From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Mr. Colin's mind was continuously pondering, how exactly he could safely leave this place.

Turn and run?

No!

There was something nearby watching everything, it could be some mysterious presence, or perhaps a powerful Extraordinary Exponent.

He couldn't make any overly abnormal moves.

He took a deep breath, and as usual, handed the case of money to the Lion clan's steward, then he saw Colonel Abel.

He had thought Colonel Abel might have completely lost his mind, possibly even resorting to sudden assaults on others, but the situation was very unexpected.

Colin was shocked to find that Colonel Abel seemed much more mentally stable than before, with only one finger injured and bandaged.

He spoke and communicated like a normal person, very politely!

Even possibly, more amiable than he had been years before.

Could it be that his illness was cured?

No, deep down Colin negated that thought, because according to the scent he detected, it was very likely that mysterious forces had caused major interference...

So, Colonel Abel appearing in a better mental state might just be a facade...

He took a deep breath, feeling fear rising deep in his heart.

During their conversation, his expression slightly solemn, Colonel Abel suddenly smiled and said,

"What is it with you, Mr. Colin? You seem to have been pondering many things."

Colin smiled slightly, his expression calm as he responded, "Colonel Abel, thank you for your concern. There really is nothing wrong, I just haven't been sleeping well lately."

"After all, every trip from Nasir Town to Fein City requires a long journey, it's not a simple trip."

"Hmm, I see."

Colonel Abel nodded slightly, then suddenly reached out to grab Colin's wrist, staring into his eyes for a long moment, then biting his finger and using the blood to start writing twisted characters on the wall:

"Mr. Colin, then please tell me, why has your heartbeat been so alarmingly fast since you entered the door? As if you could die at any moment?"

Colin's heartbeat instantly climbed again, understanding that no matter how much he tried to mask his demeanor and tone, it was useless, because he couldn't control his heartbeat!

Damn!

He had been targeted!

He merely attempted, and instantly knew that there was a huge gap in power between them, and he couldn't escape with his own ability.

Therefore, Colin could only try to calm down as much as possible to glean more information from the other party.

Frowning, he stared at the man before him and said,

"You're absolutely not Abel Leone, who are you? What are you doing here? You even attacked the regent of the Lion clan, aren't you afraid of the church's people?"

Colonel Abel revealed a smile full of cold sarcasm, then his bleeding finger continued to write.

"Why? I would indeed like to know one thing, why does every one of you expect to get information at the last moment?"

Colin froze, an even greater fear rising within him!

Then, he saw the words Colonel Abel continued to write: "But I've reached the limit of Extraordinary Exponents I can control, so let 'Platinum' manipulate you with Mental Magic."

Obviously, the "Platinum" Mr. Brandy mentioned was that man with white hair and a black eye mask.

Colin glared, full of anger, but completely unable to resist!

The next moment, "Platinum" with the black eye mask and long hair walked out from the shadows.

"Platinum" bowed respectfully, and writing appeared on the paper.

"Mr. Brandy, my Mental Magic level is insufficient, and I may encounter problems with people of strong will..."

"But since you have given the command, I will give it a try."

After tentatively exploring Colin's mind through Mental Magic, he suddenly looked surprised, even unable to help exclaiming aloud!

"Hey, there is something interesting inside his mind! It turns out the Fischer family..."

"Ah ah ah ah!"

Colin roared, trying to resist and pray but gradually becoming groggy, unable to think properly.

—

After a day's work at the newspaper office, Inna rode the carriage back home, cautiously entered a secret room within the villa, and began sorting through information useful to the Fischer family.

It took several hours before she finished organizing all the intelligence carefully.

And by morning, Inna would use the ability of "Daybreak" to deliver all that information to a young Daybreaker stationed outside Fein City.

The young Daybreaker would then be responsible for conveying the information to the Fischer family.

"Inna!"

She suddenly heard someone outside calling her loudly, pausing for a moment.

Her husband was still working outside and had not returned, Inna quickly saw her young son approaching, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Mommy, someone is calling you outside."

"Mhm, go back to sleep, I'll see what it's about."

Inna gently soothed her son, had the servant take him away, and then walked toward the door with a furrowed brow. She opened the door and stepped out, looking at the man standing outside the villa's garden.

"Who is that?"

She glanced and faintly recognized that the figure resembled Colin, but why would he come to her place late at night? Could it be he had some important matter?

"Colin? Is that you?"

Suddenly, Inna felt something was off, frowned, and did not immediately approach.

"Yes, it's me..."

Colin's voice was filled with pain, his eyes bloodshot, his whole body trembling, seemingly trying to leave rather than get closer to the woman.

"What's wrong with you?"

Inna was slightly startled. Although she felt increasingly uneasy, her deep concern for Colin made her subconsciously want to move closer to him.

Suddenly Colin let out a loud roar.

"Don't come closer!"

He trembled as he gazed at Inna and managed to temporarily break through the mental magic, muttering a prayer under his breath.

"Oh, great Lord of the Lost, I, I beseech You, praying... I hope You can... save her!"

Colin cried, nearly hysterical in his screaming.

"Colin!"

Inna was shocked beyond measure and then saw a horrific scene: Colin's body ignited with silver-white flames, and he fell to the ground in agonizing howls like a white torch!

Colin was going to die!

The friend she had known for many years was about to die before her eyes. Inna was instinctively stunned, as strong chills ran from the back of her head to her extremities.

The next moment, icy-cold Inna did not hesitate and turned to run toward the garden wall—she had to get over the wall, to get as far away from her home as possible.

No matter what, she had to keep away from her son!

The only thought in Inna's mind was this, but suddenly she found she could not move.

A man's voice emerged from the depths of her heart.

[Heh heh, your willpower is even weaker. It's your turn to change...]

Karl.

He sensed it.

In the Spirit Realm, he heard the prayer.

Hope, salvation...

It was a prayer belonging to the Daybreaker, coming from Fein City in East Coast Province. Although faith was scarce and the light dim, Karl still extended his hand.

Display a miracle!

Suddenly, everything around them froze in place.

Whether it was Colin struggling and praying, engulfed in white flames, or Inna trying desperately to flee; or even other people in the villa, including "Mr. Brandy" and the followers of the Words of Tranquility hiding in nearby shadows.

At that moment, everyone stood still, no longer able to move.

It was as if a multitude of whispers rose, unnoticed by all in their suspended state, as darkness filled with despair engulfed everything, and all lost their color.

The black fog enveloped the bodies of Colin and Inna, and the next moment, they both vanished.

Both were transported to the Fischer family's basement, where Lilian was present.

She saw the black mist, so instead of being surprised, she immediately began to heal Colin. The severely wounded man clung to life.

He gradually regained consciousness, tremblingly said, "Thank you, great Lord of the Lost! It is You who saved my life!"

Even Inna took a deep breath, knelt on the ground, and prayed and repented to the Lord of the Lost, filled with gratitude while pleading for the great Lord to ensure her son was safe.

"Please, great One, you must protect him..."

Karl clearly felt that their lights were much brighter than before.

Indeed, he needed to show his power more to maintain the faith in people's hearts.

He understood this principle: some people need multiple confirmations before they can fully believe without a doubt.

Meanwhile, in Inna's garden in Fein City.

The black mists finally dispersed.

Mr. Brandy's frantic voice burst from the shadows around him!

"What's happening!"

"What just happened!"

The rest of the followers of the Words of Tranquility were confused and at a loss, while Mr. Brandy felt deep fear inside.

Could the source of that terrifying aura just now be the prophesied Lord of the Lost?

Lord of the Lost!

Mr. Brandy's face twisted up, his body shaking uncontrollably, completely losing his poise for a time.

Could His power actually extend directly into the real world?
