After a bout of heart-wrenching despair, pounding her chest, and impotent rage, Mina finally managed to stabilize her emotions enough to carefully observe the water prison around her, contemplating how she might escape.
However, Considering her insignificant strength, the possibility of escape was virtually non-existent.
Therefore, Mina was more focused on thinking about what she should do next.
Yet, While contemplating her future course of action, Mina's attention was first drawn to another figure.
??!
Huh?
There's soone else in the water prison?!
With slightly more stable emotions, Mina now noticed another figure existing in the corner of the water prison.
The dim light cast faint shadows, revealing a disheveled and wretched figure. A golden-haired man was hunched over, covered in wounds, like a forsaken corner ravaged by ti.
His hair was extrely ssy, the golden strands covered with mud and bloodstains, tangled locks falling across his face, unable to hide his exhausted countenance. His clothes were tattered, stained with dirt and mud, with blood marks at his wounds making his entire body appear even more bedraggled.
The dampness of the water prison made the golden-haired man's clothes stick to his body, the wet sensation intensifying his chill. He sat wearily against the corner, his eyes revealing deep exhaustion.
...
Facing this disheveled figure who sowhat resembled Larkett, Mina frowned in confusion. "Who are you?"
Hearing these words filled with wariness, the golden-haired man trembled slightly and looked up at Mina with so displeasure. Even in his sorry state, his eyes still contained a trace of arrogance.
Clearly, this man had once held an unusual position.
"I... who am I? Daring to speak to in that tone... you have the nerve... huh??!"
However, Contrary to Mina's expectations, upon seeing her face, the man was suddenly stunned. In his eyes, Mina seed to bizarrely overlap with another figure.
And at the mont he saw that figure, the golden-haired man's expression changed dramatically. An indescribable terror and unease suddenly washed over his face.
"Aaaaaaaah!!! Y-y-y-you, why are you here?!! Y-y-you, aren't you dead?!"
In an instant, The man's arrogance vanished, replaced by panic and anxiety. He curled up in the corner, seemingly trying to stay as far away from Mina as possible.
He appeared to see not an ordinary black-haired girl, but a terrifying demon.
This scene left Mina completely confused. "What do you an why am I here? I'm not dead either. What are you talking about?"
"Huh???"
Hearing this, the golden-haired man cald down slightly and shakily looked up at Mina. After confirming it was his mistake, the horrified expression on his face eased sowhat.
"You? You look similar, but you're not her..."
"What are you talking about?"
"You're Fanzi Mina, right?"
The man asked with lingering fear, taking a deep breath.
To this, Mina nodded slightly. "Yes..."
"Hehe, indeed... looks like grandfather still did it."
"Grandfather? You an Taro?! Who exactly are you?"
"? Wilt Felder..."
"Larkett's brother??"
As his na registered, Mina's brows imdiately furrowed. Guided by instinct, what little spiritual energy she had left gradually compressed in her palm, ready to guard against Wilt.
"You're the Felder Family's eldest young master? Larkett's ntally unstable brother?"
"Ha, haha, I suppose so."
"If you're the eldest young master, why are you in the water prison?"
"Why am I here? Probably because I did so things that others consider signs of ntal instability."
"What?"
"Quite a few things, most of which you wouldn't understand. Anyway, the most recent one was opposing my grandfather's decision to bring you back."
"Opposing?"
Hearing this, Mina's eyebrows slightly furrowed. "You..."
"Don't overthink it. I don't like you, and I'm not so good person. The reason I opposed it was simply because I was wary of your brother."
"Brother? Hehe... then you're quite foolish. Kenzou... hasn't he already been killed by you people?"
"I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about your other brother."
"Sister Yumo?"
Mina exclaid in surprise.
She couldn't understand how her beautiful, harmless sister could beco soone others feared.
However, Before Mina could respond, Wilt gave a resigned smile:
"Hehe, Sister Yumo? So that person really is a woman. Even dressed as a man? How awful. How nice it would be if she just wore won's clothes properly. Then I wouldn't have mistaken her for a cute boy... wouldn't have had improper thoughts about her, and wouldn't have ended up in this situation."
Wilt mused to himself with regret.
Recalling the suffocating pressure he felt when he looked into that black-haired girl's eyes years ago, Wilt couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Truly, a damned monster..."
"Don't you dare talk about my sister like that!"
Mina shouted angrily.
"My sister is so gentle and cute, what the hell does she have to do with being a monster?!"
"Huh?"
Wilt raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but sneer.
"It seems that although you're her sister, you apparently don't know anything, do you? In that case, let explain a little... ten years ago..."
...
...
Perhaps due to being confined for too long and feeling stifled, Wilt chose not to hide anything and told Mina everything that happened ten years ago.
Including how he took a liking to Yumo, whom he thought was a cute boy, how he was frightened into ntal collapse by her gaze, and how the family sent assassins to seek revenge against her.
As these words reached her ears, Mina couldn't help but clench her fists, hatred and killing intent continuously spilling from her eyes.
Ten years ago? These Felder Family beasts had been targeting my family for ten years?!
"So you're saying that the Abyssal Demon that killed Sister Yumo back then was also summoned by you people?!!"
"No."
Wilt denied it bluntly:
"We never summoned any Demons. That Abyssal Demon was summoned by her! That sister of yours is just a damn monster!! She casually summoned a Lv6 Abyss Demon and killed all dozens of our Felder Family's ambushers?!! She's not as gentle as you think, okay?!"
"Nonsense!!"
Unable to tolerate it any longer, Mina shouted in anger again.
For soone slandering her sister, Mina wanted nothing more than to grind them into the ground. But due to her lack of strength, the girl seemingly could only rage helplessly.
Hearing this, Wilt smirked contemptuously:
"Nonsense? You think it's nonsense too? Hehe, well, I suppose without personally experiencing that pressure, you couldn't possibly understand my thoughts... Neither you, nor Larkett, nor grandfather... none of you can understand."
"..."
"A monster like that couldn't possibly have just died in a car accident. She must be hiding sowhere, observing this world..."
Although his judgnt had no basis, Wilt insisted on this view.
And for this very reason, He had now beco the Felder Family's useless eldest young master and ended up in this water prison.
However, Deep down, Wilt didn't regret it.
His intuition told him that only this way could he survive.
"Anyway, believe it or not. I just never intended to be your enemy... you don't need to be so wary of , I won't hurt you. Hehe, I'm not looking to die, hehe... hahahahaha!!"
"..."
Staring at Wilt's face, Mina's eyes narrowed slightly.
Although this eldest young master's mind seed sowhat disturbed and his thoughts jumbled, he apparently had no intention of harming her. Realizing this, Mina gradually relaxed her tightly clenched fists.
Afterwards, The girl turned her attention to the water prison barriers.
On the other side, Seeming to guess Mina's thoughts, Wilt directly advised:
"Don't think about resisting... everyone outside is an enemy, each stronger than you, and because of the engagent ceremony... countless powerful experts from various clans have gathered at the Felder estate. You trying to escape? That's just seeking death."
"..."
"You might as well just stay here... if your sister really cares about you, she won't abandon you."
With that, Wilt leisurely sank back into the water, leaving Mina alone, standing in place with conflicted thoughts.
"How could Sister Yumo not care about ..."
But, Sister is so weak, At the the park, a Lv6 Abyss Demon terrified her... how could she possibly co here to rescue ?
Mina believed Yumo wouldn't abandon her, but she didn't want Yumo to co.
After all, that would be like A lamb entering the tiger's den? What difference would it make?
"I shouldn't overthink... hmm?"
The self-deprecating girl's words cut short, as she looked at her shoulder with so surprise.
There, A beautiful butterfly emitting a silvery-white light had sohow alighted on Mina's shoulder...
"What, what is this?"
