Chapter 562
The burning sensation on the ring subsided a bit at Odalys’s words.
Odalys said coldly, 111 avenge you and make those who hurt you pay a terrible price. They not only killed your entire family, but also seized your ancestral home, and later established a presence in Crownridge. And now, they’re targeting the Stewart and Bennett families. We have the same

The ring glowed again, as if responding to her.
Odalys’s eyes were cold, but her attitude was firm. She strode forward quickly, the wind blowing constantly. It ruffled her hair, sending her ponytail flying in a beautiful arc. Even in the dark, Odalys still exuded a bright light..
“Abracadabra, let the magic begin, Odalys chanted the spell and tossed a talisman, which formed a sphere in mid–air. She rose gently onto the sphere, her entire body lifting into the air as she stepped
The sphere was transparent as if it were in the clouds. She looked into the distance and saw the riverbank collapse with a roar, the flood surging relentlessly
The surrounding woods were destroyed as many trees toppled to the ground. In seconds, the nearby trees were swept away, and weeds were uprooted
Odalys stomped on the sphere beneath her feet, gaining speed as she darted forward. With a backhand, she caught a nearby branch, and without hesitation, she grabbed it and thung it ahead.
She moved with swift, ruthless precision. The branch she threw pierced the breach in the embankment.
As the branch plunged downward, the talisman she had tossed lodged firmly in place. A golden light flashed, and the raging flood seemed to be
swallowed whole
The sphere beneath her feet shot forward, effectively sealing the breach.
The flood continued to surge outward, but the surrounding area was somewhat arid. The water was quickly absorbed, becoming shallower as it spread.
Odalys grunted. A sharp pain shot through her fingertip, as if the ring was about to snap her finger in two. Odalys cried out in pain, thrown off balance as if struck by an invisible force.
She turned her head to see a large pit behind her. A dozen sharpened branches protruded from the bottom. Someone made a trap here. The sharp branches were meant to impale any animal that fell in
An animal running at high speed could fall in by accident, become impaled by the branches, get seriously injured, and be unable to escape.
Shock flickered in Odalys’s eyes. She hadn’t expected this. Having just had a second chance at life, she couldn’t die now. But before she could react, her body plummeted downwards,
“Odalys.” Percival’s deep voice rang out.
Odalys followed the sound of his voice and saw a tall figure running towards her in desperation His handsome face was etched with fear.
He sprinted towards her, his large hand reaching out to grab her wrist, He pulled her with all his might into his arms, his embrace tightening around her waist. But the force of pulling her up while running had thrown him off balance. With a thud, he fell heavily to the ground. Percival held Odalys protectively in his armas as she fell into his embrace. Her small face bumped against his strong chest, and she could faintly hear his heartbeat. His heartbeat pounded against her like a drum beating.
“Scared?” Percival’s husky voice came from above her head.
Hearing his voice, Odalys looked up from his arms and met his intense gaze. She saw her reflection in them, filled with
She thought of him driving away, and no matter how strong and independent she was, she still felt a little aggrieved
worry.
Didn’t you leaver” Odalys said, giving him a hard punch in the chest.
She brushed it off at the time, but that didn’t mean she wain’t disappointed. While she wouldn’t want anyone to die alongside her in times of danger, when the person she liked left her behind during such times, a sense of lost still welled up in her heart.
“Silly, I didn’t leave. Percival wrapped his arms around her leider walu.

He hurriedly sat up and checked her all over. Only after making sure she wasn’t hurt did he secretly heave a sigh of relief.
Percival reached out and cupped Odaly’s delicate face. He looked into her eyes and said each word with care, “No matter what, no matter the danger, fil never abandon you. Since you chose to marry me when my condition was critical, then I owe you my life.”
As Odalys listened to his sincere words, her lips parted slightly. Percival’s fingertip rested on her rosy lips, sending a tingling sensation through her. That subtle feeling was amazing. Like an electric shock, it spread throughout her body.

“After I sent Orson away and gave him the car, I came back. No matter
happens, I will not leave you,” Percival said.
Odalys only then noticed that his pants were filthy, a far cry from their usual clean state. She knew about his obsession with cleanliness. He was covered in mud now, and his expensive clothes were no longer recognizable–as if he had crawled out of the mud.
Her lips moved, and her eyes finally reddened. She wanted to speak but her throat was so constricted that she couldn’t utter a single word. “There, there, don’t cry. Odalys, you’re the best. You’re the kindest girl, so don’t sympathize with anyone, including me, Percival said hoarsely. Odalys let out a chuckle. She didn’t expect Percival to say such cheesy things. She was still quite sad just now, but she was somehow amused by him. “Who taught you to say that? Percival, don’t try to cajole me,” Odalys said. She tried to get up but accidentally kicked his leg.
“Ouch. Percival grunted.
Odalys froze. Seeing the flash of pain on his face, she looked at the spot where she had just kicked him in disbelief. Then she pressed her hand against his leg, trying to pull up his pants.
Tim fine. Percival said.
pants. She saw that his leg was mangled, with blood oozing from several wounds.
Odalys brushed his hand aside and pulled up his pa
Only then did she turn her head and look at the pit beside them. She realized that sharp, steel bars had also been erected on the edge, and Percival’s leg was near them. The sharp steel was stained with his blood.
Odalys gasped. She hadn’t expected Percival to rush over to save her without any regard for his own safety. His leg was hurt, but he didn’t say a word about it, not even a whimper.
“How could you even say you’re fine when you’re hurt this badly? Odalys’s voice trembled slightly.
It would be a lie to say she wasn’t heartbroken. S
She had always said that caring for a man would bring a lifetime of misfortune, but she still cared.
She thought, “To hell with a lifetime of misfortune! I don’t care anymore.
