The leader was pinned to the ground, but he didn't show any panic on his face. He looked at Louis and chuckled, "Don't worry because I've prepared a big gift for you. Even if I'm close to death today, I'll still escape from here." Louis furrowed his brow, and at that moment, he felt a disturbance in his body, which was the unique energy that he was holding. Unexpectedly, before he could figure out how to handle this energy, it caused harm to him. The leader remained nonchalant and said, "Right now, if you use that special power of yours, you'll surely be in excruciating pain, to the point where you won't want to live anymore. I swear." Louis shrugged, seemingly unbothered by the leader's threats. The leader continued, "Perhaps you've already understood the basic principle of how my energy works, haven't you? If you release them to minimize the damage, they will seek new hosts, creating a new terrorist army and chaos..." Louis squinted, realizing that if he kept these energies

Despite Ace's panic and anger outside, Louis appeared in the dark space. Looking at his soul, which still appeared like an adult, he couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, if his soul had also shrunk, he probably wouldn't remember anything from adulthood.He took a deep breath and said, "I want to summon you, Matthew." There was even a hint of gritted teeth in his voice, something that had never been present in Louis before.The space quickly transformed, a cluster of stars appearing in this dark space as always, and then Matthew emerged from within that cluster of stars. He looked at Louis, seemingly unfazed, and only smiled as he said, "It seems like your intense battle has ended, hasn't it?"Louis's expression was a bit hard to read, but he quickly regained his composure, maintaining a cold and rational demeanor. He looked at Matthew and said, "Come with me."The space rapidly changed, and they appeared outside in their soul forms in no time. Louis looked at his sleeping body on the

Mrs. Adel leads the way onto the stage. Louis notices that the attire of Adel's family is remarkably uniform, mostly in shades of white. It seems that clothing is a status hierarchy, with higher-ranking individuals adorned in more elaborate and intricately embroidered white garments. These patterns, embroidered with gold or silver thread, shimmer under the dazzling lights like a myriad of stars, exuding exquisite beauty.Behind Mrs. Adel are two young women. Though their dresses are elegantly designed, they lack the intricate embroidery seen on the higher-ranking individuals. Their status is not as prominent, perhaps assigned different roles on the stage.Mrs. Adel approaches the microphone. Each step she takes is graceful and beautiful. Sitting beside Louis, Ace gazes at Mrs. Adel and remarks softly, "If her inner demeanor matches her outward appearance, that would be quite impressive."Louis glances at Ace discreetly but remains silent for the moment. Mrs. Adel's voice resonate

As soon as Louis finished speaking, Ace's expression became less friendly. Louis, in turn, was taken aback, unsure of what he was imagining, and Ace's face became even more challenging to read.He looked at Louis and spoke lowly, "Is this the only way you can think?"Ace's voice cut through the discussion between Louis and Emma. Louis looked at Ace and asked, "So, in which direction do you think I should think?"Ace remained silent, not uttering a word.Louis looked at his stern face, temporarily suppressing the smile on his lips, astonished, and said, "You come from the Adel family, and you're not their son-in-law?"Ace nodded slowly.Louis looked at Ace, feeling that his current mood couldn't be described with astonishment anymore; it was more like shock, a wordless shock!He looked at Ace as if wanting to confirm again, "A son born into the Adel family."Ace nodded slowly, "The first case in history."Ace felt fortunate that Louis didn't even consider anything about his gender, as

Ace quickly ran after Louis: "What on earth are you planning to do?"Louis swiftly replied, "This tunnel is reserved for members of the Adel clan. If someone from the clan leads us in, it should be fine."Ace raised an eyebrow, "And you're counting on Elena's help? You think she'll assist you?"Louis smirked, "She'll recognize me."Ace couldn't fathom where Louis got such confidence, but he had no choice but to follow Louis's lead.At that moment, Louis suddenly stopped, turning to look at Ace with eyes that seemed to shine.Ace felt a shiver down his spine, looking at Louis suspiciously, "Why are you looking at me like that?"Louis chuckled, "Have you forgotten? You're also part of the Adel family."Louis paused, and Ace widened his eyes in apparent shock. Louis continued, "..."Ace seems to have forgotten. Understandably, he hasn't lived as an Adel for nearly twenty years.Louis looked at Ace, saying, "Focus your strength now and show that you're an Adel."Ace was uncertain about ho
