Lewis's expression turned sour. "Although I am old, I still have many years ahead of me. Choose your words carefully, Simone. Think twice before speaking."
As long as he could continue absorbing and converting life force into longevity, he could outlive this stubborn girl.
Simone shrugged, "If you have to rely on absorbing other people's life force to sustain your own, then it's true that you still have many days left. But what about karma? Do you really believe you can escape it?" Having caused harm to so many families and individuals, this old man's retribution would be miserable.
Lewis's face darkened, "Simone, I don't know what you're talking about. I live an upright life and walk the right path. I'm not afraid of so-called karma." At this moment, he was certain that this stubborn girl knew about his actions. That was why she had been pressuring him all along. However, he was a bit puzzled as to why the stubborn girl would be so straightforward about it. If it were him, he would definitely pretend to be oblivious. Then, he would engage with the other party and strike at the opportune moment.
But since she already knew about his actions and had guessed that he was the one manipulating her from behind the scenes, he would definitely not let her off. Young people are impulsive, after all.
If Simone knew what he was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes and mock him. Did she not know that if she hadn't guessed it, he would let her go? Since he wouldn't let her go anyway, and now that she had the strength to confront him, why would she choose to endure and suppress herself? Simone chuckled. "You are indeed formidable. If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. You are truly skilled in deception." Then she changed the subject, "Enough with the nonsense; let's get back to the original topic."
"You want to help Elbert break the curse, and although you require treasures like the spiritual stone as compensation, I don't find you trustworthy. You carry the token given by the renowned great warlock, so it's easy for you to lure out the curse. But who knows if you will do something to Elbert and cause trouble in the future?"
She looked at him meaningfully and continued, "After all, the transfer of this curse from Elbert's body is thanks to you and your disciple."
Since they had a falling out and exposed their true intentions, she no longer needed to hold back and could freely confront him. The reason why she deliberately revealed that she recognized his identity was to provoke him and disrupt his original plan.
With the temperament of this old man, he would want to kill Simone, but the possibility of him taking action is minimal. After all, the more someone valued their life, the more they feared death and became cautious.
But he couldn't let her continue to be arrogant and grow; otherwise, it would be detrimental to his plans and himself. The only option was to quickly find that great warlock to deal with her. And her seemingly arrogant and impulsive behavior today was actually setting a trap for the old man.
After that great warlock arrived, it was uncertain who would be dealt with.
Lewis was infuriated again. What do you mean I'm up to no good again? For so many years, it was the first time he was publicly humiliated like this.
He frowned and said, "Nonsense, I don't know any great warlock, so how can there be any collusion?" He gave her a warning glance, "Simone, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't hold back."
Simone crossed her arms and arrogantly raised an eyebrow, "What will you do? Do you think I'm afraid? And you're the president of the geomancy association, while that great warlock is the representative of the mystical arts in the country of Wocron. Yet, you claim that you don't know each other. Do you not find this statement suspicious? You're really incompetent as the president."
Mr. Lewis: "..." This brat is good at nitpicking. He had to deny colluding with the great warlock, which was why he said that.
Lewis choked. "You!" He almost forgot that this stubborn girl had already joined the special department. This sharp-tongued girl is really difficult to deal with. And she's so gloomy; why does she always bring up the limited lifespan? "You have a biased misunderstanding of me, and I don't want to get entangled with you." He glanced at the people from the Johnston Family, "Now I just want to ask, do you want Elbert's curse to be lifted?" This girl talks too much. I can't argue with her at all. Let's just negotiate the terms directly.
Seeing this, Salma said, "This is a matter for the Johnston Family. Why are you asking Simone?" What spell did she put them under for them to listen to her so much?
