Chapter 577

Author: Marina Vittori
Hector was astonished at the thought. He turned his head and looked toward Dustin, finding him calm and collected. It appeared as if he were an outsider in the situation. However, that was exactly what made him indiscernible.

Upon deep reflection, Hector realized that the Harmons' situation had taken a turn for the better when Dustin started challenging Tyler. Was this young man in front of him really the person who turned the tide? It would be frightening if that were the case!

"Mr. Hector, I'm needed elsewhere, so I'll be taking my leave first." George left after saying his goodbyes. He didn't expose Dustin's identity as he was worried about making things complicated for him. Some things were better left untold.

"Guess there's no more fighting. I'll be leaving too." Paul gave Dustin a knowing look before leaving with his head held high.

"Mr. Hector, see you next time." Sir Moran shook his hand and left as well.

As the influential figures departed, the ballroom livened up even

    "Ms. Linsor, look out!" Sadie shouted.She had been watching Lauren's every move. The moment the iron chains binding Lauren snapped and scarlet mist poured from her body, Sadie immediately jumped in front of Grace to shield her.However, the mist was pervasive. It engulfed several people in the room within seconds before expanding outward in all directions at breakneck speed.The scarlet mist was laced with deadly poison. Wherever it touched, flowers wilted and the ground turned black, as if it were consuming everything in its path.Lauren laughed maniacally. "Every last one of you deserves to die. This world is steeped in corruption, and God has turned his back on us. Only our Skull Lord will outlast it all. "I shall cleanse your sins with his blood and offer your lives as a sacrifice. The Skull Covenant shall rise, and the Skull Lord shall reign eternally."Her crazed proclamations echoed through the swirling scarlet mist.As more mist poured out from her body, her figure b

    At Sadie's signal, two soldiers stepped forward to carry out her orders."W-Wait…" Lauren stammered.She quickly raised her hands and put on a placating smile. "Let's talk this through like civilized people. No need to get physical.""What? Now you want to talk?" Sadie scoffed. "Done with your pretense?""I was just messing around earlier. Don't take it personally. Ask me anything, and I'll tell you everything I know." Lauren immediately chose to give in."Don't even think about playing games with me," Sadie warned. "If you lie to me, I swear you'll regret it.""Relax. I won't lie," Lauren said with an ingratiating smile. "I'm as straight as an arrow."Sadie frowned slightly but didn't press further. Something about Lauren's behavior didn't sit right with her. One moment she was acting clueless, the next she was oddly cooperative. It was hard to tell what she was up to."Alright then. Tell me. Do you know Callan Banks?" Grace asked coolly."Do I know him? Of course, I do." Lau

    Grace's messengers quickly delivered the plague prevention prescription to Tristan, Matthias, and Nathaniel, though each reacted quite differently.Tristan was naturally overjoyed. He immediately consulted with Icarus and Lenora to review the prescription. When both praised its effectiveness, he put it into action without delay.His team began preparing the tonic and distributing it to patients. While it wasn't a complete cure, it helped alleviate the symptoms and kept conditions from worsening. In a race against time, even this level of relief was a tremendous help in his eyes.…Matthias, on the other hand, couldn't tell whether the prescription was genuine or not when he first received it. None of the people around him could make sense of it, either.Given the circumstances, he decided to give it a shot. To his surprise, the prescription proved remarkably effective. He quickly ordered it to be distributed across the city and arranged large-scale purchases of the necessary medic

    "Excellent work. Reedcrest managed to contain this outbreak so quickly thanks to everyone's dedicated efforts," Grace said after listening to Sadie's report.She felt the weight lift off her shoulders. The infected patients had been quarantined, and having additional skilled doctors to treat them took a huge burden off her plate.All that remained was to hunt down the remnants of Skull Covenant operatives, and their mission would be complete."It's all because of your excellent leadership, Your Highness. Anyone else wouldn't have been able to pull this off," Sadie replied with a smile."Let's not pat ourselves on the back just yet. There's still work to do," Grace replied, her tone shifting to business. "What's the update on Lauren, the woman I asked you to investigate?""We've finally got an update on that," Sadie reported. "Our investigation confirmed that Lauren did go to Harbortown and has been in close contact with several Nexology members there. I've already sent a team to m

    "Put the city on lockdown?" Neville was momentarily stunned, then quickly nodded. "I understand, Your Highness. I'll handle it right away."As a soldier, following orders was his sacred duty. Whatever command Matthias issued, he would carry it out without hesitation."Hold on."Just as Neville prepared to leave, Matthias stopped him.He said, "This outbreak is no ordinary crisis. All information must be completely contained, and we can't have any more leaks."If any officials in Thornwick refuse to cooperate or act like they're following orders while secretly disobeying them, they'll be removed from their positions immediately and investigated. Anyone who stirs up trouble will be thrown straight into prison.""Yes, Your Highness," Neville responded, then hurried off.With direct orders from Matthias, he could finally act without restraint. He'd long been fed up with Thornwick's officials—backstabbing their superiors, misleading their underlings, and playing everyone with phony p

    Tristan, Icarus, and Lenora left the mansion and hopped into the car. They soon arrived at a hospital that was under lockdown.It wasn't just the facility, but several surrounding streets had also been cordoned off, with soldiers standing guard, forcing all traffic to detour around the area.Access to the hospital required special clearance, and even Tristan wasn't exempt."Dr. Strum and Dr. Carmel, we've got many plague patients quarantined inside this facility. For your safety, I strongly recommend wearing these medical masks," Tristan said as they approached the checkpoint.He thoughtfully handed out the masks to Icarus and Lenora. In addition to wearing a mask himself, he'd also suited up in full protective gear. He was taking every possible precaution since he'd been frail and sickly since childhood. If he caught the plague, it would likely be the end of him.Icarus and Lenora accepted the medical masks without protest. They put on the masks and followed Tristan into the hosp
