In my opinion, the lives of living things are more expensive and valuable than the Berthold family's magic weapons,” Karl shoved his hands into his trouser pockets. “For me, you and Karen are the most important people in my life. I already consider you like my own family, and I know you love Karen too.” "I …" "Don't deny it, Steve. How long do you think I know you?" Karl looked up at the ceiling of the room. “Our current situation is so chaotic. War. The problem of racism in the Dragon clan. A showdown between vampire families. Somehow it feels like there are so many problems coming our way that I can't spare my spare time to go on a date with Karen. It sucks…” "I feel guilty too," Stephen said. “Last time I asked Nikki out, my brother cam
