Chapter 147: Chapter 141: Twins and the “Thunder Attendant” Consecution (Vote for Monthly Ticket!)

In the basement of the Fischer family manor, Byrne, Irene, Chris, Theo, Vanessa, and Archibald gathered together.

Moore and the other Blood Receivers all had their own matters to attend to, and they were not usually included in the family meetings.

In the familiar corner where Erik’s figure was not seen, Byrne was silent for a long time before he began to speak:

“Let’s review according to the family rules, if you were the Thunderous Monarch, what would be the best course of action?”

Theo shook his head seriously and said:

“Starting war from the beginning was the wrong choice. The White Sea is even larger than Cyart, and the tens of thousands of members of the Sea God Cult are scattered across countless islands, with many sea tribes ready to assist. They can hide in the sea at any time.”

“The cost of this war is too enormous. Even if the entire power of the Tempest Church in the east were invested, they would not be able to completely annihilate the Sea God Cult in a few years.”

Archibald nodded in agreement, exclaiming as if he had an epiphany, “I think Mr. Theo’s point makes sense!”

Byrne remained silent for a long time before stating calmly, “On the contrary, I think this war must be fought.”

“At that time, attacks struck all over Cyart. People’s desire for revenge and their anger were extremely high, so both the Cyart people and the Tempest Church had to strike back.”

“Although we all know that the Sea God Cult will not give up in the future, the ones who have been hurt right now will not invade for a long period.”

“If we had let the Sea God Cult be from the beginning, they would likely continue to invade the coastal areas. Only by making them feel pain and fear can we gain a short peace.”

He paused for a moment before finally saying hoarsely, “Without war, there would be no peace.”

Archibald nodded repeatedly, convinced, and sincerely added, “The head of the family is absolutely right!”

“In fact, there might not be only one way to solve it through war.”

Irene suddenly offered a different opinion.

She calmly stretched out her hand, silently gazing at the sacred object.

“Regardless of whether a war is launched or not, it won’t fully resolve the problem of the Sea God Cult. Perhaps we might find a better path in the future to remove this persistent issue.”

“That would be the third method.”

Byrne and the others looked towards the sacred object following her gaze, each harboring a thought deep within their hearts.

The strong foundation of the Sea God Cult is the Sea God, as well as the steadfast belief in the hearts of every devotee.

It is their unshakeable faith that has supported them over the years as they, the underdogs, challenged the powerful Tempest Church.

“Now I see, I understand what you mean,” Byrne said with a slight nod.

Archibald kept nodding, genuinely feeling that Hospital Director Irene’s words made a lot of sense.

“That’s exactly what I think too!”

After the family meeting concluded and the others had left the basement, Irene and Vanessa remained behind, while Chris waited outside in silence.

Vanessa excitedly undressed, waiting for Irene’s next treatment.

Irene attempted to heal Vanessa’s withered leg, streaked with black spots, shadows of trees appearing in her eyes as she infused powerful energy from the “Spirit-returning Tree” runes.

In the end, the treatment failed.

No matter how much power she channeled, she could not reverse the special nature of Vanessa’s body, only to relieve her pain.

Vanessa was silent for a long while before smiling slightly, “It’s okay. I’ve been used to this for a long time. It’s really not a big deal.”

In the past, they had even attempted amputating the leg to regenerate a limb, but it had no effect either, with the new leg growing back the same. This fail was therefore expected.

Despite this, deep down Vanessa felt a touch of disappointment.

Even though Chris didn’t mind at all, she wanted to offer her best side to him and always tried not to let that leg touch Chris’s near-perfect body.

Irene, with an urgent look and a deep frown, said, “No, that’s not right, strange, it’s not an issue with the soul! I thought it was just some curse, but it seems that the problem within that leg is more complex than I thought!”

Through the runes of the “Spirit-returning Tree,” she could vaguely sense an even more unsettling presence deep within Vanessa’s soul.

What exactly was it?

Irene could not comprehend it, and when she prayed to the Lord of the Lost, the only response she received was that there was no need to worry.

Vanessa calmly stroked her bulging abdomen, a tender smile on her face.

“I’ve gotten used to it. It’s alright, Irene, don’t worry about it,” she said.

At that moment, her only wish was for the children to be born healthy.

More than half a year later, Vanessa finally gave birth to twins.

“Wah!”

Cries of a baby echoed from a room in the manor, and the Fischer family outside were momentarily stunned, then filled with immense joy!

However, upon entering the room, they found Irene silently gazing at them, as if about to speak but then shutting her mouth.

“What’s the matter?”
