A thousand-meter-high, mysterious wizard tower stands in the void, connected to the vast starry sky.

A certain layer.

This is a demiplane that is about to collapse, and was forcibly pulled into the wizard tower by someone with supreme power.

The core of the demiplane is a black hole that devours everything.

Time, light, elemental ions, and even the dark energy in the starry sky are all being devoured by it.

And at the edge of the black hole, there was a beautiful woman wearing a wizard robe sitting cross-legged.

There are many witchcraft runes and spell circuits floating around the woman, as if she is exploring the mystery of the black hole.

At some point.

“Hmm…”

The woman opened her eyes, a shadow seemed to flash across her eyes, and then a thoughtful look appeared on her face.

"Another bloodline has died..."

"Magic Forest!"

"The Six-Ring Tower promised to protect the bloodline of the Green family, but members of the family have died one after another."

"I need an explanation."

Her voice was not loud, but it passed through the wizard tower and across the distant void and reached the ears of several great wizards.

A great wizard who was struggling to practice in the astral realm opened his eyes, sighed helplessly, and spoke slowly: "The magic forest is located in the Eastern Kingdom Continent, where the gods are..."

"All right!"

"Someone's going to pay for this!"

* * * The Walker family returned to the Dream Market. Even though they killed Vaughn in this battle, there was not much joy on their faces.

after all,

They also suffered heavy losses.

Wizards and high-level wizard apprentices with outstanding potential died one after another, and it would take decades for the entire family to recover.

"Let's all go back!"

Nina waved:

"Have a good rest and don't think about anything. We still have things to do next. The Pero family must..."

"Eliminate them all!"

Her face turned cold, she raised her hand, took out a crystal fragment, and clenched her five fingers suddenly.

The Pero family's loss of the crystal fragments meant that they no longer had the position to dominate the Dream Market.

Possessing crystal,

You can buy it at the Dream Market.

No,

They can only passively take the beating! This is also the reason why the four major families can gain a foothold in the Dream Market and covet other crystal fragments.

"yes!"

"revenge!"

“…”

Everyone shared the same hatred and retreated in order.

Cromwell did not leave, but walked closer and spoke softly: "Nina, don't be too tense. You have done a good job. The Walker family will be proud of you."

"Oh..." Nina shook her head slightly, her face filled with sadness.

"Today, many people in the family died again. Sometimes I wonder, why do vendettas have to happen?"

"Grandpa is dead, aunt, sister..."

"well!"

She lowered her head and sighed, revealing a rare helpless and weak attitude that she had never seen in front of her tribesmen.

"fine."

Cromwell said in a soothing voice:

“This too shall pass.”

"As long as there is a late-stage wizard in charge, the Walker family will be able to gain a foothold in the market. Although the situation is a little difficult for the time being, it will eventually get better."

"Yes." Nina looked up, her beautiful eyes twinkling:

"Cromwell, thank you for staying by my side. Otherwise... I don't know if I would collapse."

"Thanks!"

"Alas!" Cromwell waved his hands quickly: "Don't you understand my feelings? No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

"This will never change!"

"Cromwell!" Nina looked at him directly, her voice trembling:

"There's no need for this. I'm already very grateful that you can help me kill Vaughn."

"Next, you will have to take revenge on the Pero family and face hostility from the other two families. You should stay away from here."

"No!" Cromwell said seriously: "Nina!"

"I will always be with you."

"You..." Nina shook her body and took a deep breath before speaking:

"My father taught me that the interests of the family should always come first, and the so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality should also serve the interests of the family."

"Oh……"

She smiled bitterly, "That's what he did. He betrayed his promise for the sake of his family's interests, and he died because of it."

"I kept my promise. Linda helped me, you, Senior Haggai, and even Connie helped."

“Only trust can last.”

"Yes!" Cromwell nodded heavily with a smile on his face:

"What I admire most is your pure heart, Nina, which has not been polluted by this world."

"Um."

Nina reached out and took Cromwell's hands:

"The more I experienced, the more I understood my father's words, and gradually realized that his approach... was right."

Hmm? Cromwell was stunned.

"puff!"

Dozens of sharp vines sprang out from Nina's sleeves, like poisonous snakes, instantly piercing Cromwell's body.

The desolate, sad and weak expression on Nina's face disappeared, and became cold and solemn.

"I gave you a chance."

"but……"

"You are too greedy!"

"Nina... Nina..." Cromwell's body shook, his eyes full of fear and confusion: "Why?"

"Why?" Nina shook her head: "You should know it very well."

"Linda saved me. Why? And what did you want to do on the night of Harvey's wedding?"

"Oh……"

"This is the Dream Market, and I control a quarter of the market. What you did was very covert, but it was still exposed in the end."

"You..." Cromwell gritted his teeth and roared, but found that everything in his body was flowing away madly.

“Mercy…Mercy!”

"I gave you a chance." Nina's eyes flashed with a trace of struggle, which was then covered up by indifference: "Don't worry, I will send Linda to see you."

"puff!"

The vines suddenly exerted force, and Cromwell's body was instantly torn into countless pieces, deader than dead.

"call……"

Waving her hand to clean up the blood on the ground, the softness in Nina's heart completely disappeared.

"Father is right."

"In the past, the interests of the family had to come first. Kindness, rules, and goodness all served this purpose."

"No one is really good to you!"

She was once very grateful for Cromwell's help and scoffed at her father's words.

until……

Some secrets discovered by accident.

Not just Cromwell.

Even within the family, everyone has their own selfish desires, and only tough measures can suppress everything.

Kind?

It will only do bad things!

"Miss."

A voice came from outside the door:

"Mr. Connie wants to see you."

"oh!"

Nina raised her eyebrows, suppressed the murderous intent in her eyes, her expression softened again, and she even slowed down her voice:

"Please ask him to come in."

…………

When Karl entered the living room, he saw Nina, who looked tired and miserable, leaning on a soft chair.

“Carl.”

Nina forced a smile:

"I'm not feeling well, so I won't get up to greet you. Please sit wherever you want."

"Congratulations." Carl nodded. "Vorn is dead. His crystal fragments are in your hands. The Pero family will also be removed from the Dream Market."

"The Walker family's revenge has been achieved."

"It's not that simple." Nina shook her head and propped herself up:

"In order to kill Vaughan, we also suffered heavy losses. Even Cromwell, the helper we specially invited, was..."

"After taking revenge on the Pero family, we still have to face the other two major families. They will not let go of this opportunity."

"I believe you can handle it well." Carl said, "About the crystal fragments..."

"I plan to keep it for myself!"

"Hmm?" Nina was stunned, her expression uncertain:

"Karl, we agreed on that."

"If I fail to kill Von, you can take the crystal fragment as the reward for protecting Harvey and his wife. If I kill Von, I will use part of the Pero family's assets to exchange for the crystal fragment in your hand."

"Now……"

"You're just one person, what's the use of it? Why don't you give it back to me? I can help you in the Dream Market."

"I got into some trouble and need to stay in the Dream Market." Carl waved his hand: "Like I said at the beginning, if I need the fragments, I can keep them for myself without sharing the benefits of the Pero family."

"I didn't promise to return the crystal fragments. I just chose one of the two options."

?

You have to force me too!

Why? Why does everyone do this to me? Am I not doing good enough?

Nina's beautiful eyes narrowed, a murderous intent accumulated in her heart, but the expression on her face became increasingly weak.

“Carl.”

"Is there really no other choice?"

"No." Karl stood up, his face cold:

"I am here only as a former trading partner, to inform you of the original agreement."

"I'm not asking you to tell me what to do."

"besides……"

He glanced at the ground, his eyes flashing with a hint of coldness: "It's best to clean up carefully after killing someone. Some traces can't be wiped off so easily."

After saying that.

Step away.

He ignored Nina who was a little frustrated behind him, because he was in a bad mood too, and there was an invisible sense of urgency that made his heart beat wildly.

seem,

Something has set its sights on him!

This is not an illusion.

When exploring Gold's memory, the sudden burst of black light even ignored the rules of the divine domain fragments and enveloped him.

"There is some kind of restriction in Gold's memory. I'm afraid I have been stained with the mark of the Green family..."

"There may be revenge from the Green family next. The Dream Market cannot accommodate a second-ring wizard. Only here can we be safe."
