White Eagle Federation, at a flood discharge outlet on the south section of the Mitchell River.
Will Berg stepped out of the flood channel, moving from darkness into light, his eyes not immediately adjusting to the bright light, shielding the sun with his hand.
As he adapted to the brightness, he heard a greeting voice in his ear.
"I’ve been waiting a long time for you, Mr. Will Berg."
He quickly turned his head to the left side of the outlet, where a young man with black hair was sitting on the guardrail of the river embankment. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novelFirｅ.net
Then he noticed another young man sitting on the right side guardrail.
This young man wore a playful smile on his face, making a gun shape with his thumb and forefinger, mimicking "pew... pew..." towards him.
At that moment, Will Berg realized he truly couldn’t escape.
As the head of the Berg Family, he had been planning the future direction of the family’s development since the first month of the Abyss Descent.
He had successfully seized opportunities, establishing a Superpower Mercenary Organization through immense wealth, gaining influence comparable to before in this era.
However, his hereditary mental illness had always plagued him.
He had tried various methods to solve his mental issues, all to no avail.
Until the Bloodline Demon descended on Blue Star, a new world door opened before him.
His mental issues remained, others deemed him mad, but he embraced his madness freely.
The crazier he became, the more fear he incited in those around him, even among families ranking above the Berg Family.
Since choosing the bloodline transformation route, he fell in love with the taste of blood and with his own madness.
He had even planned to become the Human Bloodline Ancestor, an eternal, immortal being.
He had even started planning to expand the Bloodline Clan’s territory to the Elf World.
What he didn’t expect was the rapid arrival of failure, leaving him no chance to react.
In virtually one day, he was found out.
Faced with this Abyss Battlefield, his strategy was correct.
A raid on the Elf Team concealed the Abyss Battlefield information.
Originally, when the Bloodline Demon descended on Blue Star, he did the same, successfully covering up the invasion of the Bloodline under human civilization.
This time, with the Elves being summoned, he sought to use the same method to quell this Abyss Battlefield.
He had even successfully executed the first step, gaining control over all elves arriving on Blue Star.
Originally, this Abyss Battlefield should have ended quietly.
And he would have created ten Bloodline Elves, and once these ten Bloodline Elves returned to the Queldorei Continent, he would succeed in planting the seed of bloodline in the Elf Clan.
Unfortunately, on the last day before the Abyss Battlefield ended, things took a 180-degree turn.
Causing all his plans to fall apart.
He no longer resisted, reaching this point, resistance was meaningless.
He saw the Elf Team appear.
Eric approached him, looked up at Lu Heng, and asked, "The task requires killing him to end it."
"Let me take a look at the secrets in his subconscious." Lu Heng raised his hand to activate his skill.
Will Berg flashed a cruel smile, sneering, "I am the Prince of Blood; don’t dream of subjecting me to your humiliation."
As he spoke, the blood within him surged, and with a "boom," a wave of blood exploded, painting the walls and floor red.
Will Berg’s shriveled corpse lay in the blood pool like a glaringly red oil painting.
Lu Heng hadn’t anticipated Will Berg would choose suicide in the end, slightly surprised.
Moreover, it was at the moment when he was about to use his skill to probe his subconscious secrets, suggesting he was hiding some secret.
With Will Berg’s death, this incident came to an end.
Eric confirmed the challenge task was completed, but there was still something to handle.
That was Fiona, who had been contaminated by the bloodline.
Fiona had already awakened, her emotions very calm.
The Bloodline Clan itself is an intelligent life form, possessing complete thoughts and personality.
Whether human or elf, becoming a bloodline retains their original memories and thoughts.
Of course, influenced by the bloodline, their thoughts and personalities are bound to change to some extent.
But this transformation is subtle and does not happen instantly.
The reason Fiona acted like a bloodline minion, protecting Will Berg, was due to the oppression of the Prince of Blood.
Each individual in the Bloodline Clan has independent thoughts and personalities, but the bloodline suppression forms a strict hierarchical system.
The Prince of Blood has absolute control over the lower bloodline, with no means for the lower bloodline to defy them.
However, this bloodline suppression needs to be actively released to take effect.
Now that Will Berg is dead, the oppression of the Prince of Blood ceased as well.
Therefore, after waking up, Fiona remained calm, showing no sorrow upon learning of Will Berg’s death.
She even felt a bit relieved, but also worried about the Bloodline Transformation Potion injected into her body.
Lu Heng sat across from Fiona, waving his hand in front of her, and asked, "How do you feel?"
Fiona took a deep breath and replied, "Feeling a bit irritable."
The Elf Clan is a species with gentle temperament and elegant demeanor that rarely becomes irritable unless very angry.
Fiona now feels irritable, which actually reflects the bloodline subtly influencing her emotions.
