As she spoke, Catherine wanted to reach out and pick up another bottle of wine.

Joelson took a deep breath and stepped forward to grab Catherine’s arm. He stared into her eyes and said seriously, “What’s going on?”

Catherine shook her head without saying a word. Her blue eyes had lost their luster, and there was a sense of despair.

Joelson let go of her somewhat dispiritedly. He looked around and asked, “Where is Benson?”

Perhaps only Benson could tell him the truth now.

Catherine’s slightly trembling voice sounded behind him.

“Dead.”

Joelson’s body trembled slightly. He turned his head to look at her in disbelief.

Benson was actually dead?!

Catherine seemed to have no intention of explaining. She suddenly stood up and rummaged through the table.

“Oh, that’s right.”

She rummaged through the table and took out a box made of dark wood. It was obviously a more precious wooden box. She handed it to Joelson.

“This is for you.”

Joelson opened the wooden box. Inside lay five pieces of “Green Truffles”. They were the materials used to concoct the dragon blood potion before he left the capital. At that time, he had asked the Lucca Chamber of Commerce to help him collect them.

Catherine picked up the wine bottle and took a big gulp. She said miserably, “The Lucca family’s last remaining money is only enough to buy these few pieces. Don’t think that it’s too little.”

Joelson fell silent. Catherine only cared about drinking.

Suddenly, a big ball of water appeared above Catherine’s head. It fell down and completely drenched her.

Joelson looked at her very seriously and said, “If you say it now, there may be hope for everything. If you don’t say it now, the Lucca family will really be finished.”

Catherine only then noticed the golden stripes on the long robe of the magician Joelson. She blinked her eyes and rubbed them with her hand as if she wanted to see more clearly.

After she counted the number of golden stripes, her eyes finally lit up bit by bit, and she regained some of her former vigor.

A tier 8 magister?!

Joelson was already a tier 8 magister!

Perhaps, there was real hope for Joelson to save the Lucca family now.

Catherine sat in front of Joelson obediently.

“Originally, everything was going smoothly. With the support of the two potion shops, the other shops of the Lucca Chamber of Commerce also opened one after another. Everything was developing in a good direction.”

“But in the second month, after you left the academy, the Fire and Ice Potions sold by the Lucca family suddenly had frequent accidents, causing many injuries. Many injured adventurers came to us in anger, and with the help of some people with evil thoughts, not many adventurers dared to come to the Lucca family to buy potions. The business of the potion shop directly fell like a precipice.”

“Then, the Magic Potion Association suddenly stopped cooperating with us. I tried to explain to them the relationship between the Lucca family and you.”

At this point, Catherine stole a glance at Joelson, and for some reason, her face was slightly red.

“But it was useless. After that, the Lucca Chamber of Commerce was completely destroyed. I sold all the shops at a low price.”

Joelson frowned and could not help but ask, “Then why did Benson die?”

Catherine said with a pale smile. “He was assassinated. Not only him, but every day, one of my guards died tragically. His head was thrown at the door of Lucca’s house. This situation lasted for two weeks. After that, all the guards of Lucca’s house ran away.”

“As you can see, other than a few of my most loyal old servants, I don’t have anyone here.”

“Why did they do that?”

Catherine shook her head and said, “I don’t know.”

A hint of shame and anger suddenly appeared on her face as she said, “Maybe they saw that Juliana and I still have some value.”

“Where is Juliana Now?” Only then did Joelson remember to ask.

Catherine looked behind Joelson.

Joelson turned his head and saw a girl in a white nightgown staring at him in a daze.

Joelson couldn’t believe that the girl was Juliana.

Compared to the shy and cute look half a year ago, Juliana’s face was pale now. Her big eyes lost color and her lips were very pale.

Juliana’s eyes trembled for a moment, then she turned around and ran.

But she was pulled back by Joelson’s magic power.

“Why are you running?”

Joelson hugged her tightly.

Juliana bit her lips and said in a low voice, “I look too ugly now.”

Hearing this, Joelson’s heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.

He suddenly felt a strange aura from Juliana’s body.

Grabbing onto Juliana’s slender wrist, he used his spiritual power to probe her, and his eyes instantly turned extremely cold.

“Seed of Darkness!”

It was the Dark Church again!

However, compared to the one on old Morgan’s body, the Seed of Darkness in Juliana’s body was much smaller.

The rate at which it eroded her vitality was also very slow as if she had been poisoned.

However, the pain was doubled.

“Juliana was cursed by them,” Catherine said angrily, her eyes filled with deep hatred and helplessness.

“They said that as long as we are willing, we can cure Juliana of her poison.”

First, they would destroy the Lucca Chamber of Commerce, then kill the people around the two sisters one by one. Finally, they would use pain and despair to slowly wear away the will of the two sisters.

It was like taming a beast.

Was this the fun of being a big shot?!

“Who are they?”

Catherine whispered, “The Shadow Society.”

“The Shadow Society, Antoine.”

Joelson whispered these two names, and his tone suddenly became extremely cold.

“Damn it!”

Joelson stood up straight, held Juliana’s hand, and said coldly, “Let’s go.”

Juliana and Catherine were stunned.

“Where are we going?”

Joelson stared at the dark night sky outside the house. His eyes were frighteningly bright.

“First, we’ll destroy the Shadow Association! Then we’ll kill Antoine!”

...

The two guards held their longswords and secretly dozed off.

On the quiet and empty street, the sound of footsteps slowly approached.

The guard instantly woke up and shouted in a low voice, “Who are you?”

Under the moonlight, three figures slowly walked over.

The guard squinted his eyes and tried to see clearly. He continued to warn, “This is Prince Antoine’s mansion. Don’t come close to it!”

He saw the blurry figure seemed to raise his hand.

A flame lit up in the dark night.

Clang!

The charred armor fell to the ground. The air was filled with the smell of charred flesh, telling of the fear of the two people before they died.

Joelson held Juliana’s hand and walked to the front of the Prince’s mansion. He raised his head slightly, and could hear the hurried footsteps from inside.

“Joelson.”

Catherine followed behind him. Her face was pale, and there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

“This is Antoine’s mansion.”

Joelson did not turn his head back. The light spots formed by water and fire gathered around him, emitting a brilliant light in the dark night.

He only said one sentence lightly.

“I know.”
