"Trisha, go back to the Residence and tell my husband about what happened," Lady Callista said. "I will be staying here for a few days. Ask Michael to send a few Grandmasters to protect this place for the time being."

"Yes, My Lady," Trisha bowed before leaving the room where Gerald was currently resting.

Lady Callista's personal maid was a Grandmaster Healer.

It was because of her specialty that she was assigned to Lady Callista. Her job was to take care of and serve as her personal healer just in case she needed it.

While Trisha was healing Gerald, she couldn't help but frown due to how serious his injuries were. Some of the stab wounds he received were dangerously close to his vital organs.

As one of the subordinates of the Leventis Family, she was well aware of the Assassin Organization that went by the name Death Wish.

They were willing to kill anyone as long as the price was right.

Also, their success rate was very high, so Gerald being able to escape was a miracle in itself.

Trisha had no doubt in her mind that if Gerald was an hour late in receiving medical help, he would have bled to death, making his wife Alessia a widow and leaving his kids without a father.

After the maid had sealed most of Gerald's injuries, she proposed that Gerald be taken to the hospital. However, Lady Callista shook her head.

They didn't know who had placed a bounty on Gerald's head, and it was very possible that he would not be safe in the hospital.

Because of this, Lady Callista took an elixir out of her storage ring and handed it to Trisha, making the latter's body stiffen.

"Use this to save my son," Lady Callista ordered.

Trisha nodded and helped the unconscious man to drink the Elixir, which was capable of saving someone suffering from grievous injuries as long as they still had breath in them.

Elixirs were extremely rare healing items, and there were only three of them in the Leventis Family.

Lady Callista had now used hers, which was considered a priceless treasure to ordinary families.

Gerald's complexion became better, and his breathing more stable. Alessia, who was doing her best to hold back her tears, finally gave in and covered her face with both hands.

Extreme anxiety flooded her senses when she saw her husband covered in blood upon arriving at the Gateway of their family. Fortunately, she wasn't an ordinary human, so she didn't faint.

She was also able to think rationally and immediately took out a potion in her possession and sprinkled it over her husband's body, allowing him to regain a bit of his strength before he was treated by Trisha.

"Again, go back to the residence and report what happened here, Trisha," Lady Callista ordered. "I will be staying here for a few days, so tell Michael to send some Grandmasters to guard this place during my stay."

"Yes, My Lady," Trisha bowed before leaving the room as fast as she could.

She understood why her Mistress decided to stay at her son's house.

As long as she was there, the Patriarch of the Leventis Family would have no choice but to send the Family's Sentinels to guard her and keep Thirteen's family safe.

While all the adults were inside the Master's bedroom, Thirteen was taking care of his siblings.

Mikhail and Shasha had tears in their eyes, while Remi was seated on Thirteen's lap.

For little children, things like sadness and laughter were very infectious.

If not for the fact that Thirteen had told Remi that their brother and sister were just acting, she would have been crying as well because they looked very sad right now.

'Death Wish,' Thirteen thought. 'Fortunately, I was able to impart Heaven's Blade to Father. If not…'

The Skill Heaven's Blade was a new Martial Technique that combined Heaven's Divide and Eternal Blade.

This skill allowed its wielder to move fast and hit hard at the same time. It also had a life-saving move called Overdrive, which allowed its wielder to increase their strength and speed by 500% in the span of five minutes.

It was this Martial Technique's Last Resort, and Gerald's body showed signs of using it.

The only downside to this technique was that, after the five minutes had passed, they would then enter a lethargic state, which would make them unable to move their body for an entire day.

They either have to overcome their opponents and win, or die in the process.

It was the ultimate Trump Card of Heaven's Blade, making it extremely potent in combat.

'Someone's targeting father, but who?' Thirteen thought.

The Leventis Family had many enemies, so it was possible that one of their rivals had targeted Gerald in order to send a message to the entire family.

Since he had been disowned, he had also lost the protection of his family, making him an easy picking.

If Gerald hadn't learned Heaven's Blade in time, they might have succeeded. But now that their plan had failed, they would probably lie low for the time being and wait for everything to cool off.

'I don't have enough information.' Thirteen sighed in his heart. 'It seems that I need to push my plans aside for a bit to deal with unforeseen variables.'

He originally thought that he would be able to take it easy and slowly grow up until his First Wandering.

Now that his Father had been attacked, he needed to create countermeasures for the safety of his family.

The only saving grace was that the Assassin Organization, Death Wish, only operated in Solterra.

Even so, Thirteen didn't plan to take any chances. Later, he would talk to his parents about his plan to help protect their family better.

Since Death Wish had failed their assassination attempt, they would definitely send more powerful experts to deal with his father the next time he went to Solterra.

There was a saying among the Wanderers that "No one escapes a Death Wish twice" because their second attempt would be several times deadlier than the first.

Faced with this threat, he was certain that his Father wouldn't be going to Solterra anytime soon and would have to stay in their home to fully recover while planning his next move.
