Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shaun looked at her in disdain. “You little b*tch, are you being cheeky now that you’re here? Tell me, where is Uehara Yumi?”
Yumi gazed toward the front. “In the innermost area.”
At the moment, Yumi was being held by Shaun’s men. Her hands were cuffed as she led the way.
Shaun and the others followed behind.
The natural scenery in Cloud Lake Town was unbelievably beautiful. It was difficult to imagine that in the era of the internet, there would be such a wonderful paradise that no one knew about.
!!
It seemed like Uehara Yumi had used some methods to prevent outsiders from approaching the town, much less taking photos and uploading them online. Otherwise, such a beautiful place would have long become an Instagram hotspot for those online influencers.
However, Shaun was very nervous as he looked at the beautiful plants and trees.
“What a deserted place. It’s so big, but there’s no one here.”
Shaun had an ominous feeling.
Before long, Yumi brought Shaun to a wooden house and said, “My mother lives here.”
Shaun glanced around. Although it was a wooden house, it was very exquisite. The exterior and interior were made of expensive wood that looked very finely textured. Outside the door were nine pots of chrysanthemums.
“Ask your mother to come out.”
Yumi said, “My mother hasn’t left this house in 10 years.”
Shaun was shocked. “Do you think I’m a three-year-old child? Would I believe your nonsense? I’ll torture you a little. I don’t believe she won’t come out!”
Smack!
Smack!
Shaun immediately started beating up Yumi at the door.
Yumi cried out in pain.
However, no matter how Yumi screamed, there was no reaction from inside.
Shaun shouted. “Uehara Yumi, if you don’t come out, I’ll rape your precious daughter before killing her!”
But Shaun’s actions were in vain.
“d.a.m.n it, looks like this woman really doesn’t dare to come out.”
Shaun instructed Lee Su-ji, “Bring your men and go in with me. You must be careful at all times. Uehara Yumi is very powerful. She’s not an ordinary person. Protect me.”
Lee Su-ji nodded. “Yes!”
Shaun and his men escorted Yumi in.
Shaun became increasingly nervous. Uehara Yumi’s spells were so powerful that even Shaun’s father and uncle could not withstand them.
And Shaun’s strength was inferior to his uncle’s.
In a one-on-one battle, Shaun was no match for Uehara Yumi.
However, Shaun did not come alone today. He brought the top technology and elite troops of the Rong family. He could easily kill a hundred Uehara Yumis!
Moving forward, Shaun approached the innermost room step by step.
Suddenly, he saw a white-haired, disheveled woman sitting on a futon.
“Uehara Yumi!”
Although he could only see a third of her face, Shaun was certain that she was Uehara Yumi!
Seeing the other party’s terrifying appearance, Shaun’s heart pounded in fear. He believed even more that Uehara Yumi was the culprit behind the Immortal Lake barrier. She looked like a master of immortal techniques now.
“Mother…”
When Yumi saw Uehara Yumi, her heart ached.
Uehara Yumi’s eyes remained closed, and one could barely detect her breathing. This mysterious situation made Shaun feel that she was even more unfathomable.
Shaun smiled sinisterly. “Uehara Yumi, can you guess who I am?”
Uehara Yumi still did not open her eyes, but she slowly said, “I feel a familiar aura from you…”
In 1978, Uehara Yumi’s English was not very good. But now, she spoke the language fluently.
Yumi said, “Mom, he’s Shaun Handley. He’s from the Handley family!”
Uehara Yumi immediately opened her eyes and looked at Shaun, who was in Rong Bailun’s body.
Uehara Yumi asked curiously, “A descendant of the Handley family?”
Shaun snorted. “Uehara Yumi, you didn’t expect this, right? A descendant of the Handley family has become the lord of the world! I know very well that you bullied my family and tortured my father and uncle in the past!
“Weren’t you quite glamorous in 1978? You were extremely beautiful and das.h.i.+ng. Your slender figure made people drool. You’re much better than that ordinary daughter of yours! Why are you so old now? Did you jump into the Immortal Lake and obtain an even more powerful immortal technique? But you are only focused on cultivating now?
“Tell me, did you set up the barrier at the Immortal Lake?!”
Uehara Yumi was shocked. “In 1978…how did you know about what happened in 1978?!”
Shaun smiled. “Of course I know, and I saw it with my own eyes.”
Uehara Yumi was surprised. “What? Are you also… Pfft…”
Uehara Yumi spat out a mouthful of blood.
Shaun was so frightened that he took a step back. He didn’t know what was wrong with Uehara Yumi.
He felt that something was wrong with her. He grabbed Yumi Kaner tightly. “What’s wrong with your mother?!”
Yumi’s heart ached. “Don’t mention 1978 anymore. When my mother hears about it, she will get very upset.”
Uehara Yumi looked very weak. “I met someone I shouldn’t have in 1978. Ever since then, my path of cultivation has been destroyed. For the past 10 years, I didn’t dare to go out, afraid that I would meet that man. I can’t meet him again. My karma has already been tainted by him. If I see him again, I will definitely die!”
Many people did not understand Uehara Yumi’s words, but Shaun did!
She was talking about Jordan!
Shaun laughed out loud. “Not bad, not bad! You met Jordan from 2022 in 1978 and learned about things that you shouldn’t have known. Therefore, you’re destined not to be able to live as freely as before!
“d.a.m.n it. In that case, was it fate that my father and uncle had to die tragically a few years later? Although my mother isn’t dead, she hid in the Swiss castle with us all day long. She lived a wretched life. In her later years, she had dementia and died at Jordan’s hands. Looks like it’s all karma. Having too much knowledge of the future!”
Uehara Yumi nodded. “That’s right. It’s all karma!”
Shaun laughed out loud. “In that case, not only have your spells not improved over the years, you’re not as good as before? In that case, I have no reason to be afraid of you! Haha.”
Just as Shaun was about to gloat, his expression suddenly darkened.
“No! If your spells haven’t improved and you haven’t been out for 10 years, that means you didn’t set up the Immortal Lake barrier! Oh f*ck! I’ve been tricked!”
