My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Chapter 149: Liliana's Fear and the Messages

While Leon conversed privately with Miranda, his uncontrollable holy power wreaked havoc outside, relentlessly churning and destroying everything around him. The ground, grass, and even the space within a 10-kilometer radius were warped and distorted.

This scene no longer resembled ordinary chaos; it looked more like a catastrophic disaster intent on destroying the world!

Meanwhile, fifteen kilometers away from the center of Leon's holy power chaos, Liliana sat cross-legged with her eyes closed in a meditative position.

Behind her, the Magic Staff of Eternal Disaster, black with a blood-red pattern on the shaft, floated, continuously emitting a black aura that surrounded Liliana.

"Hufft..." Liliana exhaled slowly, opening her eyelids to reveal blood-red eyes that looked indifferent and cold.

After a moment, her gaze shifted towards the chaotic surge of Leon's uncontrollable holy power, her expression becoming a mix of worry, confusion, and frustration.

Thirty minutes had passed, yet Leon's holy power showed no signs of calming down or stopping its rampage.

This left her bewildered, feeling helpless for the first time in her life.

"Leon, you need to wake up immediately," Liliana whispered, biting her lower lip.

After careful analysis, she realized that only Leon himself could stop the uncontrollable rampage of his holy power; otherwise, this chaos would continue unabated.

"Huh..." Liliana sighed softly, her expression grim and crumpled.

Just as she was about to close her eyes once more, a voice suddenly echoed from behind her.

"It seems your love for Leon is truly undying, huh?"

Upon hearing the voice, Liliana's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly opened her eyes wide in shock.

*Whoosh!*

In an instant, Liliana disappeared from her spot and reappeared two hundred meters away, a horrified expression on her beautiful face.

She raised her head and looked towards the source of the voice, seeing a middle-aged man standing where she had been, smiling at her.

Seeing this, Liliana's expression instantly turned cold, her vigilance at its peak.

"Who are you?" Liliana inquired coldly, her voice tinged with nonchalance as she scrutinized the middle-aged man from head to toe.

The man had a handsome face and short white hair, which bore a striking resemblance to her own.

What stood out most about his appearance was the white cloth blindfold covering both eyes, giving the impression that he was blind.

After completing her observation, Liliana squinted and cautiously stepped back.

The fact that she hadn't sensed this middle-aged man's presence when he appeared behind her was deeply unsettling.

Liliana firmly believed that no living being could escape her perception—not even Leon at his peak or the Dragon Empress Athena Hellness, the strongest individuals she knew.

So, how had this middle-aged man appeared without her noticing?

Upon hearing Liliana's question, the middle-aged man merely smiled. His expression fluctuated slightly as he scrutinized Liliana's face, but he quickly concealed it.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of hurting you," he said calmly, a gentle smile on his lips.

Liliana, naturally distrustful, quickly grasped the Magic Staff of Eternal Disaster, pointing it at the man.

"I won't repeat my question," Liliana said coldly. "Who are you, and what are you here for? If you don't answer, don't blame me if I attack you!"

Faced with Liliana's cold demeanor and threats, the middle-aged man sighed lightly and chuckled, showing no anger.

"As I said earlier, I really have no malice towards you, and I came here to—" The middle-aged man began to explain, raising his index finger toward Leon's holy power rampage, but Liliana abruptly cut him off.

"I won't let you near Leon!" she shouted, abruptly casting high-level magic.

"High-level magic: Hellfire!" Liliana exclaimed loudly and coldly.

*Whoosh!*

Suddenly, a large red magic circle appeared in the sky above the middle-aged man's head, and from it emerged extremely hot and terrifying black flames.

*Buzz!*

The emergence of the black flame caused the surrounding space to seethe with intense heat, engulfing both the middle-aged man and his surroundings in flames.

Observing the scene, Liliana was convinced that the middle-aged man had perished in the flames.

However, just as she believed her magic had succeeded in killing him, a chuckle echoed from within the flames.

"Tsk! Liliana Crimson, you truly can't contain your anger when it comes to Leon, huh?"

Upon hearing this, Liliana's expression froze in disbelief. Her gaze darted towards the scorching black flames, only to find the middle-aged man completely unharmed, walking with a faint smile on his lips.

Witnessing this scene, her eyes widened in astonishment as she exclaimed, "Impossible... How could you remain uninjured?"

She couldn't comprehend how her devastating magic hadn't harmed him at all; even his white robes remained spotlessly clean, leaving Liliana unable to believe her eyes.

Unfortunately, she had no time to dwell on these thoughts. Quickly, Liliana once again raised the Magic Staff of Eternal Disaster in her hand, preparing to unleash another, even more powerful, and devastating spell.

"High-level Magic: Catastrop—"

However, before Liliana could finish casting magic, her eyes widened in sudden alarm as she felt her mouth become completely immobilized.

'What's happening?' Liliana exclaimed inwardly, horror and fear enveloping her body.

She couldn't move her mouth at all, as if something was holding it back, and her voice was trapped in her throat.

Moreover, she came to the chilling realization that it wasn't just her mouth; her entire body had been rendered motionless and immobilized, except for her eyelids, which still retained the ability to blink.

As Liliana spiraled into panic and confusion over her situation, the middle-aged man's voice sliced through the air.

"Well, if you won't heed my warnings, forgive me for resorting to these measures," he declared, teleporting ten meters away with a faint smile playing on his lips.

The words sent Liliana's heart into a frenzy, disbelief swirling in her blood-red pupils.

'Who is he? How is he capable of this?' With astonishment gripping her, Liliana's inner voice now echoed with a new sensation—fear.

Yes, this was the first time she had felt a sense of fear that rendered her completely helpless.

Ever since she ascended the throne to become the Demon Emperor, there was no one who could evoke this kind of feeling in her.

However, the white-haired, middle-aged man before her was the first!

Meanwhile, the white-haired middle-aged man, observing the various emotions in Liliana's blood-red eyes, only chuckled slightly.

"Don't worry. I really have no intention of hurting you," he said helplessly, shaking his head. "I came here to talk to you privately about something."

"So, can you not attack me anymore and listen to my little request? If you agree, just blink your eyes, and I'll release your restraints." The middle-aged man's tone softened, devoid of any pressure or intimidation toward Liliana for attacking him.

Listening to his words, Liliana hesitated, her emotions churning violently within.

She found it difficult to trust this middle-aged man, uncertain of his origin, and remained alert to his abnormal powers. Meanwhile, disagreeing posed an unknown risk, not just to herself but also to Leon, who lay unconscious.

Even though she hadn't unleashed her full power against the middle-aged man, she couldn't afford to gamble, particularly when it came to Leon, the person she cherished above all else.

After some pondering and consideration, Liliana finally decided to acquiesce.

In addition, she harbored curiosity about his intentions and what he wished to convey to her.

Swiftly, Liliana snapped out of her reverie and offered a wink to the white-haired middle-aged man.

"Good!" The middle-aged man chuckled and snapped his fingers.

*Snap!*

After hearing the sound of a finger flick, Liliana suddenly felt her mouth and limbs return to normal mobility.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the shock within her, and regarded him with a cold, wary gaze.

"So, what did you want to say?" Liliana inquired, her voice retaining its icy edge.

The middle-aged man disregarded Liliana's cold demeanor and maintained a faint smile on his lips.

"The reason I came is because I want you to deliver my message to Leon," he admitted.

"Do you have anything to do with Leon?" Liliana asked, her voice still cold and wary.

The middle-aged man shook his head and replied lightly, "I don't have any relationship with Leon, but I do have a fated bond with him."

Liliana didn't fully grasp the meaning of his words, and just as she was about to inquire further, the middle-aged man interrupted her.

"Please convey my message to Leon: never hesitate in making decisions in the future. Embrace decisiveness, for hesitance breeds regrets that linger unforgiven," he explained succinctly.

Liliana's expression slightly furrowed, but before she could inquire further, the middle-aged man interrupted once more, raising his hand as he asked, "Can you convey this to Leon?"

Liliana remained silent for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I'll pass it on to Leon."

The middle-aged man nodded with a faint sigh.

"Thank you, Liliana Crimson. You are indeed a woman to be trusted," he said gently, his words laden with hidden meaning.

Without waiting for Liliana's response, he turned around and walked away.

However, after only taking two steps, he halted and glanced back at Liliana once more.

"I also have a message for you, Liliana Crimson. Take good care of your three daughters, especially the little girl named Fiona."

"Her future will be full of struggles, and as a mother, it is your duty to guide her."

With those words spoken, the middle-aged man vanished with a gust of wind, leaving Liliana stunned in place with a blank expression as she stared in the direction of his disappearance.

"How did he know about my three daughters, especially Fiona?"
