Chapter 717
Although Lucy could not read the characters in these ancient books, fortunately, there were loads of
pictures on them. She would steal all the books with pictures of the Scepter.
She happened to find one by the Greatest Elder’s bedside, and just then she heard a voice.
“Who’s the thief?” Suddenly, a man said in the dark with a bantering tone.
Lucy was taken aback.
It might be either that she would have been too focused on finding the book or that he was more skilled
than her.
Without further ado, the two immediately got in a fight. Neither of them had weapons. Therefore, they
ruthlessly beat each other with their fists.
Raphael threw her to the ground, grabbed her shoulder, and pressed his left hand against her chest.
Suddenly, Raphael felt something was wrong. He touched something soft.
He was touching her chest.
Lucy was furious. She flipped over and punched him in the eye. With a ck eye, Raphael frowned in
pain and did not think much about it out of anger. He continued to fight with her.
As they kept fighting, the wooden bed around and the books were banging and the cave was in a
mess.
Lucy was stunned when the luminous pearl in her hand fell to the ground and the faint light shone on
the familiar
and handsome face.
Derek Fisher?
Raphael also saw her face clearly. “Mary’s poodle.”
Not knowing her identity as Lucy, Raphael recognized her as Mary’s bodyguard.
During this time, Raphael rolled over and pressed her down again. “Mary asked you to steal the book.
See what you’ve found.” He said in a sarcastic tone and his voice was as cold as ice.
Raphael snatched the ancient book from her waist and was surprised to find out that the book was the
one he was looking for.
Lucy was not a weak woman. She was extremely unhappy to be pressed down by a man like this, and
he tantly snatched her thing.
“It’s minel” Lucy thought she found it first, so it was hers.
The book was so ancient that it was torn in half by the two of them.
Instantly, both of them were stunned.
They red at each other resentfully, and there was another round of punches and kicks. In fact, if it
weren’t for Raphael’s internal injuries, Lucy wouldn’t have been able to fight him for so long.
Outside of the cave, the Elders were approaching, and both of them heard footsteps.
Although Raphael and Lucy were furious, they had a tacit understanding and quickly dispersed.
When the seven Elders slowly returned to their resting ce, they were dumbfounded to see that their
beds were in a mess. In vain, they shouted thief. When the guards came to search, Raphael and Lucy
had already run away.
Lucy was hiding in a dark wood. She hid behind a big tree and picked up half of the ancient book in her
hand again. With the faint moonlight, she carefully flipped through the pictures in the book.
That was right, this book must be about the origin of one-third part of the Scepter, its divine power, and
how to
use it.
“Damn it!” Lucy gritted her teeth.
Thinking of Raphael, she hated his guts. She had already gotten the book, but he tore half of it away.
The most annoying thing was that she couldn’t beat him.
Although she was angry, Lucy remained rational. “Why did he steal the book too?”
What would Raphael do with the book?
“Those old Elders said that Christina identally pressed her blood onto the ruby of the Scepter. So,
the blood contract was set and she became the owner of the Scepter… It was useless for Raphael to
have the book.”
Lucy’s eyes shed. Could it be that his purpose was the same as hers?
She was in a very gloomy mood. Damn it, why didn’t ite to her that Raphael wanted the book to
know how to use the Scepter? He would definitely go to Christina.
Considering his current passive state of being suppressed by the Chief and Mary, he was definitely
willing to let Christina be the spoiler.
Lucy nced at the half book in her hand. She couldn’t understand a word and had no idea of those
pictographic symbols?
The ancient book was stolen tonight, which the Elders would definitely find out after checking the
books. It was urgent to save Christina. She must go to her tonight.
Thinking of this, Lucy put half of the ancient book into her clothes, tidied up her clothes and face, and
kept a straight face. Then she walked out of the wood and returned to Mary openly.
Currently, Lucy was Mary’s considerate bodyguard. So she was free toe and go at will. Moreover,
being favored, Mary bullied others and acted like a snob. As Mary’s bodyguard, she could follow suit.
During the period, she had enjoyed herself as a traitor.
Lucy found a guard who was a coward and pushover and had already prepared an alibi.
“What happened to those Elders?”
Mary returned to her hut andyfortably on the wooden bed. The two maids were massaging her
shoulders. Seeing Lucy, her trusted guard,ing in, she opened their eyes and asked.
Lucy bowed respectfully and whispered, “I heard that someone broke into the cave where the Elders
rested, and the things inside were thrown into a mess.”
Hearing this, Mary immediately became interested. “Really? Did they catch anyone?”
Tonight, she almost cremated Alisa’s body with fire. Unfortunately, she didn’t make it. So she lost her
temper at the maids in the room and had a little break.
Lucy knew Mary very well. To please Mary, she deliberately lowered her voice and said, “Madam, I
found out something.”
Mary immediately asked the two maids in the room to go out. When there were only the two of them left
in the room, Lucy smiled and said, “Madam, it was Raphael who broke into the Elders’ resting ce
tonight. His eyes were swollen from fighting with the guards. Seeing many guardsing, he ran away
in a hurry.”
Lucy nned to let Raphael take the me.
“Raphael? He was beaten?” Mary did show a happy expression.
She was happy to hear that Raphael was unlucky.
“Why did he suddenly break into the Elders’ resting ce?”
“I don’t know why he did so, but the Chief is wise and powerful. He knows Raphael’s weakness. No
matter how hard he tries, he can’t turn things around. It is only a waste of effort.”
Mary also had another hobby, that was, to hear others tter her man.
Lucy’s words were very pleasing to her. “Raphael can’t even beat our guards now. Ha ha ha, if you
have the chance to tie him up in front of me, I will whip him a few times to relieve the hatred in my
heart.”
“Yes.” Lucy nodded heavily, which she did sincerely this time.

“Madam, there’s another thing,” Lucy said in a low voice. While Mary, a brainless woman with big
breasts, was in a euphoric state, Lucy immediately showed her loyalty and said, “Madam, since the
Chief has ordered to get rid of Christina, we can do it ourselves.”
Mary did not expect her to suddenly mention Christina. She was stunned and did not answer for a
moment.
Lucy continued, “Madam, Christina is your daughter. This time, she has angered the Chief. I am afraid
that the Chief will be estranged from you and think that you still have feelings for the people on the
outer ind. Anyway, we have to deal with Christina. If we do it ourselves, the Chief may be ttered.”
Mary thought for a moment and felt that it made sense. The Chief’s attitude tonight indeed showed his
slight dissatisfaction with her.
“Let’s go. I’m going to see Christina who’s always against me!”
Mary immediately stood up. Her resentment and me for Christina almost made her fall out of favor.
As she followed Mary respectfully, the corners of her mouth curved up in a smile.
She instigated Mary to trouble Christina who was in the prison tonight. In this way, she would have the
chance to contact Christina and throw the ancient book to her. Hopefully, she could figure the book out.
