Chapter 2584: Chapter 2854: Inheritance
Inside the hotel room.
Three women and one man.
Julius Reed stood by the window, quietly gazing into the night that had already turned dark.
Autumn Name Mountain is a great mountain.
Extremely high.
Causing the town’s nighttime lighting to be quite dim.
Dragon Dance said nothing more, she stood silently beside Julius Reed.
On the bed, Hiddy felt the most awkward.
She wanted to leave, but didn’t know how to start speaking.
Her internal shock left Hiddy in a very bewildered state.
Who are these two people in front of me?
And what is their relationship?
What’s the connection between my master and this man?
She didn’t know, nor did she dare to ask.
Lillian Tompson slept soundly.
But in her dreams, she wasn’t very happy.
Because what she saw was none other than Pruitt Wilde.
A leader she sought to revive all her life.
There was a time Lillian Tompson felt her life’s purpose was to resurrect Pruitt Wilde.
Now, she realized she should live for herself.
"Do you feel like life has deceived you?" Pruitt Wilde spoke, sitting on a rock.
"No, I just feel like you deceived me." Lillian Tompson smiled, already at peace.
She did so much for this tribe, yet met no good end.
Nearly facing death.
Fortunately, Julius Reed arrived just in time to save her.
"Do you regret it?" Pruitt Wilde asked.
"No regrets. But in the future, I won’t do that again." Lillian Tompson remained respectful.
"Sometimes, life isn’t as it seems. Do you believe that everything in this world can be arranged beforehand?"
Pruitt Wilde stood and walked up to Lillian Tompson.
"I don’t like this world; I don’t want to live. Maybe everyone wants to survive, to continue living, but not me. I was forcefully resurrected; I shouldn’t continue to exist."
He extended his hand, gently caressing Lillian Tompson’s forehead: "My life and death aren’t important anymore. I hope no one discusses them ever again."
"Just consider me dead."
"From now on, Pruitt Wilde is dead. These are the things I left behind for you to inherit."
After speaking, a faint black light flashed between Pruitt Wilde’s fingers.
Black light flowed from Lillian Tompson’s forehead into her mind.
Instantly, Lillian Tompson felt intense pain in her head.
Followed by various techniques, alongside experiences and insights.
"Emperor, you..."
"I told you, consider me dead. You revived me with all your might, and now this is what you deserve."
Pruitt Wilde turned around and slowly left.
He raised his right hand, waving to Lillian Tompson with his back turned: "Just consider I never really came alive. Just consider I’m... truly dead."
The figure slowly disappeared.
Leaving only Lillian Tompson standing there.
A wave of dizziness hit.
Lillian Tompson suddenly opened her eyes!
"Master! You’re awake!"
Upon seeing her awake, Hiddy exclaimed.
But after shouting, she realized it was inappropriate and instinctively glanced at the two by the window.
"Awake?" Julius Reed walked to her side, bent down, placing both hands on the bed: "What did you gain?"
"Master, what is this? Illusion?" Lillian Tompson recalled carefully, discovering indeed her memory had greatly increased, even knowing Pruitt Wilde’s martial arts expertise.
It doesn’t seem like an illusion!
Illusions are based on human consciousness and cannot produce unfamiliar things.
"No, this is providence. But I can only give you once, the second will be life-threatening." Julius Reed spoke very seriously.
These words weren’t just meant for Lillian Tompson, but also for Dragon Dance.
Such good things are tempting to anyone.
They tightly grasp human nature’s weaknesses.
Whatever anyone needs, it provides.
So, anyone who gains it eventually dies of greed.
Today it’s made clear to Lillian Tompson, letting Dragon Dance know there’s a reason not to use this in the future.
"I... I saw Pruitt Wilde, he said he gave everything to me. Now thinking about it..."
Lillian Tompson rubbed her head, it hurt.
But indeed, she gained many new things.
She needed time to adapt, to digest.
"Everything now seems real. I fully received it and completely understood." She looked at Julius Reed, eyes asking: "What’s going on?"
"A magical thing, you’ll find out in the future." Julius Reed opened Lillian Tompson’s palm, taking back the Double Dragon Jade Pendant.
"She..." Lillian Tompson suddenly noticed a very beautiful and very charismatic woman standing by Julius Reed.
The charisma of this woman was very similar to Hiddy.
Imperial-like.
Cold and aloof.
"Dragon Dance, you’ve seen Demarco Mount." Julius Reed pointed at Dragon Dance introducing.
Back when he just left the divine realm with Dragon Dance, they came to Demarco Mount.
Lillian Tompson was there too.
"She’s Dragon Dance?" Lillian Tompson was a bit surprised.
She’d met Dragon Dance but only briefly.
Seems this woman became even more beautiful.
And having shed the phoenix robe for white jeans, with short hair, she exudes a CEO-like vibe.
Indeed, a beautiful woman is always stunning, whether in ancient or modern attire.
"Hello." Lillian Tompson extended her hand very friendly.
Dragon Dance didn’t want to shake hands with Lillian Tompson, but by Julius Reed’s side, she courteously went over and shook her hand.
"I’ll take care of him tonight." Dragon Dance said frankly: "I know you want to say you are more accustomed, but this time, you can’t. You can stay in the adjacent room."
"I don’t mean maids should have maid awareness because I can see he might actually like you a bit. But these things must be faced, just like when I’m with Nelson, I still have to be considerate. If you manage to enter his heart, I won’t drive you away, but not now."
Dragon Dance was very blunt.
Hiddy wanted to argue a bit but didn’t dare to speak.
"I understand. Call me if you need anything." Lillian Tompson smiled, getting off the bed, "Thank you."
"Not necessary." Dragon Dance nodded, "We’re all women."
"Still, thank you." Lillian Tompson took Hiddy and left the room.
"The queen helping others speak." Julius Reed looked at Dragon Dance feeling somewhat unfamiliar.
"Aren’t you pushing me to make a choice? As long as I don’t acknowledge her, she’s a maid, has to act like a servant. Dragon Dance, you are cunning." He shook his head.
"Men’s infidelity can also be troubling. You have so many women, don’t mind having one more." Dragon Dance, seemingly enjoying the drama, stood by the window laughing.
"Sleep, tomorrow head to Nine Provinces Tomb." Julius Reed shook his head, lying down on the bed.
But he didn’t notice, due to the topic surrounding Lillian Tompson earlier, his palms sweat.
The Double Dragon Jade Pendant was still in his hand.
