Chapter 777: Chapter 627, Why Aren't You Happy? Chapter 777: Chapter 627, Why Aren't You Happy? Wu Heng glanced at 'Magnoro,' who kept repenting, and then turned to look at Glenda, whose expression hadn't changed at all.
Even the most infatuated woman, faced with being endangered twice in a row, would likely have her feelings dissipate.
Moreover, Glenda was not lacking in intelligence, and even now could see the truth.
“Not a single true word,” Wu Heng said.
Glenda spoke up directly, “Let him out.”
Wu Heng waved his hand casually, and the Bone Prison trapping the ghost disappeared.
When Magnoro regained his freedom, joy showed in his expression, and he turned to pass through the wall to escape.
The very next second, he was controlled by Glenda.
She moved quickly, beginning to devour his Soul.
In the entanglement of the two ghosts, Magnoro's Soul was steadily consumed.
“Glenda, I beg you, don't kill me, I really made a mistake, please…” he pleaded in terror.
Amid his frightened pleas, his Soul was completely devoured until it vanished.
Glenda then floated back into the room, frozen in the middle.
She looked up at the ceiling, drifting there in a daze.
Wu Heng didn't wait for a system prompt and was somewhat worried about her state.
He called out with concern, “Glenda?”
Glenda turned her head, her expression complex, “Wu Heng!”
“Are you alright?” Wu Heng asked.
Glenda managed a somewhat stiff smile, “I've taken my revenge, and I also know why he wanted to kill me.”
“Why?”
Glenda didn't answer directly, but instead entered his body.
The next second, shattered and disjointed images began to surface in his mind.
In a dimly lit room, a middle-aged man dressed handsomely was dining elegantly at a table.
Glancing over here, he spoke softly, “Magnoro, your test has been given. Whether you accept it is up to you.”
Magnoro bowed respectfully, his face sincere, “I am willing to give everything to join the Secret Cultivation Hall, including all my wealth.”
“Heh,” the middle-aged man laughed, “The Secret Cultivation Hall doesn't care for your trinkets, what we want is your sincerity and obedience.”
Magnoro lowered his head even more, indicating his willingness to comply.
The middle-aged man put down his cutlery and looked at him, “I've heard you have a gentle and smart wife. I've met her; indeed, she is young and beautiful.”
Magnoro's body trembled, but he said nothing.
The other man continued, “The order from the Secret Cultivation Hall is for you to kill her…”
The images changed again.
In a mansion in Lundham City, Magnoro lit the Magic Censer.
The beautiful woman on the bed lost consciousness in her sleep and was dragged into the basement by 'Magnoro,' who propped up her arms.
He knocked over a lamp and watched as she was engulfed by the flames.
The man stood at the doorway, looking down at the rising flames, and muttered, “My dear, don't blame me. Blame only that you stood in the way of my ascent. In the next life, if we meet, I will surely repay you well.”
The perspective shifted once more.
Magnoro told everyone he met that his wife had been enchanted by an evil spirit in the mountains and had burned herself to death by knocking over a lamp.
The images ended there, no further memories were shared.
Wu Heng released Glenda.
“It's somewhat amusing, just the Secret Cultivation Hall,” Glenda suddenly laughed.
She had thought of many reasons, but the Secret Cultivation Hall was not one she had anticipated.
In Wu Heng's hands, they were repeatedly killed, and for quite some time, they didn't even dare to set foot on the island.
Her husband burned her alive just to join them.
Wu Heng consoled her, “Don't be unhappy. We've avenged our great enmity, which is a good thing.”
“You're right,” she agreed.
Wu Heng still looked at her, saying, “Smile for me, let me see.”
Glenda rolled her eyes at him irritably and forced a smile.
“Let's head back first, we'll talk about the rest later,” Wu Heng said.
Glenda nodded and slowly faded from sight.
Wu Heng collected the body and walked out of the room, heading towards the stairs.
As he passed the Coroner's room,
The Coroner came out and said, “Lord Island Master, the Steward said to wait for you to finish and have the body examined, then to record and report the findings.”
Wu Heng handed over the body, “I'll leave it to you, inform Xi Ligui of the results directly.”
“Yes, Lord Island Master!”
The two Coroners, together, lifted the body onto an iron bed and began the examination.
Wu Heng then directly returned to his accommodation.
Upon returning to his accommodation,
The Island Lord's Mansion had received even more gifts, which piled into a small mountain on one side of the living room.
Given the quantity of gifts, the number of visitors must have been considerable.
But from the maids' expressions, they appeared to be quite pleased.
Many of the items they hadn't even seen before.
As dusk approached,
Several people dined together in the dining room; Shanaela had sent word back that she had received an invitation to a banquet and went to attend, not joining them for dinner.
Andre Willow discussed the exhibition and city hall matters, and Annette spoke about the situation with the Elixir.
Representatives from the past trade associations had mostly left their names and addresses.
The Elixir was highly valued.
Overall, today's exhibition went off quite smoothly.
“Wei'er, the exhibition officially opens tomorrow. Increase the staff to prevent any problems,” Wu Heng said.
The people of Gold and Silver Island naturally loved to join in the excitement.
One could easily imagine how bustling the exhibition would be the next day.
If there were a real fight or a stampede, it wouldn't be good.
Andre Willow nodded, “Alright, Master, should we continue to exhibit the Strengthening Potion on the third floor? I feel it might be safer to take it down for now.”
Wu Heng thought for a moment and felt she made a good point.
“Then let's not exhibit the Elixir for now.”
“Okay!”
They chatted for a while and finished their dinner.
The maids went to the flower beds in the courtyard together.
Wu Heng went upstairs and entered the study.
Inside the study.
Glenda floated by the window, looking out at the scenery of the garden.
Magnoro was dead.
She had avenged herself.
All the past seemed to mean nothing, even life itself felt somewhat dull.
Creak~!
The door opened, and Wu Heng walked in.
He glanced at Xiao Xiao and Bella, who were keeping their voices down, not far away, then looked towards Glenda.
Wu Heng asked, “Haven't come out of it yet?”
“It's nothing.” Glenda smiled.
Wu Heng poured himself a glass of water and began to speak slowly, “Did I ever tell you about my first Steward?”
Glenda looked at him, somewhat puzzled.
Wu Heng continued, “My Steward in Black Stone Town, who made an exception to recruit me into the association, taught me the rules of the association, and also took great care of me during missions.”
“Back then, people in the association claimed I was the Steward's illegitimate child, and if not for our noticeable difference in appearance, complaints would have been filed to the headquarters.”
“I believed he was the most responsible Steward I had ever seen, and I always took his orders seriously and executed them after careful consideration.”
Glenda frowned, “So what happened next? Why are you drinking water at a time like this?”
After finishing the water, Wu Heng said, “Until one day, he asked me to go to his office study. I had no defenses up when he activated an Array, aiming to take over my body to live on as me.”
“It was only then that I started to connect all the dots, realizing everything he had done before was for this purpose, including my later transfer to Lundham City, which was a fallback plan he set for himself.”
Xiao Xiao raised her hand and said, “I know about this incident; it really scared Uncle at the time.”
Glenda and Bella were filled with surprise.
They had no idea Wu Heng had gone through all this in Black Stone Town.
Wu Heng looked at Glenda and said, “Glenda, you've read more books than I have, and your experiences are no less than mine.”
“I just want to say, in life, everyone will encounter a few rotten people. They are rotten to the core and even try to drag others down with them.”
“What we need to do is to get rid of them, not let them interfere with us.”
“Leaving Black Stone Town, I met you and Mini, as well as the Steward Imilo later on.”
“Most importantly, those rotten people died, and we are still alive, and we will keep getting better and better.”
Glenda still stood there stunned, somewhat at a loss.
Wu Heng looked at the time and stood up saying, “It's getting late. I'll come back tomorrow to persuade you. If you're still not feeling better, go out for a walk, take a look at Gold and Silver Island that we have built.”
After speaking, Wu Heng turned and left the study.
Glenda continued to look out the window.
Indeed, who hasn't encountered a few rotten people?
The bedroom.
Whew~!
After showering, Wu Heng lay on the bed and let out a sigh.
He really wasn't good at consoling people. The comforting words he thought of earlier somehow seemed hard to say.
In the end, he just shared his own story of Gold and Silver Island.
He wondered if it had any effect.
And why had the “Unfinished Wish” not been unlocked yet?
The man was dead, his Soul obliterated.
Logically, there should have been other possibilities.
Creak~!
The door opened, and Mini and Andre Willow, after taking their showers, walked straight in.
Gently shedding their clothes, they climbed onto the bed, one to the left and one to the right.
The night grew deeper.
Wu Heng just closed his eyes, holding the two women.
Ding~!
A system notification suddenly appeared.
[Ghost “Unfinished Wish” unlocked.]
His just-closed eyes flung open.
It was unlocked.
Glenda had figured it out on her own.
The next day.
Having been quiet for a day, Gold and Silver Island completely exploded.
More lively than even the sale of newspapers.
“What? The Island Lord's Mansion improved quills, producing a kind of fountain pen!”
“Pocket Watches really exist, they were displayed at the exhibition, the stories were true.”
“I heard from the coachman that the merchants who went to the Island Lord's Mansion to set up shop were lined up to the end of the street.”
“The Island Master is too awesome.”
The opening of the exhibition allowed the inside news to spread across the island at top speed.
Even those who were illiterate and uneducated could see the usefulness of the improved fountain pens and pocket watches.
So many caravans participated in the exhibition.
Yet none were as good as the products from Gold and Silver Island itself.
The island's residents became even more excited, discussing it everywhere.
