Guided by Xavier Caldwell, Layla Woods arrived at the main hall, where everyone quickly greeted them.
She was the hope for Zion Watson’s daughter’s recovery and Karlis Wallace’s hope for revenge for his grandson.
“Don’t worry, everyone. Let me check her pulse first,” Layla Woods said as she scanned the surroundings with her gaze.
There were several bags on the ground, emitting a strong smell of blood, presumably the remains of Stellan Wallace.
She had already learned about what happened at Jade Dragon Mountain through other channels.
After Xavier Caldwell explained further, she roughly understood the cause and effect.
She couldn’t understand how someone like Stellan Wallace, a Great Grandmaster and the strongest among the Adepts in his realm, could be defeated. Even if there were three of her, she still wouldn’t be able to defeat Stellan Wallace.
Lysander King’s daughter was also seriously injured.
That person was too audacious.
Even though she was powerful herself, she didn’t dare to easily provoke these two families.
“Mr. Watson, your daughter’s bones are completely shattered, and her internal organs are severely damaged. She is dying…” Layla Woods furrowed her brows.
Zion Watson’s heart tightened, his brain dizzy with pain. With a trembling voice, he asked, “Ms. Woods, are you saying that there is no hope for my daughter?”
“I will try my best,” Layla Woods said as she took out a silver needle and inserted it into nineteen major acupoints on Maisie’s body.
Half an hour later, Maisie miraculously opened her eyes. However, her eyes were lifeless, as if her soul had been lost. Only her lips were moving.
She showed no response to the calls around her.
“Master, it seems like the young miss is speaking!” Xavier Caldwell suddenly exclaimed.
Zion Watson quickly brought his ear close to Maisie’s mouth.
“Lord Valerian Nox…” Maisie’s voice was very soft and unclear due to her shattered bones and blood-filled throat.
But when she mentioned the name Lord Valerian Nox, her reaction was intense. Her whole body trembled violently.
Those three words had brought her immense shock.
To her, Flynn was just a waste. Lord Valerian Nox was the true Grim Reaper!
“Lord Valerian Nox?”
“He killed Stellan Wallace and harmed my daughter?”
“But who is he? I have never heard of such a person!”
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Those who had never been to Demon Island Prison naturally did not understand the meaning behind this title.
“Could it be Flynn?” Xavier Caldwell murmured.
After all, Maisie went with Stellan Wallace to kill him.
“Flynn?” Layla Woods shook her head. “This person has been in prison for ten years. It is already extraordinary for him to become a Grandmaster. How could he kill Stellan Wallace?”
Zion Watson also nodded slightly. “I have seen that kid before. He doesn’t possess any extraordinary characteristics. He is just an ordinary person!”
“He’s just an ignorant bragger, with no real skills at all.” Layla Woods added, “To be honest with you all, I had an encounter with Flynn today.”
“We had a conflict over something. When I displayed my power as a Grandmaster, he was directly frightened.”
“Tell me, can someone like him kill Stellan Wallace?”
At noon, Flynn smashed Takada Kazuo’s head with a slap in front of Layla Woods.
Layla Woods was infuriated and used the Eighteen Forms of the Celestial Blade. When Flynn saw the energy ball in her hand, he froze on the spot.
Wasn’t that being scared silly?
Fortunately for him, Reginald Shaw arrived in time so that Flynn didn’t have his arm broken by her!
But Layla Woods had no idea why Flynn froze. It wasn’t because he was afraid of her. It was because he didn’t know why the Eighteen Forms of the Celestial Blade ended up in Layla Woods’ hands!
“Ms. Woods is just a Great Grandmaster at the initial stage, and yet she can frighten that kid,” Xavier Caldwell said softly.
“Flynn definitely isn’t the culprit.” Zion Watson became more convinced of his thoughts.
“No matter who he is, whether it’s Lord Valerian Nox or Flynn, anyone who kills my grandson must die!” Karlis Wallace roared angrily.
“I will send someone to find Stellan Wallace’s master!”
Zion Watson trembled in fear and quickly said, “Mr. Wallace, please calm down. Actually, Stellan Wallace’s death has something to do with my daughter. If it weren’t for her instigation, Stellan Wallace wouldn’t have gone to Niarak.”
He didn’t dare to hide this matter and admitted it proactively before the Wallace family found it out.
It was a matter of great importance that needed to be clarified.
Karlis Wallace shook his head with icy coldness in his eyes. “I don’t blame Maisie for this. I blame Lord Valerian Nox for being too ruthless! Just because my grandson destroyed his Jade Dragon Mountain, he killed my grandson!”
“I will ask Stellan Wallace’s master to eradicate Jade Dragon Mountain!”
“The Wallace family won’t stop until Lord Valerian Nox is dead!”
“No! No!” Zion Watson waved his hands repeatedly with a nervous expression. “Please give the Watson family a chance to resolve this matter!”
Stellan Wallace’s master had said that he couldn’t leave his place of cultivation and should focus on his training.
But now, he had been incited by Maisie and went to Niarak privately only to be killed.
Mr. Wallace didn’t blame the Watson family, but Stellan Wallace’s master would not be so understanding.
That person was completely insane-a demon lord.
If he were to find out the whole story behind this, then not a single person involved would escape the fate of being killed by him!!
The Watson family would also be affected by his rage.
“Mr. Wallace, I have investigated thoroughly. This person isn’t as strong as you think. At most, he is just a Great Grandmaster at its peak.”
“My father-in-law is already a Lesser Sovereign. Killing him would be more than enough. There is no need to involve Stellan Wallace’s master!” Zion Watson persuaded him.
The subordinates who went to Niarak to gather information reported that there were three explosions on the mountaintop-one at the beginning and two more after an interval of ten minutes or so between each explosion.
Zion Watson speculated that the battle lasted at least ten minutes-indicating that both sides were evenly matched in strength.
Kendal Roy and others should have joined in the fight after Stellan Wallace kidnapped Genevieve Everett.
Lord Valerian Nox must have won by a narrow margin.
To vent their anger, they worked together and killed Stellan Wallace!
After analyzing everything once again, Zion Watson continued, “Moreover, Stellan Wallace’s master travels overseas frequently. It won’t be easy to contact him.”
“It will probably take more than ten days before we can find him.”
“Mr. Wallace, please leave this matter to me. I will go to Niarak with my father-in-law.”
“I’ll kill Lord Valerian Nox and anyone involved!”
He had to clean up the mess perfectly. Otherwise, once Stellan Wallace’s master found out, he would definitely come to seek retribution.
Even if he didn’t come looking for vengeance, it would lead to a feud with the Watson family, which Zion Watson wanted to avoid at all costs.
“Mr. Watson, your father-in-law probably won’t be able to leave the Watson family for the next three days…” Layla Woods explained.
Maisie Carlisle had suffered severe injuries to her meridians, bones, and internal organs. Layla Woods needed to use “Spiritweave Broth” for her treatment.
However, “Spiritweave Broth” required spiritual energy for nourishment, and only those at the Lesser Sovereign level or above could wield that kind of energy.
If they wanted Maisie to survive, her grandfather couldn’t leave for three days.
“I can only guarantee that Maisie will wake up, but she’ll never be able to speak normally or get out of bed again,” Layla Woods stated honestly.
The fire of anger ignited in Zion Watson’s eyes as he turned to Karlis Wallace and said,
“Mr. Wallace, you’ve heard it. Not only has your grandson suffered this misfortune, but my daughter has also been ruined!”
“Please give me the chance to avenge my daughter!”
Karlis Wallace’s face darkened, and he replied coldly, “Fine! I’ll leave this matter to you for now, but I want Lord Valerian Nox alive. I’ll take him to Ipholn myself.”
“I want to kill him personally and use his head to honor my grandson!”
“Three days from now, I expect news from the Watson family!”
