Most girls didn't know that Hailee had woken up from a coma and Vincent had returned. The knights did not tell them to prevent any news from reaching Samuel, whose n prowled everywhere.
The Priti news and social dia platforms were filled with information that Vincent was still hiding, and it was not safe for him to co out. Many speculate that maybe Vincent is only hiding inside Dream City.
In these passing days, reporters have been camping outside Dream City gates to interview anyone to get a piece of information.
Even though the two families held a press conference, the world is still waiting for Hailee's statent regarding her husband's assassination. They understood that her pregnancy was sensitive; thus, they wondered what had happened to her.

The Alliance HQ, Italy
Lounging in his ward, Liam keenly watched the news on a computer. After reading nurous articles, he watched Hailee and Vincent's docuntary.
In the video, Hailee looked stunning in her wedding gown as she walked down the aisle. It showed the tis she looked at Vincent, and her eyes glowered with delight. It was apparent how much she was in love with him.
Playing the video all over again, Liam didn't notice that it had already moistened his eyes as he muttered, "My little sister…."
He felt a mixture of sadness and happiness. At the sa ti, resentnt toward a particular person.
"Would you like to see her?"
Soone spoke at the door all of a sudden. Liam turned his head. He saw Klein Williams leaning on the door jamb.
Three hundred years ago, Klein Williams was Carlisle's twin brother, known in this lifeti as Shun Crow. After Klein acquires his immortality with the dark shaman's help, he chose to be reborn two hundred years ago.
During the Joseon Dynasty, he was known as Dae-Hyun Chen, the king's general, in which he and Shun sotis shifted souls to investigate important events related to their past. So at the mont, Shun and Cassandra were ti traveling in the Joseon era to gather so information.
"Am I allowed to do that?" Liam queried.
Klein walked toward the empty sofa and sat across from Liam. "Of course."
After he replied to Liam, he placed a cell phone on the table and paused it toward him. But Liam asked why he had given him a phone.
"Soone will ring you soon…."
Not long, the phone played its ringtone. The na on the screen struck Liam in the chest.
~~ Xing Shen ~~
Four hundred years ago, Shen was the Emperor's first na, and his surna was Xing.
But after that day, he escaped with the Emperor's son, and the prince's surna changed to Shen.
In fact, it was he who gave the crowned prince's na as…
~~ Shen Ming Jian ~~
"Pick it up. It's for you." Klein urged Liam to pick up the call.
Liam was hesitant to answer the phone. He and Vincent may have treated each other as brothers in the past. However, they beco enemies in this life after that man manipulates him.
How many tis had he orchestrated Vincent's death? It's all because the dark shaman sses up his mories, which infuriates him. Now that he is free from that man, he can rember his previous life mories.
All these years, that person did a terrible thing in his life. He never suspected that it was Robert Lee who did sothing to his family so that he would beco an orphan. That man is only waiting for an opportunity to manipulate him and beco his puppet by using the wound in his heart.
Hence, he tried to make Hailee and Vincent's love story beco a tragic one.
Recounting his terrible actions, Liam cleared his head and braced himself. After gathering so courage, he answered the phone with a hoarse voice.
"Hello?"
"How are you, Liam?"
Liam closed his eyes while listening to the voice on the other line. He uttered, "It has been a while, Vincent."
He was careful not to stamr his words, especially when his mories were still ssing up with him. There is a voice deep inside him that urges him to address Vincent as Your Majesty instead of simply calling his na.
"Yeah. It has been a long ti."
"How's Hailee? Shun told she was in a coma after the doctor perford a cesarean delivery." With his query, he heard Vincent sighing on the other line.
"She was in a coma for a week but is doing well now."
"That's a relief! How about the babies?" He was anxious to hear about them.
"The babies are responding to the treatnt. They are doing well."
"I'm glad to hear that." Liam breathed a sigh of relief. Then he contemplated the matter, and he muttered with regret afterward. He said, "If sothing had happened, I can't forgive myself."
"Let bygones be bygones," said Vincent. In his mind, Liam is not at fault at all, but that man is. So they should not entirely bla him. Thus, Vincent encouraged him to put everything behind him. "It's all in the past now."
Even though Vincent had said all of that to console him, Liam still felt terrible and regretful. So he made a promise.
"Vincent, I will do everything to make it up to you and Hailee. Especially for the children."
When Liam quoted that, Vincent pulled the corner of his mouth. He believes that the real Liam would really an this. From there on, it was the perfect ti to explain why he called him personally instead of relaying a word Klein or Levi.
"Liam, I have sothing for you to do." He then opened up.
"What is it? I will do whatever it is."
Vincent was glad to sense the willingness in Liam's voice. It was what he expected from him.
"I'm glad to hear your willingness," said Vincent. "Let say this first. I'm sure that you already know what happened to . Samuel attacked recently. I know it was his master's command…."
"Robert Lee…" Liam cut Vincent halfway to reveal the dark shaman's identity in this lifeti.
Klein Williams, who is not from this lifeti, asked innocently. "Who is Robert Lee?"
On the other line, Vincent hurriedly gestures to Levi to bring him so paper and a pen. Vincent wrote Robert Lee on the paper with the caption, "The dark shaman, Samuel's master."
"Holy shot! Robert Lee is the thirteenth billionaire in the world!" Levi shrieked. Before Shun went on travel ti, he assigned Levi to take care of this once Liam woke up and revealed the na of his master.
Now that Liam revealed the identity of their enemy, Levi imdiately phoned several people, including Interpol, the Alliance, and International Law, to take imdiate action against Robert Lee.
Soon, Robert Lee's assets and properties will freeze, and he can no longer use his wealth.
"So, that man possessed Robert Lee's body as his new identity?" asked Vincent.
Liam replied, "Yes. Master Shun has a list of billionaires he ordered to investigate. But before I gather more information and find out who among them is doing illegal activities, the dark shaman captures my soul. Since then, he could manipulate to do things, including betraying the Alliance."
"Hmm… But it was great that you are now back to us," said Vincent aningfully.
"Yeah. It indeed feels so great to rember everything."
"That's good. We need to defeat him soon."
"He owes big ti. There is nothing I want to do but cut his head." Liam gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Then, there is sothing I want you to pick up sothing in P Country."
"You wanted to fly to tro City?" he was confused, but Vincent must have important things he wanted him to deal with.
"Yes. The world still believes I am hiding. So I can't go anywhere yet. I asked Mr. Williams to arrange a plane and a group of bodyguards for you."
"What do you want to pick up from there?" Liam asked curiously.
"I want you to get the sword."
Liam clenched his free hand into a fist. Vincent need not explain what kind of sword he was talking about.
No other sword in this world could harm that man, and he knew it very well because he was present when the sorceress rebuilt that sword.
He also carried it when he escaped with the Imperial crowned prince four hundred years ago. He could still rember every detail of the sword.
