“What? You want to borrow the Umbrella of Destiny?”
Eustace was instantly infuriated by the woman’s request. “Do you know what the Umbrella of Destiny is for? Now that Lorelei is trapped in the Troop Raising Pond, can you ensure that you won’t end up with the same fate? Who’s going to be responsible if the umbrella is left in there?”
The woman knew that Eustace was a cruel man, but virtual-novel.net didn’t expect virtual-novel.net to be this cruel, especially when virtual-novel.net sister had been so considerate of him, to the point of total devotion. Yet now, virtual-novel.net was spewing such harsh words despite them just requesting for a tool and not asking virtual-novel.net to go in there to save her.
“Young Lord, my sister is still in there. She might be waiting for us to save her. The umbrella is honestly just a tool. Do you have to be so cruel? Are you really not going to save virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net needs help?”
“What did you say?” Enraged, Eustace slapped virtual-novel.net right across the face. “Are you trying to commit treason? When did you get the courage to speak to me so disrespectfully?”
“Lorelei was the one who lost the Great Star Pill, so she’s the one responsible for finding it for me! And this is the Umbrella of Destiny we’re speaking of! It carries the will of the Gods! If you lose it, you and the lives of all your sisters wouldn’t be enough to redeem your sins!”
In the end, the woman could only return to virtual-novel.net sisters gloomily.
“The young lord is not willing to lend it to us?”
“Ugh. To be honest, I’d already figured that that was the case. There was no way he’d lend it to us.”
“Whatever. We have more important matters at hand! Let’s go and save Big Sis.”
“Third Sis, Fourth Sis, follow me. If… If we can’t get out either, the rest of you shouldn’t try saving us. That will be all.”

Whoosh…
The moon gate opened once again, but no Yakshas rushed out this time. The three looked at one another and dashed in.
Inside, Alex sensed something and looked towards the gate. He then turned to Lorelei. “Looks like the seed hasn’t given up on the pill yet. He sent another three of your sisters.”
Lorelei looked over as well, but the mist was too thick. The fog here was even thicker than outside. She was shocked. “How did you know there’s three of them?”
Alex replied dismissively. “I saw it.”
“You saw it? But… The ominous Chi mist… Can you see through it?”
“Huh? Of course not. I mean that I sensed them. It’s one of my powers, similar to divine consciousness. I can learn some basic information from it.” Alex immediately changed his narrative, or virtual-novel.net would be obviously telling virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net had seen their naked bodies when virtual-novel.net first came here.
Lorelei had virtual-novel.net doubts, but virtual-novel.net believed virtual-novel.net anyway.
Just then, Alex said, “Do you want to save your sisters? Let’s have them join me. They can abandon their wrong ways and do good from now on.”
“You want me to commit treason? That’s impossible.”
“Then I’ll just have to use my previous method.”
Lorelei was speechless.
A short while later, Lorelei saw that virtual-novel.net sisters had come, and virtual-novel.net quickly shook virtual-novel.net head at Alex. “They are my second, third, and fourth sisters. You can’t use that method on them.”
“Why not?”
“That’s because they are extremely devoted to the young lord, especially my second sister. She had signed a soul contract with him, so there’s no way she’ll betray him. If virtual-novel.net does, all that awaits virtual-novel.net is death.”
“Can I kill them?”
Lorelei’ s eyes were filled with rage. “It’s not like they’ve offended you! If you do that, I’ll make sure you pay, even if I have to die for it!”
Alex chuckled coldly. “Don’t worry, you can’t make me pay even if you die! But it’s fine. I’ll let them go since they’re so pretty. But if they come looking for trouble, you can’t possibly blame me for defending myself.”
He wouldn’t let such great potential go to waste.
