Meanwhile, Aria showed up at the amusement park. After wandering around for ages, she finally spotted Sam and Betty's backs in the distance. She then headed over to them. When she was just a few steps away, Sam sniffed the air and suddenly spun around. "Boss, I could tell that you were heading over here." "Good job, Sam." Then she looked at Betty. "Betty, are you having fun?" Betty was all smiles. "Yeah! Sam took me on tons of rides, but we still haven't been on the Ferris wheel yet." Aria ruffled her hair. "Alright, it's still early. You can go on whatever rides you want." Betty grabbed Aria's hand. "Yay! Aria, do you want to ride the Ferris wheel with us? I heard the view from up there is amazing!" "Sure." Anyone would find it hard to say no to such an adorable little girl. The three of them headed over to the Ferris wheel. As their carriage on the Ferris wheel went up higher, the view spread out beneath them. Even in broad daylight, the sight was breathtaking. Bett

Kade wiped his tears. "All I want is to take Leopold down myself and get justice for Boyle!" Aria hesitated. "I get how you feel. But if he's really the deputy director of the Security Bureau, that's some serious power he's got. And Portfall's not like anywhere else in Farshya." Kade nodded. "I know. But I can't just let it go." Aria looked at him. "That doesn't mean we're out of options. We just need to find evidence that'll stick." Kade shook his head, looking defeated. "Ms. Carver, I've tried everything you're talking about. But this is Portfall. Even if I found evidence and handed it over, it'd probably land on his desk before anyone else saw it." Aria tapped her fingers on the table. "I'll look into this and see if I can help. For now, stay here at the hotel. I've already extended your reservation. If anything comes up, I'll let you know right away. "Also, you've already completed what my great-grandfather asked you to do. Take some time to rest. When you're ready, I'l

Aria ruffled his hair. "Why are you always looking to cause trouble?" Sam pouted. "It's boring when nothing's happening." Aria laughed and said, "Just be patient. When trouble comes looking for us, we'll deal with it then. Let's go back out." Outside the study, Sawyer listened to Kyle describe his company and sensed that something was amiss. "Kyle, what's this company called?" "Stellar Group," Kyle said without hesitation. Sawyer nodded and pulled out his phone to look up the company. It did exist in Portfall, but when he saw the registration date, his brow furrowed. "Kyle, this company's only been around for a few months. Don't you think something's not right here?" Kyle laughed. "Uncle Sawyer, you're overthinking it. They pay us on time every month and organize team activities on a weekly basis. "Actually, we've got another retreat coming up. Our boss figures we've done everything there is to do in Portfall, so he's taking us abroad. Our company's covering everything."

Right as Aria finished speaking, she jabbed the stick straight at Frederick. He flew back and crashed to the ground several feet away. Aria launched herself forward and landed beside him in a heartbeat. Frederick didn't even get a chance to fight back, and Aria already had her hand around his throat. The others saw it happen and stood frozen where they were. They were too scared to move. "Let him go! Our sect leader will hunt you down if he finds out!" "He's the sect leader's favorite elder. If you hurt him, our leader will never forgive this." Frederick finally understood how terrifying she was. His voice came out broken and ragged. "Who... Who are you?" "Take a guess." Aria's grip tightened on his throat, her voice cold and sharp. "Is this all the Embercross Sect amounts to? You're pathetic." Frederick struggled desperately, trying to get away. Aria spoke slowly, her eyes flat and emotionless. "I didn't care about your sect before. But the things you've done make me sick.

Right then, Clyton walked over. "The test results will take a bit longer. Have some fruit while you wait." "No problem." Aria smiled. "May I have your name, please?" "I'm Clyton Farman. Just call me Mr. Farman." Clyton continued, "If all three of you make it into the company, you'll be working under me." Aria nodded enthusiastically. "It would be an honor to work under you! Please take good care of us." Clyton waved it off. "Of course. Though you two might face some challenges since you're from out of state. Most people in Portfall don't take kindly to outsiders." Aria blinked innocently. "With you looking out for us, Mr. Farman, I'm sure we'll be fine." Clyton chuckled. "Haha! You're quite something." Just then, Clyton received their medical reports. He quickly forwarded them to Huck and got up, heading for the office. After Clyton left, Celeste turned to Aria. "If all three of us get in, we'll make so much money." Aria said with a smile, "Definitely. I can't believe
