To say something a bit twisted, in Qin Chu's eyes, the expression of pain and despair on Rose Vesper's face, combined with her hollow and dazed, nearly numb eyes, was truly beautiful.

Even just admiring that seemingly lifeless face now brought Qin Chu immense pleasure.

In Rose Vesper's heart, all her hopes had been destroyed.

With no hope left, even revenge was something utterly impossible... As long as that mysterious woman in a black dress remained by Qin Chu's side... Of course, Rose Vesper didn't know that Qin Chu's strength was now no less than that of Little Saye. Even if she could muster the strength she had when she faced off against Augustus, she still had no chance of turning the tide.

Her numb and vacant eyes fell upon Qin Chu. She only wanted to unravel some confusions in her heart, her lips trembling softly: "When did you find out that we wanted to kill you..."

"A long time ago..." Qin Chu nodded honestly.

"Catherine, Asina, Silf, who among them told you?" A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Rose Vesper's mouth.

"None of them." Qin Chu slightly shook his head: "I knew everything sooner than you imagined, before I even arrived in this world... No, it was before I came to this world that I already knew your plan."

Ha ha, are you kidding me?

Do you have the power of foresight?

How could it be possible to know someone's plan before even arriving?

"When did Catherine become yours?" Rose Vesper sighed deeply, all her hope gone, already knowing her own fate.

Qin Chu was not the kind to pity fragrant beauties.

"Actually, on the night when... oh no, it was Catherine who first took me into her room, she began step by step to become mine."

"She completely became mine about a few days later, before Asina arrived at the Imperial City, before we went to rescue Benson." Qin Chu responded honestly: "Oh yes, I was the one who killed Benson."

Upon these words, Rose Vesper showed no surprise, as if she had already expected it. * is the home of this chapter

But Atreus was startled, Benson? Wasn't he killed by her brother Luo Meng? How could it be that the master killed him?

Could it be that there's always been some connection between Luo Meng and the master?

"When did Silf become yours?"

"Remember Aili and Aileen? It was on the day they abandoned Silf..."

"And Asina?"

"The chemistry with Asina was good, it was only a budding thing before, but the actual time was when Muse died..."

Rose Vesper gave a self-deprecating smile, recalling everything that had happened.

Because of Silf's existence as a witness, she began to suspect Aili and Aileen.

When Asina returned from Snow Mountain and informed her that Aileen and her sister had tried to assassinate, even presenting a Soul Fragment, Aileen was expelled... Looking back now, from that time on, there were already traitors all around her.

Catherine, Silf, Asina—all were people Qin Chu intentionally left by her side. In this team, the only one genuinely wanting to resurrect Jie Luo was herself.

To manipulate and monitor just one person, he had actually planted three times the spies; Qin Chu was really excessive.

As she embraced them, shared visions of resurrecting Jie Luo, expressed her will to revive Jie Luo, and outlined plans to resurrect Jie Luo, they must have secretly laughed, perhaps turning and revealing all her plans to Qin Chu.

They even consistently cooperated with her, remembering how she, surrounded by Catherine and the others, proudly placed hard-collected Soul Fragments in her hand, with her subtly at the center, even proud and delighted from it—how foolish.

No wonder after that, collecting Soul Fragments became suddenly much easier, the results gained effortlessly... it was all Qin Chu manipulating from behind the scenes.

And she, foolishly, precisely stepped into the traps that Qin Chu had set in advance, without the slightest error.

Even in her attempt to wrest the Holy Court Pope's position, it was Catherine who inadvertently mentioned it—definitely under Qin Chu's instructions.

In the end, the Holy Daughter became a traitor, the Pope fell.

All benefits seized by Qin Chu.

Being fooled for such a long time, truly pitiful.

She seemed like a pitiable creature, being toyed with in the palm of Qin Chu's hand all along.

Sigh...

Rose Vesper suddenly let out a long breath, surprisingly calmed down gradually at this moment, no longer as out of control as before.

What good is hate, resentment, despair?

She could do nothing anymore.

"Benson was killed by you?" Rose Vesper asked neurotically.

"I just answered that question... but I don't mind answering you again, yes." Qin Chu nodded: "Ah, by the way, there's something you must know... Benson... well, how should I put it, he likely had deep feelings for you."

Rose Vesper nodded slightly: "I know."

"No, no, no, you don't know..." Qin Chu immediately shook his head: "I'm saying... in Benson's storage ring... there's a large collection of clothes you've worn and discarded, mainly white stockings, far more than the single pair you saw him holding in his hand. He even set up a small altar in the storage ring, carefully placing the stockings you've worn there to worship."
