Extra's Harem: Invincibility Starts with Marriage and lots of Children-Chapter 93 : Chaoter 93- An Illusion

Kyle stood there, his gaze fixed on the woman before him.

'It could be possible,' he mused, the thought settling in his mind.

The chances of this woman being here for the Progeny Stone were high—especially considering that there was no exact date mentioned for when the stone had been stolen.

It had simply appeared in the possession of a major figure within that particular kingdom.

But then again, if she truly sought the Progeny Stone, she should be lurking around the royal library or the main palace, not in the princess's quarters—a place completely unrelated to the artifact.

That contradiction made him push aside the suspicion for now.

Whatever she was after, he would learn the truth soon enough once he captured her.

'Show me the stats of this artifact,' he commanded, shifting his focus away from the woman as he continued his walk, distancing himself from her.

Instead, his attention turned toward the artifact—one of those he had obtained, originally in the possession of one of the four individuals under the Exorcism Sect whom he had killed.

When he stored their dead bodies in his inventory, their dimensional rings and weapons were stored as individual items, making it fortunate that he had it all when the princess just took the bodies away.

At the time of adding, he had glanced at the descriptions of artifacts and noticed one had the ability to communicate with ghosts.

So, he just confirmed it.

'Merged it,' Kyle ordered, moving through the sunbathed corridor. He turned at a junction, heading straight toward the princess's chamber—his original destination.

Now that he had uncovered a spy within the palace, his course of action was to lead this woman directly toward the trap. Given his own strength, he could not catch this woman alive.

As the command was processed, a sudden glow and a momentary spark appeared across the domain.

He could clearly see it for the first time, observing his domain becoming translucent and then transparent, which visually confirmed the exact size of his domain—13 meters in radius within a spherical area.

'Let's catch the rat, then.'

'How dare a mortal!' Standing within the empty corridor and looking with her downcast gaze and side glance towards the turn, Mei Lianhua couldn't help but recall each moment of surprise, frustration, and anger born from that worthless man who was clearly a mortal.

The information received from the beggar sect regarding him being in the second layer was a complete lie.

Not only was that particular fact a lie, but also his behavior was trash.

Unlike what was mentioned about him seeming to be focused on training with very little cruelty towards servants, she realized how fake this data was. He was too unbearable.

'I will deal with the beggar sect afterwards.'

"Haa... No, it's better this way." Taking a long breath, given how her plan within the Wei family, involving the son of Peng Wei, had already failed with his death, all her efforts of thirty years had become futile.

Living here, with only the intention of getting her hands on that artifact, had become meaningless with the death of that boy whom she wanted to use as a pawn.

The last information she received about his death included the fact that Kyle Arcutus's carriage was nearby at that time.

She had engaged in a fake pregnancy, stolen a child, and raised him as her own while fulfilling her duty.

She had done everything perfectly until suddenly everything shattered in the blink of an eye with the death of that boy.

And the only lead toward the one who had failed her whole effort was this Kyle Arcutus, who, despite the information from the beggar sect being wrong, seemed to be a mortal.

This gave her an advantage, as it would be a non-struggling hassle between them, allowing her to easily kidnap and torture him to death.

Either way, they would know who killed her fake son, or she could just use him by feeding him the Heart Gu to control him and blackmail him into giving her the Progeny Stone himself.

So it didn't matter even if her plan failed; she now had an opportunity, sensing that the princess was not here and that there were no strong soldiers or security within the palace.

It was a chance to feed the Heart Gu to Kyle Arcutus and gain control over him.

"Sleep? Even better." With her gaze lifting towards the corridor, she started to walk.

With her fingers swirling, a small centipede emerged from her ring, wriggling over her finger as it got closer and was clenched in her fist.

She walked effortlessly toward the corridor, clearly intending to feed this Gu to the man who was, first, a mortal, and second, was going to sleep.

'Should I use him to take the princess hostage?' While moving through the corridor, she felt that not only could she get her hands on the Progeny Stone if she used the situation well, but she also had the chance to use Kyle Arcutus to lure the princess into a trap, potentially kidnapping her or even eliminating her, as she was one of the royalty.

There were many things she considered, clearly knowing what she had to do with him once the usefulness of Kyle Arcutus ended.

She finally arrived at the hallway, and the door to the princess's room was visible as the centipede in her hand started to move.

Krrrrkkkk

It slowly fell on the floor, crawling on its own as if recognizing its target.

She made her way forward and instantly took out two daggers, preparing herself in case of any attack.

Bam!

Her foot kicked the door, which swung open. Her eyes quickly locked onto Kyle, who stood in the middle of the room with his back toward her.

In an instant, the centipede lurched forward in a zigzag motion with speed faster than reflexes.

But before the centipede could act, her body moved forward, directly swinging the dagger as she arrived beside him and placed its edge against his neck.

"Urgh!—"

"Don't move." Her voice was sharp as she spoke, the dagger nearly pressing into his neck, drawing blood as she tightened her grip.

Due to the angle from behind, she couldn't see his face, yet the Heart Gu directly crawled over his body as her hand swiftly covered Kyle's mouth, forcing it open.

"Arrghhh!" The sound of him suffocating as the centipede crawled into his mouth echoed through the room.

She held him firmly to prevent any movement.

In response to his clear struggle, he stopped as his hands tried to grasp his neck but met with paralysis.

"Shut up!" Mei used her forefinger and middle finger to block his meridians and acupuncture points.

Her hand, much faster, clearly passed through his muscular back and hit the vital point.

"Grrrr.....Khwackk—" Finally, with the sound of the worm entering his mouth and settling near his heart, the cough he produced allowed her to release him before she turned him toward her and swiftly swung her fist into his face.

Bam!

With the forceful impact to his face, the young man fell flat on the floor, losing consciousness instantly, with blood flowing freely from his nose.
