Meanwhile, Morgana’s Boeing 777 had flown through the airspace of New Zealand and was on its way to Australia
for refueling. The near 1,000 kilometers per hour speed was still not fast enough for her, considering the recent
events surrounding her Master’s portrait in Aurous Hill. As a 400-year-old woman, she had lost her usual
composure.
As she checked the flight chart alone, Morgana couldn’t help but mutter in frustration, “The faster modern
technology develops, the more limited these aircraft seem. They can’t even fly 1,000 kilometers, and the range is
so restrictive!”
A crew member approached her respectfully, trying to calm her down. “Please calm down, my lord. Our voyage is
incredibly far, even a Concorde airliner would struggle to cover it. Its maximum range is only five or six thousand
kilometers. For example, flying from Buenos Aires to Melbourne, the Concorde would only get halfway before
needing to find a suitable place to land and refuel.”
Morgana waved him away, irritated with the limitations of supersonic aircraft. She then noticed her satellite phone
ringing with the name “Eddie George” displayed. Sitting up straight, she answered coldly, “Any news about the
Evans family?”
Eddie, her little uncle, hurriedly replied, “Reporting to the Fiona, I just got in touch with Tece.”
Morgana clenched her teeth, “They didn’t die!”
Eddie continued, “Tece told me that the person who saved them in Aurous Hill is the same as the one who rescued
them in New York!”
“What?!” Morgana exclaimed, “Can you trust this news?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEddie reassured her, “Tece says it should be reliable. Moreover, that person appeared right after Gideon did. If he
had been slightly late, Gideon would have killed all of the Evans family before
dying…”
Morgana’s mood darkened, and she knew she needed to find out who this person was immediately. She asked, “Did
you ask Tece if the person said anything to Gideon when he rescued them that day?”
Eddie hesitated, unsure how to deliver Cindy’s message without offending her. Morgana sensed his timidity and
assured him, “Answer truthfully, I won’t hold it against you even if it offends me.”
Eddie finally shared Cindy’s message, “He said…he said he would cut off your head with his own hands…”
“What did you say?!”
Morgana seethed with anger in that moment!
For four hundred years, she had turned a blind eye to almost everything. In the past three hundred years, nobody
had dared to utter such audacious words, threatening to behead themselves!
On the other end of the phone, Eddie trembled with fear upon hearing Morgana’s furious shout. He quickly bowed
and said, “Forgive me, my lord. I am merely repeating what the hidden master said, showing no disrespect to you,
my lord…”
Though Morgana knew that Eddie was just relaying the message, her fury still burned. Eddie feared that Morgana’s
anger would not subside, so he hurriedly spoke, “My Fiona, this subordinate is willing to share your burden. I will go
to Aurous Hill, and I will do the utmost to uncover the identity of that mysterious person for you.”
Morgana replied coldly, “If you go now, you’ll be walking into a trap.”
Eddie quickly responded, “My Fiona, Amelia is dead, and the chances of the Evans family doubting me are not very
high. Moreover, even if they suspect me, what can they do without solid evidence? After
all, I am the son-in-law of the Evans family, husband to Tece, and I’ve always been valued by Samuel Evans…”
Morgana sneered, “The Evans family is far more cunning than you imagine. Once Amelia is exposed, the Evans
family will never trust anyone with an unfamiliar surname. Even if you are Tece’s husband, it won’t make a
difference. I will never let you go easily.”
Eddie couldn’t help but say, “But Fiona… the current situation is too passive for us. If we don’t uncover the
mysterious master behind the Evans family, we will never have peace!”
Morgana coldly retorted, “Even Gideon can’t handle that mysterious master, let alone you finding any clues about
him. They might capture you and use torture to extract our secrets.”
Hesitating, Eddie said, “Master, I’m just voicing my concerns. Now I also find it hard to escape this situation. A
significant event has occurred in the Evans family, and if I don’t go to Aurous Hill, they will surely suspect me. How
will I pass that test?”
Morgana calmly replied, “Don’t worry. Since the Evans family already suspects you, passing their test is out of the
question. However, there’s one thing you can do. Tece’s daughter is now in your hands. Keep this trump card; it
may come in handy in the future. For now, don’t rush to antagonize the Evans family. Take care of your child in the
United States. The Evans family won’t leave Aurous Hill anytime soon, and they probably won’t willingly provoke
you. Let’s keep the peace for now, observing each other.”
Eddie respectfully said, “Your subordinate obeys your orders!”

At this moment,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter mastering the art of concealing his aura, Cindy drove to Zilian Villa to pick up Maria and head to the airport
together.
Upon arriving at Zilian Villa, Larry Cole, Keagan Myers, Marius, and an elderly woman who looked about 70 years
old were waiting respectfully outside the gate.
As Cindy’s car approached, the four hurried forward and stood respectfully outside the car door.
Cindy got out of the car, and the four of them simultaneously bowed, saying with respect, “Mr. Richard, greetings!”
“Just call me Bokir.”
He then looked at the elderly woman beside Larry Cole and asked curiously, “You must be Mrs. Cole, right?”
“I am Larry’s wife, Ethel Cole. Larry gave me the Rejuvenation Pill that you gave him last night. I wish to thank you
for this blessing!” Mrs. Cole was about to kneel as she finished speaking.
Cindy wanted to stop her, but Larry Cole stepped between them and said respectfully, “Mr. Richard, Miss said that
genuine gratitude brings blessings. If you don’t thank sincerely, you will lose the blessings…”
Cindy held back his words, and reluctantly let the elderly woman kneel to thank him.
After she stood up, Cindy asked, “By the way, is Miss Clark downstairs?”
Larry Cole replied, “Mr. Richard, Miss is in the courtyard. After you arrive, please go to her other courtyard.”
Cindy thought they would go to the airport directly, but if Maria wanted him to go up, he would do so without
objection.
Thus, he followed Larry Cole and the others, heading to the upper courtyard.
