Chapter 926:
“I’m fine, really,” she assured him. “All those assassins had the same tattoo on their chests—a serpent. They had to be part of the same group that hunted Mom all those years ago p>
Panic laced Milton’s voice. “Elliana, I’m coming to get you right now!” The memory of their mother being hunted was still raw for him. The thought of his sister facing the same threat was unbearable.
She said gently, “Don’t fret. I can protect myself and fend them off p>
But he doubted her abilities. “Elliana, those people are merciless! Even Mom had to flee to escape them—what makes you think you can protect yourself? Give me your location. I’m coming to get you, and from now on, you’re not leaving my sight p>
Her heart warmed at his fierce concern. To ease him, she chose to reveal a truth she had kept hidden. She said calmly, “Milton, I am Death Thorn. Adah is Doomsday Rose. The staff at Rosewood Villa? They’re the Four Guardians of Thorn Rose. Believe me—I can protect myself p>
Silence stretched on the line before he finally spoke. “Elliana, are you really Death Thorn p>
“The one and only,” she said with a faint smile.
Milton was stunned. His sister was actually the Death Thorn, the woman even the Campbells respected. Her name alone carried weight. Her reputation was unmatched.
Ublento was a city bound by laws. Those assassins only dared to operate in the shadows. They couldn’t risk a big scene—drawing official attention would be a death sentence. Since Death Thorn had survived Delta—a place ruled by chaos and blood—she could more than handle those assassins in Ublento.
The thought settled Milton’s fear. Anxiety gave way to pride. His sister was a genius. Aside from being a skilled fighter, she had founded a formidable organization. She was a force of her own. A storm. An empire.

“Alright,” Elliana’s voice pulled him back to focus. “Let’s get back to business p>
Although Milton still worried for Elliana’s safety, he decided to respect her choice for now. In his mind, Death Thorn’s judgment couldn’t be much weaker than his own.
Elliana then recounted the Henderson family’s affairs to Milton.
Milton listened carefully, pulling key details from her story right away. “So what you’re saying, Elliana, is that the group that hunted our mother years ago was called the Serpent Society, and the mysterious family behind it is Max’s family p>
“Yes,” Elliana confirmed. “From various clues, the Serpent Society seems to be a faction within Delta. However, even though my organization has been entrenched in Delta for five years, I’ve never heard of the Serpent Society. Milton, have you heard of them p>
After a moment of thought, he shook his head. “Our family has built its own influence in Delta, but I’ve never heard of the Serpent Society—inside Delta or outside of it p>
Elliana pressed on with her analysis. “That book says Max’s family is extremely old, with a lineage passed down through countless generations. I’m convinced this family is real, but they remain unknown because they hide too well. It’s similar to how very few people outside know about our Campbell family.” The Campbell genealogy traced back more than six centuries. The ancestors of the Campbell family were royalty, and when that royal past was taken into account, their heritage stretched across more than a thousand years.
“From the way the story describes them, Max’s family must be just as old as ours,” Elliana continued. “A bloodline that’s lasted that long without interruption must have deep foundations and formidable strength. That’s why I want to know how our mother is connected to Max’s family—and why the Serpent Society would hunt her across continents p>
