Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160: Open Strategy Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160: Open Strategy In early spring, the temperature inside the hotel was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight degrees Celsius.
Elaenor Wood wore a set of white pajamas, with the book she had just finished reading by her bed.
“World History.”
She wanted to understand what changes had occurred in the world during the years she had been asleep.
Now that she had left Boulevard, it was imperative to integrate into modern society.
Luckily, Elaenor Wood was very clever.
She quickly learned to use the latest high-tech products like smartphones and computers.
“Let's be honest, you can't withstand my interrogation.”
Elaenor Wood looked at the terrified Elwood Thorneycroft in front of her and shook her head, “I really admire the Saint Leader for having such a way with women.”
A thin layer of ice formed on the hotel's floor.
Elwood Thorneycroft's legs had nearly been encased in it.
The bone-chilling cold made her tremble uncontrollably.
That cold did not seem like ordinary cold.
Rather, it was like ice spikes piercing the soul!
“You can't hold out,” Elaenor Wood stood up and walked on the thin ice.
She was barefoot, seemingly enjoying the sensation.
And she didn't feel cold in the slightest.
“Hss…”
Elwood Thorneycroft inhaled sharply, her body shaking like a sieve.
Even though she hugged herself with both hands, she couldn't withstand the painful sensation.
“If the ice spreads a little further, you will completely lose both of your legs,” Elaenor Wood walked over to the bed, flipping open “World History” and said indifferently, “You're a good girl; I don't want you to end up disabled because of me.”
The book had an illustration of a steam engine.
“Isn't this our kettle?”
Elaenor Wood pointed to the steam engine and looked towards Zain Ellsworth, “When we boiled water before, how come we didn't realize it could be used this way?”
“Maybe…
we just didn't see its potential,” Zain Ellsworth said with a grave voice.
“That's also true.”
Elaenor Wood lightly licked her fingertip and turned to the next page.
“My girl, there's no need to put up a tough front.
No one can withstand me; nobody can.”
His words were filled with confidence.
“I…
I'll talk…”
Elwood Thorneycroft's complexion was deathly pale; her body trembled to its limit.
It seemed that she might faint at any moment if the freeze continued.
Crack!
Elaenor Wood stomped her foot hard.
The ice on the hotel floor vanished instantly.
“Whew!”
Once the thin ice disappeared, Elwood Thorneycroft finally collapsed onto the ground.
Unable to stop shaking.
“Get her a pen and paper; after she's done writing, let her go.”
Elaenor Wood walked to the window, engrossed in “World History.”
It seemed that during the centuries of her slumber, the world had gone through unprecedented upheavals.
Even the hotel she was in was a place unimaginable in the past.
Dozens of stories high!
Perhaps, only palaces or top-tier sects could construct such tall buildings in the past.
Now, they were everywhere.
“May I ask…
who you are?”
As Elwood Thorneycroft trembled while writing down the formula from Medicine King Valley on the paper, she raised her head to look at the silhouette of Elaenor Wood.
Originally, she had been prepared to take a ship back to the Americas.
But at the Middle-river Pier, she was captured by Zain Ellsworth and brought here.
Gonzalez City!
Back to Gonzalez City, this familiar city.
The man in front of her was so unfamiliar.
Even though.
Elwood Thorneycroft belonged to Thunderpeak Hall and had seen many strong figures.
But she still knew nothing.
Her whereabouts were not traced by Devlin in a short time, but the man before her seemed to understand everything perfectly.
This frightened Elwood Thorneycroft immensely, but also piqued her curiosity.
“The more you know, the faster you die,” Elaenor Wood carried a certain sinister air about her.
Everyone who saw him thought he was very strange.
“The formula, I've finished writing it…” Elwood Thorneycroft said softly.
Even now, the chill on her had not entirely faded.
“Let's go.” Elaenor Wood waved her hand without even bothering to look back.
Her eyes were engrossed in the section about the invention of the telephone, her interest apparent.
Elwood Thorneycroft carefully stood up and made her way to the door, where she quickly left after making sure Zain Ellsworth had no intention of stopping her.
But her heart thumped wildly!
Often, to silence someone, they are first allowed to leave.
To strike the fatal blow when filled with hope!
Elwood Thorneycroft had no illusions.
She just kept walking forward.
Even if she were to die, at least it would be swift.
But she made it all the way out of the hotel without anyone attempting to kill her.
“I'm still alive?” Elwood Thorneycroft patted her chest, feeling the joy of a narrow escape for the first time.
Gonzalez City, oh!
Once a city filled with sorrow.
It was here that Fabian Percival, full of ambition, had descended from the plane with her, intent on reviving the past glory!
What a pity.
Her father by oath, gone forever here.
It was like the falling leaves returning to their roots.
After all, Fabian Percival belonged to this place from the beginning.
“Why let her go, Medicine God?” Zain Ellsworth said worriedly, “What if she…”
“A minor character,” Elaenor Wood stood at the window, watching Elwood Thorneycroft walk down the street below.
“What's the point of killing more of such minor figures?
Killing a million like her wouldn't excite me nearly as much as killing a single Saint.”
His demeanor was very refined.
“If this woman goes to Julius Reed and recounts today's events in detail, it will definitely affect our plan,” Zain Ellsworth continued worriedly.
“Julius Reed is extremely intelligent and will surely guess our intentions.”
If it weren't for the Medicine God's intervention, he would have already killed her.
To eliminate any future threat!
“What's there to be afraid of!” Elaenor Wood closed the book he was holding and casually placed it on the bedside table.
Looking at an anxious Zain Ellsworth, he spoke in a calm tone, “In the face of absolute power, guile and plotting are futile!
This is an open strategy; I, Elaenor Wood, wish to have a fair and square battle of wits with Julius Reed!
Let's see who will be the ultimate victor.”
“This could increase the difficulty of our revenge,” Zain Ellsworth insisted.
“Do you think it's likely to have an unexpected snowfall here in April?” Elaenor Wood suddenly changed the topic, surprising Zain Ellsworth.
However, after a brief moment of contemplation, he replied solemnly, “It's near the sea, and it hardly ever snows even in winter.
Now in April, in the heart of spring, it's nearly impossible.”
“And if it were to snow now, what would that be?”
Elaenor Wood opened the window, looking at the turning green trees and budding flowers outside.
A smile spread across his face.
“A miracle!
Unless a miracle happens!” Zain Ellsworth looked up at the clear sky, and felt the weather over twenty degrees.
He shook his head, “An almost impossible occurrence.”
“Look!”
Elaenor Wood closed his eyes slowly and took a deep breath.
Ice crystals began to bloom at his fingertips.
The next moment.
Around the hotel.
Snow began to fall.
The trees that had been greening and the blossoms all wilted instantly.
“This…”
Zain Ellsworth was stunned.
“Difficult, is it?”
Elaenor Wood turned around, a slight smile on his face, “It was a mere trifle.
Just as you fear that Julius Reed learning the news will complicate our plans.
In truth, your scope is simply not broad enough.”
“When one's power has reached our level, all petty tricks become meaningless.”
Elaenor Wood looked at Zain Ellsworth, who was a bit lost in thought, and chuckled, “Take for instance the person you mentioned, Devlin; if he had my abilities, would he need to spend so much effort scheming against others?
Only mice need to burrow holes.
Tigers walk the path that naturally opens to them.”
“Achoo!”
Meanwhile.
At Middle-river Pier.
Devlin sneezed, muttered to himself, “Who's cursing me!”
