The authorities at Uludon could not ignore the serious consequences of what had transpired.

Cold sweat ran down Gregory Webb's back as he rushed toward Coral Village, racking his brain for solutions.

Frank sat beside him, looking equally anxious. He turned his gaze toward Gregory and said, "I asked you about Olivia and Grant, and you assured me there was nothing wrong with them."

Gregory paled. Feeling guilty, he said, "I had no idea this is how they were earning money."

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2211 Finding Landon

    Landon's energy well had collapsed and rebuilt itself more times than he could count. Each time it came back smaller than before, but there was something tougher about it now. It was as if the life force holding it together had fused into the foundation.The pain never let up. It went through his body and his soul, through muscle and bone, tearing at every inch of him over and over. He bit down on gums that had no flesh left on them, and when his jawbone cracked, he still didn't make a sound. He shoved all the agony, exhaustion, and despair down as far as it would go. The only thing he held onto was Aria. She was the reason he was still breathing, and that was all he needed. He could feel her from a thousand miles away. Her worry, her fear, the way she missed him so badly it had sunk into her bones. That connection between them held him like a line tied to his soul, and every time he came close to slipping away for good, it pulled him back. The spring in the sanctuary had turned

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2210 No Word From Landon

    The lights in the VIP ward had been turned down low. Warm lamplight spread across the white bedding, but it couldn't touch the cold knot of worry sitting in Aria's chest. She'd stopped asking questions. But the dread had already taken root somewhere deep and was spreading through her like vines, winding tighter until she could barely breathe. Her eyes were red and dry, and every blink stung. Yet, she didn't notice it. Every thought and every scrap of focus of hers was locked on the phone in her hands. The cold metal frame pressed against her burning palm. The screen lit up and threw light across her pale, drawn face. She opened her contacts and found Landon's name. Her fingers were shaking so badly she could barely hit the right spot on the screen. In fact, her nails had gone white from how hard she was pressing. She tapped the call button again and again. The dial tone rang out through the quiet room, and each one landed on her heart like a hammer. But after a few seconds of

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2209 Landon Disappears

    Blood dripped the entire way as Landon walked on. It fell from the hem of his coat, his fingertips, and every open wound. The trail it left was long and vivid, a red line stretching from the sect gates all the way into the deep mountains. Every drop carried the pain of heaven's punishment, which was the price he'd paid to keep Aria safe. The pain had burrowed into him like something alive. It gnawed at his mind without rest, every second worse than the last. He nearly went down in the forest more than once. His vision would dim, and he'd feel himself slipping right to the edge of blacking out. But every time, the same thing pulled him back. He'd see Aria's pale little face in that hospital bed. He'd think of the Carvers still waiting for her. Whenever he imagined her waking up and not finding him there, something quiet and stubborn inside him would jolt him back up. He couldn't afford to fall or pass out. If he made it to the sanctuary and stabilized his wounds, he had a chan

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2208 Consequences of Hurting Aria

    As Landon curled his fingertip, a thread of power locked onto Antonius' soul and began to draw it out slowly. "You hurt her, so I'm going to tear your soul apart. You'll have nothing left to move on and reincarnate." There was a soft, quiet sound, and Antonius' soul came apart in midair. It dissolved inch by inch until even the last fading echo of a scream was gone. And with that, every last one of the black-robed attackers who had touched Aria was tortured and killed. The entrance to the Grayburn Sect stood empty now. Nothing remained but the wreckage and the lingering smell of blood. Landon stood alone in the dying light of the sunset, the cold radiating off him like frost in still air. He turned slowly, wanting nothing more than to walk back to Aria and hold her again. But that was when the sky changed. The blood-red sunset vanished in an instant. Dark clouds rolled in from every direction, swallowing the light, and the wind picked up into a howl as thunder cracked across

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2207 Ambush

    Even on the edge of total exhaustion, the silver needles in Aria's hands moved like they had a mind of their own. The last elder scrambled and crawled his way to the entrance of the main hall before his legs gave out. He dropped to his knees on the cold stone with a heavy crack. His whole body was shaking as he slammed his forehead against the ground repeatedly. Blood and dirt smeared across his face until it was a mess. His voice came out shredded and raw. "Please spare me. I swear I'll never set foot in Grayburn Sect again!" Aria walked toward him slowly. Her clothes had soaked through with blood long ago, so they were dark red from collar to hem. And every step she took left a faint crimson footprint on the stone stairs. The setting sun draped over her shoulders, but it didn't look like evening light. It looked like bloodstained armor. When she stared down at him, there was no anger in her eyes, just a still and dead kind of coldness. It was the kind of calm that came righ

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2206 On Guard

    Aria leaned into Landon's arms and looked up at the clean line of his jaw. "I couldn't dodge that one. Good thing you were here." Landon looked down at the blood on her cheek. He brushed it away with his fingertip, his voice coming out soft but with a tinge of heartache. "Be careful." He'd almost been too late. If something had actually happened to Aria, the entire Grayburn Sect wouldn't have been enough to pay for it. Nobody was allowed to touch her. Heaven's rules had already shattered the moment he stepped in, but he didn't care. If that punch had connected, Aria would be dead or crippled. He wouldn't allow anything to happen to her. Dustin clutched his knee, his voice shaking as he asked, "You... Who the hell are you?" Landon didn't even look at him. He just steadied Aria and made sure she had her footing. Once she was stable, Aria rolled a silver needle between her fingertips again. Her eyes swept across the remaining seven elders coldly. "Let's keep going. We're way p

    Aria clutched the amethyst pendant in her hand, trying to gather her thoughts.What was Mindy's role in all this? Dorothy's confident demeanor didn't seem to fit a maid's. And Owen's behavior was suspicious too.Aria never considered the possibility that Mindy might be Owen's illegitimate daughter. Af

    Mindy stiffened, panic etched on her face. "Aria, you've misunderstood. I would never prevent you from coming back. You're my sister—""Sister?" Aria grinned. "You can call Mr. Carver your father as long as he agrees. However, didn't you say we had a conflict before? Why are you calling me your siste

    Aria flung the pillow at Dorothy. "You're responsible for my mother's basic needs. The Carvers trusted you completely."You said you know nothing about the effects, so why is there lemon and mint inside my mom's pillow? It's clear you knew exactly what you were doing."The evidence was irrefutable, pr
