Chapter 241

The anger suddenly froze in the air.

Felicity grabbed Isaiah's hand and shook her head at him, "I'm fine."

Then she turned to Christopher and said, "I can start now."

Christopher gave her an understanding look.

Just that one look made Isaiah's brow furrow tightly, but with Felicity present, he held back his temper.

Renata and Royal also thought Christopher seemed a bit strange, but since he was anxious for Olivia's sake, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible.

Soon Helen, Hayes, and Felicity stood at the center of the altar, placing their palms on the sensing stone. Before long, the torches behind them ignited with the Fire of Sincerity.

Watching the flames dance in the wind, Christopher narrowed his eyes, a barely noticeable excitement and thrill flashing in them. After all these years, was he finally going to beat Olivia to the Fire Element Blood Ruby?

But lighting the sacred fire wasn't enough—he still needed the other five elemental Blood Rubies. That was the only way to open the sacred wall.

Currently, except for the Wood Element Blood Ruby, all five other elemental Blood Rubies were with Olivia.

Christopher looked up at Olivia, who was still tangled with Philly in the sky. Obviously, Philly had already lost and was just holding on with her last bit of strength.

He suddenly flew up and came to Olivia's side, "Olivia, the sacred fire is lit. You go open the sacred fire wall, leave this to me."

Rather than being suspected, better to take the initiative.

This way, it would be much simpler and easier to snatch the Fire Element Blood Ruby from her hands.

Thinking this, Christopher's expression became even more determined.

Hearing this, Olivia looked down and saw the sacred fire already burning on the altar. Seeing Philly's struggling state, she nodded without hesitation, "Then I'll leave this to you."

With Philly's current ability, she probably couldn't activate Parker inside Christopher's body.

Seeing her agree, Christopher was trembling with excitement, but under Olivia's watchful eyes, he didn't dare show it too obviously.

It wasn't until she flew toward the altar, and Philly, who had been following closely, was blocked by Parker, that she finally noticed something was wrong.

Philly looked him up and down, seeing the coldness mixed in his expression, and sneered, "You really aren't Christopher!"

"You found out."

Parker showed no fear of being exposed. He shrugged, "Wasn't it you who had Hestia let me out? Why so surprised?"

Seeing him so arrogant, Philly said through gritted teeth, "Parker, don't forget the conditions you promised Master Fuhrman!"

"If I had forgotten, you'd already be dead."

Parker's eyes were dark as they settled on her, saying word by word, "You'd better leave now. Leave this to me. I won't let her get the Fire Element Blood Ruby."

With that, he pretended to fight with Philly, creating explosions all around, stirring up dust and smoke that confused everyone's vision.

Philly thought for a moment, realizing that staying here any longer would be pointless. She nodded, "I'm waiting for you to snatch the Fire Element Blood Ruby and bring it to me. You'd better not disappoint Master Fuhrman."

Her gaze at Parker was meaningful.

Parker just smiled without answering. Unable to get a promise, Philly felt increasingly uneasy, but he clearly wasn't giving her the right to question him.

After watching him for a while, Philly could only grit her teeth and, taking advantage of the scattered firelight, escape with her people.

Having driven away the nuisance, Parker's smile dropped, his eyes filled with gloom, "What is Fuhrman anyway? Just a dog who once lost to me, and he dares to order me around?"

He took a deep breath in Philly's direction, wiped the sneer off his face, and flew to Olivia's side.

At this moment, Olivia was extracting the Wood Element Blood Ruby from Felicity's body. Seeing him return, she couldn't help but glance into the distance.

Parker knew what she was looking at and explained, "She couldn't beat me, so she ran away."

But it was precisely this statement that raised doubts in Olivia's mind. She had just fought with Philly and knew how persistent she was. Would she really leave like this without achieving her goal?

Her thoughts seemed written all over her face, completely visible to Parker. He imitated Christopher's tone and asked with concern, "Olivia, what are you worried about?"

"Nothing, just worried that Philly might come back."

While Philly couldn't beat her, she couldn't kill her quickly either. She was too cunning and too persistent—her spells could dodge almost half of Olivia's attacks.

Parker secretly complained about Olivia's suspicion, but said comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'll stay here and watch for her. If she dares to come, I won't show any mercy."

Hearing this, Olivia temporarily put aside her doubts.

She nodded slightly, "Then thank you for your trouble."

While speaking, she had already extracted the Wood Element Blood Ruby from Felicity's body and summoned the other four elemental stones from her own body. The stones floated in the air, forming a pentagram formation.

Next, Olivia placed the burning sacred fire into the Fire Element Blood Ruby position in the pentagram formation. The five elemental Blood Rubies began rotating on their own, the sacred fire wall opened, and a tall tower rose from underground, with a glowing Fire Element Blood Ruby suspended at the top.

Seeing this, Parker's breathing unconsciously quickened. He silently moved in behind Olivia.

Everyone else was also amazed by this scene, never imagining such treasure was buried beneath the altar.

The moment she saw the Fire Element Blood Ruby, Olivia flew forward, trying to retrieve it. But in that split second, the Fire Element Blood Ruby on the tower suddenly vanished without a trace.

Watching it disappear right before her eyes, Olivia suddenly looked around, her expression taking on a hint of alertness. However, everything around was quiet, except Christopher was nowhere to be seen.

"What just happened? How did the Fire Element Blood Ruby disappear?"

Renata and Royal were closest to Olivia. Both had witnessed the Fire Element Blood Ruby vanish and knew it wasn't Olivia who took it. They were greatly alarmed.

Olivia's expression grew serious.

It seemed what she least wanted to think about had happened. She just hadn't expected Parker to be much smarter this time, knowing to use Christopher's identity as cover to deceive everyone.

At this moment, Renata also realized, exclaiming, "Was it Christopher?"

"No, it was Parker!"

Royal angrily continued, "Damn it, he ran too fast. He obviously prepared this in advance, or we would have noticed."

"Ms. Smith, what should we do?"

Olivia looked at the four spirit stones still suspended in the air, absorbed them all into her body, her expression blank but showing some gravity, "The Fire Element Blood Ruby is useless in his body. He can't form a physical body and can only attach to Christopher, unless he..."

"Unless he finds another host?"

Hearing this, Renata took a deep breath, "Then who would Parker choose?"

"There aren't many people Parker can choose from. He must have already found his target."
