Upon hearing this, Ironheart Steer’s eyes lit up.
“Abbot Ethan, do you have any plans for dealing with Chris?”
Ethan Stone stroked his beard, “Chris is powerful, and it won’t be easy to deal with him! However, you just mentioned that Cinder Society’s Captain Seraphina is also in Babylon. Seraphina is Archer Wintersong’s daughter, and Chris is Archer Wintersong’s disciple. If something happens to Seraphina, do you think Chris will just ignore it?”
“Of course not. If Chris disregards Seraphina’s safety, how could he explain himself to his master Archer Wintersong? Abbot Ethan, are you suggesting we target Seraphina?”
“Exactly! This time I have brought practitioners from Whisperwind Ridge. Once we capture Seraphina, we can use her to force Chris into submission, then kill him in one fell swoop!”
As he spoke, Ethan Stone’s eyes revealed a glint of icy coldness.
His arm had been severed by Chris, fueling his desire to tear Chris into pieces.
Yet, with Chris’s formidable strength and the three thousand Guards of Death by his side, killing him was no easy task.
But targeting Seraphina would be much easier.
Seraphina was merely accompanied by a few dozen Cinder Society members, hardly a threat.
Ironheart Steer responded enthusiastically, “Abbot Ethan, that’s an excellent plan. I’ll take action immediately!”
…
In the Kingdom of Babylon, within a desert.
Seraphina was running swiftly.
At that moment, Seraphina was in a dire state, her body bearing multiple injuries.
Originally, she had planned to lead the Cinder Society members back to their country.
Unexpectedly, they were ambushed by Ironheart Steer and others en route.
The entire Cinder Society was decimated, leaving only her to escape.
Despite her escape, Ironheart Steer and his followers relentlessly pursued her.
“What should I do? Am I going to die here?”
Seraphina clenched her teeth, her face showing unwillingness.
The deaths of dozens of Cinder Society members at the hands of Ironheart Steer filled her with immense rage.
Suddenly.
Several dark figures blocked her path.
Dark Sin looked at Seraphina with a sneer, “Seraphina, where do you think you’re escaping to?”
“Dark Sin, as the captain of the Cinder Society, you dare to slaughter our members. If Master William finds out, none of you will have a place to be buried!”
Seraphina yelled hysterically, biting her teeth.
She hadn’t expected Dark Sin and his people to be so bold as to kill members of their own Cinder Society.
After all, the Cinder Society was directly under the jurisdiction of Master William.
Their actions showed complete disregard for Master William!
“Master William? Hahaha!”
Suddenly, Dark Sin burst into laughter, “Once we capture you and then kill Chris, the prince can ascend to the throne. By then, what will today’s Master William amount to? Nothing but a dethroned emperor!”
“You…”
Seraphina bit her teeth, unable to utter another word.
She hadn’t expected Daniel Williams’ ambition to become so urgent.
“Enough talk, attack!”
Without another word, Dark Sin gestured with his hand.
In an instant, dozens of Hall of Valerian practitioners charged towards Seraphina.
“Hmph!”
Seraphina snorted coldly, engaging in fierce combat with the Hall of Valerian practitioners.
As time passed, Seraphina, alone and severely wounded, found herself increasingly at a disadvantage.
Facing the onslaught of dozens of Hall of Valerian practitioners, she gradually became overwhelmed.
Seraphina knew that this time, her chances were slim.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
She fought like a cornered beast, her attacks fiercely aggressive.
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
…
One by one, the practitioners of the Hall of Valerian fell by Seraphina’s hand.
“Court death!”
Seeing Seraphina kill more than a dozen Hall of Valerian practitioners, Dark Sin’s expression turned cold.
He roared angrily and charged at Seraphina.
Bang!
A loud noise echoed as Seraphina was sent flying backward.
At the same time, behind her was a cliff hundreds of meters high.
Dark Sin sneered triumphantly, “Seraphina, where can you run to now? I advise you to come back with me obediently, otherwise, you’re on a path to death!”
“Dream on if you think you can catch me!”
Seraphina snorted coldly, then turned and resolutely jumped off the cliff.
“Damn it!”
Dark Sin hadn’t expected Seraphina to be so resolute and fierce.
“Send the order, go down and search immediately! I want her alive or her body!”
“Yes!”
At that command, the remaining practitioners of the Hall of Valerian began to descend the cliff to search for Seraphina.
Meanwhile.
Chris had led Tiger and others back to the East Coast.
From the time Chris and Esther went to Gambling City until today’s return, they had been away from the East Coast for about a month.
Upon seeing Chris and Esther return, Juliette immediately burst into tears.
“Chris, Esther, I thought I’d never see you again.”
“Juliette, don’t cry, we’re back now, aren’t we? If you keep crying, I’ll start crying too, wuwuwu…”
Esther and Juliette hugged each other and wept bitterly.
Seeing this, Chris was speechless.
After the crying had subsided, Esther inquired about the company’s situation.
Though Esther had been away for a month.
During this month, Juliette had managed the Chester Group impeccably.
Now, Juliette’s capabilities had greatly improved; even without Esther in East Coast, there were no issues.
In the days that followed, Esther also emerged from the shadows of the pirates and started working officially at Chester Group.
That day.
Chris was driving Esther and Juliette home from work.
“What’s going on here? Why is there someone here?”
Suddenly, Juliette screamed.
Chris and Esther walked over to see.
In the living room of the villa lay a woman covered in blood.
“Seraphina? How did she end up like this?”
Upon seeing Seraphina, Chris’s face was filled with surprise.
After Chris and Seraphina had parted in the Kingdom of Babylon, hadn’t Seraphina already returned with the members of the Cinder Society? How had she ended up in this condition?
Seeing her like this, it seemed Seraphina was seriously injured.
“Dear, what should we do now?”
Esther, looking pale, asked as she gazed at the blood-covered Seraphina.
Chris said, “Let’s get her to a room!”
After they moved Seraphina to a room, Chris performed a thorough examination.
Fortunately, although Seraphina was gravely injured, her life was not in danger.
But seeing Seraphina in this condition, Chris was filled with rage.
After all, Seraphina was his master’s daughter.
Now that she was injured like this, how could he face his master?
