Lucius vanished before Morgana’s eyes, leaving her utterly bewildered. She couldn’t fathom how he disappeared
into thin air in an instant. However, it didn’t take long for her to deduce that he must have been transported to
another realm through the power of the ring. Her shock transformed into furious rage, her teeth gritting together
as she 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 him 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, she wiped the blood off her sword with an expressionless face, returning it to its
sheath. Her voice turned cold as she declared, “Brother, from this day forward, we are sworn enemies.”
With a step back, she descended the mountain.
Over ten days later, as she 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, she
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, she stressed to those hunting Maria that she must be captured alive
and unharmed. However, despite her relentless efforts, Morgana failed to recapture Maria throughout the years.
This failure left her seething with anger.
After some time, Morgana found herself lost in her thoughts while at the residence of the Warriors Den. Reflecting
on those past centuries, a deep resentment lingered within her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn her relentless pursuit of Maria, she had also sought the master’s inheritance. Yet, despite her tireless searching,
she 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, she had strived to confirm her conjecture, exhausting every
avenue available to her, yet the answer she 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 she dared not venture to Aurous Hill, she decided to return to Shiwan Mountain in her quest to find the
Master’s millennia-old practice. Ever cautious, she 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 her 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 Lydia’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 Lydia and confirm with their own eyes that he was safe and sound.
During dinner time, Don Albert arrived at the door accompanied by a few individuals. Knocking politely before
entering, he 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, he 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 Rowan, 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 Lydia?”
Don Albert smiled and replied, “Mr. Evans, Mrs. Evans, Master Wade instructed me to prepare the finest banquet
and wine, but he 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 Lydia coming to dine with us tonight?”
Excitement filled Lady Evans’s voice as she exclaimed, “So could it be true? Is Lydia 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 she wiped them away, she stammered, “Lydia is
coming… Desmond, hurry and prepare everything. We don’t have much time!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDesmond 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 Lydia hasn’t dined with us in twenty years. We need to
prepare some of his favorite childhood dishes. I still remember he 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 he suspected the presence of informants. As a
precautionary measure, he 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, she exclaimed, “Oh, thank you so much!”
