Everyone present was dejected.
At this moment, Aurora's eyes filled with magic power.
She found that she could see outside the facility.
She saw a beautiful butterfly fall into a spiderweb, tightly entangled and unable to move.
The spider slowly crawled over and bit the butterfly fiercely.
The butterfly died.
However, a bee happened to pass by and also crashed into the spiderweb.
The bee struggled frantically.
After relentless effort, it broke through the spiderweb.
It gained its freedom.
"Freedom?"
Young Aurora seemed to understand something.
Just as everyone in the laboratory was deeply disappointed.
Aurora's severed arm suddenly flew up and reattached to Aurora's body.
With a thought from Aurora, her entire body filled with magic power.
Her severed arm instantly became as good as new.
She effortlessly removed all the instruments from her body.
On the floor lay her spilled blood.
The blood suddenly floated up.
"It can't get out, everyone rest assured!"
Someone spoke.
The next second, the blood directly pierced through ten-meter-thick reinforced glass.
At the same time, it passed through the speaker's forehead.
No one noticed anything unusual.
The next second, the blood, like dense bullets, pierced through the glass, slaughtering the surrounding researchers.
In Mark's perspective, he himself turned and ran... Mark suddenly woke up, realizing he had just fainted.
He looked at the watch on his arm; three days had passed.
(A watch made by Mitsugoshi Company)
At this moment, Mark looked at Elisa.
She hadn't woken up.
But the black patterns on her body seemed to have significantly reduced.
As soon as Mark stood up, he felt incredibly weak.
His legs gave out, and he fell.
Fortunately, there was still food Mark had prepared earlier in the room.
Mark immediately ate something to replenish his strength.
"The black patterns on Elisa's body have decreased, so the method seems credible!"
At this moment, Mark suddenly heard footsteps.
He listened intently to the sounds.
He was a fugitive now and dared not be discovered by anyone.
"Brothers, life has been getting harder lately. They say some thief stole a lot of valuable things, making our own stealing incredibly difficult!"
"You're right, these people have been so vigilant lately. I almost got caught today, good thing I ran fast!"
"Me too! If I find out who that bastard is who stole those things, I'm definitely going to catch him and beat him up. He's practically driving us to our deaths!"
Listening to the conversation of the three, Mark felt they were talking about him.
He had recently lowered his standards and resorted to stealing money.
Because he was completely broke, and as a fugitive, he couldn't get a stable job.
Mark had inquired about the Chasing Stars Society; everyone in the Chasing Stars Society had been wiped out.
All the assets of the Chasing Stars Society had been absorbed by House Hope, which stood behind Christina.
Long before, Christina had involved House Hope in the Chasing Stars Society, then gradually pulled House Hope out of the illicit business, making them work openly.
She told the Chasing Stars Society internally that it was to use House Hope to cover for them.
No one expected that Alexia's goal from beginning to end was to completely eradicate dark forces.
She deliberately created a powerful dark force, then worked from the inside out to completely destroy the organization.
Only Alexia and Christina were privy to this information.
Of course, Shadow Garden had long seen through their goals but chose not to expose them.
Shadow Garden only targeted the Diabolos Cult and was unwilling to meddle in power struggles.
Mark had joined the Chasing Stars Society for a relatively short time and knew nothing about this.
The old patriarch of House Hope, Christina's father, never imagined that House Hope could actually control even greater power.
All of this was thanks to Christina.
As Christina's father, he would occasionally feel proud of his daughter.
Although he had once given up on Christina and wanted to bow down to the Thirteen Night Swords.
But ultimately, he was still Christina's father.
Christina did not do anything to him.
However, from then on, she never called him 'father' again.
He didn't care about that either.
Everything he did was for House Hope.
As long as House Hope could prosper, he would do anything.
All he wanted was to preserve House Hope.
After Christina returned from her travels, she convened a family meeting.
When Christina first became the family head, the entire clan was reluctant to let a young girl lead them.
That was when Christina used force to beat everyone who opposed her.
Now, the entire clan respected and obeyed her wholeheartedly.
"Welcome, Head of the Family!"
The entire clan shouted in unison.
Christina, supported by everyone, took her seat as the family head.
"I believe you have all thoroughly absorbed all the anomalies of the Chasing Stars Society. Now, hand over half of the money you've acquired!"
"Head of the Family, isn't that inappropriate? We also spent a great deal of time and effort to absorb these things!" an elderly man spoke.
He was Christina's father's second uncle.
He was considered an old relic in the family.
"Not wanting to hand it over is fine too. Then your name will appear on the wanted list!"
Christina said with icy eyes.
"Christina, I am your second grand-uncle, how can you treat me like this!" the old man shouted.
"Old geezer, do you want to enter your coffin early?!"
"Nana, my grandfather was just a little impulsive!"
"Is 'Nana' what you should call me?" Christina looked at her cousin and said coldly.
The moment their eyes met, the man felt a killing intent.
"Head of the Family!" the man respectfully said.
"My patience is limited. If it's not handed over within three days, then Princess Alexia's Daybreak Knights will come for you!"
Everyone looked at the petite figure, not very tall, but with an extremely majestic aura.
"Are you really going to force us to our deaths before you stop?!"
At this moment, the old man spoke again.
"Force you to your deaths? Those things were never yours to begin with. Giving you 50% of the inheritance is already good enough. Now you're haggling with me? It seems I've been too kind to you!"
Christina disappeared from her spot and suddenly reappeared in front of the old man a few seconds later.
"If a plant wants to grow healthily, it will discard the unnecessary parts, letting them wither directly. A family is the same; the parasites of the family head must be purged."
"Big brother, quickly persuade your daughter!"
At this moment, the old man's son spoke to Christina's father.
Christina's father remained silent.
He knew he had no fatherly standing in front of Christina.
So he chose to remain silent.
"You dare to lay a hand on me? I am your second grand-uncle!"
The old man was still relying on his age to assert authority.
He completely disregarded Christina.
"Let me tell you, don't even think about making me spit out what I've eaten. Don't even think about it!"
"Is that so?"
Christina sheathed her magic sword and walked away.
No one had seen when Christina drew her sword.
She hadn't drawn her sword, yet she sheathed it.
Everyone's faces were filled with confusion.
At this moment, the old man suddenly collapsed.
His stomach had been cut open by a magic sword.
Christina left without saying anything.
Everyone clearly understood Christina's final action.
"If you don't want to spit out what you've eaten, then I'll cut open your stomach!"
"Doctor, doctor, quickly find a doctor!"
