Chapter 401: Chapter 336 I Won’t Be Fooled!

Gospel Time 9 o’clock, Hanna, who was dealing with official duties, felt the family crest heat up punctually.

Because it was a privately owned dream realm that operated on a cost-recovery basis, each activation of the family’s Rebirth Dream required a substantial consumption of resources, so it was only open for 4 hours a day, from 20:00 to 24:00.

As a result, it was impossible for everyone to swarm into the dream realm all at once; otherwise, the Senheiser district would be paralyzed instantly.

For the off-duty staff, there were no restrictions. At 8 o’clock, the emblems would heat up on time, and for those who needed to work during the night shift, they had to enter the dream realm in planned batches to ensure each functional unit could still operate normally. This arrangement was obligatory; if it wasn’t your scheduled time, your emblem wouldn’t heat up at all. As for how to allocate these times reasonably, of course, it was arranged by the great Gospel.

Unlike the ordinary people who yearned for the Gospel, as a Clan Leader who frequently used the Gospel, Hanna had a profound understanding of its power and precision, which is why she had absolute confidence in the Weaving Festival’s “Art leaderboard.”

Based on her investigations, not only other families from Vatican Mura, but the entire Kingdom of Gospel were beginning to strategically stockpile supplies, all forces preparing to contend with an impending unknown disaster.

Although Senheiser was one-sixth City Lord in Vatican Mura, compared to the entirety of Gospel, it was nothing more than a small family; in the face of disaster enough to annihilate nations and cities, they were mere ants struggling for survival.

Hanna was very anxious inside; fifty years was not a long time for her, and she might well witness the demise of Senheiser herself. But on the surface, she could not show any sense of urgency; as the pillar of spirit for the entire family, everyone could be fearful, but she alone must not show the slightest flaw.

This was also the reason why she protected Hanna and others.

Sending Hanna and Ash away was merely a decorative touch for the family, of no help to the bigger picture of the future; but if Hanna and the others could obtain the Divine Lord’s wishes, then she would have the leverage of bestowing favors in a time of need.

The contract was just a lure to keep Hanna from leaving, and now that they were all in Senheiser, to enter the family dream realm tonight was Hanna’s true killer move.

Threats and bribes were never the right path to expansion, only love and family could truly make someone a part of the family forever.

However, Hanna must have seen through her intentions from the very start.

Hanna was dissatisfied with her daughter in every aspect, but when it came to scheming, they were evenly matched.

But seeing through it was one thing; Hanna would still have to obediently walk into her trap. Hanna’s favorite thing was to see her daughter’s face filled with dissatisfaction yet compelled to submit to her.

No one knew that Hanna had deliberately raised Hanna this way: smart, cunning, and full of rebellion.

As a genius Mage, Clan Leader, and Red Hat of the Holy Domain, Hanna hadn’t met a suitable opponent in a long while. She didn’t have many friends either, and those who were certainly dared not confront her. Plus, with the lengthy life of an elf, Hanna had finally started to feel somewhat bored.

So, she decided to create an opponent for herself, a playmate, an enemy–who better to cultivate than her own daughter?

After giving Hanna enough childhood traumas, Hanna let her leave to inherit the Doran business, waiting for the day she would return for revenge. Whether she came to fight for the family business or to destroy Senheiser, Hanna was looking forward to battling wits and bravery with Hanna to pass her boring latter years.

Although Hanna appeared covetous of the Doran family business, yet again, for the current Senheiser, the secret legacy of the Doran family was just icing on the cake, unlikely to further advance the family. Seizing the Doran legacy was just one more excuse for Hanna to continue to bully Hanna.

However, the Weaving Festival happened to foretell a disaster in the future, which suddenly made the Doran legacy important…perhaps this was the reward she deserved for bullying her daughter.

But… should Hanna get married?

When she first saw Liss, Hanna thought she was Hanna and Ash’s child–there was no helping it, after all, from the “Art leaderboard” on the Weaving Festival, Hanna had actually painted a portrait of Ash, and it seemed that Hanna was even forced to do so by Ash. Meanwhile, the current Ash was an employee under Hanna’s contract, a relationship one could easily spin a whole saga of twisted love and hate.

Although it seemed like no spark had occurred yet, Hanna still had a lot of faith in the Weaving Festival; if not now, definitely in the future.

If I send someone else to seduce Ash away, would it further ignite Hanna’s fighting spirit? It’s best to send someone Hanna knows… Nona would be a good choice…

Hanna thought this as she sank into the family dream realm.

She didn’t linger in the Land of Origin but entered directly into an orange bubble, and then, with a shake of her body, she transformed into an elf pastry chef and descended into the pastry factory.

Many speculated what the Clan Leader might do in the dream realm, some guessed Hanna would go to the battle royale bubbles, some believed she would love to be an inquisitor, while others thought Hanna would join a wild orgy… no one would have guessed that Hanna liked to make cakes and chocolates in the realm of dreams.

Actually, Hanna hadn’t thought about it much either, but since Hanna used to like sweets, she deliberately prepared the desserts herself, waiting for little Hanna to come over wanting a bite when she would then make all sorts of impossible demands. As little Hanna sat aside, drooling and close to tears after failing her, Hanna would leisurely enjoy the dessert she had made, and that joy made the process of preparing the sweets an interesting affair.
