Chapter 560: Chapter 447: You’re Not Human, Are You?
Archie was nowhere to be found, but Flora Bloom wasn’t worried. With his power, he was practically a zombie king on Earth.
Just as she landed in the forest of the Morhaven base on the back of her Golden Crow, she suddenly felt a chill creep up her spine.
An ice arrow materialized behind her.
The arrow was a manifestation of an Ice Ability, not a physical weapon. Flora Bloom didn’t turn. She simply jumped off the Golden Crow and kept walking.
The ice arrow halted just before it could strike her back, then melted into a puddle that seeped into the ground, absorbed by the surrounding plants.
’So, it was a Nebula Level Ice Ability User.’
’Nebula Level... That meant they were an outsider. And to be inside Morhaven, they had to be from the Cross family.’
At Flora Bloom’s command, the Golden Crow silently flew back to the golden parasol tree. This was its territory; no beast would be foolish enough to trespass here and court death.
"Huh? Where did she go?" An Ice Ability User stepped out from behind a tree, searching for any trace of Flora Bloom. "I definitely saw a woman get off that Golden Crow. How did she just vanish?"
Enveloped by a shroud of mist, Flora Bloom had vanished before the man’s eyes. When she reappeared, her hand was already gripping the Nebula Level Ice Ability User’s neck. Her face was a mask of indifference.
"Why the sneak attack?"
"You... who the hell are you! I’ve never seen you before!"
Flora Bloom paused for a moment, then snapped, "You’ve never seen me before, yet you dare attack me? Who gave you the nerve!"
Hunting parties in the forest noticed the commotion by the parasol tree and began to move closer. Normally, there were no large beasts in this area, just a few harmless wild rabbits and pheasants, so people tended to stay away.
Now, they saw a familiar figure with her back to them, one hand holding a superpower user they wouldn’t normally dare provoke in a chokehold. They all settled in to watch the show.
"You... let me go! Do you have any idea who I am?! If you don’t, I’ll tell my young mistress, and you’ll be in for a world of hurt!"
Flora Bloom smirked. "Oh? By all means, take me to this mistress of yours. I’d love to see just how she plans to make me face a world of hurt!"
Just then, a tall man pushed through the crowd and strode quickly toward Flora Bloom.
"Good grief, girl! You’re finally back!"
Flora Bloom turned her head and saw that the tall man before her was a High-level Earth Ability User. With that height and those sharp, lean features, she was sure she had never seen him before.
But that voice was all too familiar.
"Old Monroe? Is that... you?"
Ethan Monroe scratched the back of his head, laughing awkwardly. "I, uh, slimmed down after reaching High-level. Don’t know how that happened. Heh. Anyway, enough about that! Come on, let’s get you back. Your parents and your daughter have really been missing you!"
Hearing their conversation, the man in her grasp suddenly turned pale.
"You... you’re Flora Bloom?"
Flora Bloom narrowed her eyes. "I am."
"You’re the Young Master’s wife?"
"’Wife?’" Flora Bloom paused to think. "You mean Lex Cross? Strictly speaking, not yet. But I guess you could say that."
Ethan Monroe looked at the man, his brow furrowing. "You again! How many times does this make? Are you not going to stop until you’ve bullied everyone in the base? Let’s go, Flora Bloom. We just need to take him to their person in charge. The old man will deal with him."
However, after Flora Bloom dragged the man to this "Uncle Graham," she suddenly felt distinctly uncomfortable.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable being surrounded by a group of people, each one staring at you with eyes as wide as saucers.
"I brought him, Uncle Graham. How do you want to handle this?" Ethan Monroe’s expression was calm, but Flora Bloom could see the uncertainty in his eyes.
Graham Cross glanced at the man before him. "You again?"
"Uncle Graham, I didn’t do it on purpose! How was I supposed to know she was the Young Master’s woman! Please, let me off the hook just this once!"
