Simone had no intention of wasting time talking to Mr. Lewis. She signaled to the great warlock. "Attack!" She herself activated the negative energy in her seal and knife coins, forming a sword-like weapon. She swung it towards Mr. Lewis. The great warlock had the same idea and unleashed his strongest attack without hesitation. He also released his little treasures. Mr. Lewis's expression changed once again upon seeing this. Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed his second disciple to use him as a shield against Simone and the great warlock's attacks. Simone's negative energy sword struck, causing the man to convulse in pain. After the great warlock's attack landed, the man's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground. He was dead. Clearly, he never expected his master to use him as a sacrificial pawn. While using his disciple as a shield, Mr. Lewis turned and ran. Simone said to the great warlock, "Let’s chase after him."The great warlock had no intention of leaving any potential threats behind. He nodded. "Alright!" Together with Simone, they chased after Mr. Lewis. Just as they reached the garden, the scenery suddenly changed, and a faint aura of negative energy filled the air. Simone said, "He was prepared and set up a formation." By the time they broke through the formation, Mr. Lewis would have already escaped far away. She knew it wouldn’t be easy to kill him. It was perfect to keep him alive to catch a bigger fish. Moreover, even if Mr. Lewis didn't die today, with the backlash he suffered and the severe injuries he sustained, he wouldn't live much longer. Simone didn't move. The little snake on her wrist opened its eyes and began absorbing the negative energy swirling around her. She was proficient in formations and immediately found the exit as soon as she was trapped in the formation. So, she stepped back toward the exit, watching the great warlock struggle within the negative energy formation. The great warlock wasn't a good person either. Simone decided to let him experience the power of his old friend.Not only that, but she also quietly introduced more negative energy into several key points, doubling the destructive power of the formation. The little snake also took the opportunity to blend into the formation, occasionally snatching away some insects as food. It took the great warlock more than twenty minutes to forcefully break free from the formation. After emerging, he appeared weak, and his face pallid. Even the several pouches he carried were now half empty. Upon seeing Simone standing unharmed, not far away, the great warlock was stunned. "How are you unharmed?" He had paid a great price to break free. Yet Simone still looked as fresh and clean as before. Simone replied truthfully, "I found a loophole in the formation, so the attacks from the formation won't hit me. That's why I've been standing here all along." The great warlock was furious. "Why didn't you tell me?" Simone looked innocent. "How would I know? You can't even see through such a formation. Besides, I did call out to you when I saw you trapped in the formation, but you ignored me. You can't blame me for that." She did call out twice, but shouting alone wouldn't help.The great warlock choked. He did hear someone shouting earlier. But he couldn't locate the direction of the voice. He had a feeling that Simone was intentionally making him lose his reputation. The great warlock's face was filled with gloom as he asked, "What do we do now that the old man has escaped?" Although they had severely injured Mr. Lewis today, the great warlock himself was also injured and suffered heavy losses. His main mystical tool was damaged from resisting the formation, and his precious energy was depleted by more than half. With this condition, he was uncertain about the duration required for recovery. His lifespan would be impacted as well. Therefore, he was feeling irritable and wanted to kill someone. If Simone wasn't so powerful, he would have killed her directly. Simone could clearly see the anger building up in the great warlock. "You can go find Mr. Lewis. He's currently suffering from a backlash, and his injuries have worsened. If you find him, you can handle him alone. If you can't find him, there are his disciples." Those disciples of Mr. Lewis were no better. Much like the individual brought in earlier to impede the disaster. There was a fair amount of resentment on him. It indicated that he had been involved in many killings and karmic retributions. The great warlock's eyes flickered. "He has harmed you so much. Why don't you go find him?" Simone shrugged. "I would love to, but he obviously made preparations and is definitely hiding now. I won't bother with that effort." Her little snake had another talent, which was to locate the opponent based on their negative energy aura. She had already locked onto the negative energy on Mr. Lewis, so she wasn't afraid of not finding him. She then gave the great warlock some advice. "If I were you, I would go and attack Mr. Lewis' headquarters. And plunder all his treasures. The Vice President of the Geomancy Association is now trapped in an ancient tomb. If you go to Cubilis, you will be the strongest presence." Mr. Lewis must have set up many things in Cubilis. She intended to let the great warlock, who was full of anger but had no way to vent it, go and cause some destruction. The great warlock looked deeply at Simone and said, "Goodbye!" He turned around and left, but he had heard all of Simone's words. Simone wanted to use him to destroy Mr. Lewis' headquarters, and he knew her intentions. But it suited him just fine. Although Simone would take advantage, he had to do it. If he didn't let it out, he wouldn't be able to get past that hurdle. Mr. Lewis' backlash was so severe. If he couldn't be found, he wouldn't live much longer either. After the great warlock left, he went to pick up his disciple and had someone book the next flight to Cubilis. At Salma's villa. Upon seeing the courtyard still being swept by the chilly wind, Simone moved a few stones and flowerpots around. By fixing the formation in this courtyard, the negative energy couldn't escape and cause trouble. Salma and Jodie had just been frightened. But they ran to the garden. After seeing the great warlock leave, they still felt a chilling coldness around them. Salma couldn't help but speak up, "Simone, can you do something about this garden?" Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to live here. Simone glanced at Salma and said, "I don't have the time for that. The negative energy here will naturally dissipate in two or three months. If you really want to deal with it, you can go to the geomancy association and hire a master yourself." She was capable of handling it, but it was troublesome and time-consuming. Salma didn't deserve her help.Salma felt a bit unhappy. Simone was clearly capable of handling it, but she deliberately refused to assist her. However, Salma held back and didn't say anything. Reluctantly, she said, "I don't know any experts, so please help me." Simone glanced at Jodie, who was standing next to Salma, and said, "Considering that your esteemed adoptive daughter's father holds the position of president at the geomancy association, summoning two influential experts should be a trivial matter." Salma was left speechless. She felt a strong sense of irony in Simone's words. At the same time, she remembered that Jodie was the daughter of Mr. Lewis and all the schemes against her. Her face immediately turned livid, and she distanced herself from Jodie. Jodie's expression changed, and she remained silent. "Simone, you little troublemaker. She always strikes where it hurts." She hadn't anticipated that her biological father would be so incapable, and he was actually driven away by Simone and the great warlock. She didn't know what would happen to her biological father afterward. Therefore, she couldn't let Salma or the Gray Family off the hook. Simone knew that Salma and Jodie would have more conflicts and arguments in the future. "You two continue to love each other; I won't disturb you." After saying that, she walked away. When Salma was temporarily appeased by Jodie, she let go of the things in her hand. Those things hurt Salma's heart much more than today's events and the truth. They would completely turn this "loving mother and daughter" against each other. Betrayal? She knew how to do it as well.
