The owner of the medal?

Milly was completely baffled this time. Why do all these inanimate objects need to have
owners?
The bracelet was like this, and now the medal too. Were they mass–produced or something?
Instead of continuing to ponder such questions, she was more curious about something deeper.
“Does this medal have any special meaning?”
When Commander Scathings gave her the medal, he didn’t say anything about it. She had always thought it was just an ordinary medal with some honour attached to it, but now it seemed like there was more to it.
Lucius didn’t answer directly. Instead, he looked at her deeply and said, “You don’t need to know. Just know that this medal is yours, and it will always be.
“As for the rest, you don’t need to worry about it.
“Maybe you’ll understand everything later.”
Milly sighed.
Then what the hell are you talking about?
If you’re not going to tell me the secret, just don’t say anything. Teasing me with half–baked info is just frustrating.
Great, another mystery to add to the pile.
After Milly walked away, a flash of chilling malice suddenly appeared in Lucius’s eyes, devoid of any warmth.
He then slowly walked over to the red flower that Milly had praised earlier, reaching out to
Se it with his fingers, like a wild wolf tenderly caressing
its newborn cub, soft and gentle.
Suddenly, a breeze blew by, causing the red flower to slip from his fingertips and

terrifying, emanating a chilling light.

The next second, he grabbed the vibrant flower with his large hand and crushed it slowly. The delicate petals were instantly destroyed, and reddish sap oozed from his palm to the ground, pooling together and looking like blood.
Lucius looked at the red juice on his hand and smiled, clearly pleased.
“Milly said you were really beautiful. But something this pretty gets tainted when seen by others, so it’s best to destroy it, right?”
It seemed like he was talking to himself, but also like he was talking to the flower.
He slowly opened his hand, looking at the crushed remains of the flower, a glint of excitement flashing in his dark eyes. In the next moment, he raised his hand and put the flower remnants into his mouth, chewing slowly as if savouring a fine delicacy.
His Adam’s apple moved as he swallowed the remnants.
“In this world, Milly should only praise me.” His voice was hoarse, and with the red flower juice on his lips, he looked like a bloodthirsty demon.
Meanwhile, in Nlirone.
George had been running non–stop for three days without a moment’s rest. Now, he sat in the leader’s seat of the Shadow Palace, feeling completely worn out, listening to his subordinates‘ reports.
Suddenly, his phone chimed urgently with a series of “ding ding ding” sounds.
He raised his hand to silence his subordinates, then took out his phone to check the screen.
It was his grandfather calling.
He took a deep breath, trying to sound as calm as possible before answering the phone, “Hello, Grandpa, what’s up?”
As soon as Andrew heard him pick up, he immediately launched into a tirade, “Where are you? You’re neither at the office nor at home. Where on earth have you

George rubbed his forehead and replied, “I’m abroad, attending an important meeting that requires my presence.”
“Meeting, meeting, meeting! Are you going to spend your whole life in meetings? You’re going to lose your wife at this rate!” Andrew said indignantly.
George hesitated, sensing something wrong, and got straight to the point, “Has something happened to Milly?”
This didn’t sit right with him. He had made sure to ask Danny to keep an eye on Milly’s safety. If there was any danger, he couldn’t have missed it.
His grandfather, noticing his concern, scoffed, “Hmph! Now you’re worried. Do you know today is Milly’s first day of school? You haven’t even shown up to see her or bring a back–to–school gift.”
George was taken aback. “First day of school?”
He had completely forgotten about it.
When Andrew heard his tone, he thought George didn’t think the matter was important and might not come back. He quickly explained and urged him, “The first day of school is a big deal, you know? It’s a milestone in life, and you should at least show some support! Plus, you’re Milly’s fiancé, so you should be setting an example.
“And the most important thing is that Milly topped the national exams and made the news! People online are praising her beauty and intelligence. You need to be aware of this!”
George, feeling worn out, simply responded with a tired “Hmm.”
Hearing George’s indifferent response, his grandfather exploded, “Hmm? What do you mean by “hmm‘? I’m telling you, don’t take this lightly. Recently, Thomas took his grandson to the Burnett’s residence. I heard his grandson was very attentive to Milly.
“Hmph! He must have ulterior motives, trying to steal your girl. Let me tell you, if
up, I’ll kick you out of the family and hand over Tate Group to
you mess this Lucky!”

George thought about that teenager around Milly’s age, squinting his eyes with a hint of danger flickering in them.
The Scathings‘ grandson, Lucius Scathings?
“Okay, Grandpa, got it. I’ll head back.”
His grandfather breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his assurance. “Great, that’s great. Don’t forget to bring a nice gift, and make sure you come back for sure. Our reputation is at stake, you know?”
George absentmindedly muttered another “Hmm” before hanging up the phone.
Scarface saw him hang up the phone before slowly speaking, “Master, it’s clear that the Ghost Sect is preparing for a decisive move. It’s safer for you to stay here in Shadow Palace. Going alone would be too dangerous.”
George’s eyes were bloodshot, his dark circles tinged with exhaustion, emanating a chilling aura of seriousness.
“Since when do my orders need your approval?
“Keep an eye on the Ghost Sect from Shadow Palace. If they trespass onto our turf, don’t bother reporting. Just eliminate them without mercy.”
