“Freyja, fetch my medication,”


    Having taken a few steps, Freyja swiftly turned around, her countenance etched with concern.


    “Mr. Leon, Mrs. Thomas has been experiencing a decline in health as ofte,” Freyja informed.


    The subtext of her words urging Leon to avoid distressing udia further was apparent.


    Everyone seemed to expect Leon to consider the well-being of others, but few truly considered his


    feelings.


    “I no longer have the right to approach her. I’ve trampled on her dignity. Despite my ims to protect


    her, I nearly caused her demise. I’ve effectively forfeited any im to be with her,” Leon confessed, his


    voice Laden with guilt.


    A self-deprecatingugh escaped his Lips.


    “Does this imply…”

    udia began, her voice tinged with disbelief. Did he mean that he had resolved to relinquish Millie,


    allowing her to pursue a life with Marcus? His tone of self-mockery tugged at udia’s heartstrings.

    “I’ll be spending some time in Dgend, overseeing the project in the west of the city from a distance.”


    “Very well. You’re free to go wherever you wish. I apologize, but I can’t fulfill the desires of all three of


    you. In order to safeguard the Thomas family, I’ve taken Marcus’ side. It’s my duty. Hopefully, your stay


    in Dgend brings you some measure of sce.”


    udia desired to inquire about the progress of the project upon Leon’s return, yet her disposition had


    been utterly unsettled by their previous encounter. The fright she experienced was still vivid.


    Dgend was a dangerous locale teeming with a mix of unsavory characters. The atmosphere was


    perpetually suffused with an air of darkness and trepidation.


    For the average person, venturing into its depths often meant walking a tightrope between life and


    death. There, all manner of illicit transactions took ce, where anything could be bartered, including


    human organs. It was a veritable inferno on Earth.


    What remained unknown was that this perilous city was under Leon’s dominion, and he reigned as its


    ultimate authority.


    As Leon exited udia’s chamber, he encountered Marcus, who had also been summoned by


    udia’s request.


    The two locked eyes for a moment, then brushed past each other without uttering a word. Marcus


    proceeded to udia‘’s room.


    “Grandma, what’s the matter?” Marcus queried upon entering.


    “We’ve received word from Raven Ind that you’ve engaged the ind’s medical facility to research


    an antidote. Have you sustained an injury?” udia inquired, her concern palpable since she received


    the news.


    udia’s apprehensions had been growing, fearing that Marcus had fallen victim to poisoning.


    Despite her profound aversion to Raven Ind, a ce that had deprived her of the Love she once


    shared with her husband and relegated her to a life akin to that of a widow, udia’s worry for Marcus


    prevailed upon learning of his antidote-rted endeavors


    She desperately hoped that Marcus was not the victim of the poisoning.
