In the silent valley, Ronan moved swiftly like a ghost.

His excellent physical condition and night vision allowed him to move with ease.

Although he heard the sound of the off-road vehicle stopping outside the valley, he was in no hurry, calmly searching for a suitable location.

"Fortunately, the Earl's family is wealthy."

He tightly gripped the Primal Stone in his hand, feeling a bit excited.

Soon, he found a suitable hiding spot.

It was behind a large rock.

Ronan hid there, his right hand tightly holding the Primal Stone, while his left hand suddenly made a strange gesture.

He let out a low murmur.

A faint green light suddenly appeared on his body surface.

This was Primal Force!

And in the dictionary of the Wizard Alliance in the Western Star Region, this power was called magic!

In the universe, there were Primal Stones, which formed the basis of all power and technology.

In the Eastern Star Region ruled by the Steel Empire, Primal Stone mines were abundant. Relying on the Advanced Primal Force Extraction Technology left behind by the Kindling Tome, mechs, spaceships, and even private armed equipment could possess terrifying power. Primal Force was so important; it was the most significant source of energy for the Empire!

However, humans could not directly extract Primal Force. They could only extract it through various instruments, converting it into electricity or using it as a crude and fierce energy source.

Those who could directly extract Primal Force were called Wizards.

Ronan's mother was a Wizard.

The Wizard Alliance and the Steel Empire had deep-seated grudges, so she died.

When Ronan was very young, he underwent countless strict tests. Only after it was confirmed that he had no Wizard potential was he allowed to live. Otherwise, even Crescent Prison wouldn't have room for him.

But he knew, from the day he was born, he knew.

He was actually a Wizard too.

It was just that his abilities had been sealed by his mother using a peculiar method.

And with the help of that annoying guy.

Although currently in a state of slumber due to energy depletion, the intelligent life form named Noah was one of Ronan's most significant relies for surviving in Crescent Prison.

Noah was that pocket watch. His voice was annoying, but he was Ronan's only friend so far.

A faint green glow was slowly extracted from the Primal Stone, entering Ronan's body and becoming a part of him.

He could feel a powerful vitality permeating every cell in his body.

This vitality could be extracted at any time and transformed into the witchcraft that people in the Eastern Star Region regarded as demonic and strange!

"I can't leave any traces..."

Ronan deeply understood the importance of hiding his identity.

Even in this situation, he could not expose his identity as a Wizard.

Footsteps were already coming from outside the valley. The spell Silent Listening, personally solidified by his mother for him, was constantly helping him avoid danger.

Three people, probably no heavy weapons.

Due to the radiation of the Primal Stone, the assassins were likely attracted to Ronan.

This way, at least the little girl would be safe.

Ronan gently let out a sigh of relief.

The next second, he grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, his expression extremely serious.

He glanced at the sky and murmured in a low voice:

"Can the rain get heavier?"

Inside Yi Lin Manor. The lights were bright.

In the Earl's study, the young butler lowered his eyes submissively: "My lord, at the first moment of receiving the alarm, I have already dispatched Chi Feng and Xiao Long. They are expected to arrive at the scene within three minutes and will ensure the safety of Miss Wei Wei and Young Master Ronan."

Earl Will stood there, imposing without being angry.

"In recent years, they all think I'm old."

"Do you think so too?"

The young butler was a little surprised.

He had entered Yi Lin Manor three months ago and considered himself mature and somewhat shrewd. But in front of this Earl, who had always been inscrutable, he always felt very apprehensive.

His daughter and nephew were ambushed by assassins, and the opponent used anti-material weapons... In such a situation, he wasn't flustered at all!

Was he too heartless or was there another reason?

The young man didn't know.

He simply answered truthfully, "People always get old, but an old Earl is still an Earl."

He felt this answer deserved a perfect score. It wasn't overly flattering, yet it praised Earl Will with grace.

Hearing this, the Earl smiled, a rare occurrence. "Kant values you so much, there's a reason for it after all."

Kant was the old butler of Yi Lin Manor, now close to ninety years old. The young man was personally brought to the manor by him. At only twenty-eight, he was already the butler of the most prominent manor in this star region. This honor was enough for the young man to be proud.

He nodded slightly. "I was just speaking the truth."

"But then again, this time, they've truly crossed the line."

His meaning was clear. The Li Family had crossed the line.

The ability to possess heavy weapons and dispatch an elite team to infiltrate the heavily guarded Bo Ning District – such power was unmatched in the Emerald Star Region.

Earl Will said calmly, "Take this letter and deliver it to that old man in Office No. 8 of the Investigation Bureau. Tell him I want him to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Thoroughly investigate this matter!

The young man's body trembled, naturally understanding the weight of those four words!

Was this a direct declaration of war against the Li Family?

Was the Earl really so reckless?

Was Miss Wei Wei truly that important in the Earl's heart – important enough to gamble the fate of the entire family?

However, on this matter, he didn't have much say.

He simply took the letter in silence and quickly left the study.

The Earl sat down alone in silence.

The young man thought he was enraged and decided to confront the Li Family because Wei Wei was his weak spot, and the Li Family had repeatedly tested his limits, finally hitting a forbidden zone this time.

But in reality, although he doted on Wei Wei, it wasn't to that extent.

He knew very well that those assassins would kill everyone around Wei Wei, but they would never kill Wei Wei herself. They would keep her as a hostage.

Only then could Yi Lin Manor truly be disgraced.

This was an unspoken rule among nobles. If something truly happened to Wei Wei, the Li Family would definitely face the Earl's desperate counterattack, and they wouldn't necessarily come out on top.

So he wasn't worried about Wei Wei's life being in danger.

What enraged him was someone else.

"No matter what, you are always the General's son, the Madam's son."

"If the Li Family dares to harm you in the slightest, I will make the entire Red Hat Snake Family pay for it!"

"What mecha genius Li Nanbei, before he truly grows up, he's just a greenhorn."

The Earl looked coldly out the window. In the distance, the light rain had turned into heavy rain, falling in torrents.

The heavy rain was thick and dense.

The dense forest under the autumn rain rustled with a chilling sound.

The girl hid alone in a cold tree hollow. Water streamed down from the tree canopy, splashing a circle of beautiful water around her.

She was very scared.

Her mind was filled with the image of Ronan's back as he walked alone towards that valley.

So much so that when she was trembling and hiding in the tree hollow, watching those two terrifying steel monsters descend on either side of the hollow, she didn't react at all!

"Miss Wei Wei! We're here!"

A familiar and steady voice came from the mobile armor.

"Please don't worry, the criminal with the heavy weapon has been killed by us."

From the other mecha, the voice of another acquaintance came.

Chi Feng and Xiao Long, both Level 8 mecha pilots, the ace powerhouses of Yi Lin Manor!

The moment they received the driver's alarm, they set off.

By tracking the device on Wei Wei, they quickly found the girl.

They were relieved to see that Wei Wei didn't seem to be injured, just a little dazed.

One of the mechas opened its hatch, and an old-faced uncle walked out.

He rushed towards the tree hollow, picking up Wei Wei with a touch of heartache. "Wei Wei is safe now, Uncle Chi Feng is here, no one can hurt you."

Only then did Wei Wei react. She buried her face in the middle-aged man's chest and started crying loudly.

The latter gently stroked Wei Wei's back, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Chi Feng and Earl Will were comrades in arms. In his eyes, Wei Wei was like a daughter.

Seeing Wei Wei so frightened, his anger was understandable.

"Xiao Long, you go check other places. I'll take Wei Wei home first, then meet up with you!"

After carrying Wei Wei into the passenger cabin, Chi Feng's mech was about to start.

Who knew that at this moment, Wei Wei suddenly shouted loudly:

"Quick, save Ronan!"

"He's in that valley!"

Both pilots were stunned.

However, they didn't hesitate. The mechs leaped forward in a destructive manner, smashing through all the trees blocking their path!

But just as they rushed to the entrance of the valley and saw an off-road vehicle, a sound like a flash flood suddenly erupted from deep within the valley!

Rumble!

A clear landslide appeared on one side of the valley. Mixed with rainwater, it turned into a mudslide, instantly sweeping through the entire valley!

"No—!"

Wei Wei's cry instantly echoed throughout the forest. She watched the scene in disbelief, shouting in a choked voice:

"Quick, save him!"

"He's in there!"

"He died... because of me!"
