If Victor saw the woman, he would definitely be shocked, as this was the same Eleanor who had been their guide in the Lightning Valley.

"Big Sister, you are too careless. You should not get distracted while fighting," Eleanor reprimanded her, which caused Rina to click her tongue.

"I am the big sister, don’t lecture me.... You brat, you did not return to the estate for the last few months. I thought you had become dog food," Rina said casually, which caused Eleanor to choke on her saliva.

"Dear Sister, I see your tongue has sharpened even more," Eleanor said through gritted teeth as she saw Rina looking at her with a smirk, but her expression changed when she saw Rina raise her hand toward her. "Wait... no... ahh... ouch!"

Eleanor panicked and was about to dodge when Rina grabbed her left ear and started twisting it.

"Eleanor, you brat, do you know how worried we were? You even ditched the guards. Where did you run off to this time?" Rina asked while pinching her younger sister’s ear.

"Ouch... who are you calling a brat... and let me go," Eleanor struggled as she escaped her sister’s grasp and rubbed her reddened ear.

"You, Miss Rina, are you okay? And you, Miss Eleanor, where did you run off to again? You should not have ditched the guards," Emily the maid rushed toward them after killing the monsters.

"Good to see you again, Emily. I see your bossy attitude has not changed," Eleanor said with a smile.

Emily stiffened and then pouted. "I am not bossy."

"Looks like I don’t need to fight," Eleanor said with a raised eyebrow as she saw more soldiers had arrived and were slaughtering the monsters.

Her eyes narrowed at her father facing a monster, and she could not help but compare him to Victor and thought, ’Father seems way weaker than Victor.’

"Huh, who is Victor? Is he your boyfriend?" Rina asked curiously.

"As if," Eleanor scoffed, refuting her sister’s claims. "I went to the Lightning Valley and worked there as a part-time guide and bodyguard."

"Tsk." Rina clicked her tongue, which caused Eleanor to roll her eyes at her. Then both Emily and Rina’s heads snapped toward Eleanor and asked...

"Did you say guide in the Lightning Valley?"

"Did young miss say bodyguard duty?"

Rina looked at her in disbelief. She had always known her sister was adventurous and rebellious, but she did not expect her to be so bold that she would directly run off to the Lightning Valley. On the other hand, Emily looked at her in disbelief. She could not believe her ears that a noble would actually one day work as a bodyguard for strangers who should have been the ones hiring bodyguards, and even acted as a guide.

Rina then let out a wry smile and sighed. "Eleanor, you... are really bold. If Dad finds out, he will lock you up."

Hearing this, Eleanor’s body stiffened and she said with a nervous smile, "Sister, please don’t tell him."

"Sigh, fine... but don’t go out anymore. Things have become dangerous," Rina said with a glare, and Eleanor nodded her head.

"Yes, I know. I am not foolish. If it was not for that guy, I would have died in the Lightning Valley."

"You are talking about this guy... who is he actually?" Rina asked with a raised eyebrow.

"A freak, a complete freak of nature,"

Eleanor said without hesitation, and even Emily looked at her curiously.

"Speak normally, who are you talking about?" Rina said as she rubbed her temples and continued, "And it seems you are implying he has more strength than Father... how is that even possible? Father is Peak Tier 3 and on the verge of reaching Tier 4."

Eleanor hearing this snorted and said, "I was also shocked by his Lightning Bloodline. He killed dozens of Tier 3s with a single attack."

"What! Impossible!" Rina cried out loud, and seeing her sister’s serious expression, she looked at her father who was struggling with a Tier 3 beast and broke out in a cold sweat.

"He is the Baron of Silvernum Territory," Eleanor continued, seeing their reaction.

"Wait, did you say Silvernum? Miss, wasn’t this the territory we were getting ready to visit?" Emily’s eyes widened as she looked at Rina, who blinked several times.

"What, you were going to visit the Silvernum Territory?" Eleanor asked. As the heir to Hall Duchy, she had no reason to even pay attention to a mere Barony. Even if there was a rumor of him being a new Warlock, there was no reason to visit him personally.

"Yes, we wanted to buy a new kind of weapon from him, which even Father agreed would have a major impact on the world. We wanted to ally with him early before the others acted," Rina said.

"Oh, now I am also getting eager to visit his territory again," Eleanor said with a smirk.

United States, Thornfield Estate

Olivia Thornfield Manor

Olivia Thornfield could be seen sitting in her workroom, engrossed in reading a document on her computer while two projections lit up in front of her, showing Rachel and Andrew.

"I must say, this unreleased holographic tech leaves video calling in the dust," Rachel said suddenly.

The tech they were using was created by private researchers funded by the government, and even top billionaires did not have access to it. It just showed how much influence their families had.

Olivia had been reading the development reports of their guild since yesterday, as it was lengthy due to the extensive amount of data they had to go through.

However, despite the long duration, Olivia did not feel tired at all because everything she was learning was very important for the development of guilds.

"Let’s stop the small talk and get to the main topic," Olivia said in a serious voice, and Rachel and Andrew’s gazes sharpened.

"So, what do your family researchers say about the sudden appearance of those small cookie-sized wormholes?" Olivia asked.

"The same conclusion. They think those are some kind of small portals and are still expanding. They think it might connect to the game world," Andrew said tensely, and Olivia’s and Rachel’s faces darkened immediately.
