Chapter 958: Chapter 292: Little Spider’s Transformation! Gary Smith, Compatriot! Peeking at the Key of Truth? (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

In the Kingdom.

Although the King of Curses had vanished in the blink of an eye, affecting only a few thousand people and not destroying the city, what it brought to the human species was a wave of fear!

Moreover, this time, it was more severe than any previous incident, as the King of Curses, which used to be expelled by gold, was actually able to contain the power of gold.

This news, although immediately censored, couldn’t escape the information channels of the many nobles, instilling a long-forgotten fear in them. Undercurrents surged, and numerous great forces sent military support and resources, expressing strong backing for Ashen City.

But what seemed like condolences was actually a desire to know... How exactly did Ashen City fend off the King of Curses?

Up to now, the only known method of dealing with the King of Curses was to wait for it to leave after it had its fill.

But Ashen City...or rather, Jenny Han, how exactly did she satisfy the King of Curses?

At this moment, Ashen City, the eye of the storm, was peaceful.

In the Han Family manor, all the maids and attendants couldn’t feel the solemn atmosphere; instead, there was a sense of...

Relaxation!

The marshal, who used to be stern and never parted from her military uniform, had unexpectedly started wearing pretty dresses, losing some of her heroic aura but gaining a touch of feminine grace, and she became more prone to laughter.

Jenny Han originally didn’t care for material pleasures, but today she actually summoned the top chefs of Ashen City to prepare delicious food, leaving many puzzled.

This change in character... was simply too drastic!

However, they didn’t dare to speculate or discuss the big shot; they simply thought that surviving the city-destroying disaster made the marshal feel that life should be enjoyed while one can.

It was normal for a person’s character to undergo some changes after experiencing great fear and great joy.

Whether it was a servant or the many soldiers, they were happy to see a bit more humanity in Jenny Han.

But this did not include Shannon Wade. Although he was also stunned by the sight of Jenny Han in a dress, he couldn’t shake the feeling that...

Her change wasn’t due to the King of Curses!

Could it be because of a certain person?

"No! Impossible!"

Shannon Wade quickly dismissed this speculation. After all, not even a Pride of Heaven as handsome and excellent as himself had managed to stir her heart.

How could there possibly be a younger man more excellent than himself within the Kingdom’s bounds?

It was more likely that Jenny Han was moved by his own sacrificial act on the city walls, causing her to have a bit of a soft spot for him, which was why she was showing her feminine delicate side.

It was probably a hint for him to put in more effort!

Instantly, Shannon Wade felt a boundless motivation surge within him as he began to seriously handle the post-war work.

On the other side, Jenny Han, unaware of someone’s wild conjectures, dismissed the subordinates who wanted to help and, pushing a food trolley, entered the study, saying respectfully:

"Mr. Smith, it’s time for your meal!"

Although she did not know if "Mr. Smith" was human or if he needed to eat, just because the Superior Beings did not tell you did not mean you didn’t have to act.

"Alright," Gary Smith nodded, his tone calm, neither distant nor polite.

Everything in the Han Family was bestowed by him, belonging to his possessions. He had the power to give and also to take it all away at any moment, so enjoying these offerings was only natural.

What he disliked most was bestowing a grace upon someone and then having to cajole that person.

It led to no gratitude, Wwisdom that distorted priorities, and gave people an inch so they would take a mile.

However, for subordinates with potential, his attitude was one of approval.

"It must be said, Time is a knife indeed!"

Gary Smith couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. When he had arrived, this little girl was just in her teens, wearing a maid outfit and speaking timidly, her face blushing at the slightest thing.

Now she was in her thirties, her character composed, and her actions efficient, qualifying her as a big shot many in this little world could only dream of becoming.

With just a word, she could rewrite their destinies!

But Gary Smith felt a sense of discrepancy because he was only nineteen himself, and addressing her as "little one" or "little girl" felt strange. In the end, he simply chose not to speak anymore.

This left Jenny Han, who had been looking forward to this, feeling a bit disappointed, as if Time had left too many marks on her. But she quickly spirited up, laid out the food on the table, and then withdrew, indicating she was going to receive other forces’ representatives and that she would come right away if needed.

"You guys eat,"

Gary Smith wasn’t hungry, so he waved a hand, letting Mousie and Eggy divide the delicious food among themselves, while Paper Knight stayed calmly by his side, refusing to eat anything other than what Spider and Gary Smith prepared.

As for Little Spider, she was studying one of the King of Curses’ minions, the Eyes of Myriad, for several hours now. The twisted black eyes that formed its shape were covered with dense black lines.

A closer look would reveal that making up these black lines were multitudes of Spirit Worms with their fearsome mouths open, nibbling away at the numerous eyeballs of the Eyes of Myriad, creating holes in them.

Although it looked horrendous, these wounds were healing at a pace visible to the naked eye, thanks to the unceasing Curse power.

However, under the pressure of the Golden Shards, the recovery was slow, but still much better than other Cursed Beasts that went straight into a state of inert shutdown.

"Yingying!" Little Spider raised her head and said.

"So, you’re saying, it’s just like other Cursed Beasts, susceptible to being suppressed by gold, only this time it had some special force field that neutralized the effect of gold. Now that the force field is shattered, it has reverted to its normal state," Gary Smith stroked his chin, feeling puzzled.

Could it be the King of Curses had not emerged in twenty years because they were absorbing this special power?
