Chapter 371 She handed over the ring , and Percival took it , turning it over in his polm , his brow furrowed in obvious surprise .
Its a blood ring .
Percival said in a low voice Blood rings were fare , especially ones that could be passed down through generations .
This particular ring was clearly of immense valise , practically priceless .
If it were put up for sale , it would likely cause a frenzy .
It is a blood ring , but dont you think it looks fanlar Odalys said softly .
She pointed at the ring , urging Percival to think carefully , Percival s gaze grew intense as he stared at it , deep in thought .
After a long panne , he finally spoke , A critury pld Odalys quietly reminded hum Percival tightened has grip on the ring , his gate flickering to her with a complex expression A century old tailor Exactly , Odalys quickly nodded , her look at Percival filled with admiration .
After finishing her task , Odalys had immediately tested Percival , asking him to come and take a look at the blood ring .
The negative energy emanating from it was strong , continuously surging The energy felt oddly familiar , making her think of Brandon Where did you get this blood ring ? Percival asked , his voice lor .
He remembered that she hadnt had it before .
Odalys briefly explained , and as she did .
Percivals grip on the ring tightened , his voice darkening .
This Majors whole family was massacred , their wealth wiped out , and their ancestral home was forced to be sold .
In fact , it was all orchestrated Yes , someone coveted their ancestral home because of its prime energy field .
They plotted to destroy the family , leading to the massacre and the fall of their fortune .
Odalys said The scene was too tragic for her to let that man remember .
If she did , he wouldnt have left so easily .
But if he didnt go through time travel soon , it wouldnt just be him .
Even that woman could end up losing her soul , The century old tailor family were the murderers , Percival said in a low voice .
He handed the ring back to her .
It seems this family hid things well .
We inally thought they were misled and wanted to take advantage of the Stewart familys fortune , but now it seems they were most likely the masterminds , he said .
Odalys looked at Percival with even greater admiration upon hearing this .
She knew he was strategic , but she hadnt realized just how sharp he truly was .
You know why I didnt kill him last night at the Bennett Villa ? she asked .
Otherwise , given my personality , I would have ended it right then .
She added , He went to the villa in the suburbs , then came back to the Bennett Villa to confront Windsor .
On the surface , it seemed like he wanted justice , but in reality , he knew we were following him and did it on purpose .
He wanted to mislead us and shift suspicion onto Windsor But he didnt expect that I would find a way to make Windsor break the rules .
Once Windsor is ruined , he becomes useless to him .
Brandon is sharp .
His sons death was probably intentional .
He needed to get rid of a burden .
Odalys fiddled with the ring in her hand as walked outle Percival followed quietly behind her , Listening thoughtfully .
g .
but in reality , hes used The mountain village hides toxic blood .
Hes trying to frante Windsor as a scapegoat .
It looks like hes done nuthing .
everything .
He wants in take advantage of us to eliminate his enemies .
Then hes likely the accomplice of my uncle Percival said Odalys smiled without speaking , carefully tucking the ring into her bag .
As soon as it was inside , the negative energy seemed to vanish .
At his age , sacrificing his entire family for this , what do you think hes after ? Odalys threw the question at him .
1/3 Chapter 571 Pecival answeel without hesitation .
He sucking mummortaldy Volitys burned , a unile pling on her lips , but she said natt She deder argue with his word again , instead , she walked toward the car .
Percival stepped forward and opened the door for her .
Avdalys sat down, she noted a smoothie placed on the uide Pervoval semned her cumsu gary and waved his hand dimovelty .
I saw that you liked this brand of smoothie lost inne .
I was passing by on my way here , so I picked one sip for you , Percival explained , though his To the beatness world or in politics .
Percival could turn any situation around , but in front of Odalys , har felt a hit uneasy .
He feared he wasnt doing enough , ni wattse , that he might overstep and make her unconionable .
He couldnt que figure out the right balance , and he worried that if he hugged her outside city hall, it might upset her .
Now , though , it seemed that Odalys hadnt thought much about that moment Peneral couldnt help but feel a little disappointed .
The fart flut she hadnt given it much thought meant that maybe she didnt treat him as a man , mene she exchanges pleasantries with , after which she would leave .
A sense of heaviness pressed against his chest .
Arent you leaving ? Okdalys asked , lowering the window in confusion .
Her eyes met Percivals deep ones , and she froze .
Her heart sildenly race , as if it had been stabbed , and the strange emotion left her feeling Yeah Percival replied in a low voice .
He walked around and got into the drivers sea Just then his phone vibrated with a call from Callum .
Something happened ? Percivals voice was cold .
××× Callum telt a chill run down his spine , immediately standing up straighter , unconsciously straightening his legs and giving a small salute before spraking in a low voice .
Mr.
Stewart , Brandon wants to see Odalys .
Brandon wants to see you Percival said , handing her the phone .
Odalys didnt take it , quietly sipping her smoothie instead .
She simply said .
Tell him Im not available .
What if he keeps pushing ! Callum asked , his voice tinged with hesitation .
Peroval tapped the phone screen , putting it on speaker , and Callums voice filled the car .
Odalys took a quiet sip of her smoothie , contemplating for a moment before responding Leave him hanging Got itll handle it Callum quickly said before hanging up .
Odalys turned her head and their eyes met .
For a moment , they just stared at each other , and Percival instinctively looked away , feeling a little guilty .
He grasped the steering wheel , and after a couple of awkward coughs , the silence lingered .
sipping her smoothie , instinctively extended it toward him .
Want a sip ? She had barely finished speaking when she realized the only smoothie slae had was the one she had been drinking .
She was about to retract her hand when Percival , looking down , took the straw into his mouth .
He took a sip of the smoothie , the subtle sweetness litering in his mouth .
Percival wasnt particularly fond of weet foods , but he didnt mind this , In fact , he thought it was quite pleasant .
Want me to give it to you ? Odalys hand holding the smoothie , froze .
She offered it to him , but suddenly something cussed her mind , and she quickly pulled it back .
Now , neither drinking in nor not seemed right .
and the atmosphere inside the car grew tense .
Where are you going ! Ill drive you Percival asked , breaking the silence .
Odalys felt somewhat flustered , wanting to head back to her studio .
