Chapter 257: Trap (plus 6800)

On the stage.

Like a dancer entering the dance floor with his partner, the old gentleman holds the girl's hand and bows to the audience.

"Vonila Salibato... eighteen years old, healthy, no illness... has noble blood... from the branch of Salibato Viscount Family..."

"Volunteering to be an assistant, to help 'Old Count' prepare the appetizer fruit."

The host's voice surges.

William's hands and feet are ice cold as he watches the girl join the old gentleman reciting invisible spells.

'Old Count' bows again to the audience, invoking his invisible curse.

A scarlet fog envelops the girl, and the sound of tender buds unfurling is heard.

Amidst the blood-red mist, a strange plant grows rapidly, with branches heavy with... pomegranate fruit?

This scene makes William's eyes widen.

'Is she mad? Performing the invisible skill in broad daylight is sure evidence for the investigation bureau!'

'Am I crazy? Or is the world crazy? Why would anyone do this?'
