Chapter 241: A So-called Victory

Heloise had assumed that Felix was trying to save Lord Earthly Ghost through dialogue. However, as their conversation progressed, things began to diverge entirely from her expectations.

— (So Lord Earthly Ghost and Felix knew of each other's existence from the start.)

— (So they are enemies.)

— (Why did Lord Earthly Ghost deceive me?)

— (Why did Felix also deceive me?)

— (Who should I... believe?)

Heloise could only stand rigidly on the spot, continuing to listen to this conversation that seemed to be heading in an unknown direction.

"Indeed, I may be unable to harm your true body, but what of it? Earthly Ghost, you have already lost, it's high time you scurry home and weep at your mother's feet." 

Earthly Ghost was somewhat taken aback, having not anticipated such a composed retort from Banning, one that held a certain lethal undertone.
