Chapter 569: Chapter 450: Rectification (3)

’A superpower lock-on! He’s been targeted.’

"Graham, save me!"

Li Yimi’s words had barely faded when a beam of white light shot through a gap in the plant vines, heading straight for him.

After all, Li Yimi was one of the most distinguished Nebula Level superpower users, having trained for years with the vast resources of the Leroy family, a major clan from the Ancient Universe.

He immediately summoned a gust of wind to escape the spot where the white beam was about to strike.

"Hmph! A mere beast dares to offend me, Li Yimi!" As he spoke, his Wind Ability surged around him. Anyone with eyes could see he was preparing a powerful move.

"Yimi! Stop! Don’t hurt them!" Graham Cross had intended to stop Li Yimi from harming Flora Bloom. If that powerful attack hit Three-Eyes, it would inevitably injure Flora, who was on the ape’s shoulder.

However, before the white energy beam could even hit the ground, it changed direction and shot toward Li Yimi once more.

There was no earth-shattering sound, nor were there any dazzling, flashy effects. The white beam pierced straight through Li Yimi’s chest and out his back.

The scent of fresh blood reached everyone’s nostrils.

"How... how is this possible! This superpower can track its target!"

"Anything is possible!"

Graham Cross sighed in resignation as he watched the scene unfold. ’There’s no way to fight this.’ Trapped within the cage of plants and suppressed by a Water Ability, they were completely powerless to retaliate.

Now, with the addition of this strange three-eyed ape’s attack, his reputation would be in tatters if things went poorly.

"Gloria, Hefeng, let’s go. Everyone, back inside!" Graham Cross said resignedly, glancing up at Lex Cross, who was watching them menacingly from above. He started to lead the Cross family disciples back into the villa.

’This plant cage can’t be maintained forever, can it? The amount of energy and spiritual power it requires is more than a woman like Flora Bloom can afford to expend.’

"Let’s go, let’s go. Ugh, these old bones of mine can’t take this commotion!" Solomon Sterling glanced at the injured Li Yimi. "Are you all right? From now on, don’t underestimate these young ones. No matter what, the Heir is still the Heir. Just think, if this woman becomes the matriarch of the Cross family, do you think your people will have an easy time in the future?"

Li Yimi was startled. "Matriarch? Sterling, you must be joking."

Just then, Lex Cross’s voice rang out from above. "If I become the Head of the Cross family one day, she will be my wife, the matriarch of the Cross family."

When Lex Cross said this, Five and the others weren’t surprised; no one knew better than them how important Flora Bloom was to their boss.

But to the members of the Cross family in Villa Number One, his words struck them like a bolt of lightning.

It was shocking enough that Lex Cross, a man who had never shown interest in women, was so devoted to this one that he’d promise her the position of family matriarch. For Graham Cross, hearing those words made his expression darken.

"Heir, watch your words!" The current Head of the Cross family was his own younger brother. If such words reached his brother’s ears, it would create obstacles for Lex Cross’s future succession.

But Lex Cross’s declaration also solidified a suspicion in his mind. ’This Flora Bloom definitely has a Divine-level Space Fragment inside her!’

’Since the Heir already has a child with this woman, he must have developed feelings for her and can’t bring himself to act against her. In that case, we might as well make her one of our own. That way, we can conceal the matter of the Divine-level Space Fragment and secure her loyalty. It’s the perfect solution.’

Just as the people from Villa Number One were about to head back inside, Flora Bloom stopped them.

"Don’t be in such a hurry to leave! I still have some business to... settle with you."

"Settle business?" Graham Cross stumbled, nearly losing his footing. "What business?"

Flora Bloom turned to look at Cynthia Grant and the others. "Cynthia, you all head back first. I can handle things here by myself. When my brother, my father, and Old Lynch get back from their hunt, let them know I’m here and that they don’t need to come over."

Cynthia Grant nodded and left with Shelly and the others, also dispersing the surrounding onlookers. In the end, only Flora Bloom, Lex Cross, Polly, Five, Nolan Jennings, and The Crown Prince, the leopard cat hidden in the shadows, remained.

"You witch, don’t go too far! We’ve tolerated you long enough since you came back! Don’t push your luck!" The one who spoke was Dana Cross.

Flora Bloom sensed no superpower fluctuations from the woman. This, combined with what Cynthia Grant had told her about the Cross family’s initial conflict near Villa Number Three, led Flora to a conclusion.

’All things considered, this young woman must be the same Dana Cross who almost hurt Polly with a lightning net while I was away.’

"You’re Dana Cross?"

Flora Bloom raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
