Why?
Why had the Pearl Flower been dismantled and placed on that child's wrist?
Also, wasn't this jade ornament always in the old man's safe? Why did it suddenly appear on that child's wrist?
The man driving, his eyes bloodshot, stared ahead as though he was approaching the darkest night, with a massive aura of menace and chilling cold that made one shiver even with just a glance.
Twenty minutes later, Blue Mountain Villa—
New Year's Eve at Blue Mountain Villa was always a lively event each year, maybe not grand but always with a good atmosphere.
But this year, due to an unexpected turn of events on the twenty-eighth, the preparations for a livelier celebration than usual had resulted in a particularly quiet and dark evening.
Even quieter than usual!
The festive lanterns were off, the well-decorated hall stood in darkness, and there was no question of entertaining friends and relatives.
Ou Mucen drove straight into the Villa amidst this atmosphere!
