Chapter 538
But they chose to come back, which meant they were going to die here with him.
Callum was stunned by them, but the cave’s entrance boomed like a blast from the sky before he could recover. It blew them away, and their bodies seemed to blow up.
They collapsed to the ground, covered in wounds.
Before losing consciousness, Callum gritted his teeth, bit down hard on his tongue to stay awake, and pulled out his phone to type a message.
A rock smashed into his hand as he was about to send it
“Ouch!” Callum screamed, blood gushing
…from
hand and dripping onto the phone screen, but he still struggled to type.
He felt as if he’d been kicked hard. His body flew through the air, but his hand never let go of his phone.
The image froze at that moment, and as the blade of grass stained with Percival’s blood fell to the ground, the image disappeared into thin air,
“What is this?” Orson was startled again.
The scene just now floated before their eyes like a dream. Even the voices were so clear that it didn’t seem like a dream but something that had happened for real.
“I used Percival’s blood to unlock Callum’s memories and recreate what just happened to them,” Odalys said.
Her chest felt tight. She had expended too much energy and stamina today, and it was taking its toll.
“Odalys Percival snapped out of his shock and noticed she didn’t look well. He quickly got up and walked toward her, putting his arms around her shoulders to steady her swaying body.
Odalys shook her head at him, indicating that she was fine.
Percival helped her to sit down on the side and reached out to hold her small hand.
That’s enough. Don’t use your powers anymore. Otherwise, it will consume too much energy. What if it wears you out!” Percival said to her in a low voice.
His
s eyes were full of worry as he looked at her.
Odalys smiled, lowered her head, buried her face in her knees, and looked at him sideways
The moonlight peeked out from behind the dark clouds and fell on him. Odalys gently stroked Percival’s short black hair, straightening his messy strands.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Odalys said.
She didn’t expect that not only was Callum loyal and righteous, but even those bodyguards were not afraid of death.
It seemed that no one in the Stewart family feared death, not even the servants and the bodyguards.
“When Callum wakes up, we’ll go back,” Percival said.
He kept silent about what he’d seen and didn’t mention needing to find the location of the incident. He just stayed with Odalys quietly.
Odalys rested her face on her knees, seemingly exhausted, and drifted off to sleep
Percival stood up, removed his suit jacket, and draped it over her. Seeing how soundly she was sleeping, he knew she was truly exhausted.
Orson, sitting not far away,
walked over after observing the scene.
“She’s been overexerting herself lately. Try to speak less in front of her, and it’s best not to mention anything else,” Percival said.
Otherwise, he was afraid Odalys wouldn’t be able to handle it if this continued.

“Alright. Orson replied thoughtfully.
He had wanted to ask Odalys about Callum’s incident, like where it had happened and why he was suddenly in the tank on display. But she had
fallen asleep
“The incident must have happened nearby, and this tank shouldn’t be an ordinary object. It can hold more than a dozen people and yet remain unnoticed. The other party must have used some illusion to erase all traces.
“We just saw what happened but didn’t see who did it. It’s easy to see that the other party had deeply and dared not show their true face.
“This person may be an acquaintance, someone we know,” Percival speculated
Orson nodded.
“I thought so, too. This person tried to kill Callum and the others, but he couldn’t let them see him. He has such a powerful body, or as Odalys said, magic. This person must be above Oliver.
“While everyone in Crownridge respects Oliver and thinks he is powerful, tonight’s events show that he is no match for Odalys, which is quite
strange.
“Odalys defeated him without much effort, and he was seriously injured. So, is he a stepping stone thrown out by others? Or is he someone else’s substitute?” Orson gasped.
He felt that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.
There were dangers everywhere, and something might happen at any time.
“Oliver has established a foothold in Crownridge for decades. It seems this plan was set in motion long ago, possibly before my father had the accident, Percival said.
He couldn’t imagine what his father had discovered. Otherwise, why would he have gotten himself involved in the situation?
“What is the relationship between Father and Odalys’s master!
After all that had happened. Odalys’s master asked her to return to the Bennett family. Is it because he wants her to join forces with him again, or is she in danger! Percival wondered.
“Also, Odalys’s necklace is so powerful that many people cover it but are too afraid to steal it from her. Today, Hannah and Sophia tried to ge asking her to give it to them,
“Are they unable to rob, or is it that they cannot rob?” Orson continued to ask
Percival turned around and looked thoughtfully at the sleeping Odalys
“Her master gave this necklace to her. Maybe it will only work if she gives it to someone willingly. Otherwise, if it is stolen, the necklace will become
useless
“It’s like Sophia’s Love Spell. Without the blessing of the energy field and no one to maintain her fortune, the Love Spell is useless in her hands, and she can’t even manipulate Atlas
“Her necklace may be the same, and there are conditions for its use.” Percival guessed.
Although he knew nothing about these things, he knew the good things were not for everyone.
It was like taking too much tonic. If a person was too weak and ate something too nourishing, they might die. So, not everything was edible.
The same went for this necklace.
“I see. It seems Odalys is the chosen one. Orson understood immediately.
What happened tonight had once again shattered his worldview.
He used to be a non–believer, but now, he planned to go to Magic Entertainment to pray after returning to Crownridge as the first order of business. to ensure his safety,
No wonder Grandpa had told me to go to church when I had nothing to do Orson thought.
He used to dismiss it as unscientific, but he had cast aside those reservations now
If science was useful, then what was the point of magic?
Science couldn’t explain what was happening now
Til go in and see Callum,” Orson said before leaving.
He wanted to give Percival and Odalys some space. He knew Percival well. Percival wasn’t a lustful man, but he was very keen on Odalys. He knew Percival must have wanted to be alone with her.
