Upon hearing Veron's story, Chester and Darryl exchanged glances with an unreadable expression.They furrowed their brows. There was no way that the story was as simple as it sounded.It was important to know that Jacob and Circe had feelings for each other, and they had already established that they wanted to be with each other. Thus, Veron's story did not really add up.It did not make sense.What frustrated Darryl even more was Tuji.The Elysium Gate had a good relationship with the Lange family, and they had met a good number of times. Thus, Darryl knew Tuji well enough to know that he was a strict, disciplined person.However, Zenyl's death was a mystery shrouded in questions, and Tuji had not been able to suss any of it out.Just then, Darryl fell deep into thought as he exchanged a glance with Chester.The next second, Darryl looked calmly at Veron. "Little miss, according to your story, I don't think Jacob is the killer."Darryl had wandered the earth for many years, a
Ambrose was nothing but annoyed as he spoke.Veron truly had no manners at all, first framing him and Heather, then throwing tantrums in front of his father and Uncle Chester…Veron was in a terrible mood. She roared out loud as she pushed Ambrose backward."F*ck off!"Ambrose had long prepared for that, and had been secretly channeling his internal energy into his legs to remain standing firm as a rock.Veron caught her balance as her face was filled with humiliated rage and she glowered at Ambrose."Ambrose Darby! What's the meaning of this? Trying to abuse your power because you're on your own grounds, are you? Or has the Elysium Gate really struck up an allyship with the Wudang Sect to take the Lange family down, and now you're holding me captive?"Amidst her rage, Veron spewed out everything she thought of, not holding anything back.Ambrose could hardly contain his anger watching her run her mouth and roared, "Shut up! The Elysium Gate has never struck up anything with th
Just as the words rang through the air, Dax clapped a hand onto Ambrose's shoulder and yanked him towards himself as he said loudly, "No, no! Ambrose, listen. Uncle Dax's on your side. That blow was completely justified."As he spoke, Dax said to Darryl, "This little girl was acting out of line! Why are you blaming Ambrose instead?"Darryl hung his head helplessly at Dax's words. "Dax, she's the high lady of the Lange household. That wasn't appropriate for Ambrose to do such a thing."As he spoke, Debra got to her feet slowly as she said, "She's alright. She just fell unconscious. She'll be alright after she gets some rest."Whew!Darryl heaved a sigh of relief at the words. Thank goodness Ambrose's blow had not been fatal, or he would surely have a difficult time explaining himself to the Lange household.At the thought, Darryl looked at Chester. "What do you think we should do next, Brother Chester?"Chester pondered briefly before speaking"There truly seems to be something
As she spoke, Heather passed Ambrose a cup of tea.Ambrose took it from her, taking a deep breath. "Veron treated you awfully, and almost got the both of us killed, Heather. Are you really still trying to speak up for her?"Heather let out a soft sigh in response. "I know you're still angry over what she did, but nobody's perfect, right? Who doesn't make mistakes? Besides, she only did all of that because she liked you so much."Heather sat next to Ambrose, putting her hands below her chin to gaze out of the window. "My parents taught me from a young age to try to see the best in people, and have a generous heart. That's the easiest way for someone to be happy."Ambrose fell into thought at the words briefly, flashing a pained smile. "You're far too kind for your own good, Heather. Alright, I'll let the past go.""Wonderful!"Seeing as he was finally calming down, Heather was nothing but joyous as she beamed, "That's my Brother Ambrose."As she spoke, Heather tugged at Ambrose's
Just then, outside the door.Seeing as no one was answering, Heather bit her lip hesitantly.It seemed that Veron had not waken up yet.At the thought, Heather turned to leave. She wanted to come back the next day, before deciding that she would leave the medicine behind since she was already here.Upon making her mind up, Heather pushed the door open slowly.Creak!Antigonus' brows furrowed from where he had been hiding behind the door, racking his brain for a plan on what to do.Heather just had to come at a time like this, didn't she?Fine, then. He would send her right to hell, along with Veron.Heather did not realize that danger was incoming, her gaze immediately falling onto Veron as she entered and called out softly. "Sister Veron?"Due to the room's lights not being turned on, Heather could not tell if Veron was still unconscious or not and went closer to check.Yet just then, Antigonus' gaze flashed from where he stood behind the door. He did not hesitate at all, r
"How dare you still defend yourself!"Ambrose's gaze was bloodshot as he roared the words, "There were only the two of you in the room, who else could it have been? I'm going to have your head for hurting my Heather."Ambrose had lost all sense of logic then, raising a hand to cast a blow in Veron's direction.Buzz!The blow was one channeled out of pure rage and hatred, hurtling through the air and constricting the atmosphere of the room.Veron was still in bed and could not dodge the blow at all as she screamed, "Ambrose Darby, you madman…"Amidst her fury, Veron was also unspeakably panicked.How had Heather gotten injured in her room? Veron had no way of defending herself; was she going to die right here?At the same time, Darryl and Chester's expressions shifted as well.Following that, Darryl swooped in front of Ambrose. He lifted a hand, vanishing Ambrose's move completely."Ambrose. Calm yourself," Darryl took a deep breath, speaking in a consoling manner.Ambrose st
The next second, Chester stepped forward to explain in a pained voice, "Come on, kiddo, you saw what happened. The killer's clearly trying to cause conflict between the Elysium Gate and you Langes. They've already made a move on Heather. You could be next for all you know.""That's why it's safest for you to remain here. Got it?'Veron finally understood their intentions at the words, and no longer retaliated against staying despite the haughty expression on her face.Seeing as she was not saying anything more, Darryl exhaled lightly. He sent out a few orders, before heading to the Divine Dragon Clan at top speed with Ambrose and Heather in tow.……Over on another end, in the Wudang Sect.Master Jade and the Wudang Sect elders sat in the main hall with dark expressions.Despite Graham having managed to escape back successfully, Jacob had died a tragic death at the Lange household. This had been a huge blow to the Wudang Sect.And just half an hour ago, they received news that t
How strange. Why did this aura he was radiating seem so familiar…Master Jade frowned at Prince Auten's words, anger flaring up hot in his chest.The Langes were truly outrageous, sending over a pupil to provoke them.Just then, Prince Auten looked at Antigonus as he called out loudly, "You've got some nerve showing up here, Beka!"As he spoke, Prince Auten turned to say to Master Jade, "Sect Master, it was him who really killed Zenyi. He said it himself at the Falling Zen Temple.""He killed my father, too."As the words rang through the air, the Wudang Sect pupils glowered at Antigonus in unison, their gazes radiating murderously.At the same time, Master Jade could hardly believe his anger as he stared at Antigonus and spat coldly, "How dare you kill my Junior Brother Jacob and still show up here! Take him down at once.""Yes, Master!"As the final word rang through the air, the Wudang Sect pupils behind him soared into the air to surround Antigonus.They cried out loud, t
