Chapter 75 A Slap to Karen's Face

Author: Night Eleven
Karen shot to her feet, her voice laced with panic. "What happened to you, Lily? Why are you out here alone? Where's Dr. Gunther?"

Lily grabbed her arm and said in a low voice, "We'll discuss this after we get back home, Mom."

Karen wasn't that dumb; she realized that something serious had happened. She said to the wealthy ladies, "She's anemic again, so I must take her home quickly."

The wealthy ladies exchanged skeptical glances. Anemia? Or was Lily perhaps one of the unfortunate ones who hadn't made the cut?

Sensing their doubt, Lily crumpled dramatically into Karen's arms. "Mom, I can't breathe!" she gasped. "But don't worry, I didn't embarrass you. The consultation is over anyway."

There was no way the consultation could continue after such a scene. Lily, ever the quick thinker, had effectively shut the crowd down.

Less than five minutes later, the doors to the inner hall swung open, and a procession of doctors emerged. Only then did the wealthy ladies lose interest in Karen

    Right after Landon answered Aria, Sawyer strolled over to where they sat. "Ms. Carver, do you have a place to stay in Portfall? If you don't, you're welcome to stay at my place. I've got a few spare rooms that are just sitting empty." "Mr. Pratt, you don't need to worry about where I'll be staying. And please don't call me Ms. Carver. Just call me Aria." Aria paused for a moment before continuing. "Please, take a seat. He's one of us, so there's no need to worry about him." Sawyer nodded and settled into the seat on her other side. "Alright then, I've made a decision about something important. I'm going to transfer the Pratt Group over to you." When Aria heard this, she froze. "That won't be necessary. You should just keep managing it the way you have been. I came to Portfall to find the old members of the Chamber of Commerce, but I'm not here to take away the things they've built. "I just wanted to check in and make sure everyone was doing alright." However, Sawyer shook h

    Landon arched his eyebrow with amusement. He said, "You've always been an amazing woman. No matter how complicated things get, you'll always find a way out." Aria's voice carried a hint of laughter. "That's only because you're always by my side." She turned to Sam. "Sam, come here." Sam heard Aria calling and bounced over eagerly. The moment he sat down, Aria said softly, "Sam, we can't have fried chicken and burgers tomorrow anymore." Sam's head whipped around. "Huh? Why not?" Aria's brows drew together. "Because I need you to handle something." Sam shook his head hard. "No way! I want to stay with you, Boss!" Aria held his face and asked, "Are you not going to follow my orders anymore?" Sam stuck out his bottom lip. "You finally found me, yet now you're leaving me again. I don't care. I won't do it." Aria leaned in closer, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear. "Sam, Mr. Pratt is one of our people. I need you to protect him and make sure nothing happen

    The man's voice carried across the room, so all the guests turned to look at the entrance. It was actually Sawyer who had rushed over to the banquet, with Sam and Piper standing behind him. Kelsier heard him and strode over. "I'm glad you made it. The banquet just started, and we've got food and drinks ready. Please take your seats." Sawyer smiled and said, "Thanks, Mr. Keating." Aria and Landon also looked toward the sound of the voice. She initially thought it was just another late guest, but when Aria glanced past the first man, she spotted a young boy wearing a suit. Aria's eyes widened with joy. "It's Sam." Hearing Aria's words, Landon followed her gaze and looked behind Sawyer. "You're right. I'd never expect him to be here." Aria was about to get up and head toward Sam, but Landon grabbed her arm. "There are too many people here. Stay put. I'll handle it." They hadn't found any trace of Sam on the dark web forum or through any other channels, so running into him he

    The Dawnscale sect leaders stood at the side when Aria made a promise to the griefwraiths. The three of them had already witnessed Aria summoning Blanc and Noir before, so they did not seem surprised at all. The spirits' eyes lit up with newfound hope when they heard her promise. There was no need for Blanc and Noir to show up for this kind of situation. She only had to call up a couple of Phantom Patrols who could escort these spirits to their reincarnation. Aria's lips barely parted as she spoke the summoning words. Within seconds, a thick wall of fog rolled in from the distance. Two shadowy figures emerged from the fog, each one gripping a soulbreaker rod in their hands. These weapons were specifically designed for dealing with spirits who decided to resist. Any regular arcane priest would have needed to set up an altar, perform complex rituals, prepare expensive offerings, and be respectful when summoning the Phantom Patrols. But Aria hadn't done any of that prep work. Sh

    Though the three leaders of Dawnscale Sect had called Tristan out, he didn't see it that way. "With all these vengeful spirits here, am I supposed to just watch them hurt everyone?" One of the Dawnscale sect leaders stroked his beard as he answered Tristan. "They're getting revenge, not hurting innocent people. Tristan, don't try to change the subject on us. Since when do we arcane practitioners turn a blind eye to injustice? "You, on the other hand, are just full of excuses. If someone did something unfair to you, would you wait until your next life to get even? Today, Quinlan has to pay for everything he did to get rid of all the vengefulness here." Tristan frowned as he tried to argue. "They're griefwraiths—" "Griefwraiths?" The sect leader looked him up and down. "Have you ever thought about who turned them into griefwraiths then? Quinlan's the one who suppressed them by force and even used their souls to fuel his own arcane powers. "I wonder if all your disciples from Em

    The crowd murmured. "Is that her?" "How can it be her?" "This woman went viral online for a while. She was a reporter who specialized in covering stories no one else dared to touch. Then she just vanished for some unknown reason." Aria remained perfectly calm as she studied the female spirit before her. The woman looked somewhat familiar, so Aria thought she had probably seen her videos online before. Angela Hellman's eyes locked onto Quinlan with burning hatred, as if they were mortal enemies. Quinlan's face paled a little when he saw Angela materialize. He remembered her. She'd happened to witness him doing certain things and had taken photos. In his rage, he'd killed her. Angela's voice was heavy with accusation. "Mr. Iverson, you haven't forgotten me and the things you did, have you?" Quinlan forced himself to appear calm as he said, "Why should I know you? You're nothing but a wandering spirit." Angela threw her head back and laughed bitterly. "A wandering spirit?
