Chapter 594 - "Breaking Free"
'Ainsley' was not the real Ainsley's soul, just an illusion projected from Ainsworth's deepest feelings.
Of course she couldn't just say she would take back the body.
Whatever she said was actually just a bluff to shake Ainsworth's mind, entangling in a psychological war.
But now that Ainsworth believed in her own words about staying and helping the Sloan Family to flourish as a way to pay for stealing the body, 'Ainsley' had nothing to do.
Just……why? Why could Ainsworth have such a mindset to do everything for the family even if she had to leave in the end?
Of course, that might not happen in reality, but the moment Ainsworth said that she was willing for that to happen, the doubt, guilt and other negative feelings in her heart vanished.
Since the illusion reflected Ainsworth's pitiful side, she could no longer maintain her form.
She was defeated thoroughly.
Slowly but surely, 'Ainsley' curled the edge of her lips and smiled.
"So be it. I'll return when you accomplish your goal."
'Ainsley' slowly vanished, and the moment she did, the ability user could feel the change, and his face instantly paled.
"The illusion is destroyed. That girl overcomes her negative feelings, and the illusion is no use anymore!"
When the ability user said this, his companions gasped quietly.
"Impossible. Your illusion should affect one's soul and dig out their hidden feelings that they don't want to face. Most people will give up facing this kind of illusion!"
The female colleague looked at the ability user in disbelief. Following her, another male colleague commented.
"What kind of things did you show her? Is it not heart-breaking enough?"
The ability user felt that his friend insulted him when he questioned his ability like that. Thus, he snorted and voiced his annoyance.
"I show her the original body's soul and her immense guilt of taking the original body. As a foreign soul, how can she not feel guilty at all?"
"Maybe she truly didn't?"
"But my illusion reflected things that she doesn't want to face! It means that she's immensely guilty, and I make use of it."
"But you still fail." The second female colleague, the youngest of them all, quietly responded.
Hearing her quiet voice, the soul illusion ability user paused before smiling wryly.
"Yeah. I didn't expect her to give away the body she stole readily, but she said she couldn't do it now. She would gladly give up the body once she reaches her goal."
Whatever things the illusion saw, the ability user also saw the same thing. Thus, he knew what Ainsworth said.
"That girl has no greed over the body, and that's why her guilt can't completely overwhelm her. Her mental strength is quite strong."
With this reasoning, the group looked at each other and sighed.
One marble bullet that could trigger the soul illusion ability was knocked down……they only had three bullets left inside Ainsley's soul.
That's right. Once the illusion was broken, the marble bullet also vanished since it was the catalyst for activating the soul illusion.
Unfortunately, it is gone now.
The female colleague, the mature one, couldn't help but shake her head in disappointment.
"What to do now? Wait and see or go back and come back later?"
They still had three bullets inside Ainsley's soul, and one of them could shake her soul.
Of course, the other two were passive skills, but one of them acted as a GPS so that the Ability User could find Ainsley no matter where she went.
At the woman's words, the soul illusion ability user clenched his fists and lowered his head weakly.
"I think we should retreat for now. That baby's soul is truly strong. If we don't go now, there's a chance that others discover us."
It would be hard to rob Ainsley's soul, and they couldn't stay at the mausoleum for a long time. After all, their invisibility potion was going to wear off.
Thus, the group made a tacit understanding to retreat and lurk in the dark for a chance to rob Ainsley's soul.
At the same time, that very night, Ainsley's people were resting at the mausoleum's hall with some guards patrolling and the five buds taking turns to nurse Ainsley.
However, a commotion happened out of the blue.
Ainsley, who was in a deep coma before, abruptly opened her eyes!
The one in charge of nursing Ainsley at that time was Alvaro. The guy was earnestly wiping Ainsley's face with a cloth of wet towel when he saw the baby's eyes opened.
He almost slapped the towel onto Ainsley's cheek.
"F-f-family– " Alvaro bit his tongue before he completed his words.
"FAMILY HEAD??"
The moment Alvaro shouted, the rest of the people in the hall instantly woke up. Even the guards patrolling outside suddenly rushed into the building.
"What? What? What happens?"
"What's going on? What's with the family head?"
"Is it a night attack? Assassination? Poisoning??"
Ainsley's people, around 300 of them, the war winners, instantly crowded around Alvaro. Each of them held their weapons tightly as they tried to look for the enemies 'attacking' their boss.
Unfortunately, the only thing they saw was a baby sitting on the crudely made bed with a dumbfounded face.
She looked around the people and tilted her head.
"……what's gwoing on?"
Silence suddenly filled the hall. The members were stunned. They almost couldn't move at all. The five buds that just gathered around Ainsley were about to faint.
Elliana and the 4 generals dropped their jaws as if they just saw a ghost.
Ain……our boss……is awake? She got up after 5 days?!
The first one to react was Jevon and Elliana.
Without prior agreement, both people instantly rushed to Ainsley's side and pulled her into their embrace.
"MILADDYYY!!"
"BOSS!"
