Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 579: The Reason for the Existence of the Clan of Celestial Masters

Chapter 579: Chapter 579: The Reason for the Existence of the Clan of Celestial Masters

Selena Kensington responded calmly.

Sterling Norwood noticed the lack of enthusiasm in Selena’s tone.

He took Selena’s hand, pulling her into his embrace.

In a low voice, he asked, "Did you see Mrs. Hill?"

"Yes, confirmed it."

"Mrs. Hill is Nancy Kensington, my aunt."

After saying this, Selena looked up at Sterling.

"Are you still hiding something from me?"

There was a hint of threat in her voice.

"..."

Sterling was stunned, feeling a trace of nervousness.

Could it be that his wife already knew?

No way, only he and Silvester Norwood knew about this...

So, what Selena was referring to wasn’t what Sterling had in mind.

Then, Sterling only had one last thing he was keeping from Selena.

Regarding that organization.

"Did Mrs. Hill tell you everything?"

Upon hearing Sterling’s words, Selena knew he was admitting it.

A sudden surge of anger welled up within Selena, and she reached out, unceremoniously pinching Sterling’s face.

"Well, you really kept it from me!"

Sterling stayed silent, letting Selena vent her anger on him.

After squeezing for a while, Selena noticed that no matter how hard she pinched Sterling, he remained unmoved.

The fire within her instantly subsided.

She raised her hand, "Okay, you win."

Sterling placed her not-yet-lowered hand beside his face, rubbing against it.

"The organization’s movements are too mysterious, and their forces have always been outside the city, so I can’t ensure your safety."

Thus, the less Selena knew, the safer she would be.

"But it’s obvious that this organization is targeting... you all."

Selena looked at Sterling with concern.

Though she didn’t know where the Godsbane Organization learned of the existence of the Fell Beasts’ descendants.

It was clear that they might have always been secretly observing these descendants.

And as a family guarded by The Beast Lord, the Norwood Family would surely attract their attention.

Sterling nodded slightly.

"Decades ago, those people founded a research institute in Aethelgard."

"They claimed their experiments could improve the physical condition and genes of ordinary people, granting them iron-like bodies."

"Because of this empty promise, many members of influential families were brainwashed and lured into joining."

"But the experiment was extremely unstable and could result in death at any moment. Moreover, the Fell Bloodline was highly repulsive to humans, and forcibly integrating the Fell Bloodline ultimately led to the body exploding."

"Initially, a few deaths during the experiment didn’t attract the attention of The Empire or the Norwood Family, but as some young nobles in high society started dying, we grew cautious."

"However, those people were very vigilant, and when a full-scale capture was underway, their elite already withdrew from Aethelgard."

"With no other choice, The Empire had to execute those already brainwashed family members who were beyond redemption."

Hearing Sterling’s words, Selena was silent for a while.

Finally, her lips curled into a faintly mocking arch.

She looked at Sterling, "I find it very ironic."

"They aspire to bury the Divine, yet still rely on abilities granted by the Divine."

In the past, the Great Demons were blessed creatures by God, and The Beast Lord was even more of a Divine being.

Thus, the blood within the descendants of the Fell Beasts is also a gift from the Divine.

However, those people claim to want to bury the Divine, but they cannot help but rely on the Divine’s power.

Isn’t that very ironic?

Sterling was taken aback, "Why do you say they aspire to bury the Divine?"

"Hmm?"

Selena replied with confusion.

"Aunt said, the organization’s name is ’Godsbane’, didn’t you know?"

She thought Sterling knew.

But seeing Sterling’s expression, it seemed he wasn’t aware of the organization’s name.

Hearing Selena’s words, Sterling’s face immediately darkened.

An aura of violent killing intent seemed to envelop him.

Those people, do they have such blatant intentions?

Godsbane?

Heh.

He would like to see if they had the guts.

Selena noticed the change in Sterling’s demeanor, but it wasn’t directed at her. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

She thought for a moment and realized it was because the name ’Godsbane’ had enraged him.

Selena leaned over and placed a kiss on Sterling’s face.

"One day, we will resolve them."

Sterling tightened his hold on Selena’s waist, saying nothing.

*

The next day, when Selena woke up, Sterling was already gone.

She got up, washed, and went downstairs to finish breakfast before returning to the bedroom.

Once again, she entered a state of meditation.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself in an endless space.

Standing before her was Esther Jennings.

After previous communications, Selena had already understood Esther’s actions.

She sat cross-legged before Esther.

Esther gently looked at her for a while, then sat down opposite her.

Selena suddenly asked, "Aunt Esther, there’s something I don’t quite understand."

Esther looked at her, seemingly waiting for her question.

"Since after the Ancient Times, the Heavenly Master Power hasn’t been very effective."

"So why are there still people born with the Heavenly Master Bloodline today?"

This was something Selena had always wondered about.

In nature, it’s survival of the fittest.

But the Clan of Celestial Masters, although dwindling, has never truly gone extinct.

And despite their decline, there would still be Heavenly Masters born.

If the Heavenly Master Bloodline couldn’t adapt to survive in society, it would have been eliminated by the environment’s evolution.

After all, compared to the Fell Bloodline, the Heavenly Master Bloodline’s only remaining function is to nourish the body.

Yet, the Heavenly Master Bloodline persists.

Esther’s gaze remained gentle, but Selena sensed her eyes infused with a warmth that wasn’t there earlier.

"You have great insight."

Esther’s voice was like a sigh.

Selena looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

"The reason the Heavenly Master Bloodline has persisted and never truly gone extinct is simply because the hatred between the Clan of Celestial Masters and the Fell Beasts has never been fully resolved."

Selena slightly furrowed her brows, "But wasn’t the curse already...?"

Selena didn’t finish her sentence because she saw Esther looking at her with a smile.

Selena was taken aback.

This seemed to be her first time seeing Esther display a different expression.

"A curse is more than just a curse."

"It represents thousands of years of hatred and conflict between the Heavenly Masters and the Fell Beasts."

Hearing Esther’s following words, Selena understood.

The curse, once set, determined the continuation of millennia-old hatred and conflict between the Heavenly Masters and the Fell Beasts.

Though in modern society, it doesn’t lead to large-scale conflicts, some skirmishes still occur.

Millennia-old hatred and conflict, how can it just be resolved like that?
