Semua Bab The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call: Bab 1011 - Bab 1020

The once-arrogant Marlock lay sprawled on the ground, trampled underfoot by one soldier after another.Amid the chaos, a ragged figure crawled toward him, eyes locked on the emerald pendant hanging around Marlock's neck. He had clearly been observing from afar, waiting for his moment.After ensuring Marlock was lifeless, the man snatched the pendant and prepared to make his escape.But the "lifeless" Marlock suddenly opened his eyes in the very next second. Blood trickled from his eyes; his lips curled into a chilling smile. His hand shot up, gripping the thief's arm like a vice. The man froze as dark mist seeped into him, his eyes glazing over, life draining away.Only then did Marlock collapse backward, motionless once more.The thief, now holding the pendant, staggered to his feet, his expression twisted with malice—and a flicker of disgust. Yet, as he stumbled away, something felt wrong.An itch began to spread across his skin. His heart pounded erratically.…Meanwhile, an

As the chief of staff, Lionel was shouldering immense pressure. Anyone who laid eyes on him would praise him for being a strategic mastermind. Lionel only had 30-odd soldiers in his company. However, he was able to hold out this place for this long. Not only did he buy time for the main force, but he also razed some of the enemy's rally points. The enemy force didn't dare to launch a large-scale assault. Instead, they relied on the fighter jets to carpet bomb the place. The reason for that was because the enemy force thought Lionel must've brought with him a huge army. After all, he attacked them in such a grandeur fashion. Naturally, he must've come fully prepared for him to do something this bold.It was all thanks to Lionel's deliberate actions. He might've been vastly outnumbered, but he carried the intimidating pride of his great nation. Lionel would never waiver when he faced the enemy. He even went to the mountains and shouted at the top of his lungs. That was when it g

The college students stood there, unsure of how they should have responded. Astrid wanted to say something, but her body immediately stiffened when Aria glanced at her. Lionel wore a smile on his face. He even came up with an explanation for them. "You must've worn a Krowonian traditional outfit to save yourself. I understand it. After all, we often wear disguises when we are doing reconnaissance. "It was just that we didn't speak Krowonian. So, we were constantly worried that we would be found out. You guys are better than us. You knew how to speak Krowonian, after all."This is great." Lionel was smiling a second ago, but his eyes suddenly reddened. He looked at Aria. "I can't believe my beloved country is doing this well in the future. Is this really happening?"Aria responded solemnly, "We are doing wonderful, and we owe it to all of you.""Looks like it's worth losing an ear, then!" Lionel threw his head back and laughed, his voice reverberating throughout the surrounding a

Aria got up, intent on preparing the horse. That fake message might have had unintended consequences, and Barron must have felt guilty about it to this day. Aria had to find out what happened."We've caught up with them!" someone called out."Mr. Disher, we've caught up with them!"Lionel was surprised. "That fast?""The enemy had bombed the road ahead, damaging a section of it. They were about to make a detour and were nearby. They didn't get too far." While speaking, the elites responsible for the reconnaissance ran back with bags on their backs. They were quick. Though there were only five of them, the elite reconnaissance troop was fast, stealthy, and skilled in combat. In most cases, they were the best candidates in the unit. Without them, fighting would be like shooting in the dark—no advantage at all.When Aria looked at them, she could see that they were marked for death. She finally understood that the fake message wasn't just to mislead Lionel.Although Lionel had

The other spirits were disappearing as well. They stood ramrod straight, disheveled uniforms hanging off their backs, as sharp and unrelenting as knives and axes slicing through all the injustice in this world.Their eyes showed no indignant reluctance, only longing for the future. Aria felt emotions coming over her as she watched them. Lionel knew that Aria was feeling reluctant to part with them. Aria was great, but she was also easily troubled. She was also one of their own now, so Lionel said some reassuring words to her before his departure. "I'm not as gullible as you think, my child."He touched the top of his head as he looked at her, and he laughed heartily before continuing, "You're all from the future, which proves that we're all dead at this point.""One's soul is sure to disappear when he passes. If some linger in this world, they aren't doing so by any legitimate means." Lionel was accepting of his fate as always. "I would dream of a time when my company owned a
