Chapter 212: A Memory



Chapter 212: A Memory

Destiny Lady raised her head, stared into the old man\'s eyes, and asked in a deep tone.

"Why are you trying to harm your own grandson?"

She felt that this old man was up to something and felt unsettled.

Meanwhile, Oswald let out a bitter laugh and shook his head.

"Don\'t look at me like I\'m his mortal enemy, lass. In truth, Charles is growing at an incredible speed and might rank up to a Blaze Sorcerer in the next few months. In a sense, he is a true genius. But as long as someone shows goodwill, he will get tricked and might be played by some women experts. Currently, he is blinded by pure revenge and can be easily manipulated by anyone. So, I thought why not I use this chance and teach him a lesson?"

"You don\'t understand the pain of losing someone, My Lord." A trace of disappointment and anger appeared on her face.

As she was about to say something, she suddenly noticed a change in the surroundings.

At that moment, she saw an illusionary screen appeared in front of her face.

No, it was an illusionary image!

In that image, she saw a handsome blonde-haired man knelt on the ground and held a silver-haired woman in his arms with a pained expression on his face.

His face, dragon crest blue gown, and hands were completely covered in blood, and even the luxurious golden crown on his head was covered in mud and blood.

The woman in his arms appeared to be the same age as Destiny Lady and had an oval face, had blue eyes, pointy ears.

She wore a red floral gown, a gem-embedded necklace, and had a delicate figure.

Upon seeing her face, Destiny Lady\'s face changed drastically.

\'Elf?\' A shock appeared on her face.

What made her eyes widen her eyes was that a spear tore through her heart region and completely pinned her to the ground.

It was a scene of tragedy!

Before Destiny Lady could utter a word, Oswald let out a deep sigh and spoke.

"She was my wife. Her name was Zera, also a moon elf. In my 30,000 years of life, she was the only person I loved and adored to the very end. But she died because of this love. I wasn\'t powerful enough to protect her. To this day, I\'m mourning in my heart. But what can I do? Her soul entered the Eternal River of Life before I could save her and all of her memories were completely erased before sent it to the cycle of reincarnation. The reason I walked out of my homeworld is mainly to see the origin of this universe, find that damned Creator, force him to find her soul and put her memories into it."

His tone was filled with unwillingness, pain, anger, and hate!

Meanwhile, Destiny Lady heaved a deep sigh and shook her head.

"Even if you are Charles\'s grandfather, you are in no position to interfere with his personal emotions." She paused for a moment and added while standing up.

"I will try my best to help him complete this mission. Whether he helps me or not, it\'s all up to him." Saying so, she tapped her left foot and disappeared from there.

Just as she disappeared from Oswald\'s sight, the corner of his lips suddenly rose.

"She took the bait." He muttered with a grin.

In truth, Charles and the Holem\'s Crown didn\'t have any plan on doing such a tricky method at all.

They only want to create a situation where both could interact for some time.

As long as the clone Charles spends some time with her, it would be more than enough.

It would be more than enough for him to get enough \'Love\' emotion and Rank-Up!

In the meantime, Charles soon returned to Nobles\' District and entered Dean Street while covering his head with a black hood.

He glanced at the surroundings warily and soon zeroed his gaze on the lone mansion house.

It was a small three-storied mansion shrouded with darkness and giant trees. Whispers could be heard from another side of the entrance gate as Charles walked past the iron gate and moved towards the compounded gate.

But he didn\'t sneak in, though. Instead, he glanced around the surrounding buildings and then towards both ends of the street road.

Although a few guards roamed in the street road here and there, the security wasn\'t too tight, making his job easier.

\'Baron Spenser… Jessie said that he had some connection with the Divine Order member.\' He muttered to himself as he placed his hand on the concrete wall and jumped to the other side.

Even though he properly controlled his strength, he still couldn\'t land without making noise and alerted the guards.

"Who is it?" A rough voice came from the right side.

\'I\'m still another consciousness after all. I still need some time to adapt to this body.\' A frown appeared on his face as he hid his body beside a tree trunk and looked up at the dark sky.

Due to the dense clouds, the surroundings appeared darker than before and gave an eerie feeling to his heart.

\'It\'s a perfect moment for the reappearance of the Crimson Ghost.\'

He didn\'t think for a moment before he raised his head and looked at the right side and saw a group of silver armored guards was moving in his direction.

\'A total of seven guards… Hmm, their strength should be only Rank-2.\' A small ball of crimson fire appeared from his forehead and soon formed into a mask-like appearance.

Simultaneously, the corner of his lips lifted upward as he recalled the memories of Charles\'s action in Chester City and formed into a playful smile.

The next instant, he took out the long sword and sprinted towards the guards.

Due to the sudden appearance of crimson light, the seven guards shocked for a moment and soon unsheathed their weapons before moving in that direction.

Just when the head guard was about to shout, an unimaginable scene appeared in front of them!

A crimson fire masked suddenly moved towards them at a fast speed!

No, it was not a mere mask but a human!

Charles\'s movement was so fast that before they could even think, he appeared in front of them like a ghost, cast [Burning Thoughts] constantly, and knocked them out one by one!

They didn\'t even stand a chance against his Extraordinary Level body strength!

Meanwhile, Charles cast one last glance at the guards, stepped on the concrete path, and started walking towards the three-storied building.

Upon arriving in front of the closed steel door, he raised his hand, used [Sleight of Mystery Hand] skill, and smoothly opened it.

Then, he walked into the dim reception hall and started walking to the second floor through the bifurcated staircase.

After that, he moved towards the left side corridor, walked past many rooms, and soon appeared in front of a lion-carved wooden door.
