Chapter: 1046

"The curse? You mean this?" Azalea smiled playfully and took out a clear glass bottle. Inside was a red centipede.

"H-how did you get it out?" The Dark Lord’s expression shifted. The curse he planted was connected to him, no one was able to break it unless the elder of the mystic arts personally intervened.

"I knew today would come, so I asked a miracle doctor to break the curse in advance. What else do you have to say?" Azalea reached out and squeezed, crushing the bottle with the centipede inside.

"Azalea, let me live, and I’ll teach you everything I know!" The Dark Lord panicked and pleaded. Due to the effects of Tranqurin, he wasn’t able to muster an ounce of internal energy and was rendered useless.

"There’s no need. Once I find the Grand Sorceress and join the Mystic Arts Order, I’ll naturally get what I want." Azalea was unfazed.

"Azalea! Even if you kill me, your parents won’t come back to life. Vengeance only breeds more vengeance. Put down your blade and seek redemption. As long as you spare me, your soul can be saved!" The Dark Lord preached, desperately trying to live. However, as soon as he finished his plea, Azalea raised her sword and swiftly severed his neck, showing no mercy.

"Ugh The Dark Lord’s voice choked. The bloody line on his neck spread rapidly, and in the next second, his head rolled off his shoulders and onto the ground with a thud. He had died with discontentment.

"Only when you die can my soul be saved." Azalea kicked the Dark Lord’s headless corpse, sending it flying several feet away. Carrying his head, she walked out of the hall, coming to a stop in the courtyard. Looking up at the sky, the chilling snowflakes fell upon her face, carrying a sense of desolation and sorrow.

"Mom, Dad… Can you see it? This bastard is dead. I personally killed him. I did it. I fulfilled my promise. I avenged both of you!" With a thud, Azalea dropped to the ground heavily. As she knelt, two lines of tears streamed slowly down her face. She had endured 15 years of humiliation. Today, she finally slew the murderer. Vengeance was hers.

As night fell deeper, the snow fell heavier.

Meanwhile, Hector and the others stood outside the Harmons’ meeting room, waiting in silence. They occasionally stole glances inside, where Michael and Dustin were engaged in a hushed conversation. Half an hour earlier, Michael had asked everyone to leave so he could speak to Dustin privately.

"Mr. Rhys, that’s the gist of what happened. I concealed my identity to hide from the enemy and protect Abigail from harm." Michael poured his heart out, finally releasing all the feelings he had bottled up.

"I never expected that Abigail’s mother would turn out to be the Grand Sorceress of the Mystic Arts Order" Dustin was shocked.

The Mystic Arts Order was known as the most formidable dark faction in existence, composed of talented individuals and high-level experts. The position of Grand Sorceress was prestigious Dustin had always been curious about the protective seal inside Abigail. With her mother’s identity as the Grand Sorceress revealed, everything now made sense.

"Though the title of Grand Sorceress sounds grand, they don’t even have the basic right to freedom. I don’t wish for Abigail to follow in her mother’s footsteps." Michael sighed.

"Mr. Robinson, I don’t understand. Why are you sharing your secrets with me?" Dustin was confused. The Mystic Arts Order’s Grand Sorceress was a prestigious position in which few had the privilege of knowing their identity.

"It used to be a secret, but it won’t stay a secret much longer." Michael shook his head.

"From the moment I attacked the Dark Lord, I had exposed my identity. The Mystic Arts Order will probably be making a move soon." The disciples of the Mystic Arts Order were spread all over the world. The Dark Lord was one of them.

"So, what’s your plan?" Dustin asked.

"I’ve been on the run for so many years. It’s time to face reality and resolve things once and for all." Michael frowned.

"Abigail is the only one I have left. I have a favor to ask of you-I hope you can take care of her for me."

"Me?" Dustin was shocked.
