Renault quickly tried to break free, but it was too late.
[Restrain yourself.]
The use of psychic powers becomes easier in extremely close proximity.
Renault could only speak with a blank look in his eyes, and used a spell to turn into a metal chain to bind his body and gag his mouth. The chain produced strong vibrations and made him unconscious.
Chapter 79 Renault’s End
The blazing fire finally went out.
Maryse took a deep breath and looked at her bound father with a complicated expression.
This steel chain looks like an ordinary chain, but it is actually the power of a spell, which represents "binding" and cannot be broken from the inside in a short time.
Just like he was bound by himself in the past, now, this man is also bound by himself.
No one can bind another person's heart... except himself.
She suddenly felt a little scared.
Would the savior of the Tower of Babel allow himself to kill this man
If she could really do this... Maryse stretched out her hand tremblingly, and touched her father's forehead with the tips of her white fingers. A large number of familiar and unfamiliar memories poured in.
Her powers evolved.
Although Maris has almost never deliberately mastered the ability to "read minds", over the past twenty years, she has grown in the process of constantly releasing her ability automatically, and it has blossomed in battle.
The new power may not be powerful enough in battle, but it definitely has great uses!
Memory reading.
Although Maris cannot accurately read all memories at present and can only randomly select some memories, this ability will become stronger and stronger over time through proficiency.
A flashing slideshow appeared in her eyes, and one scene after another emerged from her mind.
Those are memories from the past, memories that are unforgettable, memories from before the age of eight...
Maryse saw herself before she was eight years old, how happy she was surrounded by everyone, and her father truly doted on her at that time.
Well, the most important reason is because... She is the most beautiful girl in the Augustus family. Even the kings who dominate the Sky Alliance covet her, and she has huge use value.
But also because I am his daughter.
Subsequently, Maryse saw more and more memory fragments. They were fragmentary and incomplete, but they allowed her to truly understand the life of this man for more than a hundred years.
It turns out that he has been involved in more darkness than he imagined. The Augustus family, one of the five major families in Chenhai, has never been a clean existence.
But working with a cult is a huge no-no.
Since reading the "Book of Chaos" in the study, Renault has become increasingly abnormal, and his perception has been modified. The book should be an "evil poison" administered by someone from the Black Star Society.
"I see."
Tears flowed down uncontrollably, and Maryse felt extremely complicated.
Only after you have been influenced by the "Book of Chaos" for a long time will you unconsciously do things for the Black Star Society... without knowing your behavior in this regard.
But, but... Why are you true to me in this regard
Can't all cruelty be influenced and manipulated by others
The girl's remaining hope was shattered.
Renault gradually opened his eyes, his expression solemn.
"You know...those family secrets."
Maryse opened her mouth uncontrollably and spoke calmly: "The family's secrets, darkness, and things that cannot be told to outsiders are all controlled by the Tower of Babel now. Tell Phoenix about this."
Why should I tell Phoenix
Renault frowned slightly, unable to understand.
For some reason, Maryse was still relieved at this moment. She knew that she would not kill this man with her own hands.
Even though I have been mentally prepared for the most extreme situation, for the sake of the happiness "before the age of eight", I shouldn't do that.
There is only one reason why Renault must die, and that is to pay the price for the Black Star Society.
However, his situation is very special. Maryse doesn't know how the savior will deal with this man, and can only pray that she will not see the last moment.
"Mission accomplished." Maryse said.
She was able to move, her body regained its freedom again, and she turned away from looking at her father.
Renault was "cleansed" about the Black Star Society, but Maryse's heart was still full of sadness, because her father's decision to ignore her was not influenced by anyone or anything, but came from his heart.
"So, goodbye."
Black mist gradually surrounded her, as did Mu Zhen beside her. Both of them would leave this place quickly without giving them a chance to be surrounded by the Augustus family's guards.
Maryse knew in her heart that the family would not take action against her maid Yiwen, because she would have the opportunity to expose Augustus' many secrets to the public at any time.
That man was a smart man, and he would choose to fear the existence of the Tower of Babel.
"Farewell," she said at last.
The two girls in the black mist disappeared, and Renault fell into a long silence.
Suddenly, Phoenix and other internal guards and bodyguards came in from outside, and even the crow god of death in a bronze mask.
"Why are you so slow?"
Renault's tone was very bad, feeling that they arrived too late.
Phoenix stepped forward with his hands behind his back. At this moment, his spirit was completely different from the past, as if he had become a different person.
More confident.
He smiled and said: "Father, Mr. Death has investigated... about your alliance with the Black Star Society."
With the Crow Death standing aside, things went much smoother than expected. With the help of Phoenix, he easily obtained more evidence.
It was enough for the current head of the Augustus family to die without a burial place.
In exchange, he would ask the Enforcement Bureau to make a determination and prove that these things were all Renault's crazy personal behaviors and had nothing to do with the rest of the Augustus family.
I really didn’t expect that the reporter was actually the eldest son that Renault valued most.
"Perhaps, this is the nobility."
The Crow Death said to himself, his tone cold.
Renault's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the cowardly and obedient eldest son, and suddenly he understood a lot.
No wonder that such a lonely night watcher as the Crow Death would take the initiative to attend the banquet. It turns out that the traitor of this family is not just the girl.
"Why do you want to do this?" Renault asked in a deep voice.
"Huh? Because it's all for the family."
Phoenix's eyes were very surprised, as if his father had said something outrageous.
"Have you forgotten what you have always taught me? Now that you have been controlled by the Black Star Society without even knowing it, it is time to hand over your position as the head of the family."
The smile on Phoenix's face did not diminish at all, and he recalled his inner thoughts before he was controlled by Maryse.
[You also know what I think, and I can guess your purpose.]
[You want to take revenge on that man, right? And I want to be the new head of the family, so let's join forces.]
[In the study, the secret of that man is hidden. Following my report, the Crow Death from the Demon Enforcement Bureau is already investigating.]
[I can’t activate the alarm spell, how about it?]
The deal is done.
Although Maryse did not kill her father, the Crow Death's investigation was very successful. As long as she cooperates with what she has mastered, at least the position of the head of the family will be replaced by someone else.
This is all for the family.
"Maryse wants you to be careful about the existence of the Tower of Babel. She knows a lot of secret things... I see, the Tower of Babel also knows that I was betrayed by you, right..."
Phoenix was slightly stunned. Is Maryse a member of the Tower of Babel
The chains on Renault's body melted into the wind. He stood up and wanted to say something, with anger in his expression.
"Phoenix, don't be so self-righteous, I have never colluded with the Black Star Society!"
Phoenix was a little startled by the terrifying momentum. He frowned and took a step back. Was that man going to fight to the death
Renault stepped forward step by step, and the accumulated majesty made the betrayers fear, and the defecting inner guards also retreated nervously.
"I'm still part of this family... what?"
Suddenly, thick black mist surged from all around, accompanied by an incomprehensible sense of heaviness, as if there were countless murmurs of sadness and pain whispering.
Renault waved his arms, trying to resist angrily, but his body was gradually disappearing.
"What is this! Is it the Tower of Babel?"
He was shocked and unwilling to leave.
"Everything I do is for my family. This family cannot live without my existence, glory, survival, and exchange. How do you know what family is?"
The body of the crow god of death is like a stream of crimson fire, quickly bouncing into the air and falling to the ground like a meteor!
The bombardment dropped from the sky and detonated the entire banquet hall next to Renault!
"boom!"
The huge shock wave spread instantly and was unstoppable! Everyone present was shaken and flew backwards!
The Crow Death is trying to break the influence of the black mist!
But he could do nothing but watch Renault disappear.
"It's the Tower of Babel again..." The eyes under the mask were full of vigilance and doubt.
—
A few hundred meters away from the Augustus family, there is an ecological botanical garden that was not open to outsiders in the past. There is a landmark building "Glass Plank Road" inside.
On the glass plank road, Bai Yan, dressed in an autumn windbreaker, silently put down the telescope he had prepared.
"The fire is out."
He had known the final outcome a few hours ago, but he still came here to observe things in the family silently, using the powerful five senses of the "secret magic" recreated by God, and using a telescope to peek at the development.
"It's a pity that I still can't see clearly. If I were closer, I might have been discovered."
Bai Yan calmly took out his mobile phone, and the screen was still frozen on the latest task settlement screen.
"The new level has been completed, the Tower of Babel legend level +150."
"The level reward has been obtained: Tactical Card·Force of Luck as a God for a quarter of an hour!"
"The level reward has been obtained: 100 source points."
"One 'noble' person has been successfully captured."
The penultimate level mission was more difficult, allowing Bai Yan to gain two level rewards in one go.
The "a quarter of an hour of strong luck like a god" that he had longed for came out in this way!
Strong luck like a god!
Bai Yan's heart was racing. Of course he knew how powerful this thing was. Unfortunately, it was a one-time use and could not be used without restriction.
"Very good, very good. In this way, we will have one more guarantee to survive the 'first crisis of world destruction'."
Moreover, the source power points once again exceeded 500!
"It's time to draw cards again."
Bai Yan said to himself with complicated emotions.
Chapter 80 The Awakening Soul! New skin!
Just after Bai Yan clicked on the screen, a new settlement appeared.
Yeah, after being fooled, it turns out there is a next page.
