Elemental Magnetic Star

Chapter 131 Journey to the City of Benevolence

Flame Wave finally agreed to go to the Surface Domain, persuaded and "threatened" by Aurum Aspire—if Silver Wolf didn't go, he wouldn't cooperate with him to pressure Silver Tan into searching for the last traces of Jade Thistle's life. Accompanying him was the former lord of the City of Benevolence, Aurelia Leaf.

"Why does the Pavilion Master want me to go too? Does he suspect me?" Aurelia Leaf urgently sought advice from Auric Forest.

"Why are you so anxious? He wouldn't have suspected you, but seeing you like this, it would be hard not to." Auric Forest frowned at Aurelia Leaf.

"Auric Forest, tell me honestly, what is the purpose of the talisman you had me place in the Elixir of Rebirth?" After her term ended, Aurelia Leaf refused to stay in the City of Benevolence. However, over those ten years, under the coercion and enticement of Auric Forest, she had released several "Awakening Talismans" provided by Auric Forest into the Elixir.

After observing repeatedly, she noticed that the infants affected by the "Awakening Talismans" initially had purple eyes for a short period after birth. Although the color disappeared within a few days, it was not hard for the observant to notice.

"Don't worry, whatever it was used for, all traces have been erased by us now. Aurum Aspire and his team won't find anything," Auric Forest stated indifferently.

"Erased?" Aurelia Leaf dared not probe further.

She remembered informing Auric Forest about two City of Benevolence staff members who had privately discussed the infants' purple eyes. Since then, she had taken special care of those special infants, keeping the secret as much as possible. But she never saw those two inquisitive individuals again.

"What are you thinking? Those who disappeared haven't died; I just used a Forgetfulness Talisman on them," Auric Forest scoffed, "Did you really think I was the kind of person who would do anything to achieve my goals, even if it meant taking someone's life?"

Aurelia Leaf was partly relieved by Auric Forest's question, but the half-breath she had let out was caught again, "No, I know you're not that kind of person."

"Never mind, you always say what you don't mean," Auric Forest sighed, "Those who speak the truth have all disappeared."

"Yes, how could those who always tell the truth live long? Just like Rainy Cherry, she turned into dust long ago, yet you still think of her?" Aurelia Leaf's tone sharpened.

Seeing Auric Forest's expression, she knew what he was thinking. Over the years, they had been on and off together, but whenever she saw Auric Forest's nostalgic look, she couldn't help but feel disgusted; seeing the replacements he found made her even more scornful.

"Don't mention her in front of me," Auric Forest said coldly, "You're not worthy."

She wasn't worthy, but was he? Maybe it was the anger, maybe the fear of returning to the City of Benevolence, but Aurelia Leaf didn't stay silent as before, "You're worthy? Do you think your current madness qualifies? Daring to target Silver Wolf's woman. Is he that easy to provoke? You're just looking for a replacement, aren't you? Why does it have to be Silver Wolf's woman?"

Madness? Auric Forest suppressed the anger rising in his chest, not wanting to argue with this madwoman. But... she was the only one he could discuss Rainy Cherry with.

"Have you seen her? That girl named Raina Grace?" He couldn't help but ask, "She really resembles Rainy Cherry a lot, even their names. Her speech and actions seem to be carved from the same mold."

Aurelia Leaf regretted her outburst in front of Auric Forest, knowing she still needed his help. But now it was "endurable to the end."

However, she had to endure.
