"Hehe, I'm on my way to find you."
Happiness came so suddenly that Adam felt a little lightheaded.
Bathing in a hot spring, was she hinting at him?
"Oh~ How do you know where I am?" Leona narrowed her eyes, asking, suppressing her anger.
"The Dragon-Phoenix Rings attract each other; the red string of fate connects us."
Adam touched the ring in his hand, feeling extremely proud.
"So that's it."
Leona carefully observed the Phoenix Ring on her hand. She had been "tricked" by this item; if the spatial storage wasn't so rare, she would have thrown it away long ago.
She wasn't in the mood to study this thing, unlike that heartless man, who must be extremely proud.
The more Leona thought about it, the angrier she got. Only now did she see Adam's true colors: a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"Wait where you are, I'll be there right away."
Leona stood up, quickly put on her clothes, and a vast amount of magic power leaked out. She could no longer resist giving Adam a good beating.
"Lady Leona, where are you going?"
Noelle asked cautiously.
"To eliminate a menace!"
Leona turned her head and smiled, like a furious lioness about to erupt, utterly captivating Noelle.
So cool.
With a whoosh, Leona shot into the sky, following the guidance of the Phoenix Ring, and rushed towards Adam.
"Haha, woman, I knew you couldn't resist any longer."
Adam's mood was like a blooming flower, extremely beautiful. He said narcissistically, "Sigh~ My damn charm, why can't I tone it down a bit?"
"If everyone falls in love with me, wouldn't I be exhausted… Hiss~"
Adam shivered. He suddenly had a bad premonition, feeling that something bad was going to happen today.
"Sister, I won't wait for you. I need to go to the toilet to surpass my limits."
Adam made a clumsy excuse, intending to return to the Black Bulls Headquarters first. There was too much going on today, and it wasn't suitable for dealing with women.
"Don't be like that~ Little brother, I'll be there right away. I must make sure you have an unforgettable night."
Leona's extremely seductive voice came, and this strong sense of contrast immediately made Adam unable to move.
His brain was purely controlled by some evil entity. With an air of 'who can stop me,' Adam prepared to stay put.
Whoosh!
A powerful whooshing sound came. Adam looked over with a surprised expression. Leona was like a meteor in the night sky, rushing straight towards him.
"Sister Leona, don't be so impatient…"
Adam spread his arms, ready to give Leona a loving hug, but what greeted him was a fist as big as a sandbag.
Bang!
"Go to hell, Adam!"
The intimate contact between fist and face, this was the concretization of love. Adam was sent flying.
"Leona, you're trying to murder your husband!"
Adam clutched his face, crying slightly as he shouted, "You crazy woman…"
Bang! There was no comfort; only countless fists greeted Adam.
"Ah! Don't hit there! Do you want to lose your happiness?!"
"You still have the nerve to say that? This is the root of all evil. Don't worry, once this is removed, I'll stay with you forever."
"Unreasonable!"
...Latin's father's manor.
In a dark and damp basement, Latin was tied to a chair, covered in wounds. The entire room was filled with the smell of blood. The light had gone out of his eyes; he was like a living "corpse."
With a creak, the old iron door was pushed open. A woman dressed as a maid, holding a rusty iron tray, looked at Latin with disdain and threw the "food" onto the table with a clatter.
"Young Master, don't be stubborn. Just tell us the location of the treasure, and you won't have to suffer anymore."
Aisha's extremely smug voice awakened this "corpse."
"Aisha… My father… was good to you all…"
Latin's hoarse voice sounded. Ever since Adam left that day, he had been imprisoned here by the butler and his group, who interrogated him daily about the treasure's whereabouts.
"Young Master, you're joking. How could we forget the Master's kindness?"
Aisha said with a playful expression.
"Beast!"
Slap!
"So dirty, I need to go wash my hands."
Aisha ran out with a look of disgust. Latin had lost all will to live. No one had saved him for so many days, and his parents had probably met with an unfortunate end long ago.
"Father, Mother, I'm sorry."
Latin decided to fight to the death. The next time someone asked him about the treasure, he would trick them over, and then use his mouth… "Young man, do you want revenge?"
A strange voice echoed in Latin's mind. He showed no panic, not even a slight movement.
"Do you want revenge?"
The demon's voice suddenly became sharp. Latin was startled. The hallucination he thought he had earlier seemed to be real.
"Yes!"
Latin didn't hesitate for a moment. He said resolutely.
He didn't even care who the owner of the voice was. He only wanted revenge, to send all those who betrayed his father to hell.
"Swallow the thing on the table."
Latin didn't hesitate. He leaned his head over directly and, like a hungry wolf, swallowed the black viscous substance in one gulp.
It was so fishy and foul-smelling!
Latin's tears flowed out, and the strong urge to vomit didn't make him open his mouth. He was afraid that if he threw it up, it wouldn't work.
In the face of the flames of revenge, none of this mattered.
The broken clapperboard within Latin's body unleashed its final power. It wanted to control this body and rule this continent.
"Ah!"
Latin let out a scream, and the thief guarding the door immediately rushed in.
"What do you want… Ah!"
Latin's body, enveloped in lightning, emitted a blue lightning bolt that struck the thief.
With a crack, the thief, who only screamed for a few seconds, was knocked unconscious by the electricity.
The lightning ritual continued… Black Bulls Headquarters!
Adam covered his face, pushed open the door, and ran towards his room. After only two steps, he was stopped by Asta.
"Adam, I went to the hot springs today."
"Just go, I'm tired."
Adam, whose face was a bit bruised, really had no face to see anyone. After being ravaged by that crazy woman, he felt like dying.
What kind of situation was this? Could it be that Leona's menopause had arrived?
Adam still didn't know that it was because of that little girl Noelle that the secret was exposed.
"Let me see."
Yami sensed something was wrong. He pulled Adam's hand away, revealing a face full of bruises to everyone.
"Haha, Adam, did a lion scratch you? How did you end up like this?"
Yami couldn't hold back. This arrogant kid had finally gotten his comeuppance.
"Adam, are you okay? I'll call Sister Vanessa to come and check on you."
Noelle walked over with a worried expression. These guys who went to the hot springs had just returned, and everyone else was asleep.
"Alright."
Adam gave up. A good man doesn't fight with women, especially his own woman; he could only give in a little.
In the depths of his heart, Adam also felt that he was in the wrong, but he just didn't know what the problem was.
