Lydia hurmed in acknowledgment and fell into step beside him.
It was December 1. The weather had already turned cold, yet Dominic wore only a sweater and carried
his coat in one hand,
In the elevator, Lydia asked, “Aren’t you cold?”
Dominic shook his head. His physical condition was no longer that of an ordinary person.
Just like the last time at Katherine’s house, when he rode the bike, he could pedal for more than half an hour without stopping and still feel as if he were only halfway through the ride. How many ordinary people could manage that?
Lydia giggled and made small talk. I’m not cold either”
Dominic rolled his eyes. When they reached the underground garage, where there were no cameras, he grabbed Lydia’s arm.
Lydia wore only a thin nightdress. The chill hit her immediately, and she hissed, “So cold!”
Dominic laughed.
Lydia glared at him with her beautiful eyes. “You’re annoying!”
She said it, yet a strange joy stirred inside her.
Dominic did not tease her further. He went to start his old car.
Together, they drove straight to the Grant residence.
When the car reached the entrance, they saw a huge crowd.
Dominic frowned. He had underestimated the impact of Zachary’s death.
Inside and outside the estate, nearly every space was filled with people.
Countless bodyguards stood in formation, and a significant number of police officers were present as
Well,
Most of the crowd consisted of prominent figures from Skyline City’s society. Dominic had already seen many of them yesterday at Autumn’s birthday party.
Dominic thought for a moment, then got out of the car with Lydia,
The bodyguards barely glanced at him and did not stop them.
As he walked into the courtyard, he had not yet reached the villa’s front door when he heard sobbing from inside.

Most visitors came to pay their respects, burn a few candles, and then leave.
Some people entered while others left.
A few recognized Dominic. When they saw him arrive and recalled Jessica’s situation yesterday, they greeted him politely.
“Mr. Fleming!”
Even when Dominic did not know them, he nodded lightly and shook their hands. Because of that little pervert, his status had risen unintentionally.
Inside the house, a huge coffin stood in the main hall.
A group of people wept nearby, while Elijah sat to the side with red eyes, chain–smoking without pause.
When Dominic arrived, Elijah’s gaze snapped toward him. “It’s you!”
Dominic ignored him and walked quietly to Zachary’s coffin. He stood there and stared in silence.
He did not light a candle or offer condolences.
Elijah stood and walked over, speaking with deliberate care. “Dominic, did you do this?”
The crying stopped at once. Everyone turned in shock.
Even the police officers‘ expressions grew extremely serious.
Dominic smiled faintly. “Grant, have you been drinking?”
Elijah’s eyes burned red with anger. He seemed close to losing control. He glared at Dominic and shouted, “My son had a grudge against you! You had a motive! Tell me. Was it you?”
His voice rang out loudly, yet Dominic did not flinch. He answered calmly, “Shouting louder does not
make you right. As for how Zachary died, the police will uncover the truth.”
Elijah breathed heavily and gritted his teeth. “No matter who did it, anyone who harms my son will suffer the most terrible revenge in the world!”
Dominic shrugged and turned to leave.
Elijah stared at his back with clenched fists. “It’s him! He killed my son! Don’t let him leave!”
At that moment, someone nearby shouted loudly.

At first, he had only suspected that this was connected to Dominic. Now, as he watched Lydia follow closely behind Dominic, suspicions vanished it was a certainty
After shouting several times with no response, Zachary gritted his teeth and chased after them
Dominic glanced back out of the corner of his eye, a faint smile touching his lips.
Instead of leaving the villa directly, he walked toward a flower bed beside the house. Mounted on the wall nearby hung a red fire are.
Lydia, you damn bitch! Stop right there! Zachery shouted, pointing furiously at her. He had no idea Dominic could see him.
Lydia did not flinch. She sneered at him coldly,
Enraged and penicked, Zachery rushed up to her and tried to attack
But at that moment he realized he could not affect anything in the real world. He could not even harm Lydia, who was also a spirit
They could touch each other, yet nothing they did could cause even the slightest change.
Dominic watched this and began forming a rule in his mind.
As long as he did not intervene, a spirit’s state remained fixed from the moment it appeared, including its clothes, body shape, and everything else. Even other spirits could not alter it.
Lydia laughed, “Go ahead. Hit me, idiot.”
Frustrated, Zachary punched her. Lydia felt nothing. Not even the slightest tremor passed through her body,
Dominic relaxed. He walked over to the wall, took down the fire axe, and swung it casually.
A bodyguard noticed at once and barked, “What are you doing?”
Dominic smiled. “This axe feels good in my hand. Thought I’d play with it for a bit.”
The bodyguard frowned. Everyone here was either wealthy or powerful, so he did not dare offend Dominic. Since no one else stood nearby, he simply kept his distance and watched with caution.
Dominic pricked his finger with a needle and smeared a drop of blood across the blade.
Zachary frowned in confusion. He had no idea what Dominic was doing.
Dominic swung the axe a few more times, then picked up his phone and said with a smile, “How does it

Then a flash of killing intent appeared in Dominic’s eyes.

In an instant, Zachary’s legs separated from his body as easily as sheets of paper. He collapsed to the ground, an unimaginable pain crashing over him like a tidal wave.
