“For safety reasons, it’s better to let her wear it. Don’t allow problems to ur just because of a


    woman,” The Swordsman advised.


    Duncan looked at Mireille helplessly as she immediately hung the talisman around her neck. Instantly,


    her eyes went from white to ck, and the sweet smile on her face gradually stiffened. She stood


    next to Duncan like a lifeless shell.


    Peter chuckled. “Duncan, you don’t need to worry. You can remove the talisman once we kill Nash.


    Now, you can ask her any questions and she will reply with the truth!”


    Duncan sighed and smiled bitterly before turning to Mireille and asking, “Do you like me?”


    Mireille nodded gently. “A bit…”


    A smile lit Duncan’s face while at the same time, his eyes filled with


    guilt. “Did youe for the Eight-Part Scepter?” he asked again


    Mireille shook her head. “No, I just happened to pass by the D


    Vi and wanted to find someone to chat with to pass the time.


    Duncan finally rxed. He looked at Peter and said, “I’ll take of talisman now. I love her, and I don’t


    want her to be a soull


    shell!”


    Peter narrowed his eyes. “Wait until we kill Nash, then you can take i


    off.”


    Even Boris chimed in, “He’s right, Duncan. She’s your woman. Peter


    wouldn’t hurt her.”


    Duncan sighed helplessly. For so long, his godfathers had obeyed him without question. He realized he


    should not defy their wishes.


    Peter walked to the coffee table, took out the Eight-Part Scepter from the drawer, and handed it to


    Duncan. “Take this scepter for self- defense. You can only unleash one-tenth of its power since you


    don’t fully grasp its usage. However, it’s enough to deal with martial artists


    in the Profound Reality Realm!”


    The scepter’s instructions were in Paganish. Even after studying for several hours, he did not


    Duncan took the package, his demeanor once againposed. “Let’s


    go!”


    Peter and the others stood up and walked out. Duncan held Mireille’s


    cold hand and softly said, “Mireille, I’m sorry. As soon as Nash is


    dead, I’ll remove the talisman.”


    Mireille nodded mechanically. On the surface, it did not look like anything was wrong. However, she


    was sneering on the inside. powerful individuals were not very smart for revealing the funct


    the talisman.


    The protective talisman Master Eric gave her had worked. Beforeing to the Duerson family,


    Angelica had informed her about powerful and sinister Path taker who had joined the Duerson famil


    Later, As insisted that she carry the talisman with her.


    To prevent the Path taker from discovering the talisman, she wrapped it in a type of digestible herbal


    paste and then swallowed it. It was perhaps due to the talisman in her stomach that it could not


    felt an overall chill run through her body as her memories turned hazy.


    Outside the Duerson Vi, rows of ck cars were parked. When the head of the security team saw


    three Rolls-Royce pull out, he


    immediately spoke into his earpiece, “We can depart now!”


    Leading the way were over 30 ck cars, followed by three Rolls-


    Royces, and behind them, another thirty-plus cars. Finally, a small


    cargo truck brought up the rear, carrying a well-crafted sandalwood


    coffin.


    Duncan, Boris, and Mireille were in the same car. Duncan held Mireille


    in his arms, using his warmth to keep her body temperature up.


    Meanwhile, Mireille pondered how to get hold of the Eight-Part Scepter and escape from Duncan’s


    control.


    “Duncan, you must keep a close eye on the Eight-Part Scepter. Don’t


    let it fall to Nash or his group!”


    In the end, their greatest trump card was the ghoul overlord while the Eight-Part Scepter could counter


    the ghoul overlord. If it fell into their hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    “Don’t worry, Godfather. I’ve recruited enough warriors during this time. I’ve also grasped how to use


    the Eight-Part Scepter somewhat. As long as they’re not Mystique Loyalty Realm experts, no one will


    be able to take the scepter.”


    Duncan took out a silk scarf from his pocket that was covered in


    Paganish writing and said with a smile, “There are still some parts left that I haven’tmitted to


    memory. Once I fully remember them, I’ll

    burn it!”


    A glimmer of rity shed in the depths of Mireille’s pitch-ck


    eyes. Her eyeballs slowly moved downward as she joined the man in reading the Paganish script on


    the silk scarf.
