“Who’s there?” Sophie’s sharp voice cut through the stillness.

She immediately sensed something was off.

Her King Parasite stirred, signaling that something–or someone–had entered the

room.

Instinctively, she assumed it was a person. Her eyes swept across every corner, but the room was empty.

Her frown deepened. “Search again,” she commanded silently. The King Parasite obeyed, scouring the room twice more. Still, there was nothing.

Sophie’s brows furrowed tightly. The King Parasite never made mistakes.

This was no ordinary parasite–it was the King Parasite, a powerful entity entrusted to her by those who had once sought to protect her.

It was the reason she had defied death and stood here now, alive and unyielding.

Their fates were intertwined. If she died, the King Parasite would perish with her. And if it died, so would she. That bond was absolute, and Sophie would never doubt it.

If the King Parasite sensed something, then it had to be real. Whatever had slipped past its watch was no ordinary presence.

‘Wait, could it be another parasite?‘ The thought sent a chill down her spine.

She recalled the warning she had received: Hasen City was home to other sorcerers. But there were rules–unspoken but ironclad. Trespassing on another’s territory without permission wasn’t just reckless; it was a provocation, a declaration of war.

‘Could another sorcerer have noticed something strange about the parasites I refined and decided to target me?‘

‘It’s not that I don’t suspect Adeline, but that fool probably doesn’t even know what a sorcerer is, let alone hire one.‘

‘No, wait! Could it be Father?‘

Sophie’s eyes widened in shock.

She remembered Adeline mentioning she’d gone to see Benedict. At the time, Sophie hadn’t believed her.

But now, doubt began to creep in.

If it was his father, he might know sorcerers in Hasen City and could have hired one. ‘So, for Adeline’s sake, is Father re Successfully unlocked! e, his own daughter?‘

“Damn it!” Sophie cursed under her breath.

Her anger erupted, and a murderous glint flashed in her eyes.

“Someone, come here!”

Two servants with vacant expressions immediately entered the room.

“Bring me kerosene, and burn this room to the ground!” Sophie ordered coldly.

Whether it was a sorcerer hired by her father or not, she was determined to force them out into the open.

Anyone who dared to play tricks under her nose deserved to die.

If they refused to show themselves, she’d make them come out by force.

After moving Caleb to safety, Sophie commanded her parasites to encircle the room, ensuring that once the fire started, not a single parasite would escape.

The room was quickly consumed by flames, the kerosene igniting into a roaring blaze.

“Courting death, are you?” Sophie sneered, kicking Adeline to the ground with ease. She stepped forward swiftly, her hand latching onto Adeline’s throat like a vice.
