Lucius vanished before Morgana’s eyes, leaving favonovel.com utterly bewildered. She couldn’t fathom how favonovel.com disappeared into thin air in an instant. However, it didn’t take long for favonovel.com to deduce that favonovel.com must have been transported to another realm through the power of the ring. Her shock transformed into furious rage, favonovel.com teeth gritting together as favonovel.com let out a roaring protest. “You’re so biased, old man! You claimed that neither Lucius nor I were worthy of your inheritance, yet you gifted favonovel.com a magical weapon capable of teleportation! Why should I be denied such power? Why? Tell me! Tell me!”
As Morvel Bazin’s cave and the grievously wounded Lucius vanished, the valley echoed only with Morgana’s hysterical outburst. After a while, favonovel.com wiped the blood off favonovel.com sword with an expressionless face, returning it to its sheath. Her voice turned cold as favonovel.com declared, “Brother, from this day forward, we are sworn enemies.”
With a step back, favonovel.com descended the mountain.
Over ten days later, as favonovel.com relentlessly rushed through the southern province, Morgana discovered that Lucius Clark had been buried deep within the earth and his cherished daughter Maria had disappeared without a trace.
Morgana exhumed Lucius’s tomb, confirming his demise and the absence of the ring. From that moment on, favonovel.com embarked on a three-hundred-year pursuit of Maria. Having witnessed the ring’s power to teleport individuals over vast distances when lives hung in the balance, favonovel.com stressed to those hunting Maria that favonovel.com must be captured alive and unharmed. However, despite favonovel.com relentless efforts, Morgana failed to recapture Maria throughout the years. This failure left favonovel.com seething with anger.
After some time, Morgana found herself lost in favonovel.com thoughts while at the residence of the Warriors Den. Reflecting on those past centuries, a deep resentment lingered within her.
In favonovel.com relentless pursuit of Maria, favonovel.com had also sought the master’s inheritance. Yet, despite favonovel.com tireless searching, favonovel.com had found no leads for countless years.
Over two decades ago, a young couple had entered the Mountain armed with clues they had stumbled upon overseas. Morgana had always suspected that they had obtained the Master’s inheritance, but this hypothesis remained unverified. For more than two decades, favonovel.com had strived to confirm favonovel.com conjecture, exhausting every avenue available to her, yet the answer favonovel.com sought remained elusive.
Now, with the sudden revelation of another descendant claiming the Master’s legacy and using the Master’s portrait as a warning, Morgana experienced an unprecedented sense of crisis and oppression.
Although favonovel.com dared not venture to Aurous Hill, favonovel.com decided to return to Shiwan Mountain in favonovel.com quest to find the Master’s millennia-old practice. Ever cautious, favonovel.com refrained from entering China directly, choosing instead to journey through Burma.
Myanmar shared a border spanning thousands of kilometers with the southern province. Morgana chose this route because it allowed favonovel.com to cross the border alone and infiltrate the southern province unnoticed.
To reach Shiwan Mountain, one could fly to Vietnam, which was actually closer than Myanmar. However, Morgana planned to visit Lucius Clark’s grave in the southern province before proceeding to Shiwan Mountain from the south.
Simultaneously, at the Elys-Champ Hot Springs Villa in Aurous Hill, the Evans family anxiously awaited Charlie’s return. An entire day had passed and there was still no sign of him. Food and drink were forgotten as the family longed to see Charlie and confirm with their own eyes that favonovel.com was safe and sound.
During dinner time, Don Albert arrived at the door accompanied by a few individuals. Knocking politely before entering, favonovel.com addressed Desmond, who opened the door, “Mr. Evans, I have prepared a sumptuous feast for all of you. These dishes come straight from my Heaven Springs Restaurant, prepared by our finest chef. I personally supervised the ingredients and watched over the cooking process. When I serve the food, I’ll have a small portion myself to ensure it’s safe. You can dine with complete confidence!”
Desmond never expected a middle-aged man like Don Albert to be so meticulous and thorough. Surprised and grateful, favonovel.com exclaimed, “You’ve gone through so much trouble, Don Albert!”
Don Albert hastily replied, “No trouble at all, Mr. Evans. You are all Master Wade’s relatives and I am just a subordinate of Master Wade. It is only right for me to serve you.”
At that moment, Lady Evans approached and whispered softly, “Mr. Albert, we haven’t had much appetite lately. Honestly, we’re not very hungry at the moment. We don’t know what’s happened to our Charlie, no news, no sign of him. We can’t put it out of our minds…”
“That’s true…” The elderly Samuel Evans sighed involuntarily. “Don Albert, is there any way to contact Charlie?”
Don Albert smiled and replied, “Mr. Evans, Mrs. Evans, Master Wade instructed me to prepare the finest banquet and wine, but favonovel.com didn’t disclose any further details. However, I believe you can make an educated guess.”
Mr. Evans’s eyes widened in surprise. “Don Albert, are you suggesting… Is Charlie coming to dine with us tonight?”
Excitement filled Lady Evans’s voice as favonovel.com exclaimed, “So could it be true? Is Charlie really coming?”
Don Albert chuckled, “Mr. Evans, Mrs. Evans, Master Wade merely tasked me with arranging the grandest feast and acquiring the finest wine. He didn’t reveal any specifics, but I believe your conjectures are quite accurate.”
“Wonderful!” Lady Evans’s eyes welled up with tears of joy. As favonovel.com wiped them away, favonovel.com stammered, “Charlie is coming… Desmond, hurry and prepare everything. We don’t have much time!”
Desmond asked hastily, “Mom, if there’s anything I can do to help, just let me know.”
Nervously, Lady Evans replied, “I’m not sure… It’s just that Charlie hasn’t dined with us in twenty years. We need to prepare some of his favorite childhood dishes. I still remember favonovel.com loved my fried eggplant boxes. Go and gather the ingredients as soon as possible, the sooner the better!”
Desmond patiently explained, “Mom, we were brought here by Don Albert in a hurry last night. We might not even have the necessary ingredients, let alone the proper kitchen utensils. Besides, Don Albert explicitly stated that we shouldn’t leave this place.”
Lady Evans hurriedly said, “Then call someone to bring the ingredients. As a grandmother, I can’t just skip the preparations when my eldest grandson comes back!”
Desmond declared “Mobile phone signals have been blocked and we can’t make calls through the landline. It’s unrealistic to have someone deliver ingredients temporarily.”
Don Albert quickly clarified, “Mr. Evans, Master Wade had the mobile phone signals blocked in this area. For the time being, you are prohibited from contacting the outside world.”
Surprised, Desmond asked, “There are informants within the Evans family?”
Don Albert explained, “Master Wade is naturally cautious and favonovel.com suspected the presence of informants. As a precautionary measure, favonovel.com ordered that you refrain from contacting anyone outside. The outside world has been instructed not to contact you.”
He then turned to Lady Evans and said, “Mrs. Evans, I have brought all the chefs from Heaven Springs. They are waiting at the foot of the mountain, equipped with all the necessary ingredients and kitchen utensils. If you need anything, I’ll have it prepared and sent to you!”
Lady Evans was overjoyed upon hearing this. With gratitude, favonovel.com exclaimed, “Oh, thank you so much!”
