“That power…”
Mary recalled the power she had felt before. That terrifying power that seemed to be able to topple mountains and overtum seas, as if it could destroy the heavens and earth, seemed to be emitted from this small fragment of bone.
From the very beginning, the feeling Gunali gave her was very different. That feeling was different from the other people around her who had been captured as sacrifices as if there was some secret hidden within. The attitude of the Red Lotus disciples after that proved this point. But even so, the
possibility of such a little girl possessing terrifying power was too low.
Mary would not think so. Everything seemed to be the power of this small fragment of bone.
‘If the person who possesses this fragment of bone is me…”
Mary could not help but have this thought flash through her mind. However, she sighed, and a self-deprecating expression appeared on her face. Previously, most of the offerings in the stone palace had been snatched by the Red Lotus Disciples in various ways.
However, there were also a small number of people who had entered voluntarily in search of a powerful force. Mary was one of these people.
However, from the final outcome, nothing seemed to be different. Mary turned around and looked at Gunali. Compared to her, Gunali had almost everything she wanted. A good family, a noble bloodline, and…
That mysterious and powerful power. It was really enviable. Mary sighed in her heart, but she didn’t do anything. She just silently looked at Gunali, who was lying on the head of the bed and seemed to be asleep, with mixed feelings.
From the outside, she heard footsteps. Then, the door of the room was opened, and a handsome and dignified middle-aged man ran in. He was so fast that Mary didn’t know how he got in.
“Gunali!”
Looking at Gunali in the room, he was ecstatic. Even his movements were trembling, for fear of waking the little girl in front of him.
As for Mary, she seemed to have been completely ignored by him. Mary looked at this scene with mixed feelings.
“This is… Gunali’s father?”
Standing where she was, she looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with mixed feelings. “He looks so strong…”
Mary had seen the middle-aged man in the photo frame before. It was the middle-aged man who was holding Gunali, but his aura was stronger. After a long while, Malikado tumed around and looked at Mary who was beside him. His gaze was somewhat scrutinizing, but he did not say anything. He only
nodded at her, then turned around and looked at the broken bone on Gunali’s body.
Under his gaze, there was a faint light flickering within the broken bone. There seemed to be an inexplicable power emerging within it, making people feel that it was unique. However, very soon, this power quieted down and dissipated, as if it had never appeared before.
“This is…”
Sensing the power just now, Malikado’s expression changed. He had already realized something.
At this time, Chen Heng’s consciousness had already left the broken bone. In the quiet and spacious laboratory, Chen Heng was busy working on his work, doing experiments in his hand. An inexplicable fluctuation appeared. He subconsciously raised his head and
looked into the distance as if he had sensed something.
“Has it ended?”
The scene from before appeared in his mind, and he quickly skimmed through it. Then, he nodded. He was quite satisfied with this matter.
“The Black King…
“Tseem to have caught another big fish…”
A smile appeared on Chen Heng’s face. He had an inexplicable affinity with Gunali. When the people around him saw him, they could not help but be surprised.
‘The person who had left with Gunali was not Chen Heng’s actual body, but a part of his power. This was a corresponding measure to prevent Gunali from getting into trouble. After all, knowing that someone was eyeing Gunali, how could Chen Heng not take any precautions and let the others do whatever
they wanted?
That broken bone was once a fragment of his body, and it was the most suitable part of his true spirit energy to be used as a host.
This energy, coupled with the Ancient Armor, was enough to display extremely powerful battle prowess. Chen Heng was quite satisfied with the current situation.
This one trip that he had not only resolved a hidden danger, but it had also subdued the Red Lotus Society’s forces. This would be of great benefit to Chen Heng’s future plans. The Red Lotus Society’s forces were much larger than the Oriel family’s. Moreover, they had connections with many of the
influential figures in the Hechi Star. Through them, he could obtain many precious resources and even other things.
Of course, up until now, Chen Heng had only controlled Elder Philip. There was still some time before he could control the entire Red Lotus Society. However, from Chen Heng’s point of view, this was almost sufficient. After subduing the Red Lotus Society, Chen Heng would be able to use the Red Lotus
Society’s resources to increase the progress of his experiments greatly.
Once he recovered his previous strength, he could even borrow the power of the Red Lotus Society and the Oriel family to spread his influence throughout the entire Hechi Star and obtain a huge amount of influence. If he could really do this, it would be much more convenient for Chen Heng.
Various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind, and then he thought of Gunali.
“Now, I reckon that Marikado’s side will be very pleasantly surprised, right?
Chen Heng thought with some wicked interest. At this moment, he could already imagine Marikado’s mood. And in reality, it was indeed so.
Malikado was feeling very pleasantly surprised at this moment. The legendary Ancient Armor had actually reappeared. Moreover, the one who possessed this legendary item was not anyone else, but his daughter. This kind of surprise was really too big.
In the quiet room, Malikado had already heard the story from Mary. He even knew the fact that an elder of the Red Lotus Society had died and was injured by Gunali.
To put it bluntly, when Malikado first heard this news, his eyeballs almost popped out. Was this a joke? An elder of the Red Lotus Society was a person who stood at the peak of Hechi Star. Usually, it would be extremely difficult for one to even walk in front of them, let alone kill them.
The Oriel family was not an ordinary power. With Malikado’s strength and network, he naturally knew of the existence of the Red Lotus Society and understood the power of the Red Lotus Society’s elders. This was a true peak figure. Even he himself had to look up to him. Now, such a peak figure had died
at the hands of his daughter.
From Mary’s description, it didn’t even take much effort. This was really… a pleasant surprise. Looking at his daughter lying on the big bed, seemingly in a deep sleep, a complicated expression appeared on his face. At this moment, he really wanted to wake Gunali up and ask her in detail about what had
happened previously.
