He held Selena Kensington’s hand, squeezing her palm with a comforting intent. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Feeling Sterling Norwood’s actions, Selena Kensington’s heart steadied considerably.

After this gesture, Sterling Norwood glanced up at Lark Mayfield, "Sit down to talk."

Without any hesitation, Lark Mayfield sat down on the sofa beside him.

"What did you find on Sidney Dalton?"

Sterling Norwood spoke calmly.

Lark Mayfield frowned slightly, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, "He has long been subjected to subconscious hints, and the one who gave him those hints has a bloodline connection with me!"

This was why Lark Mayfield’s behavior was so unusual.

"You don’t seem to have any direct relatives."

Sterling Norwood pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

Lark Mayfield seemed to remember something, letting out a faint scoff, "My parents died over ten years ago."

"Was it from being pursued?"

Selena Kensington asked softly.

Lark Mayfield first looked at Selena Kensington, then suspiciously at Sterling Norwood, "Why should I tell you so much?"

It seemed she still harbored a significant amount of caution towards Sterling Norwood and Selena Kensington.

Sterling Norwood’s lips curled slowly into a sarcastic smile, "Because we know more than you."

"If I’m not mistaken, you don’t really know if your parents are truly dead, do you?"

Sterling Norwood’s latter statement carried an air of certainty.

"You!..."

Lark Mayfield’s eyes flashed with shock, but it quickly subsided.

Given the circumstances and her desperate need to uncover the details about Sidney Dalton, she weighed the benefits and risks, thus putting aside her concerns.

Lark Mayfield nodded slightly, "Yes."

Indeed, she didn’t know the true situation of her parents.

But over the years, despite sending countless people to find them, they never returned.

In the end, all the news vanished into thin air.

And created no waves.

"Why were you pursued back then?"

Sterling Norwood inquired.

Lark Mayfield recalled the past events, a flash of pain quickly swept through her eyes, which then settled into irony.

"Remember the Luminar Clan?"

Upon hearing this unusual name, Selena Kensington’s brows lifted slightly.

Luminar Clan?

Were they also descendants of the Fell Bloodline?

Hearing this name, Sterling Norwood’s expression immediately turned sharp and serious.

A powerful aura suddenly emanated from him.

Even Selena Kensington couldn’t help but glance at him several times due to this sudden change.

Lark Mayfield observed Sterling Norwood’s reaction, realizing he indeed remembered such a family.

She continued, "At that time, it was the memorial day for the most talented descendant of the Luminar Clan. Our Mayfield Family had ongoing relations with the Luminar Clan, so that day, my parents brought me to their clan."

"But who could have imagined that mid-ceremony, a group armed with firearms and special abilities stormed in. They uttered no words, launching indiscriminate slaughter on the Luminar Clan, even our family couldn’t escape their massacre."

"In the end, only a few from our family and the Luminar Clan managed to escape, but those individuals continued their relentless pursuit, seemingly unwilling to stop until we were all wiped out."

"Returning to Westport naturally wasn’t safe and would only bring disaster to its residents. So we sought help from the Norwood Family in Aethelgard."

Lark Mayfield recounted the events from over a decade ago with a quiet tone.

In the eyes of descendants with Fell Bloodline, if they faced dire danger, their subconscious would guide them to Aethelgard.

The place where The Beast Lord dwells is the safest haven for Fell Bloodline descendants.

"Unfortunately, we hadn’t reached the Norwood Family before those individuals caught us. Injured, I was taken back by the Goodman Family, while the whereabouts of my parents and the escaped Luminar Clan remained unknown..."

Listening to Lark Mayfield recount events from over a decade ago, Selena Kensington sensed threads weaving together.

"What kind of family is the Luminar Clan?"

Selena Kensington tilted her head, inquiring Sterling Norwood.

Sterling Norwood’s face carried a solemn demeanor, and hearing her question, his hand unconsciously stroked Selena Kensington’s back, "The Luminar Clan is a unique family among Fell Bloodline descendants."

"Their average lifespan is long; the stronger one’s talent, the longer they can live... This special ability makes them prone to envy, thus their clan remains secluded in mountain abodes, rarely venturing into the world."

Selena Kensington’s expression froze after Sterling Norwood’s explanation.

She...

Seemed to have connected the dots.

"Longevity... Kull’s experiment..."

"I understand it now."

Selena Kensington suddenly became calm.

"That notebook mentioned Kull sought immortality. Eternal life sounds like a mere fantasy, but considering it alternatively? Doesn’t it align with the Luminar Clan’s abilities? Thus, Kull’s bloodline might originate from the Luminar Clan..."

Selena Kensington analyzed thoughtfully.

Sterling Norwood remained silent, evidently having pondered the same.

"Who is Kull?!"

Lark Mayfield asked, somewhat bewildered.

But observing the expressions of Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood, Lark Mayfield vaguely sensed something was amiss.

Selena Kensington took a deep breath and began explaining the matters concerning The Godsbane Organization to Lark Mayfield.

A few minutes later, Selena Kensington had succinctly conveyed the existence and deeds of The Godsbane Organization to Lark Mayfield.

"...your parents may have been captured by The Godsbane Organization for experimentation, and some experimental subjects inherited their abilities, the hint placed on Sidney Dalton coming from that individual."

"As for why Sidney Dalton was hinted upon, it’s likely because The Godsbane Organization didn’t fully trust him, merely treating him as a pawn..."

A pawn to deal with the Kensington couple.

Sidney Dalton probably believed he received help from The Godsbane Organization, but never realized they simply used him to eliminate the Kensington couple.

After Selena Kensington finished speaking, she distinctly felt the powerful aura and undisguised murderous intent emanating from Lark Mayfield.

Furthermore, due to her emotional fluctuation, those fox-like eyes flickered with a strange red glow.

It looked eerie and terrifying.

Her hand placed on the sofa even subconsciously clenched tightly.

The revelations Selena Kensington imparted brought quite a shock to Lark Mayfield.

"They dare harness my family’s abilities..."

After a moment, Lark Mayfield spoke slowly.

The words carried a chilly and deadly tone.

"From your words, it seems you are investigating this so-called Godsbane Organization..."

"Yes."

Selena Kensington straightforwardly admitted without beating around the bush.

"I can provide additional information, but you must allow me to join this endeavor."
