It was almost evening. A fragrant smell of cooked rice and vegetables could be smelt in the alley.

Victoria Presley held a book in her arms as she turned into the alley with light footsteps.

In the alley, an elderly woman with powder white hair smiled at her. "Hey, little girl. Are you back from your tuition?"

"Yes!" She nodded lightly and smiled. "Have you eaten, Mrs. Gally?"

"Yes, I have." The old woman admired this beautiful young girl before her, who had finished her studies herself at such a young age. "You should hurry home too and make your meal!"

"Of course, Mrs. Gally. Goodbye!" Victoria bowed at her politely and turned around to leave happily.

"What a matured and responsible child!" Mrs. Gally sighed gently, "So much better than the rascal I have back home!"


Victoria walked down the pebbled path in the alley. She turned at a corner, and an open space of about ten square meters appeared before her.

There was a small table and two stools under the dim twilight. A young man was sitting on one of the stools and reading a book with a red cover.

Victoria held her breath and walked slowly past the young man.

"Don't you want to come and have a look at the book in my hand? I've read a few pages, and it's pretty good." The young man looked at the book and started speaking suddenly.

After a moment of hesitation, the little girl tilted her head slightly and asked, "Big brother, were you talking to me?"

Jacob raised his head and looked at her. "If you are Theodore Presley from the Cruor Sect, then I was talking to you. Are you Theodore Presley?"

Victoria trembled lightly. The light in her eyes dimmed. She walked toward Jacob after a moment of silence.

She sat down and put the book in her arms on the table. She smiled and spoke coquettishly. "Big brother, is this book… The Cruor's Bible? How is this possible?"

Victoria could not hold back her shock when she saw the blood red covered book with jade white inner pages filled with golden printed words. She exposed her identity right away.

She asked in a trembling voice. "How did… My Cruor Sect's Bible… Get into your hands?"
