3014 The Victorian Family

‘How could a criminal enjoy his coffee in the evening so leisurely? What was the Holy City to him?! Was the Holy City just a vacation resort to him?!’

Many people in the Holy City could not wait to see Mo Fan die a violent death!

“What difference does it make? If he has sinned, he’s on probation before he leaves the world. If he hasn’t sinned, he’s enjoying the freedom that belongs to him anyway,” said Sharjah.

Lady Karolina could not convince Sharjah. Still, she could not accept the fact that this man was walking around in freedom.

Why couldn’t the Holy City keep the demon in check? She expected to see Mo Fan hanging highly in the claws of the golden dragon. She expected to see him all bruised and battered while being hung in the scorching sun. She hadn’t expected this!

“But—”

“It’s upon China and Asian Magic Association’s behest. As long as he remains in the Holy City before judgment, the Holy City Archangels agreed to not deprive him of his human rights.” Sharjah waved her hand. She had no interest in providing Lady Karolina with any more explanation.

A mass of purple aura spread and melted the adverse effect caused by Lady Karolina’s frosty magic. After that, she continued wandering around the Holy City like any other ordinary girl.

Meanwhile, Mo Fan stood in place. He fixed his gaze on Lady Karolina and gave her a smirk.

Lady Karolina felt a chill spread down her spin.

She sensed that Mo Fan was trying to remember her face. He looked as if the first thing he wanted to do after breaking free from the Holy City was to kill her!

Lady Karolina snorted. She was not afraid of him. Why did she need to be so calculative with someone who was going to die soon anyway?

“Enjoy your last freedom. That’s all you can do,” sneered Lady Karolina.

Mo Fan had already left.

…

Lady Karolina went into her winery. When she recalled Mo Fan’s expression, she was no longer in the mood for any drinks.

‘Forget about it. Let’s just go back to England.’

She went out of the city and hopped onto the red dragon. They flew to the England coast. The place was much colder than Italy, Greece, and the Holy City. There were hardly any other colors except the weeds along the lengthy coastline.

The Victorian family’s manor was in the coldest area. Around the manor was a variety of cold-resistant plants and because of this, the manor looked like a unique oasis in the middle of a barren land. Colorful flowers bloomed around the manor. Despite lacking sunlight, the flowers grew well and added a splash of color in the area.

Lady Karolina’s favorite plants were the thorny flowers dangling along the high walls. When she was younger, her childish husband had climbed the wall that was filled with thorny flowers with his bare hands in order to find a place to spend a night with her in private.

She walked quickly into the mansion. She went down along a spiral staircase and into the basement ice cellar. No wine was stored here. Instead, there was a hundred-year-old Ice World Magic Stone. It was used to freeze a middle-aged man who had died six years ago.

The man sat on the chair, looking like he was deep in his thoughts. Lady Karolina stood before the frozen body and stared at him for a very long time.

“Dear, I’ve not been able to obtain the special God’s gift. This place can preserve you for another half a year, at most. Don’t worry, the saintess from the Parthenon Temple needs my vote. You’ll be brought back to life very soon,” said Lady Karolina to the inert body.

The man couldn’t hear her words. It looked as though she was speaking to herself. It was as if she was performing a stage play.

“When you wake up, I won’t hate you anymore.”

“When you wake up, I will give you all you want.”

“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have thrown a fit at you because of those unimportant women. We’re husband and wife, after all. We should forgive each other for everything.”

“I know you were just flirting with them. You still love me from the bottom of your heart. When you wake up, I’ll put up with all your flaws. It’s my fault for freezing you here. I just want to make you stay. I don’t mean to take your life away. I—”

Lady Karolina was in tears.

Knock! Knock!

There was a knock on the thick, wooden door of the ice cellar.

“Who is it?” Lady Karolina immediately turned as cold as ice.

“Madam, the saintess from the Parthenon Temple is here,” said the servant from outside the door.

Lady Karolina was delighted. She could not stop herself from planting a kiss on the frozen middle-aged man’s cheek. She was so happy that she looked like a lady embarking on a new life.

“I’ll come after I change my clothes. Is it Izisha or Ye Xinxia?” asked Lady Karolina calmly.

“It’s the younger one,” said the servant.

“Great!”

There was joy in her words this time.

Izisha possessed the Resurrection Divine Art. However, she had only resurrected herself thus far. Besides, there was much controversy about her resurrection. It seemed like her Resurrection Divine Art was not the orthodox Parthenon Temple resurrection method. It did not belong to the White Magic. It was suspected to have originated from Black Magic.

Ye Xinxia, on the other hand, mastered the resurrection art that was approved by the Soul of the Parthenon Temple. Even the Forbidden Curse Alliance never questioned her ability.

Although Lady Karolina was closer with Izisha, she could make her family give their full support to Ye Xinxia for the sake of resurrecting her husband from the dead.

…

The family meeting was held in the afternoon. Lady Karolina knew what the meeting was about.

Duke Ayleen showed clear signs of the party she supported. She was very close with Ye Xinxia. The mass media had reported about this before. As an insider, Lady Karolina was aware of this too. On top of their close relationship, there were also many interests involved in it.

Four people in the Victorian family had the most power.

One of them was Duke Ayleen. If the Victorian family was a public listed company, Ayleen would own 30% of the shares.

The other was Lady Karolina. She and her husband owned 25% of the shares. Lady Karolina told the public that her husband was critically ill but had not yet been declared dead.

Another one was Old Weller. He was the younger brother to Ayleen’s father. He owned 15% of the shares.

The last one was a mysterious person who did not belong to the Victorian family. That person owned 30% of the shares.

There were no other minority shareholders. These four people held the Victorian family’s shares. Today, the Victorian family was the greatest family in England because of the enormous dragon. They were in a position where no other Europeans could compete. The four people who held the power of the family controlled England’s economy and magic system to a certain extent!
