Chapter 568: Chapter 450: Straightening Out (Part 2)

"Young Master! Young Master!"

Superpower users have incredibly sharp senses, but Lex Cross might as well have been deaf. He remained impassive in the sky above, watching the scene unfold like a play. Just as several Fire Ability Users approached the plant vines, his lightning net materialized to block their path, cutting off any hope of reinforcement.

"I’m telling you, Lex Cross, you brat! Now that you have a wife, you’re just going to make life difficult for us old geezers?" Solomon Sterling was at his wit’s end. As a superpower user with no offensive abilities, there was nothing he could do.

"..."

"Young Master! I’m your uncle, for crying out loud! Hurry up and have someone get rid of these damn plants!"

This was the first time Five and the others had ever seen these usually pretentious elders get taken down a peg, and they couldn’t help but laugh.

"I’d save your breath, Uncle Cross. When our sister-in-law does something, the boss never interferes."

Graham Cross’s expression soured. "Young Master, you are the direct heir of the Cross family, the most likely successor to the Family Head. How can you let this native woman run wild like this and bully the members of our Cross family!"

Ever since her superpower had been crippled, Dana Cross’s face had lost its radiant glow. Her face was pale as she looked at the green vines all around them, which left only a tiny gap, making it almost impossible to see what was happening outside.

"Elder! If the Young Master continues to ignore us like this, we must report his behavior to the Family Head when we return to the family!"

Graham Cross’s face was dark. Seeing the looks of righteous indignation on the faces of the Cross family members around him, he couldn’t help but sigh internally.

’The Young Master is so intelligent; doesn’t he understand that it’s foolish to incur public wrath?’

He looked at Flora Bloom, then at Lex Cross, who was smiling as he held her and looked down on them, trapped by the vines. A comparison had already formed in his mind.

The Young Master, who had never shown interest in women, had a child with a native woman on this primitive planet. The whole situation was abnormal from the start.

This woman was clearly a Water Ability User, yet she could control these plants. On top of that, she controlled all the evolved creatures in Villa No. 3.

’It’s likely this woman isn’t just some simple native.’

Their purpose in coming to Earth was the Divine-level Space Fragment. A person being a Dual Ability User, while rare, was still plausible. But if she had three elements, he couldn’t help but connect it to the Divine-level Space Fragment.

As he looked at Flora Bloom now, his expression was no longer as furious as before. It was replaced by scrutiny and curiosity.

’Could it be that the Young Master is with her for this reason...?’

’But with the Young Master’s personality, he would have just killed her and taken the fragment!’ For a moment, Graham Cross felt uncertain about Lex Cross’s attitude toward Flora Bloom.

’But there was no denying that everything about Flora Bloom was too strange. There are eight Divine-level Space Fragments in total. Could one person really have obtained three of them and awakened three different elemental superpowers?’

’Was that even possible?’

But while he was lost in thought, a man named Li Yimi seized an opportunity, finding a gap in the plant vines. He sent a vortex of wind—powerful enough to swallow an entire villa district—hurtling toward Flora Bloom.

If this attack landed, the life of such a beautiful, delicate woman might be snuffed out.

Li Yimi’s attack was sudden. Five, with his sensitivity to the Wind Ability, was the first to notice. "Sister-in-law, watch out!" he roared, glaring at Li Yimi. "Li Yimi, you treacherous bastard, launching a sneak attack!"

"You, Finnian Leroy, are a member of the Leroy family! Instead of helping your own, you side with outsiders! I’ll deal with you when we get back to the clan!"

Lex Cross looked at Flora Bloom’s calm, unchanging expression. Her confident demeanor suggested she had been prepared all along. No one knew that, aside from himself, Flora Bloom’s spiritual power was the highest of anyone present.

She probably had a crystal-clear understanding of every superpower possessed by the people in Villa No. 1. If anyone made a strange move, she would be the first to notice.

Everyone thought Li Yimi’s strike was a guaranteed hit. Except for Graham Cross and Solomon Sterling, nearly every member of the Cross family was watching as if it were a play, waiting for the woman, Flora Bloom, to be splattered with blood.

However, the immense, unparalleled vortex of wind had already reached Flora Bloom. Another inch and it would touch her and Three-Eyes.

"Three-Eyes." Flora Bloom gently nudged Three-Eyes’s shoulder with her slender calf.

Three-Eyes raised its hand and swatted at the vortex just as it arrived.

The superpower of a Nebula Level user couldn’t even sever a single strand of Three-Eyes’s fur, yet with a light tap, it was simply... dissipated!

"This..." Not only was Li Yimi stunned, but even Graham Cross didn’t have time to process what had just happened. He only saw the three-eyed, black-furred gorilla that Flora Bloom was sitting on open its third eye.

The moment this third eye opened, Li Yimi immediately felt an immense pressure.
