Did this family know about Aurora’s child? Is that the reason Anneli killed them?“No need. Just ignore it. Lyonel, please stand guard at the door. Watch every movement carefully. I’ll go inside to check on them.”Richard kept his suspicions to himself and quickly entered the house. In the living room, eleven people were lying on the floor. Their faces looked pale.Mr. and Mrs. Ridwan’s mouths had started to foam. Their eyes were turning white—it was a horrific sight.Richard stood frozen for a moment. Then he crouched down and checked their pulses.“This... is a mental-damaging drug? Did Anneli poison this family because they knew about Aurora’s child?”“She was afraid their deaths would attract attention. So she poisoned them with a mental-damaging drug? If that’s really the case...”Perhaps this was what Richard had expected. He had prepared for the worst.Maybe Anneli had already thrown Aurora’s child into the wilderness. Maybe the child had been devoured by wild animals.Richard

If the person sitting across from him were just an ordinary man and not the head of the D’Velaris family, they would have certainly been baffled by Baldren’s expression.The man always wore a smile and acted friendly. Anyone unfamiliar with him would assume he was approachable and easy to talk to.The head of the D’Velaris family sat upright, his firm and serious face adorned with a faint smile. “Mr. Baldren, the reason I came today is because there’s something I need to talk to you about. I want to ask, are you aware that the mercenary troops have been relocated to Grimhaven City?” Mr. Adi asked without any small talk.Baldren raised an eyebrow without replying. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. Instantly, he guessed the purpose of the D’Velaris family head’s visit.He immediately said, “I know. Is that the only reason Mr. Adi came here?”“It’s really unfortunate if that’s your only reason. I’ve already handed over the authority token for the mercenary troops to my niece, Aurora.”“

“Besides, you’re going to marry Sis Aurora tomorrow. Starting tomorrow, you’ll be my brother-in-law,” said Anneli in a sorrowful tone.“I’m really so jealous of her. How wonderful it would be if I were the one marrying you. That way, I could always serve you, Brother Albin, all the time.”Anneli extended her slender, delicate finger and scratched Albin’s chest in a seductive motion. Her voice sounded sad and weak.Albin lowered his head. A wicked smile instantly spread across his lips—a wild and sinister grin that made Anneli’s heart flutter with delight.His voice became even more alluring as he said, “Even if I’m married, I’ll still be yours. Darling, what kind of gift do you want from me? I’ll satisfy you today.”At the same time Albin said this, he had already picked up Anneli’s slim body and was hurrying toward the bed with her in his arms.But just at that very moment...Bang!The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open. A well-groomed woman stood at the doorway, appearing as thou

The moment he read the name displayed on the screen, the entire body of the green-belt fighter tensed up.Mr. Baldren? Why did his master suddenly contact him?Before the green-belt fighter could press the button to answer the call, Ravenna and Rowena, who were across from him, suddenly raised their slender, pale palms. Their eyes, as cold as the Antarctic ice, fixed on the green-belt fighter.“How dare you hurt my student. You’re really asking for death!”After that, the two figures surged forward. Their palms, filled with inner strength, aimed at the green-belt fighter’s head.The green-belt fighter’s heart trembled violently. Unconsciously, he wanted to flee backward.But just as he was about to retreat, he realized his body felt like it was bound, completely unable to move.In an instant, he felt the breath of death envelop his entire body. The man’s eyes widened in terror.He watched in horror as the red and black silhouette charged toward him. The intense fear of death made him

Just wait until tomorrow, when his wedding with Aurora is over. He would become the most honorable man in Division Nine.The more he thought about it, the more excited the man became. He also increasingly felt that his future looked incredibly promising.Right at that moment, the green-belt fighter carrying Richard’s blood appeared before Albin.“Well? Have you taken care of Richard’s corpse? Where’s the blood? Where is it? Hurry, give it to me!” Albin wiped the victorious smile off his face and asked anxiously.The green-belt fighter lowered his head and handed over the syringe. Then he spoke to the man.“Mr. Albin, Richard’s body has been destroyed, completely shattered. I’ve obtained his blood. This is the blood taken from Richard’s body.”“Hehe.” Albin smirked cunningly and confidently. The look in his eyes was more arrogant than that of kings from ancient times.“Good job. Now go back and finish the rest. Before tomorrow morning, you all must find the child that Richard kidnapped
