Semua Bab The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call: Bab 1821 - Bab 1830

After Asher left, Feran entered his house. A cloaked figure was already waiting by the door. Noticing him, Feran gestured for the man to come inside. The cloaked figure entered and dropped to one knee. "Mr. Maynard, preparations for Operation Shadow are underway. Nothing will go wrong this time."Feran's kind demeanor faded, replaced by cold indifference. "You've made several moves, yet none have met my expectations. You should reflect on where the problem lies."The man quickly replied, "That woman from the Carver family always ruined our plans just when success was in reach. That's why we had to abandon them."Feran shot him a glance. "She's gone now, so nothing's holding you back. But don't forget how formidable Farshya's Special Missions Unit and Highest Operations Unit are. You are aware of that, right?"The man nodded. "They're strong, but we're no weaker. Once the timing is right, we'll plunge all of Farshya into chaos. We've also formed alliances with other nations to sup

The four of them fell silent after hearing Veric's question. It was a difficult one to answer.Veric, however, didn't seem to notice their hesitation. "What is it? Why aren't you saying anything? Don't feel burdened. We all know how dangerous Willowstead is. The fact that you made it back alive is impressive enough."Shandon was rendered speechless. It wasn't about being burdened. They were simply at a loss. Should they say that Chase had gone mad? Or that an apprentice from the Suncrest Sect had abandoned their teammates and betrayed them?Just as the four were gathering the courage to respond, Aria emerged from the teleportation manifestation.She had intended to meet Philip's mentor as soon as possible. Logically, once the Willowstead Manifestation was destroyed, he would lose his source of nourishment and worship. Desperate, he would need to find a new vessel to house his decaying soul.Of course, Aria didn't believe that Willowstead was his only source of power. He must've ha

Aria noticed Sylas pointing his spear at Landon. Without a word, she sprang into action, cutting him off and meeting his gaze firmly. "I am surprised at how invested the grandmasters of Suncrest Sect are in my private life. Mr. Strickland, here I am, thinking that you care only about the matters of the world, but you're actually participating in daily, mundane gossip."Aria's words effortlessly ticked off the arcane practitioners of Suncrest Sect. She wouldn't have been this bold and unapologetic normally, but she had to protect Landon this time. To be fair, it was difficult to explain how Landon became a grown-up overnight, and she didn't have a clue what identity he had in this life. If logic prevailed, he was probably some sort of high-ranking Shadowlord. That would explain why the evil beings shakily kneeled before him and wanted nothing but to get as far away from him as possible in Hollowground. Ever since they entered Willowstead, however, Aria had come to realize that

Master Healer lowered his voice and said, "I've begun the experiments. I'll see to it that no one can withstand the virus this time."Specter gave him a thumbs-up on the other side of the phone. "It's good that you think this way. Operation Shadow will officially commence the moment your work is completed.""Alright."Then, the call ended.As long as the plan had a strong start, the rest of it would go on without a hitch. Specter already could picture the crushing blow that awaited Farshya.At the same time, Hammer's operations team was preparing for the "accidents" on the other side of the city. With Farshya's map in his hand, he led his team as they tried to identify the areas with traffic peaks, unaware that the Special Missions Unit was watching their every move. Zane, the Special Missions Unit's captain, was hiding when he saw Hammer's team acting all nervous and jumpy. Taking his walkie-talkie out, he said, "Falcon, walk past them and see if they have a map in their hands.

The four arcane practitioners nodded repeatedly when Aria spoke, verifying the truthfulness of her words. Everyone in the other virtuous sects looked terrible, especially the elders and grandmasters. The deity's idol wasn't taken care of, and it actually appeared in the Conclave of the Arcane. No matter how they looked at it, it was a blow to their dignity. Also, it begged a question. Who was behind the deity's idol? How did it pass through Suncrest Sect's inspection that easily?The barrage of questions made everyone tense. Aria knew what was on their minds. The virtuous sects' ties were built on long-standing interests. Naturally, some of them trod the path of the arcane for the ordinary people, but some matters still revealed uneasy truths. For example, the elders who used to back Sylas without any questions were already looking his way. Aria didn't mind pressing further either. She took another step forward. "For years, the manifestation in Willowstead has been standing in
