Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

A more accurate description would be...

Of course, Aozaki Touko couldn't tell them the truth: "It was all because I ran into him while on a mission a while ago that all this happened."

He glanced at the newspaper on the table; the front page headline was about the terrorist attacks in London last night. He put down his teacup and said, "He was the culprit who destroyed the clock tower last night."

"What did you say?!"

Lydia couldn't help but gasp.

Aozaki Aoko also looked at her in surprise.

Even Kuonji Yuju couldn't help but look at Aozaki Aoko with a solemn expression.

Although the location mentioned in the news seemed to include the area of ​​the Clock Tower, they automatically excluded the Clock Tower, after all, it was one of the undisputed overlords of the Underworld.

The Clock Tower has stood in London for a thousand years without falling.

They simply couldn't imagine what terrifying being could have caused such a huge incident, or why they would have done it.

“Yesterday he went to London, transformed into a black dragon, and destroyed the Clock Tower headquarters.”

"Enolai, along with ninety percent of the magicians who remained at the Clock Tower, and nearly half of London's citizens, all died at his hands."

"Lord Inole is dead too?!"

Lydia's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

Kuonji Yuju's hand, holding the black tea cup, trembled slightly, causing a few drops of tea to splash onto the sofa and the floor.

“Yes, they died without even leaving a body, their magic crests were completely destroyed, and the Baljereta family is in complete chaos.” Aozaki Touko’s tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.

"So, what is the purpose of your visit?" Kuonji Yuzu asked, looking at Aozaki Touko.

"He offered me an exorbitant price that I couldn't refuse."

Aozaki Touko's gaze fell on Aozaki Aoko, a half-smile playing on her lips: "Let me kill you."

Aozaki Aoko's eyes sharpened instantly.

Lydia nervously took two steps back.

Kuonji Yuzu, however, glanced at Aozaki Touko twice before reverting to her previous elegant demeanor, picking up the still-steaming cup of black tea and taking a small sip.

Aozaki Aoko was surprised to see Kuonji Yuju in this state.

Reacted immediately.

Since Aozaki Touko came directly to her, it means she must have other intentions, probably wanting to cooperate with her?

So what exactly do you want to do?

"I originally intended to..."

Before Aozaki Touko could finish speaking, the phone rang.

The women in the living room all looked toward the sound.

"Sorry, it's Dad on the phone. I'll go outside to answer it."

Lydia awkwardly took out her phone, jogged out of the mansion, and answered the call as she walked down the mountain.

"dad..."

Lidel didn't finish her sentence.

Then, her adoptive father's somewhat anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Are you at the Kuonji residence?"

"Yes, Dad, what's wrong?"

"I will send someone to pick you up right now. From this moment on, you must stay with Kuonji Temple and be careful of any strangers."

Lydia became even more confused upon hearing this. Thinking of Aozaki Touko who had just arrived, she subconsciously asked, "Is it related to Lin Jiu'an and Linglong Pavilion?"

"how do you know?"

The foster father asked instinctively, but then added, "That's right, he has an assassin who can create countless clones and perfectly impersonate anyone. Many Clock Tower magicians have already died there..."

Lydia's adoptive father hadn't finished speaking.

Lydia then heard the bodyguard's exclamations and screams coming from a distance on the other end of the phone.

"Who are you?!"

"Don't come near!"

'Bang!' 'Bang!' 'Bang!'

"what!!!"

Gunshots and screams rang out incessantly, followed by the sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh, and the dull thuds of bodies falling to the ground and cell phones crashing to the floor.

"Dad?! Dad?!!"

Lydia screamed in panic, clutching her phone.

A few seconds later, the sound of a phone being picked up came from the other end, followed by a smiling, unusually young male voice.

"Hey, sweetie, what's up?"

"Who are you?! Where is my dad?!" Lydia's eyes were red, and her little face was full of anger.

You mean your ex-father?

the other side.

Lin Jiu'an looked down at the corpse of Lydia's adoptive father, who was lying on the ground, bleeding from his chest, with his eyes wide open and unable to close in death.

"died."

"You?! Who are you?! Aren't you afraid of our Archerlot's revenge?"

Acherot.

The monarch lineage of the Clock Tower plant family.

Despite its aristocratic nature, it had a strong media influence and even dabbled in military enterprises until the previous generation.

Lydia herself was a member of the Archerlot family.

And Lydia's adoptive father.

He was an ordinary person in the Acherlot family with poor magical talent, so he gave up the path of magic and developed in the business field for the sake of the family. With the help of the family, he has now become the boss of a famous multinational company.

It is the most powerful of the twelve monarch families in the world of clock towers, and also the main force targeting the Linglong Pavilion in the fields of economy and news.

"My name is Lin Jiu'an."

Upon hearing that name, Lydia felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

The anger and tears on her face stopped, and only then did she realize that her hand holding the phone was trembling. Then, tears fell silently again due to fear.

"Actually, things aren't that bad."

Lin Jiu'an's smiling voice continued through the microphone, enticingly saying, "Anyway, he's your adoptive father."

“Your adoptive father is dead, so let’s find another one.”

"I can give you anything he can give you. If you're willing, I can even support you to become the monarch of Acherlot, as long as you're willing to call me master."

Due to some force majeure reasons.

Although Lin Jiu'an really wanted to take over her adoptive father's job as the CEO of a multinational corporation, he had to settle for second best.

"You...you're dreaming!" Lydia said, her eyes red and her voice trembling.

Although she was a complete materialist and never denied it, her adoptive father treated her very well.

Should she be forced to acknowledge the man who killed her adoptive father as her master?

It's impossible!

"Oh, so you want to go against me?" Lin Jiu'an's voice, which had been smiling, gradually turned cold, and by the end it carried a hint of murderous intent.

Lydia's body trembled even more violently.

The words of defiance reached his lips, but he couldn't bring himself to say them. He opened his mouth several times, but in the end, tears flowed more freely, and his voice turned into a plea for mercy.

"I'm so sorry, please forgive me..."

"Then what should you call me?"

Lydia's tears flowed even more freely as she sobbed, "...Master...Master."

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Daddy, Lydia is scared.

"Good boy, bark twice more."

"Waaah, Master, Master, waaaah, Master, please, please forgive me, Lydia knows she was wrong, waaaah."

Lydia cried even harder.

The tears in my heart flowed even more fiercely.

She now felt incredibly sorry for her adoptive father, but she couldn't muster the courage to fight against this being who could kill and destroy the Clock Tower and then leave without a trace.

All I could do was keep comforting myself.

First, gain his trust by staying close to him, and one day in the future, you will be able to avenge your adoptive father.

"Since you're being so good, your master will prepare a gift for you."

"Look, at the entrance down the mountain."

Lydia sobbed as she looked down at the gate at the foot of the mountain, where she saw a shiny black minivan slowly pull up in front of the gate.

"Get in the car."

Lydia felt a chill run down her spine.

Doesn't this mean.

He had seen everything Aozaki Touko did.

And if this monster... this master wants to, can kill him anytime, anywhere?

"Yes, Master."

Lydia quickly agreed and, not daring to think any further, descended the mountain.

He opened the iron gate and walked straight to the car, where a petite and beautiful young woman with a full figure and wheat-colored skin was already standing.

"please."

Bai Mao Hassan opened the car door.

Just as Lydia was about to get on the bus, she glanced at the back row and immediately stopped.

On the innermost seat in the back row of the sofa sat a boy with black hair and black eyes.

The boy was very handsome.

Lydia, who works in the entertainment industry and was born into the prestigious Archerlot family of magicians, is used to seeing handsome men, but she still couldn't help but be captivated by the young man in front of her.

Those handsome men I saw before who really caught my eye.

It's not even a green leaf compared to it.

Lydia's eyes were glued to Lin Jiu'an, and she stood at the door staring at him. Her face, which had been pale with fear, flushed slightly.

"What are you standing there for?"

"Ah, oh."

Lydia then realized what was happening and awkwardly got into the car.

Sitting on the sofa near the door, Lydia couldn't help but look at Lin Jiu'an, but as the car started moving, she suddenly came back to her senses.

"You are... Master?"

Due to the technological limitations of this era.

Lin Jiu'an's voice on the phone was somewhat different from his voice in real life, but upon closer listening, Lydia could still clearly tell that it was the same person's voice.

"What, you don't even recognize your master?"

Lydia's blush deepened.
