Chapter 639 Ashton's Changes

Still, he couldn't scold himself and sigh in regret,

'Ha! My greed had blinded me. I should have at least tried to find why that kid was in the Fuller estate before taking action.'

But since there was no use in crying over the spilled milk, he looked at Dean who seemed to want to keep talking and asked,

"What do you plan to do now?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Instead of answering, Dean just stared at him.

Wiley stared back, meeting his gaze.

After a few seconds, Dean asked, "Before I tell you that, I need to know if you are sure he had the thunder sword."

Wiley straightened his spine, and secretly took out the [Witch's Destruction Talisman] before nodding, "Yes. I'm sure."

Hearing this, Dean grinned, "Good. As for what we are going to do..." While speaking, he stood up and respectfully bowed toward the door.

Swoosh!

Right at that moment, the doors flung open and a stern looking older lady, giving off a strong presence walked in.

Count Wiley jumped to his feet, his grip on the talisman tightening as he cautiously stared at her... the Dalton Matriarch, ready to risk it all.

Meanwhile, Dean finished his words, "... my Matriarch would tell us."

Helen, the Dalton Matriarch, nodded at Dean, allowing him to stand properly before glancing at Count Wiley.

Noticing his nervousness, she faintly smiled, "There is nothing to worry about, Wiley. You are a family member and we don't harm our own family."

Wiley wanted to scoff at this. Sure his sister was Dean's wife, but he knew if benefitted them, Dean, no, even his sister wouldn't hesitate to kill him.

"You lowlife... you'll regret it. I'll make you regret... cough, cough, ever being born!"

...

Ninam City... Garfield Mansion...

Esther, Amelia, Mina and Anna were gathered in a room, all of them sporting worried looks on their faces.

Mina glanced at Amelia and asked, "Did he not talk to you today either?"

Amelia, eyes red, tears threatening to fall, nodded, "Yeah. He... seems to have changed completely. He isn't as loving and caring... he has become too indifferent and distant."

Esther bit her lip when she heard her words while Mina sighed and her shoulders slumped.

Seeing this, Anna clapped her hands and said in a cheerful tone, "Don't worry mother, Aunt Esther, Aunt Mina... it should be temporary. He should return to his normal self soon."

The ladies just nodded at her words, clearly not believing them. Even Amelia, who always had a positive outlook at everything, was pessimistic.

After a while, Anna left the room and sighed, her bright eyes brimming with tears. "Why? Why is everything going wrong?"

Just a few days ago, when they gave Ashton [Drop of Life], he had completely recovered. Not only the situation caused by the [Devil Blood] revered, even his cracked mana core had completely recovered and even his cultivation had completely solidified, and he could easily break through to the Four Star realm after a few days of rest.

They were very happy, thinking everything was going to be alright from now on.

But the next day when they woke up, their happiness turned into worry because Ashton seemed to have turned into a completely different person.

He stopped talking and stopped spending time with them. If he was sad or depressed, they would understand that he wasn't feeling well and that was why he wasn't talking to them.

But he was completely fine. Even more heart wrenching was the fact that every time they went to talk to him, he would be very indifferent and cold and would look at them as if they weren't his family but some strangers... or servants.

"It's all because of that accursed bloodline. If it hadn't awakened, he wouldn't have changed."

Anna gritted her teeth, and her eyes blazed with fury as the image of his now golden pupils flashed in her mind.
