After returning to the Sterling manor, I sent some people to discreetly monitor Julian’s
movements.
The ingredients and medicinal herbs used in the Sterling manor were also subjected to strict inspections.
But events still unfolded completely beyond my expectations.
Because this time, the beast-man riot happened at the Blackwood estate.
By the time I arrived, the Blackwood estate was in utter chaos.
The beast-men kept by the Blackwoods roared and stampeded amidst the raging flames, furiously smashing every visible object.
Memories I had deliberately suppressed were violently reawakened.
This hellish scene was identical to the riot that had once engulfed the Sterling manor.
The only difference was-
The Sterling family treated beast-men with kindness, so when they lost control, they were
still screaming for me to run.
They even self-immolated in the blaze to avoid harming me.
Their bodies utterly consumed, turned to ash.
A bone-chilling hatred almost swallowed me whole.
I heard Julian’s voice behind me, like a demon crawling out of hell.
He said, “Anya, I avenged you.”
