HP: Embrace the Darkness

Haierbo looked at Ass's face. After a moment, he shook his hands and feet and moved to sit next to him. "You were beaten, but why do you still look like you are dying?"

Ace picked up a stone and threw it into the water. The water surface rippled with a splash. He looked at the ripples and whispered to himself, "It won't happen again."

"What did you say?" Haierbo didn't hear clearly and stretched out his ear, "Say it again."

Aces finally turned his attention to Haierbo, his eyebrows raised slightly, a little surprised.

"Helpo? Why are you still here?"

"Why am I still here?" Haierbo laughed angrily. He just wanted to slap himself to death for deciding to stay a few seconds ago. "Okay, I'll leave now."

He patted the grass clippings on his trousers, stood up angrily, kicked the grass angrily, glared at Asseth before turning around and leaving.

Aces held his chin and followed Halbo with his eyes. Finally, he called out to Halbo before Halbo disappeared with a magic spell, "Helbo."

Haierbo turned around and stamped his snake staff impatiently, "What do you want to say again?"

"Get ready, it's almost time." Asseth smiled meaningfully and disappeared first.

Because of the injury on his face, he did not return directly to Cavendish Manor. Instead, he went to a temporary safe house and treated the wound before heading back to the manor.

Walking into the manor, two light bulbs lit up in the green flowers. Asses seemed to be aware of it, but without stopping, he walked straight into the maze.

Bulb, who was peeping in the dark, couldn't help it anymore and threw himself at Asseth with a cry.

Asseth reached out his hand to take it reflexively.

Maybe it was because he broke Ass's arm once before, but the Black Panther became more measured. He didn't jump on Ass's body, but walked slowly over after a few steps.

Aces knelt down and touched the leopard's head.

"Have you been good at home lately?"

The black panther narrowed his eyes in contentment, and rubbed his huge head back and forth on Asseth's hand. After rubbing it, he rubbed it into Ass's arms and twisted around.

Asseth hugged it funny, "Are you obedient or disobedient? Did you get into trouble?"

The black panther raised his head with a guilty conscience, lying in Ass's arms and looking at him, his ears rolled back, and he was moaning without knowing what he was saying.

Asseth couldn't help but move its ears, "It seems it's in trouble. It doesn't matter, I'm here."

The black panther was happy, its big head arched back and forth, and its tail flicked back and forth, like a big cat.

Asseth's irritable heart gradually calmed down under the unique healing ability of Fluffy. He touched the Black Panther's head with a smile in his eyes.

"Thank you."

The black panther seemed to understand but didn't understand, biting Asseth and dragging him towards the garden maze.

For the safety of other people in the manor, the black panther was restricted to a large area near the garden, but it didn't like the garden. Most of the time, it stayed in the maze next to the garden, playing with itself or finding a two-legged beast. Hide and seek is a great time to play.

Aces also knows that it likes mazes, but he doesn't have time to play hide-and-seek with the black panther right now.

"Next time, next time, okay?"

Upon hearing Asseth's rejection, the Black Panther's golden eyes dimmed and he blinked pitifully.

Sorry, I'll do it next time.

Aces made up his mind and retracted his hand, stood up, bypassed the black panther, and went straight upstairs.

In the long corridor of the manor, Susanna wandered at the door anxiously, trying to push the door open several times but then pulling back.

"Cousin, why are you here?"

Susanna braked hard and followed the sound to see Asseth going upstairs.

She rushed towards him as if she saw a savior, "Help, dear nephew! I want to run away from home."

Aces dodged skillfully and raised his hand to touch Susanna's head, which was still trying to come over.

"If you have something to say, don't touch it."

Susanna twisted her body equally skillfully, and after she stood firm, she wanted to continue charging, but was resisted by Asseth. She didn't mind, and just kept crying in this position, "In this family, there is me without William, and without William, there is me."

"Tell me more about it."

Susanna pinched her fingers, "That, that...he didn't let me sleep with Anna and threw me out. How could he do this!?"

sleep together?

Aces looked past Susanna towards the closed door, "Is mother awake?"

"I don't know. That bitch didn't let me in, and he didn't let me talk to Anna." Susanna complained aggrievedly, her eyes full of expectation, expecting Asseth to give her a bad breath.

"I'm going to check on my mother first. She's pregnant and has been riding in the car for so long. I don't know if she'll be better after a good night's sleep."

Aces discussed with Susanna gently.

As soon as Anna was mentioned, Susanna immediately calmed down. Peipiandian followed Artes to the bedroom and watched Artese knock on the door.

"Who?"

A gentle inquiry came from the door.

Aces hadn't seen William and Anna for a while. The meeting just now was really just a one-time meeting, and he didn't have time to sit down and talk. Suddenly, he felt a little regretful and should have gone to take a shower and change clothes first.

When Susanna saw that Artes didn't answer, she put her hands on her hips and was about to answer William. Artes quickly grabbed her and said, "Father, it's me."

The room suddenly fell silent, and two seconds later, Anna's voice came from inside.

"Aces, come in quickly."

Asses pushed the door open and took in everything in the bedroom - Anna half-reclined on the pillow and looked at him tenderly, William stood by the window, one hand on the window sill and the other holding his eyebrows.

Is this...a quarrel?

Asseth was thoughtful, and when his eyes glanced at the pillow on the floor and the cigarette in William's hand, his expression became cold and his voice became a little unhappy.

"Father, it's best for pregnant women not to smell smoke. I thought this was common sense?"

William's hand froze, and before he could say anything, Susanna, who heard what Asses said, rushed up, snatched the cigarette from William's hand and threw it down.

"If Anna is pregnant and you smoke, will the next step be cheating? Okay, I knew you had bad intentions, and you didn't let me come in to visit Anna, saying that Anna needed to rest, but you ended up smoking inside. Ever since you were a child, you have been So hypocritical!”

William sneered and was about to refute Susanna's words when Asseth suddenly interrupted him.

"Cousin, remember to put it out first next time."

He snapped his fingers, and the cigarette butts that fell on the grass floated up, along with the withered grass that was about to burn.

The smell of fire wafted in, and Susanna knew something was wrong. She felt even more guilty when she heard this, and was embarrassed to put away the palm of the culprit.

"Okay, I remember."

Her voice was soft and gentle, completely less aggressive than before. After answering Asseth, she seamlessly transitioned into scolding mode, pointing at William's nose and scolding him.

"Ana, I'm sorry, I forgot, how do you feel now? Do you need ventilation?"

William ignored Susanna who was jumping up and down and scolding him, and apologized neatly to Anna.
