3017 Expelled From The Victorian Family

Izisha was loyal to the Holy City. But Ye Xinxia was different. Everyone knew about her relationship with Mo Fan.

Unless Ye Xinxia made the same decision as Izisha and put Mo Fan to death in the final judgment, she would not gain even half of the Holy City’s support.

The Holy City did not only contribute to the saintess’ number of votes. In fact, not many organizations dared to stand in opposition to the Holy City. Once the Holy City decided to support Izisha, the entire Europe, the world, and the organizations within the Holy City system would support Izisha.

The system was so large that no matter how much effort Ye Xinxia put in, she would never change the tide of the Holy City’s choice. However, the Victorian family’s participation could change everything.

But gaining the support from the Victorian family alone was not enough. They had to gain support from the organizations in Europe that had dealings with the Victorian family.

They needed dragons. Dragons could bring significant growth to their economy. The Holy City dared not express their choice of support openly, but the Victorian family was different. Based on the drafted proposal, the Victorian family was determined to stop the business dealings with those who supported Izisha.

This was yet another huge tidal wave that was strong enough to fight against the Holy City’s interference in the election. Therefore, the result of the election was uncertain.

Lady Karolina stared at Ye Xinxia. Ye Xinxia sat quietly in her place. She did not speak up for herself. Still, she managed to turn the Victorian family’s situation to her electoral advantage. There were no emotions flickering in her eyes

Lady Karolina felt a chill spread down her spine upon noticing Ye Xinxia’s scheming character beneath her young and calm appearance.

‘Did Ye Xinxia truly rely on the Divine Soul? Was she Wen Tai’s previous subordinate?’

…

The meeting was held to make an announcement. They weren’t made to gather for a discussion.

Ayleen was right. The content in the meeting had zero tolerance for any controversy.

The group left the table. Lady Karolina refused to leave. If the meeting were a game between her and Ye Xinxia, then Lady Karolina would have lost everything.

Ye Xinxia did not need Lady Karolina’s help. Instead, Lady Karolina needed Ye Xinxia’s support if she wanted to fortify her position in the Victorian family. It was truly a one-eighty-degree turn!

Still, Lady Karolina wanted to have a word with Ye Xinxia. After all, Ye Xinxia was the only person in the world who could save her husband.

Ye Xinxia seemed to have sensed that Lady Karolina had something to say. After she signed the proposal, she rested her gaze on Lady Karolina.

“I’ll leave Victoria in an hour. You can take me to see your husband,” said Ye Xinxia to Lady Karolina.

Lady Karolina was shocked. The truth was, Lady Karolina did not tell the two saintesses anything about her husband. She told them she only needed the Resurrection Divine Art.

“I’m a Psychic Element Mage,” said Ye Xinxia to Lady Karolina as a way of explanation.

“I’m sorry…” Lady Karolina subconsciously blurted out the words. She no longer sounded as arrogant as before.

…

When they arrived at the ice cellar, Lady Karolina tried very hard to give her an explanation of her actions. After all, she was the one who had “killed” her husband. She did not want the rest to find out.

As Lady Karolina explained to Ye Xinxia, she looked into her eyes. Ye Xinxia’s eyes were so bright and clear that she could see through one’s lies. Ye Xinxia’s eyes looked so pure yet full of wisdom.

Ye Xinxia knew everything! Lady Karolina sucked in a deep breath. She had lost once again.

Not only did Lady Karolina have to beg Ye Xinxia to resurrect her husband from the dead, but Ye Xinxia had also found out the secret that Lady Karolina had kept hidden for six years.

“He doesn’t need the Resurrection Divine Art, My Lady,” said Ye Xinxia.

“What do you mean?” asked Lady Karolina in shock.

“He’s at a critical point of life and death, like the zero degree Celsius of the mixture between ice and water. He needs Muscle Recovery Art instead of Resurrection Divine Art,” said Ye Xinxia.

Lady Karolina was in disbelief. That meant her husband was not dead yet! He was frozen, but not dead.

Lady Karolina could not sense that he was still alive. She had a Healing Element Forbidden Mage to check on her husband’s condition, and the old Mage had told her that her husband was dead.

Could this be the difference between the people in the Parthenon Temple and other Mages, or was this what set apart someone with a Divine Soul from the rest?

“Take him to the Parthenon Temple and I’ll implore the Hall Mother to perform the Muscle Recovery Art on him,” said Ye Xinxia.

“Are you willing to save him? Are you willing to help me?” Lady Karolina looked surprised.

Lady Karolina was no longer of any value to Ye Xinxia.

Ye Xinxia did not have to waste her precious time on Lady Karolina. Moreover, the Muscle Recovery Art was a magic from the Parthenon Temple’s Hall Mother.

Any spells from the Parthenon Temple were incredibly valuable. They would not simply give the spell away to an unworthy person. They were not a charity organization.

“Yes.”

“But…” Lady Karolina sensed something was wrong.

“I need 25% of you and your husband’s power,” said Ye Xinxia.

“That’s impossible!” Lady Karolina rejected her outright.

The dragon gambling industry was a popular project in Europe which Lady Karolina had created alone. She created a huge lucrative business for the Victorian family, so she certainly would not give up her power.

“The water at zero degree Celsius will eventually freeze. His survival instinct is alive but only just,” said Ye Xinxia.

“I can give you 10% of the power. He and I cannot lose everything!” said Lady Karolina.

“You can get back to me after thinking things through.” Ye Xinxia turned around and left the ice cellar.

Lady Karolina was frozen in place. At that moment, she finally sensed how terrifying Ye Xinxia was.

Ye Xinxia had provided Lady Karolina with a ray of hope but with no room for negotiation!

…

Ye Xinxia and Ayleen chatted for half an hour. When the sound of an airplane was heard outside the manor, Lady Karolina appeared before Ye Xinxia.

Lady Karolina decided to give in to Ye Xinxia’s condition.

She could accept the fact that her husband was dead. But she could not accept the fact that she had killed him when she could have saved him.

He was not dead yet. It would be her atonement. She could atone for her sin and save her beloved husband.

Of course, she had to pay a heavy price by giving up all their power over the Victorian family.

From today on, the Victorian family would have nothing to do with Lady Karolina. While Lady Karolina may still be a part of the Victorian family in name, the family was under the control of Ye Xinxia and Ayleen.

“I’ll sign the agreement once he awakes,” said Lady Karolina. She turned around and left.

Ayleen watched Lady Karolina’s receding back and turned to Ye Xinxia. “Are you expelling her out of the Victorian family?”

“Yes, because she exiled my friend,” said Ye Xinxia.
