All Chapters of The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call: Chapter 1981 - Chapter 1990

The foreigner started to speak, but he felt cold air rushing toward him. His voice came out shaky. "No, no—what I mean is, this is the only ship going to Angladus for a while. Nothing else is scheduled after this, so we're desperate too. "If we can't get out of here, the Serpent Lord won't spare any of us." "Go tell him I'm taking it. If he has a problem with that, he knows where to find me," Feran said before turning away. "Now get out." The foreigner had no choice. He turned and left. Jorrell Caddle, the man in black robes, stepped into the room. "Sir, did the absorption not work?" Feran gave a slight nod. "The Dragonheart Pendant is no ordinary artifact. I think it has drakonic fortune within. Not only did I fail to absorb it, but the thing also drained some of my arcane power." "What?" Jorrell looked stunned. "Is the pendant that dangerous?" "It's not dangerous, just old." Feran looked up. "It's been around for ages. It would take some effort to absorb something so an

Shale's voice turned serious. He said to Aria, "Ms. Carver, if you need our help, we're at your service." Seeing their determination, Aria pulled Shale, Lumen, and Fisk aside. "Things in Portfall have been getting dangerous lately. I need you guys to stake out the harbor for me. Someone's planning to smuggle Farshya's artifacts overseas. "They're shipping everything out in three days. I'll bring backup to catch them in the act, but I need you to keep watch until then." "Alright, you can count on us." Shale waved confidently. "But how did you find out about the smuggling? We've been all over Portfall, and we haven't heard anything about this." "I can't tell you." Aria raised an eyebrow. "Some things are meant to stay secret. I'm trusting you three to keep those artifacts safe." Lumen nodded. "We'll handle it properly, Ms. Carver. If you can't talk about it, we won't ask anymore questions. We'll head to the harbor right now and start our watch." While Aria talked with them, J

Eleanor said to Aria, "I'll call you Ms. Carver then. I'm Eleanor Hollerith. Just call me Eleanor." "Sure." Aria nodded slightly. "I had someone make some medicine syrup for you. Let me grab it." She got up and walked outside. She noticed that Sam had prepared the syrup and was about to bring it over. He saw her and held out the cup. "Boss, all done!" Aria took it from him. "Nice work. You remembered everything I taught you." She started to turn back, then remembered something and looked at Landon. "Take Sam and scout around again. Her grandmother's important, so we need to find her." "On it." Landon stood up. "You handle things here. Sam and I will track her down." Aria nodded, then carried the syrup back into the room. "Eleanor, your medicine's ready. Sip it slowly—it helps calm your system and supports healing." Eleanor took the cup with both hands, still shaking slightly. She lifted it to her lips carefully, blew on it, and took a small sip. The medicine initially t

Landon followed Aria's gaze and saw something. "That's a bronze stallion from the Mashern Era." Aria gave a small nod. "And there are still traces of draconic fortune clinging to it." She could not believe there was an artifact from the Mashern Era here. After all this time, it carried more than just ancient history. It held the wisdom of people who'd lived centuries ago. "Drakonic fortune..." Landon's voice was soft. "Someone's supposed to pick these up here, then ship them all to Sylas. He'll drain the energy off these items and send them back." Aria looked away from the artifact. "Shall we catch them red-handed?" "Good idea." Landon sounded calm. "But honestly, they're just some small fry." Aria turned to face the leader. "How do you usually hand these things off?" "We don't hand them off." The leader's voice was heavy. "The boss tells us where to drop them. We just unload and leave." Aria's eyes darkened after hearing that. "Where do you drop them?" The man answer

"You!" Sam's eyes went wide. "That's so mean!" A smile played on Landon's lips. "So, are you going or not?" "Fine, whatever." Sam's shoulders drooped as he dragged himself inside. Once Sam was gone, Landon stood and walked outside. Talon had already shifted to human form and was standing nearby. When he saw Landon coming, he hurried over. "Sir." Landon looked at Talon. "Did you get them?" Talon reached into his pocket and pulled out some candies. "Here are the sweets you wanted." Landon took the candies and didn't bother hiding his smile. He knew Aria had a sweet tooth, but she hadn't had any candy since they got to Portfall. So he'd asked Talon to bring back her favorites. Landon felt the candies in his hands. "What'd you find out?" Talon's voice went serious. "Sir, I've been tracking down what you lost all those years ago. It might be connected to that sacred relic you mentioned." Landon kept his voice flat. "So you think the sacred relic's tied to me?" "Yeah.
