last update Huling Na-update: 2025-05-24 09:11:24

Several nights ago, under an ink-dark sky, the wind howled softly through tents and stone walls, like a ghost’s sigh. Eryx stood by the narrow window of his study, gazing at the faint glow of the distant army campfires. After a long silence, he turned and looked toward the shadows—where a man stepped forward.

The man wore a dark gray cloak with the hood drawn low, revealing only the sharp line of his jaw and a faint, cold smile at the corner of his lips. It was the mysterious figure from before.

“You finally came,” Eryx said, his voice low and edged with caution. “I’ve set everything up as we discussed. I’ve made Livia and Marcellus believe we’ve taken the bait. We’re pretending our attention is still on their region. By now, they should have noticed the changes in troop deployment around our expansion zone.”

The man gave a slight nod, his tone indifferent. “Good. You’ve played your part well—like someone who’s truly fallen for their trap. But your opponents are no fools. They won’t j

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 245: Regrouping After Success

    Livia’s hand was still trembling slightly, but she didn’t stop to rest. She immediately picked up the communicator and dialed a number.“We did it.”Just three words — and on the other end, an eruption of cheers and elation.Within minutes, everything went into motion with rapid coordination.The Grail’s base was personally escorted into the vault by Adrian and Elise, where the fragments they had recovered earlier were already being stored. The chamber was dimly lit, filled with an oppressive, mysterious aura — as if every stone in the walls was silently watching.Adrian gently placed the base next to the fragments.The moment he let go, a faint humming seemed to ripple through the air.A soft glow began to shine from the runes carved beneath the base, and the fragments responded with a light vibration. Then — to everyone’s astonishment — the shards began to levitate, slowly drifting toward the base like metal to a magnet, slotting themselves into its gaps with uncanny precision.Clic

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 244: A New Dream

    Chapter 244: A New DreamThe atmosphere in the room eased slightly. That quip about “the importance of a good wife” had brought a rare moment of warmth and closeness between them.Adrian muttered under his breath, “Come on, sis, don’t tease me…”Beside him, Elise’s cheeks flushed pink. She tugged gently at Livia’s sleeve and murmured, half protesting, half embarrassed, “We’re… not married yet…”Livia couldn’t help but laugh aloud. Only in front of these trusted loved ones could she afford to shed that heavy mask, if only for a little while.“By the way, there’s one more thing,” Adrian said suddenly, as if remembering something. He turned and rummaged through his bag, then carefully pulled out an old leather-bound journal. The pages were yellowed, the cover stained by water—clearly aged and weathered.He handed it over carefully.“We found this near the well.”Livia flipped through it but didn’t start reading.“No rush. This isn’t something we should go through casually,” she said calm

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 243: Unraveling the Knot

    Night had fallen thick over the forest, the air humming faintly with insectsong.Livia stood at the edge of the hunter’s lodge for some time, eyes locked on the direction Jim had vanished. She didn’t move. She didn’t call anyone. Her heart was a tidal surge of thoughts, but her expression remained unreadable.Only after she was certain Jim was far—truly gone, with not even a possibility of surveillance—did she finally lift her hand.“Back to the castle.”Red frowned. He clearly didn’t like it, but still led the others away in silence. He knew Livia wasn’t the kind of heiress who needed protection anymore.Once back at the castle, Livia remained on edge. She climbed the tower and opened the mirror array hidden in the inner chamber, scanning for any suspicious eyes before she finally exhaled deeply. Then she unlocked her communicator and sent a coded message—short and sharp, intelligible only to her and Adrian.Not long after, a faint knock came from the hidden corridor.“It’s me,” Adri

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 242: Jim’s Departure

    Jim stood in the depths of the night, brows slightly furrowed, eyes sharp—his mind seeming to hold an entire map of troop formations. He continued to speak, steadily and without pause.His pace gradually quickened, yet not a single detail was muddled. Complex routes, time checkpoints, overlapping patrol cycles—he recited them all with the clarity of running water, missing not a single nuance.“…As for the latest changes, starting tomorrow, there will be a minor rotation at the northwest sector. One hour before the shift, a temporary gap in security will occur. Three days later, the northern troops will reposition. The transfer path follows a Z-shaped detour through the eastern trail—except, the breach near the southeastern cliff face will be left unguarded.”Livia continued writing rapidly, quietly astonished.—This man’s memory… it was even more terrifying than the rumors said.He wasn’t merely a king of the underworld—he was a hunter, a walking map.Though she kept her expression ca

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 241: Buying Time

    Just as Jim was about to turn and leave, a wave of urgency surged in Livia’s chest.She didn’t know if things were going smoothly on Adrian’s side—whether the Holy Grail’s base had been secured, or if they’d managed to leave safely. She couldn’t hear anything from the distant abandoned well. All she could rely on now was time. And at this moment, she needed more of it.But she also knew—she couldn’t show even a trace of unease.So she steadied herself, putting on a calm, even slightly detached tone, and said:“Lord Jim, King of the Underworld, before you leave, I have one final request.”Jim turned back, raising an eyebrow.“Oh? Still playing games?”Livia gave a faint smile, her gaze sharp as a blade.“Since you claim to know Eryx’s deployments and movements, I want to test whether your memory truly lives up to your title.”She spoke slowly and deliberately:“You want that document—I’ll consider it. But only if you can recite the troop formations and movement plans of Eryx’s legions

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 240: Be My Disciple

    The two stood facing each other in the night outside the hunting lodge, the air between them seemingly frozen. The silence stretched too long, and even the wind rustling through the shrubs seemed to carry a trace of tension. Livia knew—the true focus of today’s plan was never about the map. It was about testing, bartering, and more importantly, buying time—diverting the attention of Jim and the remnants of Eryx’s forces.But if she could extract even a sliver of intel from Jim—no matter how tainted with lies—it would be an invaluable breakthrough.She drew a quiet breath and spoke gently:“Very well. You want the original—I don’t have it. I only have a copy. I’m sure you won’t mind.”“Ha—” Jim let out a hoarse laugh, amused and seemingly satisfied.“A copy is fine. As long as you’re not trying to walk away with everything for nothing, I’ve no complaints.”He paused, and then, in a tone that was either casual banter or genuine goodwill, added:“You know… if you manage to crawl out of t
