All Chapters of The Most Wanted Man in Hrestia: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Beatrice pushed a bowl of soup into Dante's hands. "Danny, you're not recovered yet. Listen to us, okay? We just want you to be alright."He downed it in a few gulps and protested, "But I feel fine. Really. I can't stand it if I don't get to train, you know!"Gwendolyn folded her arms. "Don't even think about it, Danny. Did you know you—"Beatrice caught her wrist and cut her off. Turning back to Dante, she said firmly, "Enough. Listen to us."She dragged him back toward the bed. "One more week. You don't want to see me angry, do you?"Dante sighed in defeat.…That week turned into the most painful one of his life. He had grown used to daily training, but now? All he could do was eat, sleep, relieve himself, and stare at the ceiling. Rinse and repeat. Sometimes, chess with Marcus broke the monotony, but Marcus had a way of crushing him far too often."How much longer do I have to live like this?" Dante groaned as he lay on the grass, his hands tucked behind his head.Beatrice

Marcus felt a wave of disbelief. "Fiona was abducted and killed?"Of course, he knew who she was. The world knew who she was. At 21, Fiona Hill had already become one of the most A-listed international movie stars. She also wielded extraordinary power—her mastery of the Seven Mystical Arts surpassed even Gwendolyn's."She looks like she could be dead already, judging by the video," Gwendolyn said. "She's too famous, so news of her death was censored and scrubbed from the Internet. But a few days ago, someone leaked it. The police discovered she's in Audraco.""Then why did you think she was dead?" Marcus asked.Gwendolyn bit her lip, her limbs chilling. "The police… found her in a sealed casket. Then an unknown group appeared and snatched it away. Fiona's body vanished.""I can't believe this is happening," Marcus said gravely.Fiona had been targeted by an unknown organization, and now she was in Audraco."Gwen, return to your room immediately," Marcus commanded. "I have a feel

The man wore a tattered robe. His facial features defied description. Noticing Mateo staring at him, he turned and grinned.It was like staring at the Devil itself.Mateo staggered backward and nearly slipped. 'Who is this? What happened? How did all my bodyguards die without a sound? Is he a demon? From… that place?'Mateo finally broke the silence. "S-Sir, are you here for the Seven Mystical Arts?"Receiving no answer, he introduced himself, "I'm one of the Jaegers. My name is—"He stopped. A young man was approaching them."Finally! You're here!" Mateo cried with excitement before turning to the mysterious figure. "We may have only met once, but if you're here for the Seven Mystical Arts, then we share the same goal. This brat is the weakest link. Capture him, and every Lady who has learned the art will come to us!""Where is Fiona?!" Dante snarled, advancing toward Mateo."What, you think you can save her?" Mateo sneered. "I heard you're too useless to master any of the art

Dante kept silent about the mysterious man.Beatrice did not seem angry. She looked more astonished that her usually carefree, grinning Danny could show such cruelty.Suddenly, an old man stormed in, shouting, "Who did this to my son?!"Gwendolyn tensed. She knew exactly who he was.A balding man rushed to George's side. Seeing him crippled and nearly lobotomized fueled his rage."You did this, didn't you?!" he yelled, pointing at Dante. "You cruel, cruel son of a bitch. You hurt my grandson, and now you've done this to my son! You will pay!"Gwendolyn stepped in, silencing Dante. The Ladies would never let him face this alone."My junior acted because your son colluded with terrorists to abduct my senior, Fiona. He did it in self-defense," Gwendolyn explained. "Your son brought this on himself."The old man narrowed his eyes. "Do you have proof?"Gwendolyn froze and glanced at Dante. This question had caught her off guard. This man had to know Dante had killed a dozen people

Caspar added, "He wouldn't necessarily have won if we had just pressed on!"The Wagners could not hope to match the Beaumonts in wealth or status. But that fight in the hospital? They could have won. They might have won!"You think I was worried about them, Caspar? No.""Then… who?""The goddamned Epione Collegia. I'm afraid of them!" John said, clenching his fists. "You've been living in the woods with me for a long time. You don't know anything about them because of that, do you?"He pressed on before Caspar could answer, "If I'm not mistaken, that woman's the founder of the Epione Collegia. We can't defeat her. We can't kill that bastard and leave the hospital in peace.""Are they… that powerful?!" Caspar asked, alert."Powerful? No, worse. They are terrifying."John had seen much in his life. Few things unsettled him, but this? The Epione Collegia commanded the backing of every powerful family in Hrestia and beyond.Beatrice could issue one word, and the Merchants' Associa
