Chapter 313: Witch and Demon

"So, the battle just now took place at Villa Mariana, and the Fenrir wolf attacked the heir of the Van Peter family? And there's still no movement at Unicorn Apartment, no suspicious people approaching?"

At the same time, in the chairman's office of the Wieldenstan Group, two distinguished white-haired men looked at each other in bewilderment.

Michel Medici first stroked his chin and chuckled: "It seems I misjudged the importance of my Michel Group and my daughter Angel in their eyes."

"Misjudged? Yet the Medici family's greed for money is well known, including you, Michel Medici."

Consigli also placed the 'queen' in his hand on the chessboard in front of him. Earlier, to pass the time, they had played chess. But after waiting for over an hour, there was still no movement over there.

And now, this chess game had become dull and uninteresting.

"Let's stop here for today. I think something must have happened during this time. We'll need to verify what exactly the situation is."

"I was just thinking the same!"

Michel Medici stood up: "Then could Lord Consigli arrange a place for me to stay? I'll be in Atlanta for the next five or six days, but I guess my daughter might not welcome me, so I'll have to impose on you."

Consigli's gaze narrowed slightly, then he replied with a smile: "No need to be so polite, Michel. The Wieldenstan family will give you, our honored guest, the best hospitality."

In the distance, Angela snorted coldly and walked out of the office first. She really didn't want her father to stay with her at the Unicorn Apartment residence.

If possible, she didn't even want Li Mochen to meet Michel anytime soon. She couldn't be sure if her father was plotting some other bad idea related to A-Mo.

At the same time, a look of confusion flashed in Angela's eyes.

Did nothing really happen at Unicorn Apartment? Or did A-Mo already have the power to deal with the Medici family?

...

"Did you remember the feeling just now? Hazel?"

After Eliza left, Li Mochen asked Hazel: "The dual-element harmonization, I think you should have gained something, right?"

"I remember!"

Hazel nodded heavily. She knew Li Mochen was asking about the method of using the 'Ice Heart Overlord Art' and the Silent Demon Dragon bloodline to balance the other element, the 'Disaster Flame Dragon Force', within her body.

That indeed broadened her horizons and made Hazel understand many principles. The knowledge Li Mochen taught daily was naturally different from the practical teaching in combat.

But actually, beyond that, she had memorized even more—

"I feel like in about five or six days, my 'Ice Heart Overlord Art' can break through to the fifth level. EMMM~ I think you should use my body more often, A-Mo. I don't mind."

"Use more?"

Li Mochen was amused: "Do you think this method can be used frequently? It has great consequences, both for you and for me. This is not a good thing. Such means can only be used when there's no other choice."

This might affect the synchronization and coordination between Hazel's soul and her body. As for him, the situation that occurred when he first returned to his original form was one of the consequences.

"Is that so?"

Hazel felt quite disappointed: "What a pity. If it could happen a few more times, then perhaps in just a month or two, I could control these calamity flames."

At that moment, her eyes suddenly changed, revealing golden vertical pupils. This was because a sudden change had occurred in the living room, putting her on alert.

It was due to the surroundings suddenly being filled with pure magical energy. A small portion of it was absorbed from the vicinity, while nearly ninety percent of the rest was emitted from Li Mochen's seal ring.

When the concentration of this pure magical energy reached a level almost visible to the naked eye, the platinum scepter in Hazel's hand suddenly emitted a black-gray luster. Crystalline substances like 'red jade' rapidly formed before their eyes. Soon after, the floor-to-ceiling windows, sofa, dining table, television, and other items in the apartment collapsed and shattered one after another.

This was because some key materials within them had been extracted, causing these furniture and appliances to lose their original sturdiness and stability.

Seeing this, Hazel couldn't help but purse her lips. She knew that Nathan Sports Group would have to pay a hefty renovation fee again.

She also abandoned the idea of intervening. Hazel had roughly guessed what was happening.

Just ten minutes later, a crimson skeleton had been fully shaped before them. As the soul fire in its eye sockets grew, the skeleton placed a hand on its chest and bowed deeply to Li Mochen and Hazel.

"Linde Amers, greetings to you both."

"I seem to have heard your name before. In the magical history of the Old Continent, there is mention of a legendary Celtic mage also named Linde Amers. Are you the same person?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Li Mochen looked at him with a strange expression: "I'm curious, are all legendary liches as clever as you?"

The platinum scepter, as a third-grade holy artifact-level magical scepter, had excellent abilities and effects, making him reluctant to destroy it.

And the treasury located within the 'Necropolis' magic tower was an even heavier bargaining chip, dispelling part of his murderous intent.

"This should be the wisdom I had in life."

Linde Amers replied calmly: "As a captured lich, I am willing to serve you for a certain number of years in exchange for my freedom and the ownership of the Necropolis magic tower."

"If it's only that, it's far from enough."

Li Mochen stared coldly at him: "I've heard that liches have no emotions and are very cold beings, is that right?"

This time, Linde did not answer immediately but pondered for a moment. After about two seconds, he released his own soul and manifested a segment of magical text before Li Mochen.

"Undead creatures indeed lack emotions and have no human concept of good and evil, but Linde Amers before death did. He established strict rules for me to abide by human order."

What Li Mochen cared about was this one's ruthlessness and cruelty in attempting to bombard Unicorn Apartment with the 'Annihilation Cannon'.

Thus, even with numerous bargaining chips, this one had not completely dispelled his murderous intent.

But Linde's peculiar explanation made him feel relieved: "Then what is your relationship with the mastermind?"

"His name is Richard Medici, a fourth-generation descendant of the Medici family. His teacher is Douglas Duncan, a powerful legendary mage. I once sought help from Mr. Duncan, asking him to help me forge the magic tower, which was key to my ascension to legendary status and transformation into a lich. But now, the contract has ended—"

Linde Amers replied with no fluctuation in his tone: "With my phylactery under your control, I no longer have the foundation to execute this soul contract."
