Chapter 424: The Mandate Of Heaven
"Hmm..."The Senior stared down at her, moving with a slow, inescapable inevitability, he stretched his hand forward and placed his palm gently on Mirabella’s head.

Mirabella stared at him in surprise, her combat instincts screaming at her to dodge, but an absolute, pacifying aura pinned her safely in place.
