Chapter 425 Under the Surface

Author: Night Eleven
Aria bided her time, waiting for the opportune moment to strike decisively. Clutching the damning records in her grasp, she was impervious to any attempts at manipulation or guilt-tripping.

The veteran staff, disdainful of Aria's humble origins, sought to assert their dominance over her. They doubted that a country girl like her could possess any real capability.

They hadn't anticipated being outsmarted by a young woman, let alone witnessing their downfall unfold with no time for remorse.

Once again, a witness to Aria's capabilities, Conrad broke out in a cold sweat. As instructed, he had observed her conduct the meeting, a fate he found worse than outright dismissal.

"Mr. Morris," Aria called out after the meeting, "Please stay behind."

Conrad felt a chill run down his spine.

Aria wasted no time. She thrust photos of the basement parking lot toward him. "Look at them. Recognize these?"

Conrad examined them closely, his face turning pale. "Ms. Carver, please believe me! I had n

    Aria's voice was calm. "Okay, let's go home, then."She and Landon got into the car with the takeouts and headed straight for the hospital."Anyway, do you have time tomorrow? I'm thinking about visiting Grandma," Aria said, casting him a sidelong glance. "If you're busy—""I'm not," Landon cut in, amusement in his voice. "I'll always have time for your grandmother. When do you want to visit her? I'll send my driver to pick you up."Aria lifted her chin. "Let's do it in the morning. We can catch lunch together at noon. I'll cook.""Alright," Landon replied with a grin, running his fingers through her silky hair. "I'll tell my driver to pick you up in the morning. We'll go together."Aria stretched lazily. "I'm grabbing some shut-eye. Wake me up when we're there."She slowly closed her eyes, but her mind was racing. Things were starting to feel dangerous in Janovin. Sylas was hiding in the shadows, Sonia posed a threat and could have Krowonian backing… and there was something els

    Aria suddenly leaned closer. "What does it have to do with you?"Landon froze for a moment before snapping back to his senses. "Nothing. I'm just a patient."Aria batted her eyelashes. "But you're already nearly recovered."He let out a light cough. "Not yet. I'm still recovering and need your treatment."…Meanwhile, in the basement of a windowless villa, the only source of light came from a dust-coated oil lamp beside a small altar.The wick had been drawn thin, its flame trembling at the slightest draft. Long shadows stretched across the stained walls, resembling dried streaks of blood.The altar itself was made of oak, its smooth surface faintly glinting under the weak lamplight. At its center sat a Krowonian doll.The doll, barely half a foot tall, wore a silk robe that glimmered faintly in the dim glow. Frayed golden threads unraveled down the fabric, revealing a dark underlayer that resembled dried veins.Its face was so pale it was nearly translucent, but the fine line

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2098 Something Wrong

    Homer looked down at his hands, feeling the steady return of his magic flowing through his veins. A long-lost smile spread across his face. This time, he hadn't just escaped death; he had regained his powers and grown stronger than before. He could tell that he was only half a step away from becoming an Arcane High Priest.Aria jutted her chin. "Mr. Bond, rest well. If you don't recover soon, your apprentices might come knocking on my family's door."Homer frowned. "If they dare to cause you all any trouble, I'll kick them out of the sect."Aria smiled. "Good. Take care of yourself. I still have other matters to handle, but I'll visit you again tomorrow."Homer waved his hands. "Go ahead. Now that my power is back, there's no need to worry about Sylas ambushing me. I'll be fine."With that, Aria and Landon left his ward.…In the meantime, Sylas and his men were somewhere in the underground palace. A thin chill gathered at Sylas' fingertips as his men handed over the dossier

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2097 Warning

    The driver instinctively slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching sharply against the pavement.Sylas pushed the car door open and looked ahead warily. Beneath the streetlight, a lone figure stood in the middle of the road. His poised stance and tailored attire only heightened the quiet menace radiating from him."It's you?" Sylas' voice chilled. He recognized the man as the one usually with Aria. He had always come across as mild and unassuming—an ordinary, defenseless man.Yet, something about Landon's presence triggered every alarm in Sylas' mind. The weight of his presence was crushing, far beyond what Sylas had felt even when facing Homer. It was obvious that Landon was far more dangerous.Landon turned slowly, revealing his handsome yet indifferent face. His eyes were devoid of emotion, gleaming like ice untouched for centuries. The moment his gaze met Sylas', the latter stiffened. It was the look of a predator sizing up its prey, and it stole the air from Sylas' lungs.

    One after the other, Aria and Landon stepped into the ward and approached Homer, who lay unconscious on the hospital bed. "Mr. Bond, hang in there," Aria said quietly, her voice soothing. "I will save you."Then, she turned to Landon. "I need to focus on treating Mr. Bond. I'll leave everything else to you."He nodded lightly. "Okay."Aria took out her needle case again. Pinching a silver needle between her fingers, she slowly inserted it into Homer's skin. The needle trembled at once, as though encountering a terrifying force.From the vibration, Aria sensed it clearly—Homer's consciousness had been brushed by a streak of dark energy."I'm counting on you," she whispered. Without another word, she closed her eyes and gathered her consciousness into a fine strand. Following the markings on the needle's base, she guided it carefully into Homer's mind.On the bed, Homer's previously steady breathing suddenly faltered. His eyes snapped open, and his left hand lunged toward Aria

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2095 Plot Uncovered

    No one knew the old man wasn't a real person. In truth, he was a puppet Sylas had animated using dark arts, and it had served its purpose well.The puppet had lowered Homer's guard and seized his soul before he even realized what was happening. Had he not been gravely injured, he would never have fallen for it. After all, he was a powerful arcane priest. But now, he was completely at Sylas' mercy.That was exactly what Sylas had counted on. What surprised him, however, was that someone had managed to save Homer in spite of those heavy injuries.So, he gathered everyone who had been at the scene and visited Homer at the hospital. It was the perfect opportunity to blend in with the crowd and get close to him.Homer's mentees were guarding his ward. To bypass them, Sylas needed a new plan.Meanwhile, Homer's consciousness was in chaos. His soul was trapped in a purplish black dimension, while Sylas' spectral form stared at him with mocking amusement."Homer, you're a tough one. I
