The Heiress' Savage Comeback
After the incident with Bailey in Cubilis, Simone's strength significantly improved. Although Magnus had already reached the intermediate stage of the Divine State, Simone could still discern his situation to some extent. She discovered that his lifespan was dwindling. However, he did not resort to Mr. Lewis' cunning methods to extend his life, which was why he sought Bailey's physique. Simone looked at Magnus and suddenly remarked, "You wear the appearance of a despicable person on your face, which impresses me. No wonder your son looks the same. It runs in your family." Magnus looked at her in confusion and asked, "What son?" Simone looked at him mischievously and said, "Don't we already have a showdown? Why pretend? Do you think that your relationship with Mr. Lewis is a secret that only you know and won't be exposed? You underestimate me. The resemblance between your features and his proves that you are father and son. I have already figured it out. Your profile looks very similar to those of Mr. Lewis, Jodie, and Skyler. Your genetic inheritance is powerful." She could see some resemblance between the features of Mr. Lewis and Magnus. Although she couldn't directly confirm that they were father and son, she observed similarities in their facial features. The most crucial thing was that the two of them had a very subtle commonality, but she didn't mention it. From what Bailey had said before, she felt that Magnus's dedication to Mr. Lewis was not just that of a disciple. So, she deliberately observed Magnus's profile from different angles and indeed found similarities with Mr. Lewis and the others. Magnus' eyes showed astonishment and surprise, and then he burst into laughter. "I never expected that you would figure this out. No wonder my son suffered such a big loss in your hands." This statement surprised the three people beside him and Bailey. Clearly, they had never expected that Mr. Lewis would be Magnus's son. Simone smiled and said, "The best way to hide a misdeed is not to commit it." Then, she suddenly left the coffin and kicked up a red tassel spear that was buried in the ground, grabbing it with her hand. Using the red tassel spear, she lifted the lid of the coffin. "Mr. Lewis, you don't need to hide anymore." As soon as she entered, she received a reminder from the little snake that it had detected the presence of Mr. Lewis. As the coffin lid was lifted, Mr. Lewis, who was originally lying down, sat up.With a fierce look in his eyes, he glared at Simone and said, "You brat! My biggest mistake was not killing you earlier." If Simone had been taken care of earlier, there wouldn't have been so many troubles afterward. Simone raised an eyebrow and said, "You said it was a miscalculation, but regretting now won't help. You've harmed so many people; do you really think you can escape?" She then smiled brightly and said, "But I have to thank you today." She looked at Magnus and said, "Otherwise, how could we have lured your father, the big fish, out?" Mr. Lewis' eyes narrowed. "So, everything today was planned by you?" No wonder he had been repeatedly defeated and managed to escape so smoothly. This cunning girl is too sinister. Simone laughed and said, "It can't always be you setting us up, right? How does it feel to be outsmarted? It must be quite frustrating." Mr. Lewis remained silent. He felt extremely frustrated at the moment. It had always been him and his father playing mind games with others, but this was the first time they had been outsmarted. Magnus, far more composed than his son, commended, "Very good. You're worthy of being my junior brother's disciple. He couldn't confront me head-on, but he made you my worthy opponent. At such a young age, you show remarkable intelligence and talent." He cast a cold glare at Simone and uttered, "I really detest geniuses like you, so you'd better go and keep your master company in the afterlife." Simone's gaze instantly turned icy as she faced him. "My master was indeed killed by you." Magnus sneered. "He knew too much and tried to stop us. I originally intended to help him live longer. But he didn't know what was good for him, so there's only one way for him to go." As he finished speaking, he abruptly moved his mystical tool in his hand and shouted, "Kill!" His three companions activated their mystical tools and echoed, "Kill!" The surroundings transformed, resembling an ancient battlefield with countless arrows flying toward Simone and Bailey from all directions. In their ears, there echoed thunderous and earth-shaking roars filled with overwhelming killing intent. Simone and Bailey's expressions remained unchanged, radiating calmness. A hint of a smile played in Simone's eyes, which unsettled Magnus and his son. Simone then produced a puppet and tapped the talisman attached to it. "Protect!" Bailey followed suit, displaying his own puppet. "Protect!" The two puppets ascended, shielding them from the incoming arrows, each talisman inscribed with the name of the great warlock. Before entering the grave, Simone meticulously checked for any formations. Therefore, it was impossible for her to neglect inspecting before entering this tomb chamber. Upon discovering the killing formation inside, she handed a puppet to Bailey and silently mouthed, "Fight fire with fire." These two puppets had been crafted after a call from Salma. During the battle against the great warlock, Simone deliberately captured his aura and the blood that fell into the formation, crafting them into puppet substitutes. At that moment, they were being put to use. Magnus and his son were astounded. "You are so cunning." Simone's unexpected actions shattered their preconceptions. Simone sneered. "Isn't this what you taught me? Anyway, neither of you are good people, so it's fitting for bad to fight bad." Simultaneously, the great warlock, who had just entered Cubilis, vomited several mouthfuls of blood, with his nose and ears bleeding profusely. He covered his chest, feeling as if his whole body had been shot by countless arrows. Upon sensing the murderous aura, he realized the presence of Mr. Lewis and Magnus. In fact, he accidentally discovered their true relationship as master and disciple many years ago. He clutched his chest, angered by the blatant crossing of boundaries. "They have gone too far." Are they trying to eliminate me completely? It does align with the temperament of that master-disciple pair. From a small leather pouch hanging at his chest, he retrieved a lifeless purple centipede. Fortunately, he had refined this life-saving talisman before coming out, and it absorbed a considerable amount of damage for him. Otherwise, by now, he would have been a lifeless corpse. His eyes brimmed with determination. "I must eliminate them. I must eliminate all of their disciples."
