"Are you Gilmore?"

Roger looked at the old man in front of him with a strange expression.

Is this guy crazy?

This idea subconsciously popped up in Roger's mind, but then, a flash of inspiration flashed.

"You said you were Gilmore, but where is the real Hunnam?"

"Hannam? He's in my body!"

"Sure enough!" Roger clenched his fists and looked at Henrik.

"It's a soul-changing technique!" Henrik seemed to have thought of something.

"A form of voodoo!"

"This is a strictly forbidden sorcery. Through complex rituals, the souls of both the caster and the caster can be exchanged, which can be regarded as eternal youth in a sense!"

"So strong? Wouldn't it be possible to live forever if there were unlimited switches?" Roger gasped.

"It's not that simple. Every soul exchange will cause irreversible damage to the soul. If it does not exceed three times, the soul that cannot bear it will completely collapse."

"Believe me, you don't want to know the terrible consequences of your soul breaking."

"Moreover, in terms of operation, the candidates for the soul change are also very demanding."

Henrik explained.

"But even so, it's terrifying."

"Adding my original lifespan and three transformations, wouldn't the guy who cast the spell live for nearly 300 years!"

Roger said, "If this method spreads, I believe there will be countless rich people who are willing to lose their families."

"No wealth is worth mentioning compared with a young body and a long life."

Henrik nodded, "In fact, some people have done this before, and more than once, but their end is extremely miserable."

"The Hunter Guild has a special operations team that specializes in dealing with similar incidents. Each of them is an elite hunter, and all of them are above the extraordinary realms!"

Henrik looked at the old man sitting on the bed, "Tell me, what's going on?"

After a period of buffering, the real Gilmore also calmed down.

"Please believe me, I'm innocent, I didn't kill anyone, Hannam did everything!"

"I am an equestrian coach. Before I was injured, I was a promising athlete. After retiring, I was named in the association and sometimes guided members. My life was pretty easy."

"Until one day, Hunnam found me." Gilmour fell into memories.

"He told me that his wife Edith liked to ride horses, so he wanted to hire me to go to his estate and become Edith's equestrian instructor."

"I have done a lot of similar jobs, so I agreed without any hesitation. The salary he offered was very high, and he even arranged for me a residence in Marsh Town."

"So I left Bordeaux and came here with him."

"Edith was a beautiful woman, but after a period of contact, I discovered that she doesn't seem to be interested in equestrianism. She seems to learn horseback riding just to cater to Hunnam's hobby."

"And……"

Gilmore hesitated.

"There doesn't seem to be harmony between them as a couple."

"Hehe."

Henrik sneered, "So you just gave the mistress a ride?"

"You are obviously not a good thing if you can do such a thing."

"No, that's not the case!"

Gilmore hurriedly explained.

"It was Edith who took the initiative, she seduced me on the initiative!"

Henrik stared at Gilmore, "Do you think we are idiots who would believe your nonsense?"

"The manor is that big. No matter how crazy Edith is, she will not give up her bright future driven by desire."

"According to the logic of normal people, Hannum is now over 60 years old. She only needs to wait another 20 years at most before she can inherit Hannum's inheritance. She was only 40 years old at that time."

"If it is properly maintained, it will definitely not lose to a 30-year-old woman. She is beautiful and rich. At that time, what kind of man could she not find?"

Henrik asked urgently.

"Normally, this is indeed the case, but Edith secretly told me that she had accidentally read the will left by Hunnam. If there is no heir, after Hannam's death, Edith can only get at most 10% of his property from him."

"So she desperately needs a child! Because of this she came to me..."

"So you took advantage of the situation and had a relationship with her?" Henrik said through gritted teeth, while Roger watched from the side.

But for some reason, he always felt that Henrik's tone was full of deep envy.

Gilmore didn't explain, "Three months later, Edith became pregnant. She was very happy, and then planned to secretly give me a sum of money to let me leave the manor."

"Knowing that Edith was pregnant, Hunnam took care of her in every possible way, but shortly before I planned to leave, Edith fell down the stairs by accident. She herself was fine, but the child was not kept."

"After this happened, Edith naturally couldn't carry out any sports, and I also handed in my resignation and planned to leave Hunnam Manor."

At this level, everything is still developing normally, but thinking of the tragedy that followed, Roger knows that something must have happened afterwards.

"I returned to Bordeaux and continued to guide the members. More than two months passed like this, until one day, Edith came to my door again!"

"Because she accidentally lost her child, she was not reconciled, so she hoped that I could help her again. During that time, Hunnam happened to leave the manor."

"She gave me a sum of money. In fact, I was a little scared, but for some reason, I couldn't refuse Edith's temptation, so I secretly ran back to Marsh Town and lived in seclusion."

"Then find every opportunity to have a tryst with her."

"Everything went very well and Edith got pregnant again shortly after. And I also lost the use value."

"Never has a woman brought me so much joy as Edith. For a while, I thought she was so crazy that I wanted to rush straight to the manor."

"But at this moment, I suddenly heard the news that Edith had another miscarriage, and it was still an accident."

"Two accidents in a row. This abnormal coincidence made me aware of something strange. I didn't dare to stay any longer. I packed my bags overnight and planned to leave Bordeaux."

"I can't resist her temptation. If so, then I will leave here and never come back."

A look of horror flashed across Gilmore's face.

"But not long after I went out, I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up again, I saw Hunnam sitting across the table!"

"He sat in the shadows, staring at me like a vulture."

"Then he took out the information about my affair with Edith. At that time, I suddenly realized a problem. Maybe Hunnam knew about us from the beginning. It's just out of love for Edith that he have been patient."

"But what Hannam said next, let me know what a real devil is!"
