Chapter 711: The Inheritance TestThe two walked slowly into the sacred realm.The moment Kai and Abigail crossed the threshold, the world behind them disappeared.There was no violent pull, no spinning sensation, and no obvious movement through space. One second, the ancient gates of the tower stood behind them, surrounded by the silent sacred grounds and the lingering pressure of the outside world. The next second, everything changed so completely that it felt as though they had been transported to another place, even though both of them instinctively knew they had not truly left the tower.Kai stopped first.Abigail halted beside him.The entrance was gone.Behind them stretched only a pale road disappearing into silver mist. There were no doors, no tower walls, and no sign of the countless powers that had entered before them. The space had separated everyone the moment they crossed, placing Kai and Abigail alone in a realm that seemed far larger than the tower should have been cap

Chapter 713: The Fear Beneath His StrengthThinking about this, Kai straightened his back.The pressure over him did not weaken. If anything, it became heavier the moment he tried to resist, pressing into his shoulders and forcing his knees deeper against the floor. Pain spread through his back, and the weak body he had been placed in shook badly, but Kai still pushed one foot beneath him.Astrid watched him coldly.“You still dare resist?”Kai did not answer.His breathing was rough, and every part of his body told him to remain down, but he refused to listen. He already knew this was a test. He did not understand the rules or what would happen if he failed, but none of that changed who he was.Perhaps he could die inside the test and death here would kill his real body as well.He did not know, and at that moment, he could not care less.He had died too many times to let the possibility of death keep him on his knees. Even before Zora’s world, he had faced people stronger than him a

Chapter 715: A Cruel IllusionKai’s veins bulged as he struggled with everything he had to leave the place and save them, but he was powerless.His body refused to move no matter how hard he tried. At that point, he had completely forgotten that this was only a test and none of it was real. All he wanted was to reach Abigail and Emily before they were killed.“Move!” he shouted, forcing his body forward.But the force holding him remained firm.As Kai continued struggling, the scene before him suddenly changed.The battlefield disappeared, and another scene appeared in its place. This time, Abigail stood alone, injured and barely able to hold her sword. Emily stood opposite her with her poison whip wrapped around one hand.Kai froze.Before he could understand what was happening, Emily attacked.The whip moved quickly and struck Abigail across the chest. Poison entered her body, and Abigail collapsed before she could defend herself.Kai’s eyes widened.Why would Emily kill Abigail?It

Chapter 717: The Life That Forgot HerOn Abigail’s side, she was sitting in her office with a deep frown.The documents spread across the desk were enough to ruin anyone’s mood. There were unpaid salaries, debts that had been ignored for months, contracts signed without proper review, and suppliers threatening to stop working with the company. By the time Abigail returned, her family had nearly destroyed everything she had built. They had spent money carelessly, trusted the wrong people, and made decisions based on pride instead of sense. What annoyed her most was that none of them had accepted responsibility. They had simply waited for her to return and repair the damage as though that was what she existed for.So she took the business back.She removed everyone who had no idea what they were doing, cancelled the most foolish contracts, negotiated with the angry suppliers, and froze every account that had been misused. The employees had expected panic, but Abigail did not panic. She

Chapter 719: Was She Worthy of Him?After a while, Abigail finally calmed down and began to think.The tears had stopped, but the ache in her chest had not. She remained seated where she had broken down, staring at the life the illusion had forced her to watch again and again. Kai and Emily were still there in the distance, surrounded by children and grandchildren, living peacefully as though Abigail had never existed.This time, however, she did not scream or try to reach them.She forced herself to breathe and think properly.Emily had been Kai’s original fiancée.They had been betrothed long before many of the events that later brought Kai and Abigail together. Emily had always had a place in Kai’s life, even if things between them had become complicated over time. Abigail knew that. She had never forgotten it.So why had she become so angry when she saw them together?Why had the sight of Kai touching Emily’s pregnant stomach filled her with jealousy?Why had she hated watching th
