The medium was just a couple of steps away, her hand reaching for his head. Alarm bells were ringing inside to warn him of the oncoming danger. Yet his eyes were still speaking to Margarette. Jiang Li wondered. When did the medium's weight in Margarette's heart become greater than his? His wife was standing by that woman's side! Was there something going on behind the scenes that he just didn't know? Everything had been odd in his eyes. Only a few hours ago, he was with the girl and they were okay.…-

Dong Lan never mentioned the fortune-teller to Jiang Li. The option simply never crossed his mind. He never told the other guy, even though he managed to feel her presence just now through the earring she gave him. For him, no matter what happened before… despite suddenly being thrown to another dimension without a warning, the fortune-teller was still a mother figure in his heart. Dong Lan remained someone with integrity, filial piety, and loyalty. As a son, why would he rat his mother out, especially…

Confirmed as an outsider... And suspected to be the one who unnecessarily complicated the plot to an exaggerated degree, Jiang Li had almost killed the king. Yup. Just a few minutes ago, Jiang Li, who had honed his ice magic alongside dark arts, suddenly conjured a sword made out of ice and pointed it to the monarch's neck. Blood even trickled down for a few seconds when its sharp edge sunk a bit into the skin. The middle-aged guy was really caught off-guard by Jiang Li's unexpected show of…

Outside, Agatha looked to be calm and silent as she waited for the two men to come out. It had been half an hour since the door to the room closed, and no change appeared on her face. However, inwardly, she was actually screaming and pulling her hair out of frustration. The eyes of her knights and the king's royal soldiers pinned at her were the only thing stopping her in doing it for real. Deep inside, she really hated how Holon's supreme ruler suddenly went off the script, grabbing the target she wanted…

The king could see through his thoughts it seemed, and explained, "This is something I ordered my craftsmen to make and my best painters to draw. And I can say it has not been easy to create them since the concept is so foreign to the majority. I have to tell everyone in the know that it's just a game card, so they won't accuse me of heresy." "Your Majesty, I'm not someone who enjoyed riddle games. I am just slightly curious about the matter with the Duchess. And the card, what does it have to do with…

'The stupid His Majesty, Francis IV?' Jiang Li's pupils dilated as surprise became barely concealed from his face. The youth found it unbelievable that the highest person of this kingdom went out it in the middle of the dark to see somebody like him instead of getting comfy with his beloved royal consort. Was he so free? And with no regard for his life? As he could see it, there was not a single general accompanying him, and while the knights were stronger than the ones in Agatha's place, they were still…

One fairly known writer and philosopher from Selena's world said that every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day, wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit. Adam was not aware of this quote, but if he was, he would definitely admit that it was true. It was what he had just experienced for himself. "Milady." In between bouts of consciousness after the rounds of torture suffered from Andre Grey's hands, the man called out to Marian. The woman was actually not in the vicinity as the duke…

How would a person react once he finds out the one he was dreaming to save and bring back to his side had suddenly changed? Confused? Heartbroken? Mad? It had only been a few hours since Adam arrived in Holon City and he had been quite cranky due to the toll the journey took them. He found Benedict a real pain to deal with, so he and his men separated from the noble son as soon as they made it to the city gate. The latter had a separate mission from the royal family anyway. Adam and co could no longer be…

After paying several witches, magicians, and noblemen some visits, the rumors about Jiang Li started to spread in the city. 'He is either a ghost or a monster doing some sort of census or espionage', they would say in hushed whispers. Each time, their faces would be wreathed in curiosity, confusion, or fear, either of these three. Like the previous world, the guy chose to not stand out much so only a handful had seen what he looked like. Especially now that his identity was of no social standing…

"AHHHHH!" That high-pitched scream came out of the Duchess' mouth due to extreme shock and fear. Marian was truly spooked out, her heart never prepared to suddenly see her real face coldly looking at her. And it was even in the middle of the night! "Shut up!" said a very familiar voice that made Marian tremble more. The Duchess kept backing away and at one point, her eyes even rolled back to check whether her screams had alerted the armed guards of the manor. As for the newcomer, a disdainful…
