Chapter 1132 Think Twice Before Crossing Aria

Author: Night Eleven
Preston ignored Aria's attempts at conversation twice and merely walked ahead.

Meanwhile, Landon paused his long stride, clearly waiting for Aria. With an elegant profile, he looked so refined and noble as he reached to help her down the steps. He appeared more like a beautiful but deadly godfather than a gentleman.

Now that he was away from the Carver residence, the lethal pressure of his presence was on full display. Only when Preston noticed Landon's manner did he finally acknowledge Aria and put on a smile. "I didn't know Mr. York and Aria were so close to each other."

Judging from the contrast in addressing Landon and Aria, Preston was clearly pulling rank to pick on an easy target. Clearly, some people in their circle never learned.

Landon barely lifted his eyelids, but even that slight movement radiated so much coldness. Anyone who worked with him would recognize this as the precursor to destruction.

Though Preston had met Landon several times, the huge gap between the

    The medicine pouch floating in the bathtub was packed full with rare and invaluable herbs. They promoted blood circulation, reduced stasis, and calmed the mind.After preparing the bath, Aria stepped out of the bathroom and sat next to Landon."You and Sam should get some rest. It's going to take me a while to treat Yona."Landon raised an eyebrow, his expression calm and unhurried. "It's okay. I'll wait for you."Aria gave a small nod and stood up. "I'll make her a glass of warm milk."About 15 minutes later, she checked the time. "Go get freshened up. I'll head in and finish up."She picked up the warm milk and an outfit she had asked Wynric to buy for Yona, then walked toward the room.When she entered, Yona was lying in the tub, looking much better—stronger, though still faintly exhausted.Aria set the milk down on the table. "Feeling better?""I am. I can feel my strength coming back." Yona nodded firmly. "This medicine pouch works wonders. I recovered in no time."Aria

    The young woman trembled, her eyes brimming with fear. Even so, she spoke softly. "My name is Yona Seaton. I'm…"Yona trailed off. Lifting her gaze, she looked at Aria, Landon, and Wynric, unsure if she should tell them everything. What if they were working with Otto, and this so-called rescue was just a test?Aria saw through Yona's hesitation and offered a gentle smile. "Don't worry. We're not the bad guys. The choice is yours—you can tell us if you want to. If you'd rather not, you can keep it to yourself."Yona swallowed hard. "You're all Farshyans, right? You probably know Dashiell Wycliffe, the Deputy Secretary of Defense?""Dashiell?" Aria's eyes glinted. "I've heard of him. What's your connection to him?""I-I used to be his assistant," Yona said, lowering her head.Seeing that, Aria immediately draped her jacket over Yona. "So, you're Dashiell's assistant? How did you end up in Otto's hands?""We were on a work trip to Mecira. Mr. Wycliffe was making a call in his offic

    "Okay. Sit tight. We're hitting the road."Wynric sat up, pressed the accelerator, and the car surged forward. Eventually, they stopped in front of a luxurious villa, ablaze with light, music, and laughter. Security guards stood sentinel at the entrance, inspecting invitations."We're here."Wynric parked and stepped out. "This is the place I told you about. I hope it helps with what you're doing."Looking up, Aria said, "You mentioned the NIO's local chief. Is he here?"Wynric threw his hand up in the air. "I'm not sure. We'll know once we get inside. But I think he will be—he's close to Otto, sort of a mentor."Wynric led the way to the entrance. When he stopped before the guards, he handed over his invitation. After a quick glance at the trio, the guard returned the invitation. "Enjoy."The trio entered the villa, finding it packed with people in their finery. Men wore sharp suits; women wore luxurious jewelry and gowns. Guests stood in groups, wine glasses in hand, their

    Wesson froze. He turned back slowly, disbelief written across his face. "W-Why are you behind me?"Aria's eyes hardened. "We can be anywhere we like. It's a shame things didn't go as you planned. You tried to burn this place down to cover your tracks. Too bad it didn't work."Wesson's expression tightened as he snapped back to his senses. "Where are the relics? Tell me now, or I'll order my men to shoot you all."Aria stepped forward, calm. "Is that right? If you'd burned us back there, you could've lied your way out. But are you sure you want to pull the trigger here? Go ahead if you don't mind losing your post."Wesson's face went cold. "What do you want?""Simple," Aria said bluntly. "Tell me the name of the Farshyan working with you. Reveal him, and I might give you a chance."Wesson laughed. "So, you want to know about that. Fine. I'll tell you."He smiled slyly before continuing, "It's you. You've been taking my orders."Aria answered coolly, "You're delusional. Since you

    As long as the relic incident stayed secret, Wesson still had a chance to explain. He could accept punishment or a demotion. But if word spread that he had stolen Farshyan relics, Athara would make him a scapegoat, and he would be the focus of everyone's fury.Madden watched the building burn and ground his teeth. "Wesson, you're challenging Farshya. If anything happens to them, you'll go down with them."Wesson sounded detached. "As long as nobody knows what happened, no one will believe your one-sided claims.""You monster! If you had any conscience, none of this would have happened!" Madden was being held down and could only glare helplessly.Wesson sneered. "Conscience? Hah. If I had that, I wouldn't be chief of the NIO. The world is full of saints, but sinners are the ones who survive. If they die in there, both my ally and I can walk free."…At that moment, Aria heard voices above the basement."Mr Ahern should be here. Move the relics out and meet him." Aria and Landon t

    "Iris, what happened?" Aria frowned and reached out, but her hand passed through thin air. The sight confirmed her suspicions. Iris smiled gently. "Aria, it's time for me to go. I've been happy spending time with you."Her lower body was fading, leaving only her upper torso hovering. "Grandma said something that brought my memories back. I was supposed to be trapped here, but my brothers helped me escape. They told me to find someone or a scent I recognized to save them."Aria said quietly, "So the poem about the emerald and human was about you? If you can take human form and feel emotion, you must have existed for a very long time.""That's right. You're so smart." Iris kept smiling. "I need to return to the emerald doll now. I'm so glad I met you. Goodbye."She looked at Aria with reluctant joy. Slowly her form became translucent, then dissolved into a soft white light that flowed into the emerald doll in the crate behind Aria.Aria opened the crate and found an emerald doll i
