Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 48 Sylvester Avenges Lela, the Royal Family's Demise.

Mimicking Finley's voice, "Fox spirit, shameless slut, no manners." Then pointing at herself, "She curse me, parents, I curse her, shameless, hit, dunk, in water."

The more Lela spoke, the darker and more menacing Sylvester's gaze became. How dare Finley! Lela wasn't exaggerating; as a Mutant, she simply conveyed the entire process using simple words. Having said that, Lela collapsed onto Sylvester's chest, feeling utterly drained.

Sylvester held her in his arms, a doting tone filled with comforting tenderness and guilt. "Darling, no one will dare to curse you anymore, no one will say you lack manners. Remember, you have me; you belong to the Sylvesters." Lela felt warmth in her heart upon hearing his words as she pressed against his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat. Sylvester, I didn't intentionally deceive you about my inability to speak; I have my own reasons for it. I love you. I... need you. If one day, you were to discover my true origin, like a monster trapped in a dark swamp, would you still want me?

Sylvester gently stroked Lela's back with his hand, expressing both anguish and tenderness at the malicious words. After having heard the insults that were directed at Lela, it felt like a knife stabbed at his heart, the pain was clear within him, as if he was the person insulted.

The Royal family, very well... he had wanted to make a move against them for a long time. Now he had reason to just that.

Lela gradually fell asleep in Sylvester's embrace, her fair and clean face with prominent features, peaceful in her slumber. Sylvester kissed her smooth forehead and held her even tighter.

Overnight, a sensational event occurred in the central city.

No one knew why the Royal family, who had the support of the Sylvesters, collapsed overnight.

It started with the revelation of the Royal family's internal company evading taxes, followed by the news of the eldest son misusing company funds in underground gambling dens.

The family faced financial difficulties as Silver Enterprise delayed and owed payments. Additionally, the daughter of the Royal family had been engaging in campus violence against disadvantaged students since primary school...

The Royal family was facing its biggest crisis since its inception.

There were speculations that the Sylvesters wouldn't turn a blind eye, but in the end, they did not lend a helping hand and ignored the Royal family's plight.

The Royal family's patriarch was not in good health, his high blood pressure soared, and he suffered a fatal stroke due to the incident.

Depp, Finley's father, also aged dozens of years overnight upon hearing the internal affairs of the company being leaked.

The incident unfolded too quickly, and the Royal family's public relations team was useless against the torrents of online criticism.

Finley could not find the courage to admit the fault was her own doing and could only shed tears daily while living in a rundown slum. Thus, the Royal family of Central city ceased to exist.

On the internet, everyone was cursing and speculating.

"The Royal family evaded taxes like dogs, they deserve punishment."

"The Royal family really had bad luck. They had a winning card in their hands and could have flourished with the support of the Sylvesters, but who would have thought this would happen." "Don't the Sylvesters provide protection?"

"Do you think the Sylvesters are as foolish as you? When crossing the country's line, no amount of protection is useful."

"Master Sylvester knows the rules and is not getting involved in this matter."

"But who would openly attack the Royal family in the face of Central city's leading family? It's the end for the Royal family for sure this time."

"I feel like it's not that simple. The Royal family has been arrogant, thinking they could rely on the Sylvesters. What if the Sylvesters grew tired of their ways and took matters into their own hands?" "It's possible."

No one from the outside world would know that the true reason was simply the Royal family's daughter's interest in the young man, Master Sylvester.

The disrespectful words spoken by Finley led to the downfall of the entire family.

Burl would always visit Trenton at the Ironfist Holding Center. When he saw the news of the Royal family's bankruptcy, he chuckled, "The Royal family has become more arrogant over the years, relying on the Sylvesters. They've become increasingly corrupt, evading taxes for billions. Quite greedy."

Trenton, dressed in camouflage and wearing protective goggles, was busy assembling firearms. "I never expected the Royal family to engage in such shady deals behind the scenes. Well, serves them right."

...

With the Royal family's bankruptcy and the imminent auctioning of numerous properties owned by the company, Rino Technique stepped forward and officially acquired the Royal family. The Sylvesters suffered no losses whatsoever.

Well, now that Lela is able to speak like a normal person, word for word, her relationship with Sylvester is improving at a phenomenal pace in the communication department. There is excitement in the air as all of the household feel numerous changes coming on in the not-too-distant future.

Little does everyone realize that Sylvester is planning on relocating to the great city of Greafury.

Although Lela is a powerful mutant and can see things clearly, she has also experienced extremely dark times. She hasn't even thought about what her exact strengths are as yet.

Lela also doesn't realize that her life is about to change when she is in Greafury. All she longs for is sunshine, and maybe due to her past experiences and her nature, she treats others with sincerity and is liked by many. Don't be fooled by this cute, cool and beautiful young lady, this little sweetheart was born to thrive in the sunlight, but if you provoke her, she won't hesitate to strike back.
