Chapter 563
Odalys retrieved some disinfectant and medicine from her canvas bag. After treating his wound, she carefully bandaged it.
Percival at on the ground, watching her lower her head and carefully treat his wounds. His eyes sparkled as if he weren’t the one injured.
Odalys looked up, meeting Percival’s amused brown eyes, and couldn’t help but say, “How could you still smile?”
Percival laughed softly and reached out to smooth her hair. “My Odalys is amazing”
In the past. Odalys felt nothing when others praised her. Now, being praised by Percival, her heart skipped a beat for no reason.
“Try to see if you can stand up. I applied some other medicine. It temporarily numbs the nerves and you won’t feel pain, but after two hours, the anesthesia will wear off, and it will definitely hurt a lot then, Odalys said.
Percival got up from the ground and found that his leg was indeed numb and he couldn’t feel the pain. He moved a bit, and because he didn’t feel any pain, his movements were the same as a normal person’s. He didn’t feel the wounds being pulled when he walked.
Percival said.
“It really doesn’t hurt,” P
Odalys hurriedly pulled him aside, staring intently at the pit. “Something is wrong with this place.”
At first, she thought it was a hunting pit that someone had deliberately dug, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case at all
Percival asked, “Why did you say that?”
From the outside, it appeared to be a trap designed for hunting.
Odalys explained. “Orientation is important for many things. This location was to stabilize the river embankment. The embankment was washed away after this hole was dug. And look at the wooden stakes above. They’re arranged like a sacred magic zone.
“But there are a few sharp steel piles on the edge, like piercing a person’s heart. Someone deliberately tried to destroy the local energy field by building an artificial lake or driving a few piles in a critical location. As a result, the energy field was completely destroyed.”
Percival listened, and he fell silent. He had heard people mention before that someone built a lake in the heart of the energy field where a queen’s tomb was located, which disrupted the royal family’s energy field.
“This flood was caused by human actions, Odalys said coldly
As soon as she finished speaking, a man’s panting voice came from not far away. Orson ran over with a flushed face, watching the two standing there admiring the hunting trap.
Orson was furious, Percival, how could you do that? You came back to look for Odalys after sending me away. Do you think I’m a coward who’s afraid of deatht
“We grew up together. You sent me away and asked me to drive back by myself. If something really happened, were you planning to die with Odalys?”
When Percival drove away, Orson was a little stunned,
Unexpectedly, after Percival drove the car to a safe location, he threw the car keys to Orson and said, “You go back by yourself.
Then Percival got out of the car and hurried back after saying that
At that time, Orson was completely shocked. As Percival rushed back, Orson quickly made arrangements for the subsequent matters, and returned directly, only to find that the flood had uprooted many trees, and the ground was covered with dirty mud.
And Percival and Odalys stood there as if they were dating.
“Stop,” Odalys said sharply.
Orson was startled and quickly retracted his outstretched foot. Following her gaze, he lowered his head and his face turned pale.
Orson had lingering fears as he looked at the erected wooden stakes. If he had taken two more steps, he might have slipped and fallen. Odalys continued, “Back up,”
Onion was also frightened silly and hurriedly backed up a few steps.

Chapter 563
They stood there, staring at the pit for a long time.
“The Bennetts did this,” Odalys said.
Her words stirred up a maelstrom of emotions.
Odalys continued, “Windsor did this. His aura could be felt
Percival’s brown eyes narrowed slightly. He made a phone call. After a while, he got an answer. He looked at Odalys and said, “I just had someone
look into it
“Surveillance cameras nearby show that Windsor drove here alone this morning when Hannah and Sophia caused trouble for you. His image was captured nearby.
“My men found out he asked the nearby farmers for a shovel, steel bars, and a knife. This is the footage of him walking towards the woods with Those items”
Odalys didn’t expect her guess to be correct.
“We might suspect he did it, but there are no surveillance cameras around here, so it’s difficult for us to prove that he did it. Besides, is he insane! Digging such a pit could kill someone.
“Hunting traps are usually set in large forests. Why did he make this one in such a confined area?” Orson muttered to himself.
Thinking of Windsor, Orson wanted to curse.
Odalys said, “Someone must have instructed him to dig this pit to destroy the energy field here. Once the flood hit, many people would be killed or injured, and the surrounding houses would be washed away. Crownridge would be in chans, and no one would pay attention to the Bennett family’s
actions.
“Oliver wanted to attack Francis last night, but I thwarted his plans. He must hate me for it. If the flood broke out and people died, there would be rumors that I’d been playing God in Crownridge recently, angering Poseidon and causing the century–old riverbank to collapse. Public opinion would destroy me
“I might have a clear conscience, but others might not think the same. People who gossip are easily swayed by their emotions. They don’t care what the truth is. As long as it’s gossip, they can use it to cyberbully.”
This was the unfortunate reality of the developed network. Many people did not want to find out the truth of the matter but simply followed popular opinion.
“They caused such a scene to target me, trying to destroy me to divest everyone’s attention from the Bennett family. It seems that the Bennett family is planning something.” Odalys said.
Percival stood there, listening quietly to her analysis.
“Previously, you led Oliver and Brandon to the Bennett Villa so that they would fight among themselves. Although they faced backlash, they remained at the Bennett Villa. Now that Windsor has made a move, he probably reached an agreement with them, Percival said.
Their
target was the
same, which was Odalys,
“I’m just worried they won’t make a move,” Odalys said.
As soon as her words fell, she heard sirens in the distance. The police and firefighters rushed over and found that although the surroundings were washed away by the flood, the damage was minimal due to the low water flow
They hurriedly stepped forward and found that the collapsed location was supported by a wooden stake,
Everyone was stunned, unable to believe their eyes, thinking they were instaken.
A single wooden stake held back the water, preventing it from rushing out. This simply was unbelievable.
Til Like care of it Percival said to Odalys
Before leaving, Percival signaled Orson to escom Oddys back to the car first to avoid further accidents, while he went forward to negotiate with the police.
