Chapter 447 Mysterious Creature

Author: Night Eleven
"The thousand dollars is just a deposit," Aria said, her eyes piercing and dark as a demon's. "You'll get the rest once you spread the word. You didn't think I'd believe everything you said, right? Rhabdomancy isn't widely understood."

"I…I…" the beggar stammered, beads of sweat erupting on his forehead.

This wasn't going according to plan. He'd figured even a sharp woman like her wouldn't see through his entire scheme. But here she was, right on the money.

Aria raised an eyebrow, the mole beneath her eye a striking counterpoint to her composed expression. "I'll give you one last chance. Who put you up to this with the wooden box?"

"I don't know. The person wore a black coat and looked scary. Although the person used a voice changer, I could tell she was a woman. That's right. Just a… I'm guilty." There was something off with the beggar.

Aria immediately reached out to check his arm.

The beggar's expression. "God will definitely punish me. I've committed an unforgivable sin."

    The person secretly tailing Hogan was none other than Wynric. Earlier that day, when he handed Aria the party invitations, she had given him a mission.He was to skip the party and keep watch on the Brighton Hotel's entrance. If Hogan left, Wynric was to follow him and find out what he was up to.Wynric was about to move when a voice called out from behind. "Wait for me. I'm tagging along."He stopped and turned. It was Sam."You're coming with me? Are you trying to make my job harder?"Wynric had never actually seen Sam's combat skills. Back in Solandria, Sam had already dealt with the henchmen by the time Wynric arrived."Huh? Boss told me to follow you. I wouldn't be here otherwise." Sam tilted his head. "Did you just call me a burden?"Wynric sighed and rubbed his forehead. "No, I didn't. Fine, tag along if you want, but we'd better hurry before we lose him."He then sprinted in Hogan's direction. Though Hogan was already some distance away, Wynric could still keep him in

    Yona froze where she stood, covering her eyes in a futile attempt to stop the tears streaming down her cheeks. "Aria, I'm so glad I ran into you.""We're both Farshyans. I'll help you however I can. Fate must've brought us together for a reason." Aria took some tissues and gently tapped Yona's shoulder. "Pull yourself together. We're about to hit the road.""Okay."Yona took the tissues, turned around, and wiped her tears.Moments later, the four of them left the hotel suite, fully dressed. Brighton Hotel stood right across the street—just a short walk away. This time, however, staff were stationed at both entrances, welcoming guests and inspecting their invitations.After all, this was a welcome party hosted by the Meciran leaders, meaning every guest was a big shot. Naturally, security was tight, and no one could enter without an invitation.Instead of heading straight there, Aria and her team went to the restaurant in their hotel. "Let's grab a bite before we go." Ar

    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
