"Well..." Hearing Leon's inquiry, Shally seemed to recall something unpleasant. Her smile froze, and a trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes.

"Miss Summers, what's wrong? Is there something you're reluctant to share? If it's inconvenient for you to talk about it, just pretend I never asked, n Noticing her discomfort, Leon quickly changed the subject.

"Actually, there's nothing inconvenient to talk about. This villa was a gift from my grandfather when I graduated from university. I moved out of my family home to live here and planned to start my own business...

"But later, my parents and elder brother met with misfortune. They were harmed by evildoers... The Summers had no direct heirs left, so my grandfather asked me to move back and take over the family business..."

Shally sighed, her face filled with deep sadness and grief. Ever since she moved back to her family, the villa had been left vacant. She had kept it all this time with no particular use until now, by chance, it was sold to Leon.

"I see..." Leon was stunned by her explanation, finally understanding why Shally had reacted so strangely earlier.

"Miss Summers, I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to bring up your past. Please forgive me..." Leon apologized sincerely, feeling quite guilty for his prying questions.

"It's okay. After all, it's all in the past now, and the culprit was brought to justice some time ago.

"The deep-seated revenge of my parents and brother has finally been avenged. I believe their souls can now rest in peace..."

Shally suppressed her sorrow, forcing a faint smile. Her smile carried tears but also a sense of relief from avenging the deaths of her loved ones.

"That's good to hear."

Seeing that she did not mind, Leon felt much relieved.

"However, the only regret is that I don't know who the hero was that avenged my parents and brother. If I ever replace out or have the chance to meet that hero in the future, I will definitely express my deep gratitude for what they did for our family..." Shally said regretfully, a hint of disappointment on her face.

"What? You don't know who killed the culprit?" Leon was surprised.

"No, I don't. My parents and brother were caught up in a dispute over a treasure and were killed by one of the Eight Criminals, the Demon Lord.

"Recently, according to an announcement by the Dragon Corps of the Central region, the Demon Lord was slain by an expert from the Southern region's Dragon Corps.

"But I don't know exactly who killed the Demon Lord, and I've never had the chance to meet them..."

Shally shook her head.

"What? The one who killed your parents and brother was the Demon Lord?"

Hearing this, Leon, along with Cynthia and Ruth, were all taken aback by Shally's revelation.

Especially Leon, as it was he who had slain the Demon Lord back then!

However, to avoid exposing his true identity, the Dragon Corps of the Central region had credited the Southern region's Dragon Corps with the deed.

Now, he never imagined that the one who had caused the deaths of m Shally's parents and brother was the Demon Lord. And the hero she spoke of was none other than himself.

What a coincidence!

For a moment, even someone like him, who had experienced countless storms, was left bewildered by this coincidence.

"Yes, that's right. I hope I can meet Shally that hero so with ye her heart filled with gratitude and endless admiration for the hero who had slain the Demon Lord.

After all, the Demon Lord was the third-ranked Criminal, possessing profound skills and having reached the Advanced Almighty state.

If it were not for that hero, the Summers, with their limited power, could never have avenged her parents and brother, no matter how long they tried.

This showed just how grateful and respectful she was to the hero who had slain the Demon Lord!
