After returning to his room, Greedy Blood Eye was about to go back to the storage scroll to recuperate when he was stopped by Soraya, who transmitted her voice to him: "The three of us will be under surveillance from today onwards. You will have to stay outside for a while."

After hearing this, Greedy Blood Eye realized that he would have to face Verridern, who had almost destroyed his soul, for a short time. He felt that he had no will to live. He lowered his head and resignedly used his power to cover the entire room to prevent their conversation from being overheard.

"You should go and get some rest. Tomorrow probably won't be peaceful," Verridern urged Soraya.

Solaya glanced at her one-bedroom apartment and then at the two people in front of her. "I'll sleep in the room. One of you can sleep on the sofa, and the other can sleep on the floor." After saying that, she took the little flower off Verridern's head, held it in her hand, and prepared to go back to her room. The little pink flower felt Solaya's presence and happily rubbed against her hand.

Sensing Tarasi's movements, Solaya's gaze softened. After stepping into the room, she turned back to look at Verridern: "Why didn't you bring the child with you? Just project his consciousness into the flowers."

“The beast tide is coming soon, and the two of us can’t take care of him. He’s safest with my main body. If we encounter danger here, my consciousness can instantly return to my main body with his consciousness. What’s wrong? Missing the child?” Verridern stopped making the bed sheets on the ground and looked at Solaya.

Greedy Blood Eyes rolled his eyes as he watched the two men stare at each other. "Can you two please be mindful that I'm still here? Don't act like this in front of me, okay?"

Solaya stared speechlessly at the two people in the living room and slammed the door shut.

Vierridern laughed when he saw the enraged Soraya. He happily decided to let Greedy Blood Eye sleep on the ground while he comfortably occupied the sofa. Greedy was very dissatisfied, but the shadow left by Vierridern was too deep. Even knowing that Vierridern had no power now, he dared not resist.

After being awakened by the sunlight streaming through the gaps in the curtains, Sorea first smelled a familiar aroma. When she pushed open the door, she saw Blood Eyes, who was staring longingly at the food in front of the table.

"You're finally awake." Greed looked at Solaya with resentful eyes. "I was almost dying from the fragrance. But that guy Verridern said he wouldn't give me anything to eat until you got up."

Sorea knew that this was just Greed putting on an act to lower her guard, so she ignored His words and went to the washroom to wash up.

After finishing breakfast, while Solaya was greedily admiring the things she had photographed the night before, she sent a telepathic message to Verridern: "That guy is an evil god. He killed so many people before, is it okay to leave him alive?"

Verridon shook his head: "What He did wasn't necessarily what you saw. Do you know why we let Him live even though we went to him?"

"He has not actually been an evil god for long, less than a few decades. The reason His body is that of a child is because He was a child when He was sacrificed to the previous Lord of Greed. For some reason, He went from being a sacrifice to an evil god, but it is certain that He suffered great pain before becoming an evil god."

Sorea still had some reservations: "After all, He killed many people..."

“Alas, we really shouldn’t have kept you completely under our wings.” Seeing the naive Soraya, Verridern finally understood why Soraya had broken with Him. His control over her, which he called protection, had indeed gone too far.

“Don’t just look at the surface of things. Greed was sacrificed by the nobles of Vespera in his previous life. The nobles told their workers that as long as they offered sacrifices to the former Greed, they would gain wealth. The people of the whole city chose Him who had lost his father, and then killed His mother in order to take Him away from His mother.”

Seeing Solaya's shocked and out-of-control expression, Verridern paused for a moment before continuing to transmit his voice: "The previous Lord of Greed immediately made the textile factory's business boom after receiving the sacrifice. Originally, after becoming an evil god, He lost some of His humanity, but when the workers of Vespera saw that their wages were getting lower and lower, they prepared a homeless man, Johnson, whom you met, to pray to Him, which made Him angry and kill."

Sorea was shocked to find that the events were completely different from what she knew, and her face turned pale: "So after Johnson died, everyone in Vespera gave the same story and put all the blame on him."

“Well, Johnson wasn’t a good person either. The reason he was chosen as a sacrifice was simple: he was the father of the greedy Blood Eye, and he was the one who offered Him up for money.”

After hearing Verridern's words, Sorea looked at the greedy blood-eyed man with a look of pity.

Greedy Blood Eyes sensed Sorea's gaze and looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Why do I feel like there's something slightly off about the way you're looking at me?"

Solaya coughed awkwardly and looked away.

Seeing the pity in Solaya's eyes, Verridern became even more determined to help her grow faster; "You don't need to pity Him. Although He has not been an evil god for long, He has inherited all the memories of the Lord of Greed."

As Sorea was lost in thought, a knock on the door broke the silence inside the house.

Is Lord Jian here?

"What is it?" Sorea stood up to open the door after being interrupted.

Outside the door stood a member of the Knights Guild she didn't recognize, dressed in knight's armor: "Lady Jane, our guild leader has something to discuss with you."

Kellis? What does he want with me? Solaya thought of many possibilities. She exchanged a glance with Verridern, who gave her a reassuring look. Solaya then followed the knight to Kellis's side.

At the Knights' Guild's temporary office in the Monster Forest, Sorea saw Kelly, who had her feet propped up on her desk, directing Euan and Louis to handle her official duties.

Upon seeing Sorea, Kelly immediately sat up straight: "Ms. Jane, I called you here to ask you some questions that have puzzled Olsen and me greatly."

Sorea knew exactly what Kelly and the others wanted to know. She thought to herself, "Finally, they've arrived," but said coldly, "What is it?"

Kelly stopped being mysterious and asked directly, "I want to know, what is the background of that child who can produce so many gold coins that even several great empires cannot produce? As far as I know, you were alone when you arrived here, why are there two more people now?"

After hearing what Kelly said, Yuan took a deep breath. He never expected that his older brother would ask Kelly and Olsen to monitor Jane and find out her background and purpose, and then Kelly would just ask so casually.

Sorea hadn't expected her second brother to be so direct, but she was about to speak according to the reason she had agreed upon with Verridern when Kelly interrupted her: "Ossen has already gone to ask the other two. You'd better tell the truth."

Sorea was unaware that her entire body was riddled with flaws, but she understood that no one else had any evidence: "Those gold coins were given to me by a friend of mine; she asked me to buy that whip."

"Who is that friend? What does he look like?" Kelly was so anxious to find Sorea, who had run away from home, that she didn't realize she had been led astray by Sorea's words.

Solaya saw that she had achieved her goal: "A silver-haired, blue-eyed lady who saved my life when I was being chased. I came here in her place to repay her."

"When and where was she rescued? Is she here now?" Yu'an stood up anxiously to ask. He then realized he was being too agitated and afraid Jane might think they were going to harm Sorea and wouldn't speak up, so he quickly added, "She's my sister. Do you think I look a bit like her? We're very worried about her safety."

Sorea pretended to believe Yuan's words and said, "About half a month ago, in Dragonspine Forest, she saved me and made me work for her before heading deep into Dragonspine Forest."

Kelly calculated that the time of Soraya's disappearance matched Jane's words, and that most people couldn't describe Soraya's appearance: "Okay, thank you for your cooperation, you can leave now."

Kelly had completely forgotten about asking the other two where they came from; all she remembered was that she needed to find Sorea as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Olsen returned shortly after Sorea left, and he and Kelly exchanged the information they had received.

“Ossen, she was sent by my sister. I’ve found Sorea,” Kelly said excitedly.

Orsen nodded and, after listening to Kelly's words, said, "It's similar to the information I got from Will. By the way, Will is a half-elf and half-human, so this matter must be related to that god."

"Dragon's Spine Forest, where did she go? I'll ask my father to go and ask."

This was also the best reason that Solaya and Veldrian came up with. With Veldrian as a witness, Solaya was hiding what she wanted to do now because she wanted the child to go back.

After returning to her house, Solaya noticed a significant reduction in the surveillance she was under. After exchanging glances with Veldrian, Solaya understood that things had worked out; Veldrian had already told Talmavin that Solaya had gone to her place.

Although some questions remain unresolved for others, the doubts about "Jane's" identity have been dispelled.

"How do you explain the origin of the Greedy Blood Eye?" Sorea asked.

Verdryen smiled and said, "Asking is my arrangement. Dagmore doesn't ask too many questions about things involving me."

Solaya felt a little relieved once she realized her identity was out in the open. She also knew that she had been too high-profile lately, so she and Veldrian stayed home and kept a low profile for a few days.

One night, Solaya was fast asleep when she was awakened by urgent knocking and shouting:

"Lord Jian, wake up! The beast tide is coming! Many people are injured and urgently need your help."
