When Duke Reeves made these remarks, Lia simply smiled faintly, a smile that revealed profound understanding and tolerance.

Lia's expression was completely undisguised, or rather, she didn't need to hide it from Duke Reeves at all.

"Since you're here today, it means you already know."

Duke Reeves picked up his teacup and said casually:

"Sure enough, he's back."

That's right, Reeve came for Victor.

Unlike the others, Reve knew about the Hellfire Armor.

He even told Leah the legendary stories of those hellish heroes.

At that time, Reeve was also looking forward to Erica's return.

So he suggested a plan to Lia: to find a way to send the armor to hell.

As expected, Victor eventually obtained the armor.

According to Erica's account, Revere knew that Victor had saved her while wearing this armor.

This shows that even if Viktor wears armor, it will not affect his strength.

Viktor's close-combat skills were also demonstrated during his fight with Gwen.

His magical skills were just as excellent.

Therefore, when that armor appeared in the capital, it sparked a sensational battle.

Reeve immediately recognized Viktor's identity.

Later, by order of Her Majesty the Queen, he was able to leave the capital and come to Braxton.

Seeing that Lia looked relaxed and had a smile on her face, Levi was certain that Victor had left the capital.

He successfully returned to Braxton.

“I came here not just to confirm whether Viktor has returned.”

Reeve said frankly.

Hearing this, Lia raised an eyebrow, seemingly having already guessed Duke Reeves's purpose.

Sure enough, Levi continued:

"Miss Liya, as you know, your brother is in the capital..."

"Stop."

Lia smiled calmly, a meaningful smile playing on her lips, interrupting him.

"He is not my brother."

When Levi heard this, he was slightly taken aback.

What does this mean?

He had no idea about the complicated relationships within the Clevner family.

"I am the only one of the Clevina bloodline."

Levi felt he understood something, but not quite.

Is this a power grab? Does Lia not want Victor, who has returned, to become the head of the family again?

But this doesn't seem to make any sense.

Because in his memory, even ten years ago, Victor was only a nominal head of the family.

The daily affairs of the family territory, business operation decisions, and even the transfer of shops in the capital.

All matters, big and small, in the Clevina household were determined and managed by Leah.

What did Naliya mean by that?

Before the confusion that had clouded his thoughts had dissipated, Leah spoke again, interrupting his reverie:

"Excuse me, I interrupted you. Please continue."

"Ahem, okay."

Reeves cleared his throat, a little embarrassed, and continued:

"As you know, this is what Victor did in the capital."

"He caused such a ruckus in the capital that even my shop was affected."

These words allowed Lia to fully imagine the current situation facing the capital.

The economy stagnated, residents stayed at home, and vehicles did not circulate.

The city stagnated, becoming a lifeless and silent city.

The capital is now in a state of panic. Forget about the economy, residents can't even guarantee their own safety, and everyone is living in fear.

Both emotionally and rationally, Wang must get out of this state as soon as possible.

"Currently, many nobles and residents believe that this is a case of believers infiltrating the capital as refugees."

"Her Majesty the Queen wishes me to go to the Demon Tower and negotiate with the Tower Master. Perhaps we can find a way to distinguish believers."

At this point, Levi gave a wry smile.

After all, he knew the truth of the matter; it was all Viktor's own doing.

However, this truth is naturally something that cannot be spoken aloud.

Perhaps even His Majesty has discovered that Victor has left the capital.

But even if the royal family were to personally explain, it wouldn't make a difference.

To restore the capital to normalcy, compelling evidence must be presented to convince the residents.

The Empress said she wanted Levi to ask the Tower Master of the Magic Tower for help, but in reality, she wanted Levi to find a way to resolve the matter.

As long as the concerns of the residents of the capital can be dispelled, it doesn't matter whether or not the Tower Master of the Demon Tower is found.

"So, you want to ask Viktor for a favor?"

There was no one else around, and Leon had already sealed off the main entrance to the hall, preventing the other servants from entering.

Therefore, Lia can freely reveal things about Victor.

Reeve nodded.

"I did have that plan, otherwise I wouldn't have come."

Lia pondered for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons of the matter.

Just as she was thinking, Levi spoke up;

"I won't let you help me for nothing, that's how it is."

“I heard that the teaching assistant who had been working for Viktor for ten years disappeared.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Liya was taken aback.

My mood started to sour.

After all, that incident was very upsetting for Leah as well.

She was Viktor's subordinate, yet Lia failed to take good care of her and even lost the poor child.

Over the course of ten years, Lia sent people to search for her.

But during those ten years, even she herself lived in a daze.

In the end, there was still no news about Henney.

Since she couldn't find the other person, Lia simply stopped thinking about it.

Seeing Leah's reaction, Levi smiled, then said explicitly:

"I do have a clue, though I don't know if it's her."

"But if Viktor agrees to help, I can tell you."
