Chapter 940 - How Did You Get Those Wounds? (1/2)

Duke Moville had a change of thought.

He gently placed his old and wrinkled hand on the cane beside him before gently grazing his thumb against the carving of the scaled snake.

Wen Xinya subconsciously glanced at the snake. When her eyes met with the pair of gray eyes, she felt as if someone had shot her a cold, menacing, sinister and cold-blooded glance…

She sunk into a negative emotion and she shivered uncontrollably from head to toe.

Is this the legendary menacing eyes?

It was a pair of eyes that could instill fear in one and make them lose the ability to think or act. They had the power to render one powerless.

Holding her hand, Si Yiyan chuckled and said, “Duke Moville, your cane is the symbol of power of the Moville Family. Can you see the menacing eyes? The eyes of this snake are made of unique European gems. Staring at it will make you feel afraid. These gems usually come from dark places and they become gemstones after some processing. This is a craft that only the Moville Family has.”

Si Yiyan must have noticed the difference in her behavior, which was why he brought up the topic about the scaled snakes during a casual conversation.

Wen Xinya glanced at the scaled snake and noticed the gray gemstones. She smiled and said, “It’s indeed very amazing. It’s my first time hearing about such a gemstone. It actually can instill fear in others. It’s no wonder that I find it hard to breathe whenever I stare at it and am full of negative emotions.”

The gemstones had a superstitious name called “Ghostly Fire” mainly because it appeared in dark places like cemeteries. In fact, it only appeared in places with the dead and these gemstones belong to the underground. It was no wonder that it had such a name.

She had no idea what to say about the Moville Family using the gemstones to assert their power and dominance. She felt that they were being too superstitious. Also, she heard that Gods in Western mythology often enjoyed using such methods to show their power.

Indeed, they were superstitious.

Duke Moville’s face stiffened and he said, “Rex, you indeed have a broad knowledge. You even know about these small secret stories about our family in such depth.”

That piece of information is kept hidden from most of the aristocratic families in Russia. How did Rex find out? Could it be that Rex is so powerful that he can delve into the Moville Family’s history?

This thought made Duke Moville feel ill at ease.

Si Yiyan smiled and said calmly, “I was just very interested in gems and crystals. That’s why I researched about them. I’m not that knowledgeable.”

Wen Xinya stared at the eyes of the scaled snake. After finding out the reason and significance of it, she overcame her fear of serpents. Although it had intimidating eyes, it did not frighten her anymore.
