Lisa Tempts Otto into Choosing a Substitute, Turning the Living into Dead Chess Pieces and Making Everyone's Scalps Tingle!

"But they all miscalculated one thing—" Rong Nianbing's voice carried a trace of cold mockery. "They underestimated Kallen Kaslana's 'resolve.' She chose neither compromise nor surrender. She chose... to use her own death to shatter everyone's schemes."

"Once Kallen died, the Castle Council's plot would fall through." Lei Xiang's voice was edged with chilliness. "Because Kallen's death would only unite the Kaslana Family further and deepen their hatred for the nobles who tried to divide them. And Otto's father would also lose, for nothing, a bargaining chip he could have used to control the Kaslana Family."

"But her story will be passed down forever."

The scene within the Light Screen darkened once more.
