Chapter 518 Tradition Part 1
As if in response to his thoughts, the pendant Elizabeth gave him started to vibrate, buzzing softly.
Reign looked at it and pressed the small button in the middle.
Immediately, a sound came from the pendant.
"Can you hear me?" Elizabeth's voice came through.
"Yeah, I can hear you. What's the problem?"
"What's the problem? I've been trying to contact you, but the pendant wasn't responding. Did you leave it somewhere?" Elizabeth's voice sounded both annoyed and relieved. Experience new tales on empire
"Yes," he replied.
"I forgot to mention—it only works if it's touching your skin." she explained.
'Oh, so that's why,'
he thought, piecing it together.
'But then, what about Anna? '
He turned to her, raising an eyebrow. "Where's your communication device?"
Anna, still beaming and clinging to his arm, shrugged with a playful smile. "I left it somewhere at my mansion."
Reign shook his head, holding back a sigh. She might have the appearance of an adult now, but her attitude reminded him of a spoiled child.
"Go get it," he commanded. "I need you to stay updated at all times when I'm busy."
She pouted slightly, not wanting to leave so soon after he'd returned.
"But—"
"No buts. Just go."
"Okay," she mumbled, nodding reluctantly.
She couldn't say 'No' to him, and he was making full use of this, turning her into his personal assistant, bodyguard, and more.
With that, he ended the call, the faint hum of the pendant now silent in his hand.
Without a second thought, he shoved it back into his pocket, his decision final. No more distractions, no more nonsense.
Reign turned away from the door, his mind already focused on his next steps.
'What's this feeling?'
He stopped walking, the hairs on the back of his neck standing up. He instinctively turned around, but before he could react, a semi-transparent hand burst through the wall behind him.
With a force that was almost too fast to follow, the hand slammed into him, sending shockwaves through his body.
BOOOOM!
He was slammed hard against the wall. The impact shattered it completely, sending him flying through the air.
His body flipped and tumbled uncontrollably, pain shooting through him as he struggled to regain his balance.
He only stopped when he collided with the invisible barrier that marked the edge of his territory.
Reign was left suspended for a moment, disoriented, dust settling around him, his mind racing to process what had just happened.
The pressure in the air still lingered, and his instincts screamed that this was no ordinary attack. Someone—or something—was after him.
'Not good!'
He felt the pressure again—a second strike coming, faster than the first. His senses snapped into overdrive.
With barely a moment to think, he jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding the massive, semi-transparent hand that shot through the ground, tearing up the earth as it swung by.
But before he could even take a breath, the ground beneath him cracked open, and another hand erupted from the earth.
It grabbed him , its cold energy seeping into his flesh as it squeezed.
"ARGHHHH!" he screamed in pain, quickly covering himself with a thin barrier to withstand the pressure.
But the hand was too powerful, and the shield shattered like glass, offering him no protection against the crushing pressure.
CRACK!
The force was overwhelming. And before he could catch a break, another massive hand gripped him tightly and started swinging him violently back and forth, like a ragdoll.
