Calvin had a stern expression and an imposing presence. "Your Majesty, you hid the fact that Daniel was here. Furthermore, you hurriedly arranged for him to marry Princess Edna. Did Your Majesty show respect to the Morris family by doing all these?"I don't care what plans you have, Your Majesty. I just want Daniel back right now, so I must trouble you to send someone to bring him back immediately."If Daniel wasn't there by tomorrow, he would give Curtis the order to bring him back by force. He wasn't afraid of getting into conflict. At any given time, the Morris family could handle the consequences that come with starting a war.Calvin vanquished what little righteousness Ragnar had managed to muster. Ragnar felt humiliated and angry, but he didn't show it on his face.In the end, he had to speak politely and calmly with Calvin. "Mr. Morris, I don't know how you confirmed that my son-in-law is your brother. But if you wish to see him, I'll arrange it. There's no need for us to be
"That's the plan," Calvin replied.Holding Margot's hand, Calvin headed back to where Gabriel and Luna were with her.Margot asked, "How is Natalie doing?""She's doing well, so don't worry about her. On the contrary, she's been worried about you ever since she found out that the Koronia royal family detained you," Calvin said."With you and Curtis backing us, they wouldn't dare do anything to us," Margot responded. Then, she thought of something and excitedly said, "Guess who I ran into here."Calvin looked at Margot's delighted expression and said with a smile, "You've met Allison, haven't you?"Margot's face immediately fell. "Did Curtis tell you?""Of course. Curtis also said that if it weren't for Allison, he probably wouldn't have survived to see me."This time, Curtis did something significant for the Morris family. Calvin would remember what he'd done for a lifetime.And so, Calvin and Margot went back to meet with Gabriel and Luna. Gabriel was immensely surprised wh
There was absolutely no way for him to be with Lena. But… What should he do if he couldn't let go?Anthony felt a sharp pain in his chest again. The pain was so vivid that he could barely stand it. He fell to his knees with a thud."Branden, I know you possess great skills and are well-versed in the ways of the mind. Could you help guide me in the right direction?" Anthony pleaded.He was unsure about the kind of feelings Branden had toward Lena.These days, Branden's disciples had been taking great care of him on the mountain. This showed that Branden was a compassionate and generous person. Because of that, he felt that he shouldn't judge Branden unfairly and in a narrow-minded way."If you listen to me, of course I'm willing to help you. But it's obvious that you're agitated and impulsive, and there's no way you would follow my advice," Branden spoke slowly and calmly with his back to Anthony.Anthony shook his head. "I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you suggest, but let m
Lena was shocked and looked curiously at Branden, who was calm as ever. "Master, how did you know that Margot and the others were in danger while you were up here in the mountains? Were you able to foresee this as well?"Branden looked at Lena with a serene expression. "Their astrological houses tell all. As time goes by, the exact moments when they will face challenges are all clearly written in their fate."Lena's eyes lit up, and she quickly moved forward to sit closely next to Branden. "Can you teach me how to do that? How can I learn about someone's fate?"Branden looked at Lena, who had seated herself right next to him, and lightly flicked her on the forehead.He said, "This isn't suitable for you. Your astrological house isn't strong enough to handle this fortune-telling skill. It's more suitable for someone like Solace. You should head to SerenityHall to see Anthony. Leave the mountain first thing tomorrow morning."Lena felt a bit disappointed. "So you're saying that when
Lena knew very well that she couldn't convince herself to be with Anthony. She would have to take it one step at a time."Okay, I'll do as Branden said. Lena, wait for me," Anthony said.He hoped that Lena would wait until he no longer felt so much pain and inner conflict, just as Branden suggested, then she could leave with him. When the time came, they would get together and get married. Then, they would have children and live a life of happiness together.Lena couldn't hold back any longer and turned to meet Anthony's gaze.Seeing his bloodshot eyes and haggard face, she frowned with concern and nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll wait for you."Anthony smiled. With Lena saying that, it showed he did have a place in her heart. He needed to stop baselessly suspecting that there was something between her and Branden. What he needed to do now was to clear up the conflicts deep within his heart.Lena thought about how she would be leaving the mountain the next morning. She didn't kno
"Master, how old are you really? How do you maintain your youth? Or could it be that you're not actually my master and are instead someone who's pretending to be him?" Lena asked.The issue had been bothering her for a long time.Although Branden often deflected her questions with wise sayings, she didn't believe it.It was the 21st century and the technological era. How could simply meditating keep someone eternally youthful?It was too absurd. It was so absurdly fake that no one else would believe it.Branden couldn't avoid her and replied helplessly, "I'm definitely older than you, but as for why I look young…"The key to maintaining eternal youth is to break free from love and desire."Lena was at a loss for words.Did breaking free from one's love and desires really help that much?So if it were someone who had no worries in life and was happy every day, wouldn't they look truly younger than their peers?Plus, as long as there was proper self-care, then even a man in his
Lena saw the junior disciples crying and embraced them. "Alright, I'll come back later and bring you some delicious treats," she comforted.Her gaze fell on the young girl, Solace, and noticed that she remained calm and composed without crying or making a fuss.Lena squatted down and pulled her over, asking, "Solace, do you really want me to leave that badly? You're not even pretending to be sad."Solace blinked her doe-like eyes and said innocently, "Master said that Lena is going down the mountain to help others, which is a good thing. Why would I cry about that?"Lena felt that Solace, that little brat, seemed to have a heart of stone after forgetting everything.She was descending the mountain to help someone, but that someone was actually Solace's parents.When Lena saw the small charm pouch hanging around Solace's neck, she reached out and took it off.Solace frowned at her and asked, "Lena, why are you taking my charm pouch?"Lena lightly tapped her nose and said with a
Ragnar wanted to include their lives as collateral?This remark made Calvin become a bit more alert. He looked at Ragnar expressionlessly and asked, "Are you really that sure our presence right now can fulfill your wishes?"Ragnar laughed and said, "If not? General Morris is already dead, and the lives of three members of the Morris family are in my hands at this moment. As for the others, they're nothing but a bunch of useless people; my eldest son can deal with them easily."So, Mr. Morris, hand over the military seal. I assure you, that as long as you give me the military seal, I will guarantee your safe return home."After hearing this, both Luna and Margot felt a sense of fear and concern. They had never encountered anything like this before, and judging by Ragnar's attitude, he wouldn't stop until he achieved his goal.At that moment, they found themselves in a very unfavorable situation. Their fearful gazes fixed on Calvin and Gabriel who sat across from them.Gabriel was
