Chapter 249 And now , Percival sat in the car , as if he had never set foot inside the Bennett Villa Finished ? Odalys eyes lingered on him , watching him as he slowly opened his eyes , his deep gaze sweeping over her.
He reached out and gripped her wrist , helping her into the car beside him .
Odalys settled in next to him , her smile still playing at the corners of her lips .
Feeling good ! Percival raised an eyebrow .
The smile in her eyes deepened as Percivals lips tightened , and he finally asked .
You didnt ⦠do something to them , did you ? A little trick here and there .
I tapped into what Sophia and Hannah both desire most deep down .
Those two are masters of playing pretend, so I decided to drag those dirty thoughts out into the light , Odalys murmured softly .
Percival frowned slightly at her words .
After a pause , he asked in a low voice , You want them to fight each other ? Exactly Odalys nodded , her eyes lifting to the direction of the Bennett Villa The atmosphere around it had changed heavy , suffocating , almost as if the very roof was about to collapse under the weight of dark energy .
& That thick , wicked Jura .
all she needed was a little nudge , and they would be tearing each other apart for quite some time .
I left the Bennen Villa not long ago , and it was just eerie , but coming back today .
I find the wicked energy is suffocating .
Its a presence I recognize -the very same energy that was siphoned from the Stewart family .
She paused for a moment , letting the tension build before continuing .
It means when we blew up that old tailors grandsons grave , we broke the Stewart familys wicked energy .
Whats worse , the fragmented energy from the Stewart family is now gathering here .
That means the clothes they made passed through the Bennett familys hands .
And when the Stewart family was the Bennen family benefited from it .
overwhelmed by wicked energy .
Check if the Bennett family has started turning things around since your fathers incident , Odalys added in a low ( UETTUE.
Callum , sitting at the drivers seat , immediately grabbed his iPad and started searching .
A few moments later , he exhaled sharply .
Its true .
After Mr.
Stewarts incident , the Benner familys variety show the one they had been pushing blew up .
Percivals eyes darkened dangerously .
He lifted his gaze towards the Bennett Villa , bloodlust flashing across his face like a storm brewing , The Benner family couldnt possibly be the mastermind , Percival said , his voice low and thick .
Theyre probably pawns , just like that tailor .
Used by someone else to strike at the Stewart family .
Even if the Stewart family catches on , they wont be able to trace the true culprit .
It means that , after we blew up that grave and the Stewart familys wicked energy broke apart , it converged here .
Does this mean the Bennett family is about to face the same suffering the Stewart family once endured ? Percival suppressed his fury , trying to get his thoughts straight Odalys reached for her coffee and took a small sip , unfazed .
Exactly .
Thats why the Bennett family is in for even worse se luck now .
And I just purposely injured Henrys hand his blood flew into the air , mixing with the wicked energY Even if someone tries to reverse this , to bring the energy back to the Stewart family , it will backfire .
Now that the wicked energy has absorbed Henrys blood , its fused with the Bennett family .
Unless theyre powerful enough , they wont be able to break this .
Everything Ive done is carefully calculated , Odalys said , her voice soft but resolute .
Percival raised an eyebrow .
The Hennett family has been in contact with Oliver , trying to take the emerald pendant from you .
If they find out their luck is bring affected , theyll likely hurry to deal with you .
Youre walking into the storm , Odalys .
Odalys shrugged , her expression indifferent .
Oliver is no match for me .
If he tries to deal with ine , hell be courting death She paused for a moment , her voice dropping lower .
I led the police to that villa today .
Theyll probably dig into it and find something soon .
Anyone comunected to that place will start to panic Lets see if anyone gris desperate enough to turn to people who can read energy belds or practice magic .
S Some might even come looking for me ! Percival nodded in agreement .
Ive already stationed people at that villa .
As for the families on the list , our people are keeping an eye on thein too .
Well see if anyone makes a move against them or if they retaliate against others .
Everything was in his control .
If he moved , it would shift everything 1/2 Chapter 249 Odalys , Percival spoke her name .
his voice deep and serious .
She turned to face him , raising an eyebrow , her voice dropping as she added , Im glad i didut make a move on you .
Otherwise , Im sure you could kill me with a snap of your fingers .
Her words hung in the air for a moment before Percival reached out , gently tilting her chin upwards to meet his gaze , The tension between them thickened .
The air in the car seemed to freeze as their eyes locked .
The beat of their hearts echoed in the stillness , and Odalys found her reflection in the depth of his eyes .
Afraid of me ! Percivals voice was low , almost a growl .
Odalys quickly turned her head , as though the tension was too much to bear .
She grabbed her coffee and took a sip , trying to shake off the feeling .
Her fingers brushed against his chest , and she smirked .
Your hearts beating a little too fast .
You should get that checked .
Could be heart disease .
Percival fell silent , his lips pressing into a thin line .
He shifted his focus outside the ear , his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest .
As the car sped towards the Stewart Villa , Callum occasionally glanced in the rearview mirror .
He noticed Odalys picking at something , while Percival frowned , before reluctantly reaching out to peel a few nuts for her .
Suddenly , her phone buzzed .
Percival glanced at the screen .
It was a call from the Stewart family .
He answered it quickly .
Before he could speak , Evanders voice rushed through the line , urgent and concerned .
Percival , hows it going ? Have you picked up Odalys ? Dorian said you two havent come back for dinner .
Odalys is still growing .
Evander .
Make sure shes eating on time , dont let her starve .
Evanders voice was sharp , almost as if accusing Percival of neglect .
Percival sighed , rubbing his temples .
Grandfather , were handling something , but were on our way home now .
Dorians already prepared dinner .
Well eat as soon as we get back .
Evander .
As Odalys heard his voice on the other end of the call , she leaned in eagerly , her tone softening unconsciously .
Hearing her voice melted Evanders heart instantly .
Tm here , Im right here .
Dont worry .
If that guy dares to let you go hungry , Ill make sure he regrets it , Evander said seriously , his protective nature evident Odalys leaned in , her voice soft but teasing .
I was just out with him at the Bennett family .
He was covering for me .
To the Bennett family ? Evanders voice instantly grew tense .
What happened ? Did they cause trouble ? Odalys couldnt help but stifle a laugh at his concern .
She was trying hard to keep a straight face , feeling the weight of her words , yet wanting to laugh all the same .
