The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5718

It had been over three hundred years since Fleur had felt such fear as she did today.

That unfamiliar feeling of fear surged into her mind like a flood, giving her the sensation as if she was on an accelerating descent.

Despite living for four hundred years and growing stronger with time, her courage seemed to diminish as she aged. Over the years, she had feared two things the most: growing old and dying, and that her true identity would be exposed.

Thus, even though there were many members in the Qing Eliminating Society, very few actually knew the true identity of its leader.

Apart from the four great earls, all the rest were the Griffin family members. Those Griffin family members were all descendants of Fleur as well, and they relied on her for their luxurious lifestyles, so their loyalty to her was extremely high.

As for the rebellious few among the Griffins, Fleur never showed them any mercy. If they deserved to die, she made sure they did, and she showed no hesitation in executing them, even for those whose crimes didn't warrant death. Her methods were rather ruthless.

Moreover, she also kept a distance from the Griffin family members. They only knew she had great supernatural powers and had attained immortality, but they didn't know who her master was.

Similarly, the four great earls knew she had lived for four hundred years but did not know who her master was.

When feeling terrified, Fleur also thought of this point. She had initially thought that Ruby hadn't died but had leaked her information to her enemy that was hidden, but upon careful consideration, she remembered that she had never told Ruby that her master was Marcius Stark.

Aside from Fleur herself, there were only three people in the world who knew she was Marcius’ disciple.

The first was Marcius himself.

“What's even more inexplicable is if this person is indeed Master’s disciple in the previous five hundred years, he is my senior, and his strength must be higher than mine. Why would such a powerful person want to protect the Ackers? What's so special about the Ackers?!”

A thought suddenly flashed through Fleur’s mind, and she exclaimed, “Could it be that he wants to find the secret to longevity as well?”

With that thought in mind, Fleur furrowed her brows again and muttered to herself, “If he wants to find the secret to longevity as well, he shouldn't be protecting the Ackers…”

For a moment, various tangled and unclear clues crisscrossed in Fleur’s mind, making her feel that her brain juice was not enough.

However, one thing she could confirm was that the reason why the other party had brought out this portrait was to clearly send her a warning. If she continued to attack the Ackers, the other party would definitely retaliate.
