And the matriarch would know another thing—
She was aware of the curse's existence.
If she appeared as if she were not cursed, she would have passed the matriarch's test, but then she would immediately face coercion from the family head.
The family head would know another thing—
Abner was not dead.
Moreover, she would not hand over the items; he would have to kill her to obtain them.
What would follow next?
The family head would certainly kill her to acquire those things.
Now was the time to make her choice.
Would she pretend to be cursed to deceive the family head, seeking a temporary retreat to survive;
or refuse to hand over anything and face the family head in a direct battle?
If there were a battle—
She wouldn't need to think twice before choosing to fight.
However—
Wu Xiaode looked towards the Book of the Dead.
He saw his "End"—
Those two angels were still sleeping.
This time the situation was different from before.
