Freya left the medical room, preparing to make a trip to the Duke's Palace.

Invincible said they needed to lure out the Shadow Specter, so they must obtain a signal flare.

Duke's Palace

Brian and his brother were playing with explosives in the courtyard, bored out of their minds.

These two were notorious mischief-makers, always enjoying tormenting the servants in the palace.

First, they would throw little bamboo whips into the mouths of the servants, resulting in a loud 'bang' that made their mouths smoke and their lips swell.

Brian went even further, stuffing the bamboo whips into the maids' clothes, directly blasting their undergarments to bits.

Please for mercy could be heard throughout the Duke's Palace.

Brian was so playful that he didn't bother asking the servants to beg for mercy, chasing them around and playing with firecrackers.

At this time, Zoey came out.

Lately, with the Duke often away from home, she already felt lonely and empty. Now, seeing the two children wreaking havoc in the Duke's Palace, Zoey was somewhat annoyed.

She scolded the two children sternly, "Brian, Brody, what are you doing? It's time to study. Are you planning to destroy the Duke's Palace again?"

Hearing her voice, the brothers stopped chasing each other.

Brody glanced back at Zoey and pouted, "Mommy, studying is so boring. We have so much homework to do every day; we're about to go crazy."

"Not studying? Do you want to end up like your father, partying day and night?"

Zoey said indignantly.

She knew what Ian had been busy with recently.

A while ago, he had brought home a seductive woman, who blatantly ignored everyone's presence in the mansion and spent who knows how many nights in bed with him.

Later, he sent that woman to Kevin, but they still didn't restrain themselves in private.

Zoey was about to explode with anger.

But she couldn't vent her anger; after all, the last time she had argued with Ian, he seemed to have begun to get tired of her.

Even if she couldn't win Ian's affection, at the very least, she was still the Duchess.

But once she left, she would be nothing.

"Sons, are you bored? Mommy has a little task for you."

Hearing this, Brian and his brother immediately became interested.

"What task?"

"Brody, you go to Julia's store and buy Mommy a set of clothes. Mommy needs them for tonight. As for Brian, you go to the villa on South Street and throw a bomb directly into the master bedroom."

"If you manage to do this, Mommy won't force you to study for the next few days. You can play however you like."

Zoey felt that things couldn't continue like this. Ian despised her mainly because she was no longer young.

So she should take better care of herself.

The other day, she saw Julia's store recommending a set of lingeries that could enchant any man at first sight.

She wanted to buy it and wear it. Maybe Ian would change his mind immediately after seeing it.

As for the small villa on South Street, it is Ian's property.

After receiving intel that Ian had been exclusively spending his time with that woman at the villa, hardly stirring until noon.

She instructed Brian to bomb his property, testing if they would continue their dalliances.

"Don't worry, Mommy, we've got it under control."

The two brothers promptly set off to execute the mission.

Meanwhile, Freya lurked on the opposing floor, observing the scene from above.

Blowing up Ian Logan's villa?

How interesting!

Freya raised an eyebrow, summoned Ella to tail Brody, and pursued Brian herself.

Ian's villa is located in the center of South Street.

Freya trailed behind Brian to the entrance. Upon witnessing Brian sneak in, she mirrored his actions by scaling the wall.

She was intrigued to witness Brian's next move.

As Brian approached a window, preparing to launch a bomb, Freya swiftly jabbed his arm with a needle, halting his actions.

"You..." Brian spun around and spotted Freya. He was taken aback.

Why was he cursed with another encounter with this troublesome woman?

He wanted to scream, but Freya was faster and sealed his vocal cords with one needle.

Eventually, he could only grasp his neck, emitting a feeble whimper.

With no guards present at the villa, Freya harbored no concerns about being detected.

Suddenly, a voice was heard from within the room.

"Darling, seize the opportunity to eliminate Kevin for me."

It was Ian speaking inside.

Freya narrowed her eyes, swiftly grasping the situation.

So it turned out that Zoey sent Brian here to capture and execute them.

This woman was ruthless enough not only to plot an execution but also to have her own son blow up his father.

"No, last time when I poisoned him, Kevin already became suspicious. If I make a move now, he'll definitely notice."

"Then just kill him when you're in bed with him."

Ian only wanted to get rid of Kevin as soon as possible, ascend to the throne, and seize full power.

When that happened, he would have all the military forces of Solterra under his control, plus the fierce Beast Army he had trained. He wasn't afraid he couldn't overthrow Leonard.

"Duke, Kevin is even more vigilant than you imagine. Even when he sleeps, there's always someone by his side. I never have a chance to strike."

Hearing this, Ian lost interest and pushed the woman away.

"Jessica, if you can get rid of Kevin, I'll divorce Zoey immediately and marry you. Then, the position of queen will be yours."

Outside, Freya heard everything clearly.

This man had found a new love and discarded the old one.

Indeed, very few men were decent.

Freya glanced at Brian with a disdainful smirk. "Does your mom know your dad is keeping a mistress?"

"Woo woo …"

Brian couldn't speak, only whimpering incessantly.

Ignoring him, Freya continued to eavesdrop by the wall.

"Don't worry, I'll help you get it done. But Duke, you have to promise me that my son will inherit the throne in the future."

Son?

Was the woman pregnant?

Freya narrowed her eyes deeply, looking at Brian with a gaze filled with sympathy.

"Okay, I promise."

Ian agreed without hesitation.

"Then I'll go back to the palace now and figure it out. You've been busy all night, too. It's time for you to rest. Otherwise, if your wife finds out you didn't return all night, she'll be suspicious."

Jessica gestured kindly for Ian to leave.

Soon, the sound of the door opening could be heard, and Ian Logan, with panda-like eyes, walked out.

At first glance, he seemed to have been indulging excessively and was now suffering from kidney deficiency.

After Ian left, Jessica followed suit and left as well.

Seeing this, Freya directly removed the silver needle from Brian's vocal cords and said, "Kid, would you like to cooperate to protect your mother's position as the legitimate wife?"

"How do we cooperate?"

Brian could also hear the conversation inside clearly.

He hadn't expected his father to be so despicable, actually keeping a mistress outside.

His father even wanted to abandon his mother for this woman.

"Follow me to keep an eye on this woman and see what she's up to, but I have a condition."

"Name it."

Brian agreed readily.
