When the door opened, it wasnât the person the Shen young master had been eagerly anticipating.
Just as he was about to burst into anger, his gaze locked onto the woman standing before himâa face far too striking to ignore.
The young master stood frozen in place, captivated by her beauty, his thoughts entirely muddled.
Odile glanced at the Shen family gathered around the dining table. âHaving dinner, are we?â
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, the head of the Shen family looked over.
The moment he recognized the womanâs face, he hurriedly rose from his seat, stumbling in his haste and nearly falling. Finally, he knelt to the ground. âMiss Odile!â
The Shen matriarch and the other members of the family immediately stood up, nerves stretched taut.
Odile wasnât just any evolved being; she was the captain of the first enforcement team of the Evolved Alliance and the eldest daughter of the Lotebar family, one of the three major evolved families. Her status and power were unparalleled.
There were a few people in the world of evolved beings that one couldnât afford to offend, and Odile was undoubtedly among them.
For a family like the Shens, even meeting Odileâs subordinates was beyond their reach, let alone Odile herself.
But they all knew her face well enough from photos to recognize her instantly.
The fact that Odile had come to their home in person could only mean there was some great fortune in store!@@novelbin@@
The head of the Shen family quickly ordered the butler to offer Odile a seat and personally served her tea, bowing with utmost respect. âMay I ask what brings you to the Shen family, Miss Odile?â
Odile casually tapped her fingers on the table. âI do have a little business.â
The head of the Shen family became even more deferential. âPlease, Miss Odile, just say the word. The Shen family will do whatever it takes, even if it means going through fire and water.â
âBoom!â
No sooner had he finished speaking than an oppressive bloodline pressure suddenly descended, catching everyone off guard.
âThud, thudââ
The sound of people dropping to their knees echoed through the room.
The head of the Shen family barely had time to react before the force field around him shifted, lifting him off the ground.
The other members of the family, with bloodlines weaker than the head, were naturally easy for Odile to control.
Odile remained seated at the table, sipping her tea with an elegance that reminded one of a graceful black swan.
âSuch audacity, truly admirable. The Shen family is quite something.â
She wouldnât even dare to provoke Si Fuqing, yet the Shen family thought they could take her back to play the role of a wife? Their courage was beyond measure.
The head of the Shen family was utterly shocked, having no idea what was happening. âMiss Odile , we havenât done anything!â
What on earth was going on?!
âYour son, what a piece of work. With a bloodline barely reaching Class B, he still dreams of having multiple wives? Wants others to bear his children?â Odile lifted her hand, gripping the Shen young master by the throat with a bloodthirsty smile. âWhat, does he think thereâs a throne to inherit at home?â
This remark finally made the head of the Shen family piece things together, but it only left him more horrified.
Si Fuqing?
Odile had come here because of her?
But how could a mere celebrity from the entertainment industry possibly know an Super Class A evolved being?!
However, there was no time to think about such things. His eyes nearly popped out of his head as he roared, his voice breaking, âMiss Odile , youâre a Super Class A evolved being! What youâre doing violates the rules set by the Evolved Alliance!â
The Evolved Alliance had a rule that Class S and Super Class A evolved beings were not to recklessly attack lower-level evolved beings.
âRules?â Odile elegantly wiped the blood from her hands. âItâs a shame that within the Evolved Alliance, I am the rule. Thereâs nothing you can do about it.â
The blood in the Shen family headâs veins turned cold, and a chilling fear spread through him.
Odile snapped her fingers, and the enforcement team entered, promptly sealing off the Shen family estate.
âCaptain,â one of the team members stepped forward, âwe found several ordinary people locked in a room. Weâre preparing to send them to the hospital.â
âMhmm,â Odile responded, âYou handle it. Iâm going back on vacation.â
She was already planning to spend her break watching âCrossing the Demon Realmâ.
Just as she stepped out of the Shen residence, her phone rang.
Odile frowned, glanced at the caller ID, and picked up. âHello?â
A deep voice came from the other end. âThe Shen family is a minor clan, not even in the top hundred. How did they manage to provoke you?â
Odile let out a casual âOhâ and replied, âAttempted abduction of a young woman. I didnât like it.â
Chris narrowed his eyes, remaining silent. Clearly, he wasnât entirely convinced by this explanation.
Suddenly, Odile said, âBy the way, you should give up.â
âWhat?â
âYouâve been searching for her for four years and still havenât found her. Sheâs right in front of you, yet youâre blind.â
Chris: ââ¦?â
Odile ended the call right after saying this, blocking the number as she did so.
