Outside a cell in Zone 2 on the second floor of the arbitration institute, he was completely bewildered, staring at the cell in front of him, his information blocked.

Inside, several angels were busily working, because an old man with gray hair and a thin face was lying quietly on the ground. His hands were bound by iron chains, so he did not fall completely.

His drooping head proved his state of being; the man was dead, his life force completely gone.

The cause of his death was learned from the anxious male angels.

He died by severing his own heart meridian. For an old lord like him, there were still some ways to end his own life.

Glenn felt that the old lord Hoffmann was using this behavior to give someone a push, to completely ignite this spark.

"Oh no! What do we do now?"

The unexpected event left Glenn somewhat bewildered. "I was just saying that, don't take it seriously! Fate!"

At this moment, Glenn discovered that he might have a hidden talent—a jinx.

Just as Glenn was having doubts, a sound of footsteps approached from afar.

Glenn looked over in surprise, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Isn't that sissy Sumari? What's he doing here?"

However, considering the reason why Lord Hoffman had come here, Glenn understood the key point.

As Sumari walked past him, revealing the back of his head, Glenn felt an urge to go up and whack him with a stick, but in the end, reason prevailed over impulse.

"Impulse is the devil, impulse is the devil!"

Glenn constantly reminded himself and others of this.

"What a pity! Such a good opportunity! I almost got my revenge."

Glenn watched as Sumari entered the cell. Sumari's arrival immediately alerted the group, and the male angels, upon seeing Sumari, quickly stopped what they were doing and respectfully said:

"Mr. Su!"

"Ok!"

Sumari casually responded, then glanced at the man who had almost cost him his life, and said coldly:

"Get rid of him quickly, and remember to do it cleanly."

After saying that, he left without looking back, and the others quickly agreed.

"Yes! Mr. Su!"

Upon receiving the order, the men immediately burned the old lord's body on the spot, leaving not even ashes, leaving it completely clean.

Glenn saw all of this, and a sense of frustration arose within him.

"Sigh! They really didn't leave anything behind! I was hoping to bring the body back so that Keisha would have something to remember us by, but now that's out of the question. The operation failed, and we returned empty-handed!"

Meanwhile, Keisha, who was in a small courtyard on the outskirts of the royal city, suddenly received devastating news: her father had committed suicide.

In her grief and anger, Keisha almost stormed into the royal city to seek revenge on Hua Ye, but was ultimately stopped by the calm Ruoning.

In an instant, Keisha shed her usual aloof mask and wept bitterly like an ordinary little girl, while Ruoning quietly stood guard behind her.

Meanwhile, they were worried about Glenn's safety, as the mission had failed.

With the target dead, Glenn saw no need to linger and turned to head back.

But as soon as he stepped out of the second exit, he saw Sumari emerge from the third exit with a gloomy face, cursing under his breath:

"You don't know what's good for you! You're willing to die for a piece of technology? You said you were willing to become a lamp to light up the darkness, but you? You don't know what's good for you. You have no idea what the king's methods are."

Perhaps thinking of something, his expression gradually became melancholy and sentimental.

Glenn had to admire the speed at which this person changed their expression; they were truly skilled!

Seeing this, Glenn stroked his chin with his right hand and fell into deep thought.

"What on earth happened to make Sumari like this?"

Ultimately, Glenn's curiosity overcame his reason, and he turned and headed towards District Three.

The layout was similar to that of Zone Two, with not much difference. While observing the prisoners in the cells, he pondered Sumari's purpose in coming here.

When the scene before him appeared, Glenn was speechless with astonishment.

The encounters between people are so unpredictable; perhaps it is an arrangement of fate, or perhaps it is due to the compatibility of their destinies.

As Glenn entered a prison area, his eyes were immediately drawn to a figure.

Her eyes were as pure as water, her nose perfectly proportioned, and her lips as small as cherries. Her long, silver hair cascaded down her delicate shoulders like a silver waterfall.

She wore a white dress with gold trim, the silver embellishments sparkling beautifully; in her elegant hands she held a black-covered book, turning its pages one by one.

Her charisma, no less than that of Keisha, is irresistible.

The strange sensation in his body finally brought Glenn back to his senses, and at that moment, a sentence unconsciously came out of Glenn's mouth.

"Holy crap! He forcibly kissed He Xi, you naughty Xi?"

The person who appeared before Glenn was none other than the future Heavenly King, He Xi.

At this moment, she was leisurely flipping through a book, looking quite relaxed and carefree, completely oblivious to the fact that her life would end tomorrow.

Upon seeing He Xi, Glenn understood everything. He knew who Su Mali had come to see earlier, and what he had said revealed He Xi's current predicament.

"Yes! She will die! And soon!"

Glenn was also puzzled by this, and he continued to mutter to himself.

"But He Xi is the future Heavenly King! How could she die? Unless she escapes on her own or someone comes to rescue her!"

"So it was... Keisha or me who saved them?"

"Did history change due to causality or because of my arrival?"

A series of questions filled his mind, and the connections between them left Glenn somewhat stunned and bewildered.

Looking at He Xi in the cell, Glenn decided to get closer to confirm the answer to his question.

With one step, Glenn opened a gap in the energy barrier using the Xiongxin and stepped inside.

He Xi noticed the unusual activity at the cell door immediately. As a scholar at the Royal Military Academy, she had some knowledge of science and technology, and the reason she entered the cell was because of her research on the Dark Silver weapon project. Hua Ye wanted to steal this research.

However, she had just sensed a momentary anomaly in the energy barrier, which surprised her greatly.

So she put down her book and went over to observe it carefully.

Meanwhile, Glenn, sitting opposite him, saw He Xi stroll to the prison door, studying something intently.

The tight-fitting dress perfectly outlined her graceful curves, making his heart race. Men are all like that; at this moment, Glenn felt that He Xi was even more feminine than Keisha.

Without wasting any more time, Glenn immediately activated the Xiongxin chip.

"Enter the dark dimension, activate the combat version of the male core auxiliary function, construct an information bridge, target the female life form ahead."

"The framework is complete. Adjust the information blocking function."

At this point, there was no longer any barrier to communication between the two. Here, Glenn was still in a state of information shielding, and only He Xi could see him and hear his voice. He Xi's voice had also been adjusted so that only Glenn could hear it.

In other words, in other people's eyes, only He Xi was silently saying something.

Glenn leisurely picked up the book that He Xi was looking at, and saw that it was titled "On the Meaning of Life".

Glenn turned the pages of the book and spoke in a low voice:

"No need to check, there's nothing wrong there!"

The sudden sound behind her startled He Xi, who turned around abruptly to look at the source of the sound, her movements far more agile than those of a scholar.

What came into her view was Glenn's unremarkable figure, which made her body tense up involuntarily.

"who are you?"

Glenn reluctantly placed the book on the table. He really didn't understand what the book was about, so he gave up on exploring it.

Glenn didn't answer her question, but simply replied with a single sentence.

Don't you think it would be more appropriate to sit down and talk?

He Xi hesitated for a moment, feeling uneasy about this strange man who had suddenly appeared. But after a brief hesitation, she returned to her seat and sat down. She felt that Glenn meant no harm; a woman's intuition is usually quite accurate.

Glenn's gaze followed her every step until she sat down, at which point he looked away.

After they were seated, Glenn spoke directly before He Xi could even ask a question.

Do you know Keisha?

He Xi was taken aback, and subconsciously replied:

"The new lord of the Hoffmann family?"

"Oh! That's right!"

Glenn confirmed this.

He Xi didn't understand why the person in front of her would ask such a question, but she still gave a clear answer.

"We know each other! To be clear, we're still friends!"

"Oh, all right!"

Glenn was somewhat surprised; they had this kind of relationship?

However, he didn't ask in detail, but instead asked about his purpose.

"Do you want to leave? Or rather, escape the royal city!"
