Yes, despite the current situation, neither Aelinor nor Alfred believed that Theron would lose so easily.

As someone both of them knew for years, they knew he wasn't one to die just like that.

However, even then, they couldn't be one hundred per cent sure he was alive.

Now, looking at the angry Damien, neither of them knew what to say.

The kid in front of them had just fought a life-threatening battle, his life was almost lost, and his friends nearly died in front of him.

How dare they say his parents were alive without any proof?

For a time, silence filled the room as neither Alfred nor Aelinor knew what to say.

"Young master Damien, please, you must understand that the patriarch is not a man without a plan"

"Although he laughs a lot and is called the world's strongest man, when it comes to serious things, he actually overthinks things the most"

"Just look at the fact that he sent you out before this and sent him to follow you, even the fact that he ordered me not to act until now probably had its own meaning,, said Alfred

And Aelinor, hearing this, knew it was her time to chip in.

"Indeed, although I don't want to admit it, as strong as Theron was, he also did have a brain"

"And based on the current situation, I can probably tell why he told you not to act"

Waving her hands slightly, two vines suddenly stretched into the room, carrying a poster each in their grasp.

"Loyal Butler and traitor to mankind, Butler Alfred"

"Danger level: catastrophic, predicted seventh level strength"

"Bounty of ten million gold"

Reading its contents, she turned to the other paper

"Empire announcement, along with the dragon empire, all other empires have named the Voss family members traitors of mankind!"

"Any information regarding them will be rewarded with one thousand gold"

"Any member brought dead or alive will be rewarded with one million gold, redeemable in all human empires"

Hearing this, the faces of everyone in the room instantly froze.

"One million gold! Not to talk about the ten million gold rewarded for Alfred, one million gold is something that even most seventh order won't make in their lifetime."

"If anything, with such an amount, it won't be surprising if even dragons become greedy and start to act!"

His facial expression gloomy, Damien realised that they were in serious trouble.

If the news leaked that the current heir of the Voss family was alive and in the elf empire, all of them, including the elves, could end up being destroyed.

"Fortunately, there's only one person at the moment who knows that we're here and our true identities"

"Garrick!'

Recalling the strange warning his guts gave him regarding him, Damien turned toward Aelinor.

Perhaps as partners, she might know more about it.

Maybe she could even tell him if his worries were warranted or false.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate.

"Alright, Aunt Aelinor, Alfred, sulking isn't going to change anything. In fact, I think Isabelle, Leona and I should leave as soon as possible"

"As if that bounty you read is real, then associating with us could lead to your total annihilation"

Sighing unwillingly, he turned to look at Lyra, who was still lost in thought.

As an elf, as much as he valued her future potential, staying with Aelinor might be much safer.

So, not giving her a chance to object, he continued to speak.

"However, Aunt, before we do go, I want to ask you something.

Do you know anything about Garrick? He was the one who let us know that the elf empire might already be under attack.

"he also stated that someone was trying to hunt down all of you who were at the same party"

" If that's true, have you encountered anything similar? And do you think that group could also be part of the reason for Dad's loss?"

Voicing his doubts, Damien expressed his concerns.

However, much to his surprise, as soon as she heard the name Garrick, the atmosphere in the room instantly changed

*Boom!*

Instantly, the floorboards creaked, and the atmosphere became suffocating.

The four Damien, Isabelle, Lyra and Leona felt like a huge mountain was pressed against their shoulders as they had trouble breathing, much less standing

Especially Damien, who was the only one still critically injured, as under the sudden pressure, he coughed out a clot of blood

*Cough* *Cough*

Inwardly, his barely healed organs had begun to rupture, starting a new round of internal bleeding, and his vision became blurry.

Luckily for them, before any lasting damage occurred, Alfred quickly acted

"Shadow hound!"

Condensing his shadow mana into a giant hound, it pounced on Aelinor, directly attracting her attention.

"Snap out of it, Miss Aelinor. If you continue like this, you'll kill the young master and the others"

Launching another attack, Alfred, who saw that the elf queen in front of him had lost her senses, began to fight back

Unfortunately, at this moment, she could not hear any words

Lost in rage, only a few incoherent sentences emerged from her mouth

"Garrick! Garrick! Garrcik!"

"How dare you come here!'

" How dare you betray us?"

"How dare you!"

"How dare you!"

"How dare you!"

As if possessed by a demon, Aelinor began to lose control, her mana spiked, and the destruction continued to spread.

And even though they were both seventh orders, Alfred was clearly outmatched.

Unlike he who was at seventh order because that was his limit, Aelinor was seventh order because her abilities were limited.

In terms of combat sense, skill, precision, and coordination, she had long since transcended seventh order, making her invincible in the same realm.

A fact that made the current scenario extremely dangerous.

If something wasn't done, and her temper was not reigned in, everyone's life could end up being lost here today.

Seeing this, Damien, who experienced another round of powerlessness, silently clenched his fists as he struggled to stay awake under the pressure.

Power!

He silently swore that as long as he survived this elf forest, he would do anything and everything to gain power.

No more feeling of weakness.

No more!
