Chapter 1156 A Chimera’s Skeleton
The crow couldn’t fathom Dalton’s thoughts. But he did fear that dagger made of a
Chimera’s skeleton.
Indeed, the curved dagger wasn’t just any ordinary animal’s skeleton. It was from a Chimera, an ancient beast. Most importantly, it still carried the spiritual energy
formed between heaven and earth.
Back then, even the crow hadn’t expected that a seemingly insignificant sect that was consistently at the bottom in the Arcane Way tournaments every year would
possess the purest spiritual energy.
Furthermore, it was hidden deep within each of its members.
If the crow hadn’t followed Dalton to live on the mountain, he wouldn’t have believed
it. Dalton was also so bewitched by the art of the Arcane Way back then that he
willingly became one of Wynter’s boy toys.
Later on, Dalton stayed because he loved the sect’s spiritual energy. That was also
when the crow shifted his stance and no longer disturbed Dalton.
When Dalton mentioned that he wanted the scabbard, of course, the crow would
bring it for him.
In addition to the curved dagger in the wooden box, there was also a somewhat
inconspicuous emerald and a turtle shell–like object used for divination.
Yvette only took some of the unique books, which required someone capable of
deciphering their contents. But what remained now could predict fortunes and
disasters.
While Wynter touched these items, Leo, Dora, and Carol nearly lost control and
revealed their original forms in public.
These items were far too unfriendly to evil unborn souls. They were all imbued with
spiritual energy and were capable of injuring the spirits once unsheathed.
Having a scabbard for the dagger was better. Otherwise, the three of them wouldn’t
dare come out and eat the food fed by Wynter.
Whitley observed everything from a short distance. He didn’t dare approach, either, The curved dagger was too intimidating.
But he didn’t understand why Dalton remained indifferent. After all, he should also be able to sense the dagger’s uniqueness,
Still, Whitley was only guessing since he hadn’t recovered his memories.
Meanwhile, Margaret packed some of Wynter’s favorite foods into a bag. Although she knew that everything was available on the road nowadays, she couldn’t help but worry as an elder,
“When you see Wolf, make sure he eats more. These fried shrimp shouldn’t spoil in one night. He loves them.”
Wynter looked at the box of shrimp, a smile reaching her eyes. “I love them, too.”
“He’s a little glutton, and you’re a big one. It’s getting late, so you should go. Since you’re leaving for Hawford, Albert will surely have instructions for you.*
Margaret wasn’t ignorant. On the contrary, she had learned to let go of some things at her age. But she always paid extra attention to what she truly cared about.
“As for the Whitmans, I believe that you’ll find a way.” With that, Margaret said no
further.
Before getting in the car, Wynter bent down and hugged Margaret. Others might not understand what Wynter was doing, but Whitley did. She was using her own life span
to extend Margaret’s life.
Whitley furrowed his brows, but before he could move, Dalton raised his hands to separate Wynter from Margaret.
His gaze was calm. “You’ll be back soon. Your grandma will still be here. Get in the
car.*
Margaret also urged Wynter. It was as if Margaret was deliberately avoiding Wynter’s palms that were on her back. She waved her hands. “Go on, silly child. I’ll be waiting for you to return.”
Wynter lowered her gaze. She couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but Margaret

seemed different from before.
The more people experienced, the more they changed. Yet, there were some changes Wynter would rather Maraget had never undergone.
Yvette shouldn’t have crossed the line. If Yvette wanted to pretend, she should have at least done it well and accompanied Margaret until the end before scheming and stealing.
Wynter’s gaze dimmed. Since Margaret meant nothing but exploitation to Yvette, she could forget about using the things she had stolen from Wynter.
