Chapter 1017 Barron

Author: Night Eleven
Aria got up, intent on preparing the horse.

That fake message might have had unintended consequences, and Barron must have felt guilty about it to this day. Aria had to find out what happened.

"We've caught up with them!" someone called out.

"Mr. Disher, we've caught up with them!"

Lionel was surprised. "That fast?"

"The enemy had bombed the road ahead, damaging a section of it. They were about to make a detour and were nearby. They didn't get too far."

While speaking, the elites responsible for the reconnaissance ran back with bags on their backs.

They were quick. Though there were only five of them, the elite reconnaissance troop was fast, stealthy, and skilled in combat. In most cases, they were the best candidates in the unit. Without them, fighting would be like shooting in the dark—no advantage at all.

When Aria looked at them, she could see that they were marked for death. She finally understood that the fake message wasn't just to mislead Lionel.

Although Lionel had

    Lionel and the others were all watching this unfold, finding this absolutely bizarre. However, they would all forget everything after the manifestation disappeared.This was why Aria wasn't worried about any negative consequences. She didn't stop walking until she reached the intersection between the manifestation and the real world. The Cerulean Dragon suddenly said, "There's something underground. It contains boundless evil, but it's relevant to you."Something relevant to her? Aria was confused, but she didn't waste any more time and started digging. She moved fast, digging about eight inches into the ground within a short time—until she caught sight of a talisman. It wasn't one of the commonly seen ones, but one used to subdue souls. This seemed to be a recurring theme. Aria dug further down. She was no longer inside the manifestation. This item seemed to be buried in the yard, around the drainage system. Aria continued, unearthing stones along the way. Under three ta

    The other spirits were disappearing as well. They stood ramrod straight, disheveled uniforms hanging off their backs, as sharp and unrelenting as knives and axes slicing through all the injustice in this world.Their eyes showed no indignant reluctance, only longing for the future. Aria felt emotions coming over her as she watched them. Lionel knew that Aria was feeling reluctant to part with them. Aria was great, but she was also easily troubled. She was also one of their own now, so Lionel said some reassuring words to her before his departure. "I'm not as gullible as you think, my child."He touched the top of his head as he looked at her, and he laughed heartily before continuing, "You're all from the future, which proves that we're all dead at this point.""One's soul is sure to disappear when he passes. If some linger in this world, they aren't doing so by any legitimate means." Lionel was accepting of his fate as always. "I would dream of a time when my company owned a

    Marek appeared lost. The arcane seekers laughed as they gradually dissipated in the air. They depleted their spiritual energy to put the remnants of those souls within the manifestation at ease. Their souls shone as bright as stars as they surged up toward the sky from the ground. Darkness blanketed them, and everything around Aria started to fade. She knew that the manifestation was about to collapse, but the students didn't, so they were consumed by shock. Marek's hands were starting to disappear as well. He said, "Mr. Garrison told me to listen to you. They—""Okay, old man, time's running short. I'm Aria Carver. Remember to seek me out in the future and take me in as your mentee." Aria had to take Simon with him before the manifestation collapsed. She glanced at its entrance, saying, "This time round, I'll study fortune telling and the esoteric arts properly under you. If you want to ascend to another realm, I'll also lend you a hand."Marek was befuddled. "Me, take you i

    Ian's attention immediately shifted at those words. Edwin raised his lantern a little. "Mr. Ian, I'm worried that Richard still isn't on our side. He was quite cold toward Ms. Summers today." "That's true." Ian narrowed his eyes. "Unlike his father, we'll need to test where his loyalties lie." Test? Elijah had been patient long enough. He knew he could not reveal too much yet, as he needed to give Aria time. But Aria had also told him to follow his heart. Now, they just had to wait for her. Elijah was curious to know too. What secrets could someone so perfect, who even saved Ian's life, possibly be concealing?Meanwhile, a crow descended in the Carver residence's backyard. Being sent here on orders, it was hiding in the dark mist where no one could see. Its master could not enter this manifestation, but it could. However… "Sir, perhaps we should investigate Ms. Carver's past life." The crow could see the reflections within the manifestation. "It makes sense that the heroic s

    Simon was not sure either. "I think so." "This is interesting." Aria lifted the crow to meet its eyes. "You're a friend of the Cerulean Dragon and also a primordial beast. Do ancient creatures now prefer following humans around?" The crow wanted to protest and caw, "I'm not! That's not true! Don't make assumptions!" Aria did not torment it further. She tossed it to Simon. "Since you know each other, find a place to chat." The crow could not figure out Aria's intentions anymore. But Aria had no hidden agenda. She simply did not have time to deal with all these mythical creatures. Her goal was to make this public and force everything into the open. Only then would Barron stop getting upset. Besides, she still needed to keep her ability to enter the manifestation a secret. Aria buried a copper coin in the spot, then turned her gaze to the crow. As a beast of fortune, the crow suddenly had a very bad feeling. "They say a crow's call means a human is going to die," Aria smirke

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1023 A Sweet Feeling

    Something felt off, but Aria had no time to dwell on it now. Sam must be safe if he was at Mount Dracotigris. Breathing a slight sigh of relief, Aria's mood lifted. She glanced at the messages again and typed back a simple "Thanks." The reply came quickly. "I was about to file a missing person report, my dear fiancée." His cool tone barely masked his resentment. Just as Aria considered calling him, he beat her to it with a video call. She could not decline, especially since he was looking after Sam. His breathtaking face appeared on her screen soon after. He seemed to be in the mountain as there were misty trees swaying behind him. His striking features stood out against the backdrop. Aria's gaze lingered. She was having that strange feeling again. She thought he would look better in a fine brocade coat than his suit, especially in deep crimson. Such beauty deserved elegant clothes. But this was not the time to think about such things. She needed to ask about important matt

    Having just experienced such an Earthbound Manifestation, the realm within became connected to the present world. And everything tied back to Barron. Aria needed to think clearly. That master in the manifestation was too mysterious. Though she had never met him, he clearly still received offerings in the present world. Who could he be? She had discussed this with the fortune teller in the manifestation. Logically speaking, he could not have lived this long. Even if alive, he should be bedridden with age. No one around them fit that description, yet her experiences suggested this person was close by. Aria suspected he used some secret technique, perhaps... soul transfer! At this thought, her expression changed. She looked at her phone, remembering he was also in that manifestation in Ludwiten as his past life self. She sensed a connection but was missing a crucial piece of the puzzle. "What are you thinking about?" The deep, mesmerizing voice from her phone brought her back.

    Amongst everyone else, Owen hated Aria the most. His life had become unbearable. He was met with suspicious glances wherever he went, all thanks to that wretched girl! The fortune teller had warned she would bring disaster to the family, but Warren would not listen. Now that he'd finally seen her for the catastrophe she was, he surely would not miss this spectacle. He had even used his remaining connections to invite a master from Mount Dracotigris. Tomorrow, he would make her pay for everything he had suffered.That night, no one in Janovin slept peacefully. Every household buzzed with talk of Aria's departure. Deep in the mansion, Daemon coughed blood onto the wall with his back trembling. He seemed to be talking to his reflection in the mirror. "Find her... You're right, I must find her. Her image was blurred in the manifestation, but someone must have seen her clearly among those we chose." Though the remnant spirit in the Earthbound Manifestation had vanished willingly, s

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1571 Bad Intentions

    Miguel had worked so hard to climb out of being just another underpaid teacher. Most people would have been thrilled to land a principal job, but Miguel got greedy. He never cared about shaping young minds. As he often said, "It's just a paycheck. Only losers pass up money to preach about education." That mentality might fly in small towns, but in the big city, these kids wouldn't stand a chance based on merit alone. Miguel wasn't exactly looking down on his students—he just knew the situation in each class best. Students with or without local residency permits would face different college admissions standards. Rich families already had their children's overseas education lined up, so there was no sweat required. Even if they had bad grades, it wouldn't be a problem. They could still go abroad and buy themselves a fancy degree. Money talked, and that was the harsh reality. Miguel needed that Department of Education position to set his son up right. It was pretty ironic for a

    Aria would definitely have the principal of Oakvale Academy detained eventually, but not now. The moment Miguel was in custody, the people pulling his strings would smell trouble. Based on past cases, they'd likely cut all connections immediately. All their carefully gathered leads could vanish in seconds. So Miguel needed to stay free for now and even remain in plain sight. Aria said, "Don't tell your principal about what happened today." She looked at Eden. "When you go back, just attend classes like how you normally do. If Mr. Sonder asks about you, tell him you're still thinking it over. "Show how nervous you are about this, but also hint that you're eager to go abroad. You're just not quite ready yet. "Don't tell anyone about our conversation. I've added you as a contact. If anything seems off, text me immediately. "Someone will be protecting you 24/7, and your family too. So don't be afraid." As she spoke, Aria stood up. "Let's go. I'll take you back to school. They

    "I don't know what Judy meant by that," Eden said as she looked up. "She never talked like that before." "Got it," Aria said, zooming in on the photo. By looking at the brand of the chocolate drink and the surrounding buildings, she could nail down the exact location. Without hesitation, she sent it to Sam for analysis. Something about this "interview" smelled fishy. She had to see firsthand what kind of meeting would change a simple and positive girl like Judy. "About those selected applicants—do you know exactly who they were?" Aria dug deeper with her questions. Once she had names, she could connect the dots between the students. These patterns would reveal what the buyers were looking for. Human trafficking was a high-stakes criminal business, and Aria did not believe this was just about exploiting young girls. The bar incident had been her wake-up call. She needed the full picture before making her move. She would just spook them if she jumped in too soon. Their oper

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1568 Strange Interview

    Aria needed to identify all the "buyers". Missing even one buyer could mean one more student was sold. "Do the selected applicants have anything in common besides their family situations?" Aria asked, and Eden shook her head. But she then added, "Everyone had good grades, so nobody ever questioned why they were chosen for scholarships. Nothing seemed fishy about it." Aria made a mental note about the good grades, then scrolled through Judy's Facebook feed. This kind of investigation was pretty straightforward for her. Even without being accepted as a friend, she could hack in easily. From her posting habits, Judy seemed like an optimist. She was a nice girl who rarely posted anything negative. But one post made Aria scroll back and look twice. The post was cheerful, with a sunny photo and a cup of chocolate. But the text caught her attention. It read, "About to start my new life! All my hard work has paid off. The interview was kind of weird, but no big deal. Let's go!" Ar

    The person on the other end of the call didn't speak. He just nodded with a pouty little face from behind a computer screen. It was actually Sam. He'd been working behind the scenes all along, especially when investigating the Wagner situation. Having him tail Philip was the least suspicious option. Simon was available too, but his presence would definitely attract unwanted attention as a beast of fortune. Since they were dealing with an arcane seeker, bringing Simon would be like handing them a treasure. So Aria made the call to have Sam follow Philip, while Simon stayed with Landon. Aria was not worried about her handsome fiancé being in danger. It was only because Simon would be safest with him. The Yorks carried heavenly fortune. As long as there was no fated ordeal in play, anyone who tried to harm Landon would likely meet a bad end. After all, that purple energy surrounding him wasn't just for show. With Simon staying near him, Simon could mask Landon's aura while also

    "Yeah, that's right," the rest of the burly men chimed in. The whole scene was painfully forced and fake. In reality, they just wanted to leave. But Aria wasn't about to let them off so easily. She figured she would return the favor since they'd been asking about her. She asked, "Oh, so the Draycotts owe your company money? Which company is that?" Viggo had not expected this question. He froze momentarily, then quickly replied, "Our company is small, so it's not worth mentioning. It's nothing compared to yours." "It's admirable how your company can sponsor students despite being a small one." Aria's compliment was delivered flatly. Viggo's scalp tingled with unease. "It's actually our investor. He doesn't just fund us but many companies. He came from a small town himself and wants to help these students get better learning conditions." "Now that's a rare and kind soul. I'd love to meet him sometime." Aria said casually, "Since we've had such a fortunate encounter, let's exc

    The three men Aria had knocked to the ground were hurting all over, yet she had the nerve to talk about following the law. Viggo knew his men were losing their cool. After all, they'd never been humiliated like this in Ludwiten before. He quickly moved to block them, forcing a smile. "Yes, you're absolutely right. "Well, they say you never really know someone until you trade a few punches. You look unfamiliar, though. You're not from Ludwiten, are you?" Viggo was fishing for information about Aria. He needed to know who she was and why their operation had suddenly derailed today. But someone as shrewd as Aria instantly caught his meaning, so she smirked. Since things had already escalated this far, it did not matter whether she revealed her identity or not. Whoever was behind these men would investigate her anyway. It was better to draw all the attention to herself now while her senior and the Public Integrity Task Force gathered evidence behind the scenes. That way, they cou

    Viggo tried to explain, "You've got it all wrong—we don't mean any harm. We were just told to pick Ms. Bohmer up for paperwork. "Ms. Bohmer's a top student, and her school recommended her for study abroad. Just ask her if you don't believe me." Viggo shifted the spotlight to Eden. He figured a student like her wouldn't know how to speak up. Indeed, Eden was terrible at lying. Under Aria's watchful gaze, she nodded. She then added, "But something about them felt off. Maybe I was just being paranoid when I asked for your help." She couldn't very well tell this stranger that everything was based on a hunch, that these people gave her the creeps. They hadn't crossed any lines yet, but something felt wrong. She just couldn't put her finger on what. Eden struggled to explain, but Aria cut right to the chase. "So are you saying you need eight beefy men to escort a girl like her just to fill out some study abroad forms? Can't the teachers or the proper agencies handle it? "Looking

    Hearing this, Viggo frowned. The burly men exchanged glances too as they sized up the person in front of them. They'd been in Ludwiten so long but had never met anyone as bold as Aria. They all figured that she must be some out-of-town wealthy heir who didn't know the rules here. She was practically asking for trouble when she blocked their way. These people didn't follow the stock market much. If they had, they'd know that a certain young lady had arrived in town not long ago. And she was someone who was good at dealing with those who crossed her. "You should ask around about who runs things here before acting so cocky. Since you like it here, stay right here with your bike!" As they spoke, one of them walked toward Aria aggressively, raising his arm to throw a punch. The rest moved in at the same time. But before the man could touch Aria, his hand was suddenly caught. Aria moved fast. With one leg braced against her motorcycle as a pivot point, she lunged forward and droppe
