Chapter 228 When the incident happened earlier .
Rafael pointed directly at your house for a moment .
That was when you should have been threatening him from the shadows .
And when I set up the formation at his place that day , you made your move as well If Francis hadnt mentioned it to me , telling me that the stone wasnt where Ed left it , I probably wouldnt have suspected you at all .
Odalys spoke coldly , her voice sharp .
So , they finally started telling the truth , but it was mixed with half truths and lies .
When I came to the village .
I caught the scent of your house , which was similar to the smell of the clothes in the Stewart familys pond .
That means that piece of clothing belonged to your grandson .
the old man like a Your grandson is dead , and you altered his clothes before sending them to Percivals father , Odalys said , her words striking th hummer .
The old man shuddered as his body trembled , staring at her as if he could bore a hole through her with his gaze .
If you hada meddled with things you shouldnt have , maybe none of this would have happened , and I wouldnt have suspected you , Odalys added .
you came back twice as strong Your things , they completely counteract the medicine I gave you .
So just now , the illness I healed in yo I dont know what youre talking about , the old man growled , stubborn to the end .
Odalys didnt respond to him but turned to Callum .
Were going to dig up his familys tomb .
Callum said , turning immediately to get a shovel .
Hearing the words dig up the tomb , the old man was taken aback .
He scrambled to his feet , but his hand , still weakened from earlier , trembled uselessly as he tried to point at her .
You dare … he spat , glaring at Odalys .
Odalys took a step forward , standing face to face with him .
Her eyes flashed with cold fury as she locked her gaze with his .
You dared to use your dead familys clothes to harm others .
What makes you think Id be afraid to do anything ? ie retribution looks like today , Odalyss voice was laced with Ive warned you about karma .
Did you think I was joking ? Let me show you The Venom .
With that , she turned and walked out .
The old man , stumbling in his desperation , tried to stop her , but with several men by her side , they swiftly located the tomb .
Before he could stop them , they had already begun to d dig Stop ! No ! the old man cried , rushing forward, only to watch in horror as Odalys threw a talisman into the grave , causing a burst of flames .
The tomb exploded , shattering the coffin , and everything inside turned to dust .
The old mans eyes rolled back , and he nearly fainted from disbelief .
He couldnt fathom how Odalys could be so ruthless .
Now that the tomb is destroyed , the wicked energy in the Stewart familys pond will dissipate .
All the things they buried to lay the groundwork for your fathers plans are now useless , Odalys murmured .
Percival , standing behind her , felt something shift within him .
As the explosion rocked the ground , he felt a strange lightness , as though something oppressive had been lifted .
It was an odd sensation , but undeniably freeung- Damn , so this man killed his wife , daughter in law , and grandson .
Then he tried to use his grandsons wicked energy to harm the Stewart family .
didnt he ? Orson finally pieced it together No wonder Odalys and Percival had insisted on returning here .
But why did his son get poisoned ? Why were his tendons severed ! Callum was still confused .
If they were the ones behind all this , then what about these other things ? His son got poisoned simply from long term exposure to those toxic dyes , Odalys e severed them explained coldly .
As for his tendons , Rafael is the one who 18 : Chapter 228 Theyre both pawns for someone else , she continued , her gaze narrowing .
But when it comes to the Stewart family , he certainly had his e motives .
The power and influence of the Stewart family tempted him , so he let his personal desires bleed into his dealings with them .
The clothes his grandson wore after death , soaked in the familys wicked energy once his plans succeeded , their descendants would be blessed with the Stewart familys fortune .
This is the so called stolen fortune : They were attempting to steal the Stewart familys hick , and once that happened , their descendants would to power , Odalys added .
Callum still didnt fully understand But that doesnt mean he should kill his own family , right ? he asked , baffled .
Percival shot him a sharp look , as if he couldnt believe the question .
Callum felt a chill down his spine and instinctively drew in a breath .
Killing his own family ensures that the hatred and resentment are stronger .
The greater the resentment , the easier it is to harm others while benefiting oneself Percival explained succinctly .
rise Odalys gave him an approving glance .
The heavier the resentiment , the easier it is to use that power to destroy others while boosting your own family Too bad he didnt know how to use it properly .
Rafael and he must be at odds two families destroying each other .
In the end , they both lose everything she added , shaking her head lightly came out .
The old mans lips moved , but no words came So , the ones who hurt the Stewart family were them ? Orsons handsome face twisted with rage .
Odalys glanced back at the destroyed tomb , her footsteps steady as she turned to leave .
They were just pawns in someone elses game .
And the ones using them also had their own agenda , slipping in some personal gain while carrying out their tasks Percival followed her closely , and as he did , the unsettling pressure in his chest finally vanished .
Odalys , Percival called softly .
She didnt turn to him but answered , What is it ? Earlier , when we were near here , I felt the poison churning inside me .
But now , that sensation has completely gone .
Why is that ? he asked .
She didnt even glance at him but explained as she walked , The poison in you is similar to what we dug up just now , but yours has been altered .
* You sensed something familiar , so your body reacted .
I sealed it with the talisman , which suppressed it , Odalys explained , her tone neutral .
suddenly swept by As they walked , a gust of wind Out of nowhere , a giant snake slithered toward them at breakneck speed .
Percivals tall frame quickly stepped in front of Odalys , shielding her from the oncoming creature Im leaving Odalys said , glancing back over her shoulder at the massive serpent .
The snake paused in its tracks , staring at her for a moment , as if understanding her words .
* Tll make sure to avenge you , Odalys promised softly .
Η The snake , after hearing her , suddenly lunged toward Percival .
His eyes narrowed , and just as its head was about to strike , he clenched his fist , ready for the impact .
The snake stopped abruptly , turned its head , and slithered off into the woods , disappearing in the blink of an eye .
Seems like it has a soft spot for you , Percival said with a quiet laugh The snakes actions had been a clear warning , and though it hadnt spoken , its intentions were obvious .
Dont try anything with me , Odalys teased .
Otherwise , itll be coming after you next .
As they walked back , the bodyguards had arrived .
The village was under their control .
The old man any leaks to the outside world his son were bound and stuffed into a car , while the others were kept under watch to prevent
