‘S-she’s so strong…!’ Gerald thought to himself. He only needed to experience her inner force once to know that her current force was already immensely different compared to the other forces he had previously come into contact with. If he had to make a comparison between his force and hers, it was like comparing dirty water in a stagnant pool to pure and distilled water. With a difference that large, there was absolutely no doubt who held more power here. Gerald watched as Jasmine’s face flushed as Queena slowly intensified the grip of her force. Jasmine was going to die any second now if Queena truly wanted to end her! “Stop!” shouted Gerald as he quickly began running toward her again. “Worry not, I won’t kill her like this… After all, I can see that you care for her a lot! Anyway, I’ll be taking her with me until I get your answer!” replied Queena as she gently touched Jasmine’s body… The moment she did so, Jasmine instantly blacked out! As Queena exited the manor, bot

“…You… don’t know what love is…? …So that’s why you go to such extremes when dealing with things! …Look, I’ll have you know that fame and wealth are only able to give people the illusion of happiness… No matter how much of them you gain, you won’t ever truly be happy without knowing what love is! After all, with an empty heart, you won’t be able to hold on to anything dear… No amount of fame or wealth can fill that gap, and you’ll just continue suffering till the day you die unless you come to understand that!” explained Jasmine. While she didn’t know who the woman in front of her was yet, that wasn’t really the crucial thing now. The important thing was that though the woman was extremely powerful, she had a fatal weakness. She appeared to have been deeply hurt by love. Queena herself couldn’t help but stare at Jasmine in amazement after hearing all that. While Queena had initially planned to kill Jasmine after inflicting immense fear into the girl—to the point of forming an utt

“I have no reason to lie to you! All that I’ve said is true! I’m truly not the person you’ve been looking for!” said Gerald, looking at her straight in the eye. Based on her reaction, he no longer had any doubts about what was going on. The person he had saved was definitely not the woman in white. As for the real woman in white, she could very possibly still be within the king of the ocean’s palace. With these new revelations, Gerald felt it would be wiser not to mention where Zeus’s whereabouts was. He would keep that a secret until he found the real woman in white. “I don’t care! I’m never going to believe you! Regardless, I’ve told you that we’re getting married tomorrow! Do you already have your answer?” asked Queena as her gaze momentarily softened as she looked at him. “Marriage isn’t a game, and it’s not like there’s any love between us in the first place… With that in mind, how could we get married?” replied Gerald with a bitter smile. “It’s definitely no game, I agr

Seconds before Hendrik was able to land his skull-crushing punch on Gerald—who was already prepared to die at this point—a shout made him stop his attack half-way. Of course, the person who had shouted was none other than Chester. “Grandma, Second Lord! Please don’t kill master! This has nothing to do with him!” said Chester as he fell to his knees. “You’re calling him master? How absolutely ridiculous! You’re the master of the Holy Witchcraft! Why on earth would you call this wealthy spoilt brat your master? If news gets out about this, then our clan’s prestigious name will surely be destroyed by you!” replied Tiara as the corner of her lips twitched. She, for one, was a person who cared a lot about prestige. To her, a man dying was nothing special if it was to maintain the Holy Witchcraft’s status! “It was my personal decision to be by master’s side! I’ve never wanted to be the young master of the Holy Witchcraft in the first place! All I’ve ever wanted was to live normal

With that said, Hendrik ordered for Gerald to be arrested. Not long after, Gerald found himself within a secret room with Hendrik. “Tell me, Gerald… Are you aware of any secret techniques to get rid of ancient witchcraft…?” asked Hendrik coldly. “Secret techniques? Now why would I know anything of the sort! After all, such techniques are only taught to those within the Holy Witchcraft, no?” replied Gerald rather casually as he turned to look at Hendrik. “You’d best stop putting on an act before me, you brat! I’ll admit that I used a secret ancient witchcraft technique on Chester’s body long ago… That particular witchcraft poisons a person’s heart, making them act in eccentric, unreasonable, and extreme ways! After a long period of time, said person would eventually die from insanity! I was lucky to have come across such an ancient technique, you know? Regardless, when I saw Chester again earlier, the witchcraft I had placed upon him seemed to have been lifted! While he was able
