Chapter 1421 Fragile Health

Author: Night Eleven
Landon greeted Waymond and Eamon with a polite smile.

Waymond glanced at Aria and teased, "Bringing him over so suddenly—are you getting him ready to meet the rest of the family in advance? Haha!"

Both brothers were genuinely happy for Aria. After all, she and Landon were a striking pair, perfectly matched in both looks and stature.

Just as Aria was about to respond, Landon interjected, "Apologies for the abrupt visit. I intended to come properly prepared, but it was so sudden that I didn't bring any gifts."

Before he could finish, Waymond waved him off. "Forget the gifts. It's enough that you're here. I'll have the chef prepare a few specialty dishes. Let's have a drink later."

Aria stepped in just in time. "Uncle Waymond, he's not in the best health. Let's skip the strong liquor."

She continued, "Besides, you two still have matters to settle later. How about keeping it simple this time? I mainly came to update you on the land acquisition."

Eamon, seated on the opposite side,

    Waymond and Eamon had to return to the office to handle pressing matters. The current situation was dangerous, with traps hidden everywhere. Though they suspected Aria was acquiring the land to divert Orion's attention, they didn't stop her—just gave a warning.Having caught wind of some rumors, the two brothers decided it was time to urge Aria to marry.As the dishes were served, they chuckled and began, "Landon, you and Aria have been engaged for a while now. What are your plans? Hasn't Mr. York Senior been urging you to move forward with the wedding?"Due to past misunderstandings between the Grisham and Carver families, Waymond and Eamon hadn't been able to look after Aria as much as they wanted. Now, they were eager to support her in formal matters.Landon understood their intentions and grinned. "I—"Before he could finish, Aria interrupted, "Uncle Waymond, Uncle Eamon, I know you're both anxious, but please don't be. I'm still young and want to focus on my business and ma

    Meanwhile, Cassy's thoughts had been in turmoil ever since she returned from the stock market. Among the retirees, she was known for having reliable tips—ones that usually led to substantial gains. Even when they didn't bring profits, they rarely caused losses.In the past, she had reserved such information for close friends and family. But this time was different. Aria had warned her against leaking the news, yet unease gnawed at her.Humans were driven by self-interest. In the end, Cassy decided to share the information with her maternal family, allowing them to profit alongside her.The moment she arrived home, she picked up the phone and called her sister-in-law.Her sister-in-law relayed the message to her husband. "Honey, your sister wants everyone to gather at our usual place. She has a tip.""A tip? What is it about?""Wake up! We need this money. Hurry up!"Within the hour, everyone had assembled.Cassy, ever composed, addressed them. "This is a major tip-off, far be

    Although the gold shop's sales assistants were surprised, they kept their thoughts to themselves. More purchases meant higher commissions, which directly impacted their salaries and KPIs.It was rare to see an entire family shopping for gold accessories at once. While couples often bought gold for weddings, they tended to be selective. Even high-ranking executives rarely encountered such an unusual sight. Yet, no one realized that this was only the beginning.Outside the shopping mall, Aria's flashy Lamborghini stood out. She had casually mentioned taking a stroll after lunch, but in reality, she had brought Landon to grab a milkshake and check on the situation.Everything seemed to be going smoothly. Aria expected gold prices to surge in three days.Landon glanced at the bustling gold shop and smirked. So, Aria wasn't as inexperienced in the stock market as she claimed.…At eight o'clock in a commercial building, Orion's assistant, Arlo, stood beside him and whispered, "Everyth

    Meanwhile, in the urban village, Thaddeus received word that the developer had officially submitted the application. Apollo, on the other hand, was gathering feedback from the villagers.According to the Land Planning Department's regulations, the village chief had to inform the villagers about the demolition process. Despite his influence, Thaddeus still needed to follow protocol.Without delay, he convened a meeting with key representatives and executives of the village. "You've all seen what's happening. A new investor wants to acquire land." He got straight to the point.One of the villagers scoffed. "Yeah, we saw her—some arrogant rich kid rolling up in a fancy sports car."Thaddeus took a slow sip of coffee. "At the end of the day, she's here to invest. It's a privilege that she's even interested in our village. We should show some respect to Mr. Jenson and not make things too difficult for her."That said, we're not handing everything over at once. Let's start by offering h

    Aria tried to act like someone who had just received enlightenment, so she immediately said, "Mr. Jenson, please don't worry. I didn't think this through enough. "I'll contact Fergus right away to gather the funds, then go to the Land Planning Department." Aria was actually taking her time as she poked at the ice cubes in her chocolate drink. Since coming to Ludwiten, she had fallen in love with iced chocolate, the unsweetened kind. It kept her from running low on energy at random times. On the other end of the phone, Apollo heard her words and finally released the Billionaire Vodka box on his desk. His anger subsided a little. "I'm glad you understand my intentions. Go ahead then. The land contracts are already prepared." He had made thorough preparations to make sure that once she fell into the trap, she could never escape. Aria smiled, a hint of mischief in her expression. "You're so efficient, Mr. Jenson. I'm looking forward to the upcoming development." Apollo thought

    After that, Aria left the Land Planning Department with the documents stamped with an official seal. Orion received this news while he was in a private room. As everyone was eating, drinking, and having fun, Arlo ran to Orion's side with a face full of joy. He whispered, "Mr. Draycott, Aria has signed the paperwork for that piece of land in Westridge."Orion immediately stood up. Holding his wine glass, he cackled loudly. "Great! This is excellent!"In the private room, the other members of the Chamber of Commerce were still chatting away happily. They became curious when they saw him act this way. "Mr. Draycott, what's the good news? Is there a hot stock we should know about?""Stocks would definitely be a guaranteed profit, but I bet it's something else!"Hearing this, Orion raised his glass with a beaming face. "I shouldn't brag. Arlo, tell everyone what happened."Arlo, who had brought the news, told everyone everything that had happened at the Land Planning Department today

    This incident also gave the Fitzroy family an excuse to visit the Grishams. And it was rare to see Magdalene speak with Eamon personally. "Eamon, I don't have anything against Aria, but investments always come with risks." Magdalene sighed deeply. "Spending 50 million dollars is a small matter. What's most important is how people in the investment circles view us. Whether it's the Grisham family or the Fitzroy family, we're all established businesses in Ludwiten. "Jett's following her around in these reckless ventures might raise questions about his abilities, which could cause problems with future funding." Magdalene's reasoning was sound. "I know family members should support each other, but Jett's position is different. He needs to consider more factors. The Fitzroy family business will eventually be handed over to Jett. "Starting today, Jett should stop getting involved. He should focus on his own ventures first." Eamon merely listened quietly. As he gripped his teacup ti

    "I can't do that," Aria said while glancing at Landon beside her, her eyes still calm. "Mr. Katz, I have my own reasons for some of my decisions. Just focus on running the factory. If anything happens, the Grisham family is still there for me." Isaiah couldn't understand her thinking, but since she put it that way, he didn't interfere further. He just let out a long sigh. After hanging up, he asked Clyde to transfer five million dollars to Aria. This time Aria did not reject Mr. Katz's goodwill. She sent him a text. "Mr. Katz, I've accepted the money. Consider it your investment stake." Isaiah did not want to invest at all. He just wanted to help Aria in case everyone else turned against her. After all, he knew better than anyone how the cannery had survived. While everyone outside was buzzing about the land deal, life at the Grisham residence continued as usual. Now, everyone working there had been replaced with their own people. Fiona was brewing tea. Her eyes were clear

    Aliya squinted at the unmasked man beside Aria. Now that his face was fully visible, something about him sparked a flicker of recognition. She lowered her gaze, trying to recall where she'd seen him before.Then a sharp gasp cut through the air."He's from the York family… Janovin's York family! Wait—was he Mr. Crow? Were they working together the whole time?"Even though they were all wealthy people, they weren't in the same ranks. No one dared to mess with the York family at all.If the circumstances were different, the arrogant, wealthy people from earlier would've tried to exchange contacts with Landon. That way, they could've partnered up in the future. However, with what had happened that day, those people were in a daze.Meanwhile, Aria knew those people still had no idea what was going on. So, she just removed her disguise and showed them who she really was.Aliya was stunned by what Aria had done. When she saw who the latter truly was, her gaze was filled with jealousy.

    The wealthy clients that were left behind at the auction had connections to powerful people, and Dave didn't think Aria was capable enough to deal with every one of them. Although Farshya was well-developed, it had always been a country that focused on connections.Power meant everything, and Dave wanted to see how Aria and her team would deal with his guests. If he remembered correctly, Aliya was the daughter of a great leader in the state. She wanted a womb from a young lady because she wanted to have children.Before the clients got what they wanted, Aria had offended a lot of big shots. Dave thought about it for a second and hoped Aria would suffer as much as he did.Dave was right about one thing. Aliya wasn't anxious at all when someone infiltrated the auction and took control of the event. She was only stunned for a moment at first. Once everything had settled down, she calmed down and even looked a little proud."I suggest you talk to your leader first before deciding to cu

    Dave had escaped, but just barely.He'd saved his life, nothing more. The documents he needed to destroy were still intact. Everything had gone completely off script.Every exit had been sealed. If he hadn't killed a villager and disguised himself with a spell, he would've died at the auction. He didn't receive any news about the ambush and was caught entirely off guard.He wasn't in Janovin, and security was that tight there. With his connections, he could've found out what was going to happen in advance. However, that wasn't the case at all.Slipping into a grimy back alley, Dave cursed his luck. Most of his men had been rounded up in the village. He could only hope a few had managed to slip through. But with sirens wailing in the distance, he knew hope was thin."Who the hell was that?" he muttered, wiping dirt off his face with a shaking hand. Normally a stickler for cleanliness, Dave was too rattled to care. "And where's the real Eden?"His mind snapped into action. The scho

    Landon's sudden appearance wasn't just a coincidence. With Aria's intelligence, she would figure something out soon—he knew that. He hadn't planned on revealing himself like this. But something that belonged to him was here, and the demonic energy in this place… Aria couldn't face it alone.She studied him from head to toe, her hand still in his. His grip was firm, protective."There's a lot of mist ahead," he said quietly. "We'll need to tread carefully."Aria tilted her head. "You speak like you know this place well.""I do," Landon replied with a calm honesty. "I was deathly ill once. My soul wandered into a place just like this. Homer pulled me back."His voice made it sound like a distant memory, and Aria gave a soft laugh, tightening her hold on his hand. "You really are full of surprises. I guess it's true—handsome men are the most dangerous."But Aria's thoughts were racing. Why had he come after her like this, knowing it would reveal parts of himself he'd tried to keep h

    Landon was still handling the stragglers behind Aria when he paused, his gaze flicking upward. Cameras were mounted in every corner—too many eyes. Vanishing without a trace wasn't an option.He glanced in Aria's direction, then lowered his head. His lips moved in a whisper, but the sounds were incomprehensible—something rhythmic, otherworldly. It was less like a speech and more like a chant—an exorcism.Meanwhile, Dave descended into the underground, calm and unrushed. That place reeked of foul energy, dense and suffocating. His master had cast a spell over it—one designed to kill anyone who dared to enter, no matter their strength. Dave wasn't afraid. He had more pressing priorities—destroying documents, erasing traces, minimizing damage.His bodyguard stayed close, watching for anyone who might try to stop them.Aria, moving swiftly, reached the lower floor—only to halt. Mist curled along the ground, thickening with every step. The air turned icy. And the corridor behind her…

    "Why would there be people outside?" asked Dave. He had been disguising himself as a doctor for years, and that was the first time he looked so anxious. After all, if someone did approach their building, the villagers would have informed them about it. However, they received no news this time.Dave wondered what was going on."Dr. Dave, what should we do now? I think we're surrounded!"He was still in his coat as he slightly clenched his fists. "Let's move out. Bring the girls in the basement with us.""T-They're not in the basement."When Dave heard that, he looked furious. "What do you mean they're not in the basement?""Someone took them away, and I'm guessing it was her fault!" The bodyguard pointed at Aria, who was standing on the highest point, showing off her skills. With swift, lethal kicks and a taser turned weapon, no one dared get close.Whoever touched Aria would die, and no one dared to approach her at all.As for Landon, he still had his mask on as he stood behind

    Chaos erupted at the auction. For all their pride and arrogance, the wealthy clients' expressions had twisted into pure panic the moment something went wrong.So, their first reaction was to seek a staff member."The power's unstable!" Dave spoke into the microphone, trying to project calm. "Everyone, stay calm. There's scheduled maintenance in town—it's just affecting the electricity. Nothing's wrong."He genuinely believed that. It was what he'd been told.But Aria knew better. The blackout wasn't random. It was a signal. Sam had tracked down the source of the call. With the exits sealed off, Aria had everything she needed to act.A faint smirk curled on her lips. Without hesitation, she grabbed Landon and swiftly took Aliya hostage. Her movements were sharp, practiced, so fast that no one around her even had time to react.Then came the needles.Aria flicked her wrist, sending a series of acupuncture needles flying. The rich guests closest to her froze in place, locked in stu

    Tony's accusation stirred a ripple through the room, and it didn't escape Dave's attention. With a subtle flick of his wrist, he signaled to someone nearby.Aria caught the movement. Her fingers tensed, ready to slip free of the rope she had already loosened. But before she could act, she heard a smooth, composed voice glide through the air."I need her to boost my luck," the man said coolly. "I've done my research. She's the ideal bride for someone like me."Dave stopped in his tracks, and it seemed like he was telling someone else to verify what Landon had said."Sir, it checks out," one of the staff murmured after a brief consultation. "Mr. Crow's fate is complicated. The master said only a spiritual match could extend his life. Otherwise, he won't make it past his next birthday."Dave let out a low chuckle, visibly relaxing. "Well then, Mr. Crow, it seems you've come to the right place. Please—carry on, everyone."Aria listened in stunned silence. Landon hadn't lied. His life

    Aria couldn't tear her eyes away from Dave.He was still quietly speaking to the man on the screen, their exchange shrouded in secrecy. No one nearby could hear what they were saying—but Aria could guess. It had to be a deal of some sort, something about her. Everything about Dave's posture, the glint in his eyes, told her this wasn't just business. It was personal.She glanced up at the clock again, nerves coiling in her chest. Something was wrong. Sam was taking longer than usual. That wasn't like him.The auction was nearing its close. They couldn't miss the chance to strike. Sasha, glowing with excitement, clapped her hands and declared, "Six million! It looks like no one else is bidding—congratulations to our newest member, Mr. Tiger—""Ten million dollars."The voice sliced clean through the noise, calm, clear, and cold.Everyone turned toward it.A man stood at the edge of the crowd, dressed in a sleek tuxedo dusted with black feathers, his mask intricate and dark.T
