It was almost evening. A fragrant smell of cooked rice and vegetables could be smelt in the alley.
Victoria Presley held a book in her arms as she turned into the alley with light footsteps.
In the alley, an elderly woman with powder white hair smiled at her. “Hey, little girl. Are you back from
your tuition?”
“Yes!” She nodded lightly and smiled. “Have you eaten, Mrs. Gally?”
“Yes, I have.” The old woman admired this beautiful young girl before her, who had finished her studies
herself at such a young age. “You should hurry home too and make your meal!”
“Of course, Mrs. Gally. Goodbye!” Victoria bowed at her politely and turned around to leave happily.
“What a matured and responsible child!” Mrs. Gally sighed gently, “So much better than the rascal I

Victoria walked down the pebbled path in the alley. She turned at a corner, and an open space of about
ten square meters appeared before her.
There was a small table and two stools under the dim twilight. A young man was sitting on one of the
stools and reading a book with a red cover.
Victoria held her breath and walked slowly past the young man.
“Don’t you want to come and have a look at the book in my hand? I’ve read a few pages, and it’s pretty
good.” The young man looked at the book and started speaking suddenly.
After a moment of hesitation, the little girl tilted her head slightly and asked, “Big brother, were you
talking to me?”
Jacob raised his head and looked at her. “If you are Theodore Presley from the Cruor Sect, then I was
talking to you. Are you Theodore Presley?”
Victoria trembled lightly. The light in her eyes dimmed. She walked toward Jacob after a moment of
silence.
She sat down and put the book in her arms on the table. She smiled and spoke coquettishly. “Big
brother, is this book… The Cruor’s Bible? How is this possible?”
Victoria could not hold back her shock when she saw the blood red covered book with jade white inner
pages filled with golden printed words. She exposed her identity right away.
She asked in a trembling voice. “How did… My Cruor Sect’s Bible… Get into your hands?”
Jacob flipped one page over gently and said, “Of course, the Cruor Sect’s Bible will be in my hands.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI’ve destroyed the Cruor Sect!”
“I don’t believe you!” Victoria shook her head. We have many skilled masters. The ten elder guardians
even have superpowers. How could you destroy the Cruor Sect in just a day?”
“I do not plan to talk to you about the past.” Jacob cast an indifferent glance at her. “Answer me a
question if you do not want to die.”
Victoria held back the suspicion in her and asked faintly, “What is it?”
“Why didn’t your puppets kill themselves after they subdued themselves at the mall yesterday?” Jacob
put down the book in his hands and looked straight into Victoria’s eyes.
“There’s no reason for that.” Victoria turned her head to one side.
Jacob sneered. Then, he threw something onto the table.
“The Cruor’s Token!” The look on Victoria’s face changed immediately when she saw the token.
