The Man’s Decree

Upon hearing this, Cloud quickly took out the communication device and then proceeded to relay the instruction to Jared.

Jared was also worried. If he had to travel to Epea, he would be exhausted. But now, hearing about the existence of a Teleportation Array, things would be much more convenient.

After conversing with Jared, Cloud was ready to turn around and leave. After all, this was Winona’s room, and Cloud couldn’t stay for long.

Just as Cloud stepped out the door, he was taken aback.

“Who are you?”

In the open space just outside the room, a person was seen floating, their head full of white hair billowing in the wind.

Upon spotting an unexpected individual, Cloud was instantly ready to take action.

Catina and Feenix quickly rushed out. They looked up into the sky, their alertness instantly heightened when they saw the white-haired old man floating in mid-air.

“Who on earth are you? Why did you barge in here?” Catina sternly questioned.

However, the white-haired old man didn’t utter a single word. He just stared blankly at the house.

“It’s so strange. This is the Zeever residence. Given that the Zeever family is one of the four great families in Yannopolis, how could anyone just barge in without a stir?” Feenix said with a sense of puzzlement.

“I know, right? Why didn’t I see anyone from the Zeever family trying to stop him? That’s really odd…”

Catina also found it extremely peculiar.

At that moment, the white-haired old man slowly descended from mid-air, his eyes continuously peering into the house.

Clang!

Suddenly, Winona closed the door.

This gave Catina and Feenix quite a scare. They were locked out of the door.

“Winonabeth, I know you’ve returned. Please, I beg you to see me. I’ve waited for you for decades, never once leaving Yannopolis.”

The white-haired old man suddenly spoke up.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Catina and Feenix were utterly bewildered.

“Catina, who is Winonabeth?” Feenix asked.

“I don’t know.” Catina shook her head.

“What’s Winona’s real name? It can’t be Winonabeth, can it?” Cloud whispered.

“I don’t know Winona’s real name. I’ve always called her Winona. Is Winona’s real name Winonabeth? It’s such a beautiful name.”

Catina also didn’t know Winona’s name.

At that moment, Winona’s voice rang out. “Hartless Bellamy, get out of here, you heartless and ungrateful wretch…”

Winona’s voice was filled with anger.

Catina and the others exchanged glances, momentarily at a loss for words. So, Winona is really Winonabeth!

And this white-haired old man is Hartless Bellamy. What an unusual name!

“Winonabeth, I’m no longer known as Hartless Bellamy, but Hartwin Bellamy now. My heart only beats for you, and I want to win you over. So, please see me. It was all my fault in the past. All I ask is for your forgiveness. As long as you forgive me, I’m willing to do anything,” he pleaded desperately.

“Get lost, now! I won’t trust you. If you don’t leave, I’ll disappear from Yannopolis immediately and you’ll never be able to find me,” Winona roared.

“All right, all right, I’m leaving. I’m leaving…”

Hartwin gave in, truly fearing that Winona would leave.

Catina and the others looked on in shock. Even though they didn’t know what was happening at the moment, they were certain that Winona had something to do with the old man before them.

“Who are you to Winonabeth?” Hartwin finally turned to Catina and the others.

“We’re from the central region. We had to flee here with Winona due to the relentless pursuit of our sworn enemies. For all these decades, it’s always been Winona who took care of me,” Catina said.

“Oh, I see.” Hartwin nodded, then pulled out a white handkerchief, on which words were written in blood. He handed it to Catina. “Could you please give this to Winonabeth? This handkerchief was a gift from her years ago. I hope she could take a look at it…”

After handing over the handkerchief to Catina, Hartwin leaped and vanished without a trace.
