Chapter 573
This wasn’t an ordinary feat. Normal people couldn’t even get close, let alone deal with it and block the water.
A thought suddenly struck Selah. “When Odalys hit someone just now, could she have been punishing someone?”
While tying her hair up. Freya ate a piece of chocolate and said. “That might be the case. I’ve seen this in novels and TV shows. One can hit someone from afar after one draws a figure and writes down their astrological signs. She kicked and slapped the air. It’s kind of like a scene from a TV show
Francis and Stellan were both dumbfounded. They came back too late and missed the good stuff.
While the others were removing their makeup, Odalys was already downstairs.
She drove back to the hospital and made her way swiftly to the VIP lounge.
Pushing the door open, she saw Percival seated alone on the sofa. There were fruits and snacks on the coffee table and a pile of documents to be processed on one side.
The light was on. Percival sat there, his brows furrowed as he reviewed a document in his hand, a golden pen poised between his fingertips
The lounge was quiet, except for the rustling sound of him flipping through the documents, and the scratch of his pen. She walked in quietly.
Percival looked up sharply and saw Odalys.
He quickly put the document aside. His eyes were full of joy, and even his furrowed brows relaxed.
u’re back?” Percival asked.
“Odalys, you’re
He beckoned her to sit down, while gathering the snacks and fruits prepared for her on the table and offered them to her
Odalys peeled an orange and curiously leaned closer
Percival explained quickly, “I’ve taken care of everything”
He was very busy with work. The Stewart family had a huge business, and he had to deal with an overwhelming amount of documents every day.
Callum used to help him prepare them. Now that Callum was injured and unconscious, Percival naturally had to deal with them himself
*I ran into Hannah at the hotel. She really booked a room for your grandfather. The point is that she used a forbidden scent in the room, which is something unorthodox from Theeyae.
“She used a fragrance, much like incense, that could overwhelm the senses and make one susceptible to her influence. It was similar to Sophia’s Love Spell Odalys said to Percival
Percival was, of course, well aware of Hannah’s arrest.
He said softly, “Grandpa told me about it. He called the police and got Hannah arrested.”
When he sat with Odalys, even sumple conversations were a joy. He felt energized. It was as if Odalys radiated righteousness, which could influence
others around her.
Percival was attracted by her vitality
“Hannah couldn’t believe it when the police said that Grandpa had reported her. She probably thought that Grandpa would fall for her trick, allowing her to use him to worm her way into the Stewart family.
“It see
seems that she knows the Bennett family won’t be able to make a comeback this time.” Odalys said as she ate
Percival poured her a glass of water, and the two chatted happily.
Odalys’s attention fell on his leg, and her gaze dropped to the bandaged spot
She asked with concern, Tues it still hurt!”

A faint smile appeared on Percival’s lips when he heard her concerned words. Tm fine. It’s just a small injury and will be healed in a couple of days”
However, Percival secretly hoped that the injury would heal a little slower. Maybe he could use this opportunity to make Odalys care about him a

little more. The thought startled him as soon as it crossed his mind.
He was surprised to find himself capable of such deviousness, feigning to gain her sympathy.
Thinking of this, Percival quickly dismissed those frivolous thoughts.
He thought. No, I have to protect her openly and honestly. I absolutely can’t resort to any schemes.
“Let’s go back then. Do you still have the blood we collected from the hunting trap? Odalys asked.
Upon hearing her question, Percival handed the item to her.
“I still have it.” Percival replied.
Sensing his unspoken question, Odalys explained, “Your blood is very pure. It can enhance others abilities. For example, if someone lacks explosive power, your blood can increase it tenfold.
“Fortunately, we’ve dealt with it, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. If Oliver and Brandon had gotten their hands on your blood, they could find a way to destroy the entire Stewart family.
“The location I chose for Magic Entertainment is the place with the best energy field in all of Crownridge. As long as my company stands, so will Crownridge
“But if someone with malicious intentions were to obtain your blood, Magic Entertainment could also be destroyed. My mentor is far away. Even if The protects us, he might not be able to stop them.”
Percival’s heart sank as he listened.
Odalys was incredibly thoughtful and meticulous in everything she did
Percival said with lingering fear. Thankfully, you were there today. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble it would have been?”
Odalys smiled and shook her head, She stood up, waving her hand in front of him. “Need a hand?”
“Percival’s eyes stayed on her outstretched hand, his gaze drawn to her delicate, porcelain fingers. A sudden warmth spread to his ears. Though he didn’t truly need her assistance to stand, he reached out, gently taking her small hand in his
Their hands intertwined, a perfect fit, and the heat of his touch sent a shiver through her. The intense sensation made her pulse quicken, her nerves on edge. She wanted to pull her hand away, but his grip tightened around hers.
“Well then, I guess Lowe Mrs. Stewart a debt.” Percival said, his voice huskier as he smiled at her teasingly.
Odalys guided toward the door, glancing back at the papers nearby. “Aren’t you going to take those with you
“No need. It’s all taken care of. Someone from the Stewart family will handle it later, Percival replied.
He wasn’t short on help, but they preferred to stay out of the spotlight. Many worked in the shadows, unseen. Callum was just his visible assistant, while Percival had others working behind the scenes
“You’re so mysterious,” Odalys said, intrigued.
It was true–Percival often seemed like he did nothing, but she knew better. He was always in control, ensuring everything was handled behind the
scenes.
“When they have some free time, I’ll have them come by and meet you,” he said, but Odalys didn’t respond.
ey would only be put at risk. The
She knew that the Stewart family’s shadow operatives were best left unseen. Once their ideputies were revealed, they fewer people who knew of them, the better,
Percival’s tall frame leaned slightly against her as she helped him out of the room, his body close to her.
“Damn it,” Orion muttered, holding his coffee as he walked toward the break room. He hadn’t expected to see Percival leaning on Odalys for support at the end of the hallway, looking like he needed protection.
