Austin rolled his eyes, saying, "Everyone has flaws, especially the Frankish people and Wayne."
Just as he was thinking, Shati suddenly expanded her Life Force Field, and a magnificent new world enveloped Austin, Hefei, and Philomena.
Philomena was shaken, and she raised her hand to counter with her Life Force Field.
Hefei slowly raised his hand, interrupting her casting, and looked toward Austin, "What now, you want the younger generation to take action?"
Austin frowned, not understanding Hefei’s fondness for Philomena. If he took action, he would expose his identity as the Dark Knight. Was this really okay?
Wives must be listened to. Since Hefei had accepted Philomena, he wouldn’t refute anything. He spread his fingers and released darkness that turned everything around them white.
Within this whiteness, Austin precisely grabbed a wrist.
Her eyes went white, and just like Borne and Bedford, her thoughts were controlled by a mysterious person who had fought the Death Knight relentlessly and was preparing to kidnap Austin as a leverage.
Since Austin’s strength was unknown, Shati’s mission was to kidnap Hefei. At that moment, her palm was just a step away from Hefei.
Austin grabbed Shati’s wrist, and with Darkness’s embrace devoured her magic power. At the point of contact, the magic within Shati surged out as Darkness continuously drew it away.
Once the magic power was drained, her thoughts and vitality would be next.
Philomena gasped slightly, took an instinctive step back, and then saw Austin draw the Twilight Deadlock and thrust his sword through Shati’s chest.
Dark light surged, enveloping Shati completely before flowing entirely into the Twilight Deadlock.
A Legendary Mage, faced and defeated instantaneously. Perhaps it related to Shati losing her sanity, but it was sufficient to illustrate Austin’s rapid progress.
Having endured great pain in the Frozen Land, he had surpassed the initial phase of a God-chosen Knight, and it wasn’t as strenuous as his last battle with Alen.
He easily eliminated Shati, leaving Austin somewhat surprised. Darkness spread beneath his feet, extending to the entire Life Force Field, whitewashing the Legendary Mage’s Life Force Field.
Philomena muttered, unable to resist asking Hefei, "If he... If his father is the Dark Knight, what about Wayne? He’s a Nature Knight!"
Are they not going to fight?
Oh, wait, so the Dark Knight also Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!
No wonder the Holy Maiden of the Dark Church is so obedient.
No wonder the Death Knight is so meek, surely because he was dealt with before, making him so docile now.
"That’s okay, they won’t fight as long as I’m here."
Hefei patted Philomena’s shoulder, finding a kindred spirit in her, which pleased him greatly.
Austin silently watched this scene, murmuring, "Hefei, do you remember that you have a daughter named Veronica Lando?"
Hefei stiffened. Yes, he had a daughter.
Caught up in admiring his daughter-in-law’s beauty, he had forgotten about his own daughter at home.
Hefei stiffly withdrew his arm, looking at the bewildered Philomena, simultaneously regretful and annoyed, wishing he hadn’t let her know too much.
What to do... Is it still possible to silence her by killing her?
It shouldn’t be a big problem. Wayne could keep her quiet, ensuring the secrets of the Dark Knight remained hidden, but... What about Veronica?
If his daughter knew her mother admired another woman like a daughter-in-law, would she leave home in a fit of rage?
Seeing Hefei as if facing a great enemy, having already lost his capacity for speech, Austin sighed quietly and told Philomena, "Our family situation is somewhat complex; I am Wayne’s father, but Hefei is not Wayne’s biological mother. Hefei and I have a daughter, she’s Wayne’s fiancée."
"Years ago, I feared the Royal Family and hid Wayne by placing him in foster care outside our home so that he could naturally take over the family business when he grew up, choosing Veronica as his fiancée. They’ve both accepted this."
"Do you understand what I’m saying?"
Sorry, could you say that again? It’s a bit confusing.
"Wayne didn’t tell you he has a fiancée, who’s also his sister? That’s how Nobles are. We all accepted it. Can you accept it?"
You Nobles, no, you Royal Family members, are really too corrupt!
Outside the Life Force Field, Anick wasn’t idle either.
As Austin’s family vanished, the Tulip Family, after a brief moment of confusion, could no longer understand the unfolding situation.
Whether it was the spy arranged by the Queen who had triumphed, or the Death Knight who had gotten to the Queen first, the future was murky, and their methods were endlessly complex, making them seem too low-ranked, deservedly just menu options.
Out of a survival instinct and the interests of their family’s future, they were eager to send the information out.
Anick didn’t want these people to cause more chaos, attracting further uncertainty, so he waved off his Life Force Field, swallowing up all the Tulip Family members.
In a pitch-black world, the Tulip Family members’ perception was obscured, their thoughts tampered with, and they were about to forget who they were.
A Legendary Mage was nothing in front of a God-chosen Knight, not because they were weak but, on the contrary, because they were truly strong.
Their miserable defeat was due to the Divine Artifacts bestowed by the Goddess.
Elemental Mantra, Dawn Admonition, White Night Purity Words, Twilight Deadlock, Shadowmare—these five Godchosen Artifacts directly linked to the Laws of Nature. The starting point of a God-chosen Knight was the endpoint of a Legendary Mage. Once a God-chosen Knight learned and adeptly used these Laws, the Legendary Mage had no chance of resisting.
