Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 847: Defying Fate

At this moment, that familiar warm voice echoed by his ear again, Zane! Zane, wake up!

Zane Crawford’s eyelids fluttered, and then he opened his eyes.

However, what entered his sight was not Serena Sterling’s small face, but... Wade Wyatt.

Wade Wyatt looked tense and anxious, "Master, you’re finally awake, what happened to you? When I came in, I saw you collapsed here!"

Zane Crawford’s gaze slowly moved away from Wade Wyatt’s face and looked around, as if searching for someone.

"Master, are you looking for Miss Sterling? Right, Miss Sterling knows medicine. I’ll go get her right away!" Wade Wyatt got up to leave.

Zane Crawford immediately spoke, "Stop!"

Wade Wyatt stopped, and Zane Crawford sat up, looking at Wade Wyatt, "You must not let Serena know about this, understand?"

Wade Wyatt really wanted to ask why, but seeing his master’s stern expression, he dared not ask anything.

Zane Crawford stood up and returned to his room.

...

In the room.

Zane Crawford entered the shower, today he injected half the reagent, although he fainted halfway, he had successfully merged it.

He now had half of the Red Child’s Blood, and he just needed to successfully merge the remaining half to truly possess it.

Human life is indeed full of passion, living without loving anyone, loving the most, how can it end well?

Zane Crawford recalled the prophecy left by the high priest all those years ago, and he smiled faintly, since he aimed to reverse fate, he never intended it to end well.

After washing up, Zane Crawford put on a white bathrobe and came out, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and dialed a number.

Soon, the call was connected, and a familiar voice came through, "Hello?"

It was Titus Ashworth.

...

Serena Sterling bid farewell to Zane Crawford, "Zane, thank you for this time, but I have to leave now to handle my own matters."

Zane Crawford looked at her and asked, "What matters?"

First, to resolve the Merfolk Clan, second, to pull out the Sky Sword, she had to leave.

Serena Sterling smiled, "Zane, you don’t need to know my matters, that’s the safest for you."

"Do you need my help?"

Serena Sterling understood Zane Crawford’s concern, all the people of Alani had evacuated from Westria, and she’s still a wanted criminal, with the outside world hunting for her, how could she accomplish these two things on her own?

Serena Sterling’s clear eyes shone brightly, and she gently shook her head, "No, I can do it myself."

With that, she turned and left.

...

Serena Sterling arrived at a small wooden cabin on the outskirts, pushed open the door, and walked in, finding Consort Willow inside.

Seeing Serena Sterling, Consort Willow immediately burst into laughter, "Princess of Alani, I heard you’ve had a rough time recently, several of your loved ones have died, and you’re a wanted criminal. I warned you before, you could never be a match for our Merfolk Princess. Years ago, your ancestors of Alani couldn’t beat the merfolk, and years later, your Alani are still losing to us!"

Serena Sterling’s exquisite face wore a faint smile as she arched a delicate eyebrow, "Is that so? Who wins and who loses will be revealed tonight."

"What do you mean?" Consort Willow looked at Serena Sterling skeptically, "Princess of Alani, are you up to some scheme again?"

"Guess."

"Hmph, pretending to be mysterious! Princess of Alani, you better face reality. You can barely move, how will you fight us?"

Serena Sterling didn’t answer the question. She simply stepped forward, unfastened the ropes on the wall, and led Consort Willow out.

Consort Willow had been kept here for over a month, in utter darkness, and now suddenly stepping out to breathe fresh air, a sinister smile immediately curved on her lips.

But Consort Willow quickly sensed something was off because Serena Sterling led her into the dark forest ahead.

The forest stretched endlessly like a dark abyss ready to swallow someone whole. This mysterious and dangerous force of nature seemed particularly eerie on such a night.

Even Consort Willow felt creeped out, but Serena Sterling walked ahead, holding her rope, each step firm and composed, a faint moonlight overhead added a touch of ethereal grace.

Consort Willow was increasingly puzzled, "Princess of Alani, where are you taking me?"

Serena Sterling did not turn around and simply replied, "Just a walk."

A walk?

This answer almost made Consort Willow spit blood. Who goes for a random walk in the forest at night? To stroll?

At this point, Serena Sterling’s steps gradually came to a halt. She turned back, looking at Consort Willow, "Haven’t you already notified the merfolk?"

Consort Willow’s sinister smile instantly froze, she looked at Serena Sterling in shock, "How did you know?"

The Merfolk Clan had a secret signal, and once it was sent out, merfolk would quickly gather.

Currently, Westria and the merfolk were looking to capture Serena Sterling, with the merfolk especially, now that Serena appeared, the entire merfolk was likely on the move, leaving no opportunity wasted.

Serena Sterling’s lips curled, "Consort Willow, what do you think I brought you out here for? A walk? No, you’re not as interesting as a walk."

"You!"

"There’s a big show tonight, and I was waiting for you to summon the merfolk. Over the years, the Merfolk Clan has thrived and lurked, but now, instead of me having to hunt you down, you’ve all come to me. Isn’t that delightful?"

Consort Willow’s body stiffened. So Serena Sterling utilized her to summon the merfolk.

Over the years, the Merfolk Clan’s influence had spread widely and secretly, but this time Serena Sterling exposed the entire clan to the light.

Consort Willow felt a sense of foreboding, but she quickly dismissed it, as it seemed impossible, "Princess of Alani, stop pretending to be mysterious. When my merfolk army attacks, you won’t have the strength to resist, and you’ll die terribly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a disturbance arose in the silent forest, and a large group of people arrived, with the spirited merfolk princess in the lead.

The Merfolk Princess laughed heartily, "Princess of Alani, didn’t expect us to meet so soon, did you? Run, run, tonight you won’t escape even with wings!"

Serena Sterling looked up, finding herself surrounded by merfolk.

Consort Willow was overjoyed, straightening her back rapidly, "Princess of Alani, tonight is your end!"
