Chapter 156 Burning Fury 651 +5 Free Coins Since Ardenia had to swallow this fury, it was only fair for her to demand something in return. Her mates were all anticipating the beast cores. "Ardenia, please don't speak to me that way," Colin said, his face pale and voice pleading. Ardenia lifted her lashes to meet his gaze, colder than ever. The chill cut straight through Colin. Heat surged in his throat, but he swallowed it down. She wouldn't pity him, so there was no reason to stain her eyes with his emotions. Resolute, Colin squared his shoulders and faced the horned-serpents behind him.
"Give me every beast core you brought." The voice carried authority, a command delivered from a position above them. High and unyielding. This was the real Colin. "Mr. Pierson, you..." Esme froze, realization dawning. Colin hadn't come to defend her. "Mr. Pierson, that sl*t just insulted Esme! How can you not tell right from wrong? And you still want to hand them beast cores? Our divine realm's beast cores are priceless! How could weaklings and trash from the lower realm even hope to handle them?" Eliza Vernon was furious, past caring about etiquette.
Both she and her sister had just endured two harsh slaps. Sl*t? Is she talking about Ardenia? Colin's eyes narrowed, and then a low, sudden laugh escaped him. He turned toward Eliza, his voice dripping mockery. "Who did you just call a sl*t?" Crap. Esme realized her mistake far too late. Eliza jabbed a finger at Ardenia. "Her! She cursed Esme, and her mates attacked us!" Colin smirked, eyes glinting with amusement. "Is that all? They just hit you?" With that, he backhanded Eliza, sending her flying. No one could insult Ardenia. No one! Hiss! Esme's knees buckled as she dropped to the floor.

Something feels wrong Colin actually likes that b*tch? It's not an excuse. This is real. 1/3 12:43 Wed, Jan 21 Chapter 156 Burning Fury พล 51 +5 Free Coins Then what does that make me? Esme's eyes burned red, but she couldn't let herself lose dignity. Hastily, she placed all the beast cores she had on the ground. An elder, sensing danger, hurried to unload everything he carried as well. "Mr. Pierson!" Respect laced the shout, yet Ardenia could still feel Colin's lethal chill rolling off him. "Don't dirty my floor. Leave the goods.
Take your people and settle things behind closed doors." "Impudent!" Two elders behind Colin couldn't accept it. This female hails from the lower lands, her beast form only a silver wolf-an ogre among ogres. How dare she speak to Mr. Pierson like this? This is unbelievable! Colin blinked. "Did you two think I was dead?" Colin turns around, and before the words even finish, he throws a heavy punch. The elder who spoke is caught completely off guard, taking the full force and spitting a mouthful of old blood onto the floor. "Who told you it was acceptable to talk about her that way?
Who?" After striking, Colin dropped to one knee in front of Ardenia, his voice raw with regret. "I apologize. I lost control." Ardenia didn't respond. She simply extended her hand. Someone had clearly misunderstood. The anger in Colin's eyes softened; the icy glare melted in an instant. He looked at her hand and leaned his cheek against it. Niall frowned. What an eyesore. Smack! Ardenia struck him. "I want my compensation." Vesper handed her a beast-hide handkerchief at just the right moment. See? She is genuinely disgusted with you... "Mr.
Pierson!" "Step back!" Colin barked, dispersing his men. Esme sensed the shift in the room and quickly placed all the beast cores on the ground. Not many-just nine overflowing baskets. 2/3 12:43 Wed, Jan Chapter 156 Burning Fury 51 +5 Free Coins Quincy timed it perfectly. The moment Ardenia requested the goods, he rushed to the back kitchen for hampers. Halden and Tobias helped him carry a few extra-large ones. There was no reason to refuse the compensation-they fully deserved it. Every beast core was top quality. Absorbing even one could boost someone several levels.
No wonder divine-realm elites looked down on everyone. In the Demon Abyss, nothing of this caliber existed. Quincy packed the cores, a grin tugging at his mouth he couldn't hide. Watching him, Colin sidled closer, eager to serve. Pride, temper, dignity-he cast them all aside. He simply wanted to be near her. Colin didn't understand why he felt like this, as if enchanted. He craved her touch, her scent, her presence. He loved her like a madman, enough to kneel even before his own men. "Ardenia, I understand. I was wrong..." He didn't finish. Ardenia was already walking away.
Vesper and Niall flanked her, one on each side, chatting and laughing. Ardenia laughed like a blooming flower, holding tightly to Niall with playful affection. She was gentle with everyone-except him. To him, her words and eyes remained always cold. 3/3 ? 3.51 Liam Prescott
