Mia and Mariel were so dazed that couldn't speak. They just stared at Kai with wide eyes as his smile widened a little.

"Take your time to digest it and since you are invisible, you have a huge amount of time." Kai said as Tianjin exited his room.

He started venturing towards the throne room as Kai quietly followed him. Mia and Mariel sat there, their eyes completely dazed.

They then looked at each other and both of them saw their expression reflected on the other's face.

They decided to leave Kai alone and decided to search the entire palace. Because of them being invisible, they weren't worried about anyone seeing or capturing them.

They first decided to check the lower floors of the palace as standard palaces usually have dungeons on the bottom floor.

The first underground floor was the treasury. It looked as though the treasury had been rebuilt underground after those thieves and broken into the previous treasury.

But below the treasury, the dungeons started. The first floor of the dungeons was full of living people who looked as though they had only been here for a month or two.

The second floor contained people who looked as though they had been in there for many years.

As for the third and last floor, only skeletons were present there. No human was present here, only undead corpses and skeletons.

It looked as though the third floor had contained the continent's most wanted criminals and personal enemies of the royal family.

"*Sigh* I wish it would have been this easy. I think Kai already knew that Risea wouldn't be here. He just wanted to distract us from feeling boredom." Mia sighed as Mariel agreed with her.

"Let's just go back and meet him in the throne room." Mariel said as they walked away.

But they didn't know how close they were to finding Risea. Past the skeleton on the last corner of the 3rd floor was a hidden trapdoor.

Beyond that trapdoor, tied to a chair was a young girl who looked like a Loli. Her face and body contained many bruises and it looked as though she was unconscious.

"I think that man named Kai is here for you. Let's see how he gets you out of here." An 18-year-old boy moved from the shadows, his face bearing a mad grin.

In the light, Sungjin stared at Risea with a mad look in his eyes as he left the room and closed the trapdoor.

In the throne room, Kai saw a repeat telecast of the previous day.

But he didn't have any other choice except to stand there. So after the session ended, he just quietly followed Tianjin to dinner and ended back up in front of his door.

"Any luck finding Risea?" Kai asked Mia and Mariel as he saw them coming towards him.

"A good trick to distract us." Mariel commented as Kai chuckled a little.

"Don't worry, only two more days." Kai said as two days passed in a flash.

They followed the same routine, getting onto the throne room in the morning, coming into the dining hall during the night and eating dinner, and then standing outside Tianjin's room.

But after two days, the time finally came. Tianjin was finally going to tell the ministers about Risea.

"Today, you will stand outside this room." Tianjin told Kai as he walked towards the throne room.

? Kai, Mia, and Mariel were left standing outside Tianjin's room. But that was not a problem as Kai just created a formation to make himself invisible.

The trio then followed Tianjin. They entered the throne room and stood in a corner as Tianjin took his seat. All around the throne room, the ministers were nervous about the information they will hear today.

But before any of them could speak anything, Sungjin entered the throne room and directly went to stand beside his father.

"The new pills that all of you received were made by a certain person and I am sure that all of must have figured that out. I am also sure that you have bribed many information brokers and even my family members but even after all that, you didn't find any information about the creator of the pill." Tianjin said as he glanced at the minsiters faces.

No one spoke anything as this would make it clear that they had done everything Tianjin had said. But they didn't deny it too.

"But that doesn't matter, today you will meet the creator of the pill. Sungjin, go and fetch her." Tianjin said to his son and Sungjin exited the throne room.

"Should we follow him?" Mia whispered as Kai shook his head.

They could easily kidnap Risea and fled from the continent but Kai was not going to do that. He destroy the royal family before going back to the western continent so he stood there as Sungjin entered the room with a person in his tow.

The person's face was covered with a mask and he or she was wearing a white hospital gown that reached down to their ankles.

"That's not Risea." Kai whispered back as he saw that the figure walking behind Sungjin was a man.

"He is trying to trick the ministers." Mariel replied as Tianjin glanced around the room.

He then grinned as Sungjin suddenly took out a sword and beheaded the man walking behind him.

The ministers gasped at Sungjin's actions and stared at Tianjin who had a creepy smile on his face.

"Kai, I know you are here and that you are using an invisibility pill. I also know that you are after Risea, our pill creator since you didn't launch yourself at that man to take him away. But your cover is now blown so you might as well surrender yourself." Tianjin said as the ministers were shocked to hear his words.

"He is not good at bluffing. He is just assuming that I am a spy here to take Risea away from them." Kai whispered as Tianjin sighed in disappointment.

"Bring her in." Tianjin said as Sungjin went outside and this time, he came back with Risea.

She was in her Loli form but except for her pink hair and blue eyes, nothing about her indicated that she was the same Risea Kai remembered.

She was wearing a white hospital gown just like the man who was beheaded. But her arms were full of cuts and bruises.

Her face was full of so many scars that one could hardly see her face. She walked in a dizzy sort of way and Sungjin had to go behind her to make sure that she didn't fall.

"She is intoxicated with drugs." Mia whispered as she and Mariel stared at Kai's face.

His face was completely emotionless, not even a shred of rage and fury could be seen on it. It was as though his emotions were completely under his control.

"Risea's body protects her from poison and drugs and only the everlasting apple from the fairy king's forest could intoxicate her. This should not be possible." He slowly said as Mia and Mariel grabbed his hands and tightly squeezed them.

It was because of Risea's reincarnation that her immunity against poison and drugs was gone. Her veins contained normal mortal blood.

"Meet Risea, our little pink-haired alchemy expert and the creator of those pills." Tianjin announced as the ministers stared at Risea with different expressions.

Some were interested in her while some doubting their ears about what they heard. Them, there were a few ministers who were glancing at her curves with wide eyes.

The minimum age for a girl to cultivate was 16 and no one could break that rule. But Risea was 18 and only her body looked younger so some of the ministers were wondering if they could taste her.

"I will show you a little display of her obedience. Son." Tianjin gestured at Sungjin.

Sungjin smiled as he lifted Risea's chin with his hands.

"Touch my dick." He said as his smile grew wider.

Risea resisted his grip on her chin and tried to free herself but he just tightened his grip. His other hand slowly touched her waist as she continued resisting.

He then hit her face with his other hand and blood started to flow from her wounds. Tears rolled down her eyes and but she still didn't touch his dick.

Mia and Mariel clenched their fists as they stared at Kai's face. He was completely still, eyes unblinking and wide open. It was almost similar to a dead person's body.

Sungjin raised his hand to Risea again and the ministers shifted to the edges of their seats wondering whether Risea would do it or not.

But before anything could happen. Every single minister turned to dust as a dark aura was released.

Kai walked towards Risea, his eyes changing. The white in his eyes completely vanished as his eyes turned completely purple. A purple mist slowly surrounded his body as his skin started to darken. It was as though any traces of his humanity were being pulled out from his body.

"Demon eyes and demon aura." Mia whispered as the entire palace plunged into darkness.
