Semua Bab The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call: Bab 2011 - Bab 2020

"Interesting." Warner smiled bitterly. "Everything I did was for Portfall, unlike certain people who only think about themselves." He stared right at Ulric while saying this. Ulric looked back at him. "Are you talking about me?" "Who else would I mean?" Warner let out a cold laugh. "You've done plenty yourself, but nobody touches you because you're the governor." Ulric spoke quietly. "Warner, why don't you tell everyone what I've done then? If you can name one thing I did wrong, I'll resign right now." He had actually admired Warner for how smart and ambitious he was. He'd even planned to hand over the position when he retired. But Warner had gotten too impatient. "Really? Alright then." Warner perked up. "A few years back, I walked past a cafe and saw you with the attorney general. At the end, he handed you a bank card, and you accepted it like it was nothing. What would you call that?"Ulric gave a slight nod. "That did happen, yes. But you only saw what it looked like.

Aria looked over at Sam. "It's fine. Let them run. It's actually a good thing that one of them got away to report back. Now Sylas will know someone's looking for him." Sam nodded. He'd just dropped two people on the ground when he saw black blood flowing from their mouths too. They had already stopped breathing. "Wait..." Sam scratched his head. "I didn't hit them that hard. How are they dead?" Aria studied them. "They had poison hidden in their teeth. When they knew they couldn't win, they bit down, and the poison killed them." Landon walked over. "Some people from this town died from losing their life essence, but others were fine. We still need to figure that out." "They probably need something as a medium to do this... And it's usually some kind of arcane implement." Aria looked at the black beads on the dead man's wrist. "Maybe it's these beads, combined with drugs to control the victims." Aria walked straight into the hospital. She figured that the secrets had to be h

Tegan said to Landon, "Yeah, I've gone to the beauty salon before to get Ms. Cragmire back." Landon stayed quiet and looked at Aria. Taking the hint, Aria turned to Tegan. "Could you go get Jillian? Tell her there's something at the restaurant that needs her attention." Tegan nodded. "I'll go get her." He headed toward the salon entrance. Landon looked at Aria. "We're in Portfall, so there are things we shouldn't get directly involved in. Besides, we don't even know if the salon owner is really Priscilla." Aria nodded slightly. "I got a bit worked up just now. Good thing you stopped me."Tegan had already arrived at the salon's entrance. When he knocked, Felicity came to the door. "What is it?" "I'm looking for Ms. Cragmire." Tegan stood at the door. "Something came up, and we need her back in the restaurant." Felicity smiled. "She's in the middle of a treatment. It'll take another half hour, and we can't interrupt her. If it's urgent, you should handle it yourself. I'll

Jillian's eyes went wide. She said to Wanda, "So you've been planning this from the start!" "Exactly." Wanda didn't even try to deny it. "Do you want to know why my skin looks this good?" She ran her fingers along her own flawless cheek. "The secret to eternal youth was discovered ages ago by the ancients—virgin blood." "You're out of your mind! That's just superstition, so none of that is real!" Jillian fought against the straps holding her arms and legs. "Superstition?" Wanda let out a cold laugh and pointed to the device on the wall. "See that? It's a blood purification system I improved from ancient texts. Regular transfusions only slow aging, but I found something interesting. "Blood drawn during certain emotional states contains special enzymes. And when I combine it with my formula, the results are incredible." Jillian started shaking. "Those young women who went missing in Portfall..." Wanda's face turned cold. "That's right. They were sacrifices, and they shoul

Aria looked up. "But the choice is yours. If you want to stay in Portfall, I'll have Mr. Gallagher Senior make arrangements. If you want to go back to your hometowns to visit, I'll arrange transport for you too." She knew everyone here was reluctant to leave this place. They'd spent the first half of their lives working for the Chamber. As for the second half, Aria hoped they could go home and rest properly. Sawyer took a deep breath. "I'll listen to Ms. Carver. I'll go back home and get some proper rest." Rollo and the others exchanged glances, then said together, "We'll also listen to Ms. Carver, but—" Rollo looked at Curtis. "You have to take good care of the Chamber. Don't let it fall into someone else's hands again." Curtis' expression turned serious. "Not unless I'm dead. And Clarence is growing up well. We won't let you down." Clarence stood up beside him. "Gentlemen, I'll take good care of the Chamber. Please don't worry." Aria glanced at Clarence. "Study hard und
