The manor was bustling with vigor and excitement. Tomorrow was the day of the coronation of Adella as the Head of the Callisto family.

A black car slowly parked infront of the manor. The door opened revealing a pair of longs legs in high heels. Adella took off her sunglasses as she looked at the preparations.

Her father and grandfather were both dead and the current head is her grandmother. Well to be precise the second wife of her grandfather, mother of her half-uncle.

She knew they lusted for her wealth, her status, cause they weren't qualified to take any of them. She was the only one to inherit the will, her grandfather secured with the strongest lawyers.

However that certainly never stopped their conspiracies and attempts on her life. Adella looked at the green veins in her wrist. The poison has almost reached her heart, she didn't have much time. Today she will make them all pay...with their lives.

The whole family gathered in the dining room. Today only the main branches were present for the family gathering.

Adella entered the room as everyone stood up at her arrival except the grandmother and her half uncle. Disrespectful bastards. "Take your seats."

However she knew very well that no one here truly wanted her to be the head of the family. They were all wolves waiting for her blood and flesh. The water of Callisto family is very dark and deep.

The servants quickly served the food in orders. The appetizers were served and a bowl of bird nest soup was placed infront of her. "Little girl, you have been tired recently. Grandma personally ordered this bird nest to nourish you."

Adella smelled the soup lightly immediately detecting the poison. Seems like they have been impatient cause the dose has been increased again. Perhaps the coronation ceremony tomorrow for the title of duke has made them hasty for her life.

Callisto has been an ancient family in country E with the title of duke first bestowed upon them by the King Leon Castiel XIV in the 16th century.

Suddenly the poison in her body overwhelmed her and Adella caughed up a mouthful of dark blood. "Adella!" Everyone jumped up, acting concerned.

Adella wiped the blood trickling from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed lightly. "Don't act all concerned now. The fake emotions on your faces make me nauseous."

Everyone looked shocked for a moment before a calmness returned on their faces. They were no longer bothered to keep up the act. Besides looking at Adella's condition it was already certain that she won't live for long and the poison has no antidote.

"Heh! Since you already know everything, you better hand over the jade pendent to us. Perhaps then we will be benevolent enought to leave you with a whole corpse." Her half uncle said viciously.

The jade pendent was the token of the King to the first Duke of Callisto. Her grandpa had directly handed it to her before he died.

However the jade pendent had a secret that only the heads of the family are qualified to know. The jade pendent has a space that has been bound to the main bloodline of the family. It was mysterious space that can store anything.

She had researched about this, however the only thing that matches was the novels and fictions. However there was no spiritual spring and no farmlands with heaven defying fruits, no space spirits and no cultivation skills left behind by ancestors.

After she got the space, she found that most of her ancestors only used it to store valuables. There were ancient books with lost knowledge and scientific discoveries that helped her a lot. No wonder the heirs and heiresses of the family are all genius that make huge achievements in different fields.

Of course she also had to give her hard work and dedication to achieve them. Afterall even if one has the best resources if not utilized properly it would be useless in the end.

Her only regret was that such a amazing thing would be buried with her today and can no longer be passed on. Adella softly felt the remote in her pocket through her clothes.

"Jade pendent? I am afraid I can't give you that. You are not qualified." Adella mocked. "Since I am dying, why don't you accompany me to hell?"

"Damm girl! What are you talking-"

The voice was cut short with Adella smile that promised destruction with a sense of insanity as she pressed a button on the remote.

With a loud explosion, everything in the 100 miles was doomed into nothing. The vibrations shook cities and towns miles away like a high magnitude earthquake.

Only one thought flashed in everyone's mind, "The greatest trick that the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he doesn't exist.

And here Adella was the devil and they were her captured souls who roamed in her palms."
