With King now in control of Lucy's body, he was vocalizing himself through her.
Horrified by the ghoulish sight, Sheldon's father got up to flee.
Unfortunately, his weak condition didn't permit him to do so. He had barely stood up when he crashed back onto
the ground, grimacing in pain.
King shot him a glare and sneered, “You are mine. There's no way you can escape unless my consciousness
disappears. However, that just isn't going to happen.”
Outside the door, Sheldon had heard everything including Lucy's terrified screams, King's insidious laugh, and his
father's pleas.
In spite of that, he had no intention of saving his father.
Firstly, doing so would mean certain death, for he believed he was no match for King.
Secondly, he endeavored to become an immortal, and only King could grant him his wish.
He murmured to himself, “Dad, you have lived a long life, and it should already be enough. Hence, please go in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpeace. Nevertheless, I promise you that once I become an immortal, I will revive you no matter the cost.”
With that, he turned and left.
After all, accomplishing the tasks that King had given him was still paramount.
Zeke, Rhett, I will kill you for foiling my plans!
Meanwhile, Zeke felt an energy disturbance inside his body all of a sudden, signaling to him that Sheldon and the
Kush Clan had made contact.
Given that Zeke had injected Sheldon with a burst of energy before, he was able to detect any interaction the latter
had with other races.
Without a moment's hesitation, he left home in search of Sheldon.
Not long after he was gone, Sheldon arrived.
After checking the surroundings and making sure there was no one around, he took out a small bottle and opened
its cap.
From within the bottle, a phantom floated out.
Obviously, the phantom wasn't King but the subordinate he sent to help Sheldon out on his mission.
Consequently, Sheldon named him Goran.
He whispered, “Goran, go and carry out the plan.”
Understood!
Nodding in acknowledgment, he floated into the house through the main door.
Inside the expansive living hall, Amelia was engrossed in playing blocks by herself.
She didn't notice that Goran had floated right up to her face.
Cracking an insidious smile, Goran entered her body.
The very next second, Amelia's body was briefly jolted while her eyes lost their sparkle.
As her hands stopped fiddling with the blocks, she scanned her surroundings until Zeke's jacket on the sofa caught
her attention.
Walking over, she tore the pocket from the jacket, causing a tearing sound to ring out.
When Madeline, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the commotion, she asked immediately, “Amelia, what's that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsound?”
Amelia answered in an emotionless tone, “It's nothing.”
Madeline inquired, “What's wrong with your throat, Amelia?”
“It's really nothing.” Her voice was just as frosty still.
Madeline questioned, “You silly gal, have you been eating something behind my back?”
Amelia didn't respond. Instead, she grabbed Zeke's torn pocket, walked up to the door, opened it, and handed it to
Sheldon outside.
Ecstatic over his haul, Sheldon received the pocket and fled with Goran, who left Amelia's body at once.
When Amelia finally regained her consciousness, she looked around while still in a daze.
Wh-What just happened?
She felt as if she had just woken up and couldn't recall how she got where she was.
Nevertheless, she didn't think much of it, for she was just a child. After returning to her blocks, she went back to
playing with them.
Having left Emma's house, Sheldon hurried back to Haleton Hotel where Rhett was staying.
