Upon seeing the scene, Daphne was so terrified that she screamed, “No!”

It was a poisonous worm.

She did not expect the young man to know that. After all, he had been away from Elysium for five years. How does

he know how to raise the worms?

Even people from Elysium did not necessarily possess that talent. Other than the high priests themselves, not many

people could take care of those worms and keep them alive.

“D-Don't touch them. I will wake her up now.”

Daphne finally admitted defeat.

Afterward, she took out a bell and shook it in front of Vivian, who still had her eyes shut.

The next instant, Kurt saw her lush eyelashes flickering.

“Vivi? Are you okay?”

“Kurt... A-Am I finally back?”

Vivian opened her eyes, and when they landed on the youth standing before her, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Kurt immediately held her ice-cold hands and pulled her trembling body in for a hug.

“You're back. Are you feeling all right?”

“I'm fine.”

Vivian did not feel like talking at that moment. She buried her ashen face in his warm chest and listened to his

heartbeat, which seemed to calm her down.

Earlier on, in her dreams, she had been frightened.

When Kurt saw that, he tightened his embrace.

Daphne said, “S-Since I have already woken her up, can you release that poisonous worm now?”

Seeing that Vivian had become conscious, that woman started to make her demands, albeit fearfully. She wanted

them to release the worm that was controlling her.

However, Kurt gave a devilish smile.

“Release it? You are such a sinister person. Who's to say there won't be another incident like this?”

“No, there won't be. I promise you. It won't happen again,” the woman swore, agitated.

The way Kurt was looking at her sent a chill down her spine. Gradually, he released the red string in his hand,

causing Daphne to let out a relieved sigh.

Just when she thought she had fooled him, something flew in front of her all of a sudden.

“Ah!”

A scream filled the entire place.

Her son, who was next to her, was covering his eyes.

Seeing that, Daphne became furious and questioned him, “What did you do? What went into my son's eyes?”

The young man answered indifferently, “Nothing. Just an insect egg. Aren't you an expert in this area? Carmine

Archelaus reproduces very quickly. The moment it appears, it will start to lay eggs.”

“You!”

She was so enraged that she trembled all over.

Carmine Archelaus was a top-notch worm that was cultivated and bred by the high priests. It possessed a bright red

color.

Once it entered a body, it would take control over the host in no time at all.

That was why they gave the bug its name, Carmine Archelaus.

Daphne never expected him to learn about the worms. Where did he learn it from? Back when he was “executed,”

he was only ten years of age!

Despite being mad, Daphne dared not move an inch at all.

She knew very well that once the worm had entered her son's eyes, his life was being controlled by that bastard.

“What exactly do you want?”

“Nothing much. I just want you to behave yourself. Let me tell you something. From now till the time I rescue my

mom and sister, you better behave yourself. If you try to do any funny businesses, I will kill your son first and deal

with you later!”

Even though he seemed young and inexperienced, the hostility and bloodthirsty look in his eyes belied his youth the

moment he revealed his true intention.

Because of that, Daphne trembled.

All of a sudden, he reminded her of someone else.

Back then, there was someone as young as him who had wiped out all of them in a raging tide.

In the end, she decided to do as she was told.

As for Vivian, two hours after alighting from the train, she grabbed Kurt's hand and started to recount her dream.

“After she hypnotized me, she asked if we have brought others with us. I nearly divulged the way we use to contact

Matt and Ian.”

As she was sharing what had happened, her face was drained of color.

The moment Kurt heard that, his expression changed.

“Then, did you tell her?”

“Definitely not. Toward the end of my dream, I phoned you, Daddy, and Mommy too. What do you think? Am I

smart?”

Now that she was back to her usual self, a hint of mischief appeared in her dark, clear eyes.

In an instant, Kurt felt relieved.

Looking at her smug face, he smiled an approving smile despite his reserved self.

“Yes, you're brilliant.”

“Hehe!”

After being praised, Vivian became even happier.
