45,Chapter 545


    After Sophie climbed to her feet, she looked down from above at Caleb, who had passed out on the floor. Then, she lifted her foot and mmed it down hard on Calet''s head


    Sophie spat, "Stupid man! Go to hell! Your mother, that old hag, is a slut, and so are you. You think you can divorce me? You re delusional From now on, the Marquis''s estate will be under my control"


    After venting all her rage on Caleb, Sophie paused, and when she stopped, Caleb left bloodied and unrecognizable, his head a mess of wounds.


    Despite this, there was still no sign of him waking up


    It was as though he hadpletely disconnected from the world around him.


    And that was exactly the case, because the parasite Sophie had fed into Caleb was capable of controlling and consuming the host''s consciousness.


    The longer he stayed unconscious, the faster the parasite would consume him.


    Caleb''s body was rtively strong, so ording to Sophie''s original n, the parasite was intended for Adeline.


    If everything had gone ording to n, in a month, the parasite would have consumed Adeline''s consciousness entirely, turning her into a puppet for Sophie. Unfortunately, something had gone wrong, but it wasn''t a big problem.


    Although the host had changed, the parasite could still perform its task, though it might take twice as long


    Sophie usually wouldn''t wait two months, but since she had just been revived, Rodrigo had said her body was in its weakest state and needed time to recover fully.


    Additionally, she needed time to get more familiar with the parasites inside her body before she could truly control them.


    That''s right-Sophie''s body was no longer just a normal human body.


    It was now a vessel filled with parasites.


    But she could still use this vessel, just as easily as she had used her old body. As long as the sorcerer wasn''t too powerful, no one would discover her secret. That''s why Sophie chose to lie low in the Marquis''s estate for now. Once she could fully control the parasites, she would be able to kill anyone she wished, including Eliza.


    Sophie took a deep breath, tilting her head back, her face covered with a few drops of blood.


    Just then, Sophie noticed something. She slowly turned her head toward the doorway and saw a maid standing there, her face filled with shock and fear, staring in disbelief at the scene inside.


    The maid stammered, "Murder... she killed... Sophie killed-"


    The maid turned to flee, but before she could take more than a few steps, countless insects suddenly surged out of the courtyard, instantly covering her, silencing her with only the sound of painful whimpers.


    After a moment, the insects dispersed, leaving only a terrifying white skeleton in the maid''s ce.


    Appearing in the courtyard were several figures cloaked in ck, wearingrge hoods-the Soulbind Tribe.


    "Didn''t I tell you to be careful? What if someone finds out..."


    "What if they find out I''m from the Soulbind Tribe? Then we''re all finished, right? I''ve heard enough of this. I know I need to be cautious, but when people keep pushing me, I can''t just keep swallowing my anger!" Sophie interrupted impatiently.


    "And besides, you know this idiot''s identity. If I can take control of Caleb and the entire Marquis''s estate, wouldn''t it make it easier for the Soulbind Tribe to infiltrate Bortend afterward?"


    Her words were indeed quite urate.


    Rodrigo and the others shared the same thought, which is why they agreed to let Sophie return to the Marquis''s estate. But Sophie''s impatience exceeded what Rodrigo had expected. She had only just been revived, her body still not fully healed, yet she had already taken action against Caleb.


    If this was discovered, neither she nor they would be able to escape. Fortunately, the one who discovered it was just a maid. If they cleaned up the mess, it shouldn''t be an issue.


    With that in mind, Rodrigo didn''t say anything further, only reminding Sophie to stay low-key before leaving.


    Once they left, Sophie rolled her eyes in annoyance, mmed the door shut with a loud bang, and thenpletely ignored Caleb lying on the floor, returning to the bed to continue her recovery.


    545 Chapter 545


    Meanwhile, on the other side of Hasen City


    Isabelle sat in a blood-soaked chamber, in the same meditative position, as Sophie, focusing intently on something


    Around hery dozens of overturned bottles.


    Among them, the Immortality Pills, which the ''guests'' eagerly sought, were scattered in the blood beneath hey


    As Isabelle''s expression grew more pained and pale, the pills seemed to be undergoing some sort of transformation Just as Isabelle suddenly opened her eyes, all the Immortality Pills in the blood cracked open, their outer shells breaking apart, revealing white insects that quickly crawled toward Isabelle, as if they had been bathed in fresh blood. Isabelle''s face twisted in disgust, and she furiously shouted, "Get away. All of you, get away?


    She hated insects, especially those that fed on her blood.


    The blood around Isabelle was all her own.


    And this blood was meant to nourish these insects.


    Or rather, it was meant to feed these parasites.


    Isabelle''s face darkened as she red at the insects that tried to approach her, but were pushed back by her disgust. She couldn''t stop herself from gagging.


    Damn it, she knew Fletcher was up to no good.


    But she never expected that the old man would force her to be one of the Sorceresses.


    They called it the Sorceress, but in reality, it was just a puppet he used to control these insects.


    That''s right-the true master of these insects wasn''t her; it was Fletcher.


    As his biological daughter, Isabelle''s blood, mixed with Fletcher''s Immortality Pills,


    had created parasites that he could control directly.


    Isabelle couldn''t even control these insects, let alone drive them away.


    And because they were fed her blood, the insects considered her their mother


    and always tried to get close to her whenever she fed them.


    But to Isabelle, it was utterly revolting.


    She wished she could kill these insects, and kill that damn Fletcher.


    Just then, the door to the chamber suddenly opened, and an all-too-familiar voice that Isabelle despised came from behind


    her.


    "Oh? This batch of parasites hatched early? Looks like you''ve been feeding them


    well. You''re truly my good daughter." Fletcher walked into the room, ncing


    around at the situation before smiling.
