The Heiress' Savage Comeback
Upon arriving at the special department, Melinda was immediately interrogated. At first, she denied everything, including bribing the warlock, insisting on her innocence. However, the special department had its own methods of extracting the truth without resorting to physical punishment. With undeniable evidence from her phone records and bank transfers, Melinda had no choice but to admit her involvement. Nevertheless, she stubbornly refused to disclose who introduced her to the warlock or admit to having an affair. She didn't even request to make a phone call, fiercely protecting the person behind her. Even when faced with the prospect of going to prison, she didn't want to implicate the other party in any way. Since Simone, Zac, and others had not been harmed, and only the Gray Family brothers were affected by the bugs, Melinda couldn't receive a heavy sentence and was sentenced to two years in the special department's prison. However, for a person who had enjoyed a life of luxury for so many years and considered herself a noble lady, this was another devastating blow to Melinda. She didn't want to go to prison and wanted to continue being Mrs. Foster instead. She strongly requested to see Mr. Foster, Skyler, and Leon. The people from the special department were not harsh and contacted the three of them in front of her, but their attitudes were unanimous—it was already over, so there was no need to meet. This caused Melinda to break down once again, crying and trembling uncontrollably. She couldn't understand why things had turned out like this. Joseph and the others worked efficiently. After being detained for two days, Melinda was sent to the special prison. In a quadrangle courtyard, as the disciple recounted the incident, Lewis' face darkened. Although Melinda was just a plaything and a pawn to him, she was his woman, no matter what. Now that she had been arrested and sentenced to two years, he felt that his reputation had been tarnished, and he was provoked. He believed that this had to do with Simone. "Go personally and get rid of that warlock," he ordered, handing a piece of iron with a black glow to his disciple. "Use the death curse sealed within to do it." During their previous clash, when Simone fought against his eldest disciple, he had collected her aura. Inside the iron was the death curse imitating Simone's aura, and anyone affected by it would die quickly. That warlock was very cunning, and they needed to be fully prepared to frame Simone, which was why the aura of the curse was essential. His second disciple took the iron piece and said, "Yes, Master. But I'll need you to inform Mr. Solomon so he can distract the guards when the time comes and tamper with the surveillance. I'll pass by the entrance of the confinement room; only then can I activate the energy in the iron piece and directly deal with that warlock." With his strength, he had to be within thirty feet of the opponent to perform this sealing spell. Lewis nodded. "I will inform him. Go ahead and handle it." At night, in the corridor outside the room where the warlock was confined, the lightbulbs suddenly broke and flickered. The guards who were originally stationed outside were also somehow distracted, and the surveillance in the corridor suddenly displayed a screen full of static. Meanwhile, the warlock in the room was holding a new cell phone, watching the content displayed on it. Seeing the flickering lights outside the room and the disappearance of the guards, he felt a sense of unease. Previously, when Joseph mentioned that someone wanted to harm him, Simone had specially given him a protective amulet. He thought to himself, "Those people won't be so reckless, right? This is the special department, and with my strength, it won't be easy for those people to come in and kill me, either. Unless the person who had achieved unity of heaven and man personally took action." He stared at the cell phone intently. "Could it be that person has come?" Two minutes later, a middle-aged man appeared in the corridor. When he reached the entrance of the room, he took out a dark piece of iron before silently reciting a spell and wiping the iron piece with his hand. Soon, the iron piece was covered with talisman-like characters that looked like blood. Using all his energy, he activated these talisman spells on the iron piece one by one and passed through the room door. Startled, the warlock immediately used his strongest defensive measures, but the talisman spells instantly broke through his defenses, even shattering the protective puppet given by his master. However, the talisman spells were also dispersed by the puppet. Before he could even catch his breath, he saw the man outside the room quickly forming hand seals and making another move. He awakened the last deep red talisman spell in the iron piece and guided it into the room. Obviously, he had anticipated that the warlock would have magical artifacts to defend himself, so this was the real killer move. The warlock felt the talisman spell entering the room from outside. For the first time, he felt a sense of fear and that he was about to die, sensing the extremely strong malevolence and killing intent contained in this talisman spell, which was comparable to the killing move of his master. Right then, he realized that this was a death curse cast by someone who had achieved unity of heaven and man. What should he do when even the wooden puppet defense given by his master was broken by such a person? The warlock broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself, "Am I really going to die here today?" He felt the death curse approaching, unable to move his body. His body stiffened, and he watched the talisman curse penetrate his body. Seconds later, he felt a piercing pain, and blood sprayed out of his mouth, but this feeling quickly disappeared. His senses seemed to amplify, and he heard a faint "crack" in his ear. After a few seconds, his body became mobile again, and he quickly reached into his pocket and took out the jade pendant. As soon as he held it, the jade pendant shattered completely, turning into powder. Slumped in his seat, the warlock breathed heavily. Fortunately, he had the jade pendant given by Simone to him. Otherwise, he would have turned into a corpse. He then looked at his phone and heard movement outside the corridor. "Someone must have arrived," the middle-aged man thought and quickly left. After a while, Joseph and Simone entered the room, and the warlock breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them. With a hateful look in his eyes, he asked, "Did they catch that person?" Joseph replied, "We were a step too late. Mr. Solomon's men let him escape." Of course, they had deliberately let him go. Otherwise, how could they continue fishing? This time, they not only wanted to catch the person behind but also eliminate all the pests in the special department. The warlock clenched his teeth and muttered, "Damn it." He had previously encountered Todrick, who had subtly hinted at his willingness to help and support him in his escape. However, the warlock remained skeptical and cautious due to their history of manipulation. Now, it was clear that Todrick had ulterior motives. Determined to seek revenge once he successfully fled, the warlock clenched his teeth even tighter.
