Upon hearing Maria’s words, Violet furrowed his brows and subconsciously questioned, “How is this possible… you must be lying to me.”

Violet shook his head and responded with seriousness and candor, “If I believed what you said, and this ring can indeed transport people to others. However, when Gideon suddenly exploded earlier, my thoughts were not of you… I thought of my deceased parents.”

As he spoke, Violet couldn’t help but mutter again, “It seems that in the end, my wife’s image flashed through my mind. If what you said is true, then perhaps I was sent to see my wife by the ring…”

Maria pursed her lips and, with a touch of sadness, said, “Josef, I didn’t lie to you. I know that at the moment of life and death, you wouldn’t have been thinking of me. However, this ring was passed down to me by my father. Before he passed away, he desired to see me the most, so the ring was bestowed upon me.”

Violet was dumbfounded upon hearing this. He hadn’t anticipated that the ring possessed such magical properties!

After a brief pause, Maria continued, “My father left this ring to me, and later, in Northern Europe, I gave this ring to you…” She changed the subject and added, “However, even though I gave it to you, the ring still recognizes my father as its primary owner. So when you were in danger today, it sensed that you were in peril, and it sent you to me, just as it had done with my father before.”

Violet remained speechless, his mind grappling to comprehend the situation.

After a while, he asked in puzzlement, “If what you say is true, then this ring is truly a lifesaving artifact. Why did you give such a precious item to me?”

Maria chuckled wryly and replied, “The ring isn’t a perpetual energy device. It requires a significant amount of reiki to instantaneously transport a living person across thousands of miles. Since I lack reiki, wearing the ring serves no purpose.”

She looked at Violet once more and inquired, “Josef, I assume you infused the ring with a substantial amount of reiki, right?”

Slightly displeased, Violet sighed, “So it drained my reiki in order to save me from danger one day…”
