.The village chief was so excited that he rubbed his hands together. He tried every dish, even though each one on its own wasn't particularly flavorful, but when paired with meat or other fruits and v...Ripples was a bit confused and asked Connor if she had said something wrong. Connor replied that after reading Nana's background information, he also said the same thing as her, thinking Emilio was an idiot who was raised as a spoiled child by the Kenny family.

Although ripples was meeting Nana for the first time, she already knew everything about her.

"Big brother, how come you have time to visit me today"

After all, ripples was just the younger brother. When he saw the two people coming together, he stood up and greeted them with a smile.

"A few days ago you just came back, and I was busy breaking through, so I didn't come to see you. Recently, I just broke through, and you also rested for a while, so I brought my friends over to see you."

Emilio had silver hair and eyes the color of purple, just a shade lighter than Ripple's. At this moment, he said with a hint of triumph in his voice.

Ripple naturally saw the opponent's chest with the badge of the Grand Mage, smiled slightly, and at the same time, a divine sense thread instantly probed into the opponent's body. After wandering around for a while, it quickly retracted, taking less than half a minute. Ripple still solemnly bowed and congratulated:

"Congratulations, big brother, on being promoted to a Grand Mage! In the future, if little brother has anything unclear, he will still have to ask big brother for advice."

"Alright, you and I are brothers, so don't be so formal."

Emilio was pleased with the ripples' reaction, so he pulled Nana over to introduce them.

"Lotus younger brother, this is Nana. I met her during my training journey when I encountered difficulties. She helped me out, and we are currently dating. So, I specially brought her here for you to get acquainted."

"Hi Nana, it's nice to meet you."

A ripple of a smile graced Ripples' face, her violet eyes gazing softly at Nana.

Just through the probing of divine consciousness, Ripples is very sure that her brother used a potion with severe side effects to break through to become a high-level mage. This was achieved by expending his lifespan, essentially overdrawing his vitality.

And the other party was eager to come and show off to him, without properly solidifying his own level. If he really encountered a strong enemy, he would be like a paper tiger, easily pierced through.

Even if Connor disliked Emilio, he wouldn't let his son take this kind of medicine. So, Connor could guess where the medicine came from without even having to investigate.

NANA looked at the black-haired, purple-eyed boy in front of her. She suddenly felt a bit pressured, with a feeling of being exposed. Especially his purple eyes, which only held coldness and aloofness. At this moment, she suddenly understood why Lord Rodeman favored his younger son more.

"Hello, Mr. Lian! It's also nice to meet you."

Nana calmed her mind and focused on dealing with Lord Lian in front of her.

Emilio was just showing off, so after a while he left with Nana, claiming they were going to solidify their realms.

Ripples watched the other person's leaving figure, shaking her head helplessly.

Layi silently came to Lianyi's side and whispered:

"Young Master, you are still brilliant. The defensive magic circle you set up was triggered. It was a magic insect, specifically used for scouting terrain and tracking. The moment it touched the magic circle, it dissipated. If I hadn't been nearby at the time, we wouldn't have discovered it."

"Hmph! The only one who could do this is Nana. My good brother wouldn't care about what's happening here, he's just showing off, telling me he's better than me, and I don't know what he's proud of."

The ripples shook their head helplessly and immediately instructed La Yizhi beside them:

Strengthen our defenses here, especially when Miss Nana arrives.

"Yes, Young Master!"

"I heard from my father that Emilio's griffin is having problems, but he keeps making excuses about not taking care of it. What happened next"

"I'm not sure about that. Let me find someone to inquire about it right now."

La Ye immediately said.

"Don't alarm Emilio, it doesn't matter if we can't find out."

"Don't worry, young master. I know how to handle it."

For the next month, Emilio and Nana disappeared from Ripple's sight, and Laye failed to glean any useful information. She was about to try harder when Ripple stopped her.

This wasn't a big deal anyway. Emilio didn't resolve the demonic energy within his beast core, and sooner or later his beast would go berserk. He himself would enter a frenzied state as well. Especially since he used life force expenditure to level up to a high mage, this would make him even more susceptible.

Ripple hasn't left the house this month. Besides needing to rest, she also wanted to sum up her experiences and learn more about magic arrays.

That day, La Ye rushed into Lian Yi's magic practice room and whispered,

"Young Master, something has happened to the Kenny family!"

What happened

Master Emilio went to visit his grandparents at Kenny's house, bringing Nana with him. Unexpectedly, his fantasy beast, the Rhinoceros Crocodile, suddenly broke free from its contract mark and went berserk, attacking those around it. Without any preparation, many people died in the chaos.

By the time everyone reacted and wanted to stop him, Master Emilio was also affected and started attacking people with magic circles. In the end, he even detonated himself along with his phantom beast, nearly destroying one-third of the Kenny family's land. The old head of the family and his wife were both killed.

La Ye finished speaking and swallowed nervously. He thought the young master was a ruthless person too.

Ripple just raised an eyebrow and said thoughtfully:

"How coincidental, the crocodile started going crazy just at this moment"

"Did the young master find it too coincidental"

"Don't you think so"

“I don’t know! But when the young master was out adventuring before, he found something unusual about the frenzied monsters and sent the news back to the family. Even everyone on the entire magic continent knew about it. There's no reason the eldest young master wouldn't know, but why didn't he stop this threat”

The Earth Rhino is a high-level phantom beast, specializing in attacks. To move its core, the Earth Rhino won't cooperate willingly and could even see a decrease in its power level. That's why Emilio hesitated to make a move.

Moreover, this time he took a potion with severe side effects to promote himself to a Great Mage in order to suppress me. This disrupted his body's balance and he couldn't control the unknown force, which led to both him and the phantom beast going mad.

"I see."

"Where's father"

He has already taken people to Kenny's house.

Luo Ye could only see the head of the family, accompanied by three elders, hastily leaving.

"Then I won't go and join in the commotion, you better not run around either. Let's just stay home safely and wait for news."

Ripple held her magic staff.

Yes, young master!

La Ye respectfully exited the magic practice room and went outside to wait for firsthand news.

Ripple turned the magic staff in her hand, calling out to her communicator in her mind:

"Mortar, what's the matter with Emilio I last examined his body, he shouldn't be controlled by demonic energy this quickly."

"It was done by Connor Rhodes."

"Huh"

This was actually beyond Ripples' expectations.

"Why"

"What else could it be Emilio is wicked and stupid. He twice used the Kenny family's power to try and kill you secretly. Shouldn't your father wait for the Kenny family to make a third move against you" from the house and left her an old house. He said it was half of what their parents left behind. Now that the house is valuable, he wants his share back. Of course she wouldn't agree, so they started...
