From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Chapter 260: Chapter 250: Return to the Family

The atmosphere in the underground ritual site became somewhat solemn as everyone pondered what that scene meant; Lilian's sudden disappearance left everyone utterly shocked.

"Where on earth did Lilian go?"

Christine, seated in her wheelchair, furrowed her brows with clenched hands.

"There shouldn't be anything wrong, don't worry," Vanessa said softly from the side.

The Fischer family members in the ritual site awaited anxiously, as if the Spiritual Dragon, which seemed a bit larger than upon its birth, was wailing worriedly for its suddenly missing master.

"Wu wu wu wu..."

Continue your adventure at M V L

The Spiritual Dragon looked at the transparent sacred object bottle and continued wailing, as if it were praying as well.

Unlike others, Darren shook his head without a hint of worry and laughed as he said to the anxious crowd:

"Everyone doesn't need to worry about Lilian. Think about it carefully; would the great Lord of the Lost not protect His most devout follower?"

"All our efforts will be acknowledged, she must have been bestowed with more of His attention to disappear so suddenly. When Lilian comes back, she will return bearing the gifts of the Lord."

Everyone felt a bit more at ease indeed, that reasoning held true, the great Lord of the Lost would certainly treasure His most devout followers.

Finally, a thick black fog emerged in front of them.

To their astonishment, part by part, Lilian's body began to materialize in front of them; the pious, even fanatical girl had returned to the familiar surroundings of the ritual site.

Karno couldn't help but ask, "Li... Great Priest? What just happened?"

"I experienced..."

She did not answer but seemed to be suddenly reminded of something, and tears flowed down her face as she knelt down and prayed.

Lilian took a deep breath.

"Great Lord of the Lost!"

"My father and Uncle Chris, please use that tremendous power to bring them back!"

"Even if it's just for a brief reunion, I long to see them, to see my father!"

Since the great Lord of the Lost was gradually regaining strength, it signified that the day He truly revived, bringing dawn to the whole world, was ever nearing.

He could use Divine Power to transport Himself thousands of miles away.

Then, the great Him could surely bring back Father and Uncle Chris!

Lilian was convinced of this in the depths of her heart!

From childhood, Lilian hadn't actually spent much time with her father Byrne; as a little girl, she lived more with Vanessa and Irene.

As she grew up, father and daughter—one with an intense and fanatical character, the other conservative and cautious—often clashed over the direction of the family's growth.

However, that did not mean Lilian did not love her father.

She knew that whether it was her father or her mother, they were the best people in the world for her, willing to sacrifice their lives for her!

Due to their frequent interactions, Lilian's yearning for her father wasn't as intense as it could have been, but in recent years since her father disappeared, she had increasingly missed his strong presence.

Great Lord of the Lost!

Please listen to my prayers!

Please bring them back!

"I beseech You..."

Darren and the others exchanged looks; they didn't know what Lilian had gone through, only that she wasn't praying in vain, that her prayers must signify something.

The flame of the candles flickered in the basement as the Fischer family members all began to pray, hoping that longing and faith could produce a great miracle, bringing Byrne and Chris back.

Karl gazed silently at the Fischer family.

Yes, he could indeed make it happen.

——

White Bones Canyon.

Byrne and the others gathered together in silence, their gaze fixed on Zayne Frosac, who was still making a breakthrough in his consciousness.

They had been waiting here for a long time, pondering daily whether Zayne would succeed in his breakthrough.

The conclusion they reached was not optimistic.

Because Zayne had made no preparations in advance, he didn't even know he would experience a breakthrough here, so the likelihood of success was at most thirty percent.

At first, that's what everyone thought, but gradually Zayne's body started to tremble, and his flesh became unstable.

Aldrich shook his head and reassessed, estimating his chances of success to be only twenty percent.

"Twenty percent chance, that's far too little."

Aldrich spoke very calmly, "It's a pity, the tower about to be built might collapse at any moment, truly a shame."

"Twenty percent?"

A four out of five chance of failure was indeed significant, Byrne pondered silently, looking towards the man he had known for over a decade, and an idea began to form in the depths of his heart.

Putting that idea into action would undoubtedly be the right and beneficial thing for both Zayne and the Fischer family.

The only one to be sacrificed was himself.

"..."

He was slightly stunned, could this be destiny? Zayne happened to be by his side, trapped in a predicament of breakthrough, with the strings of fate guiding the development of everything.

[Go to a place where no one is.]

It was at this moment that Chris suddenly lifted his head, and Byrne could also feel it clearly.

That voice, devoid of sadness and joy, inexplicably grand!

How could one possibly forget!

But Aldrich and the others had no clue at all; both he and Marzo didn't hear anything. Hence, Chris and Byrne exchanged glances.

Byrne looked at Aldrich and said respectfully,

"I'm sorry, we have something to attend to and need to leave for a bit."

They had lived and been together day and night for years, and had already developed quite a bond.

Moreover, Byrne had found that Aldrich was a very reasonable person.

Aldrich glanced at the two brothers and slowly nodded, saying, "Just be safe."

He felt that everyone could have secrets and didn't intend to interfere much with Byrne and Chris.

Immediately after, Byrne and Chris hurried to a distant part of the canyon, making sure even the "Dragon Taming Lord" Aldrich couldn't sense their situation, and then they finally stopped.

Byrne couldn't help but ask, "Chris, was that voice truly the great Lord of the Lost?"

"Yes."

Chris nodded quickly, not denying it.

What would happen next?

They looked at each other, each feeling a surge of emotion deep inside.

Finally, there was a turn of events!

No matter what was to happen next, Byrne felt it would be better than the monotonous days and nights in the canyon. Of course, it would be best if they could leave directly and return to the Fischer family.

In the next moment, the increasingly thick black mist emerged abruptly all around them.

They were immediately rooted to the spot, unable to move at all, clearly feeling the presence that made all things lose their color, and an immense fear involuntarily surged from deep within their hearts.

Byrne took a deep breath, still instinctively feeling fear, but also a great joy in his heart!

The great Lord of the Lost!

He must have come to rescue us from here!

In the next moment, their bodies slowly dissipated within the black mist.

When they came to their senses, Byrne and Chris had already appeared in the underground sacrificial chamber of Fischer Manor, surrounded by the family members they had longed to see.

"Chris!"

"Father!"

Vanessa and Chris hugged each other, closing their eyes, pressing tightly together.

When they opened their eyes again, their eyes were full of longing and affection for each other. Vanessa revealed a radiant smile with a hint of solace in the embrace, and their eyes conveyed deep emotions, as if time had paused at that moment.

Eventually, Chris took the initiative to kiss Vanessa.

Meanwhile, Karno, Christine, and others watching this scene all had smiles on their faces, feeling true joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Lilian also hugged her father Byrne without hesitation, tears streaming down her face.

"Father, you have finally come back!"

Darren watched his father with calmness, and a joyful smile soon appeared on his face.

That's wonderful.

Father had finally returned!

He breathed a sigh of relief. The Fischer family had been too weak over the past few years, and to say they were tattered would be quite accurate.

But the return of father and Chris would completely change everything.

A radiant smile appeared on Byrne's face, his eyes filled with infinite tenderness and care, he caressed his daughter's hair and hugged her tightly.

All of a sudden, Lily realized their time was limited, so she didn't hesitate to release her father and quickly wiped off her tears, saying,

"I'm sorry, there are things I must clarify right away. That black mist won't last for long; you will go back, back to where you were."

It won't last for long? We will go back to where we were?

Byrne was stunned for a second, then he thought of Zayne Frosac and suddenly felt it wouldn't be so bad to go back to the canyon.

Up to now, their bonds had grown much stronger.

Because they couldn't just leave them there.

Chris and Vanessa continued to embrace, while their children could hardly bear to watch any longer.

It was then that Darren suddenly asked, "Father, where have you been all these years, and what has happened?"

Byrne's gaze swept over everyone present, he nodded slowly, and said very seriously,

"Yes, I will quickly make the situation clear to you, and I also hope that everyone will help us think about how to leave that canyon."
