Chapter 1228 Belongs to Kaspar
Though the crow wasn’t familiar with sigh languages, he realized that Dalton’s lier and disguise were likely to be discovered
Dalton was still missing a fragment of his soul, and the crow was uncertain how Wynter would react if she learned of Dalton’s identity.
In truth, both Dalton and the crow came to Hawford in search of the missing soul fragment. They couldn’t afford any missteps that might jeopardize Dalton’s safety.
As the crow grew worried, Dalton approached Wynter and explained, “There’s a holy ground that lies deep in the forest on Mt. Dragon.
“That place is brimming with spiritual energy and inhabited by various beasts. Humans rarely go there. I believe Wolf was sent there.”
Wynter arched her brow. “Is there truly such a place on Mt. Dragon?”
“Indeed, but it’s remained confidential to the public,” Dalton replied calmly.
Wolf
Wynter turned to for confirmation Wolf thought of the secluded forest and nodded in agreement.
Suddenly remembering something, he whipped the crow out of his pocket and stuffed it into Wynter’s hands. He pointed at the crow, silently implying that the crow had guided him out of the forest.
Wynter gazed at the crow with amusement, recognizing him as the mythical beast she had seen back at the Quinnell residence.
“It seems fate has brought us together again. So, tell me, why did you guide Wolf out of that place?” Wynter asked with a meaningful tone.
The crow attempted to play dead, but Wynter saw through his tricks. “Playing dead again? Enough with this pointless act. You’re a mythical beast, after all,” she said with a snicker.
The crow stiffened in Wynter’s hands. Unsure of how to react, all he could manage was a helpless squawk. How could he explain that he guided Wolf out of the forest?
Tve heard that a Mythical beast has activetected a cultivator from Mt.
I’ve
Dragon as their master It’s not surprising that the crow han guided Wolf out of the forest as the beast must’ve sensed Wolfe awakening on the holy grounds,”
Dalton calmly explained
Though his words sounded convincing, Wynter couldn’t shake her doubts. “Are you implying that the crow belongs to Mr. Stavius ?”
“I only know that a cultivator has been acknowledged, but I’m not sure who they are.” Dalton nonchalantly replied.
Despite her doubts, Wynter didn’t have time to confirm the crow’s identity. She suddenly noticed Dalton standing at the hidden passage’s entrance.
In an instant, Wynter looked up and realized they were out of the surveillance cameras‘ view.
Closing her eyes, Wynter slowly recalled Vanessa’s last movements after her drink. It appeared that Vanessa would’ve passed through that area either way.
Wynter speculated that a switch or a master control might operate the hidden passage. As for where the hidden passage would lead to…
Wynter handed Wolf her laptop and a flash drive. “Hack into this nightclub’s local area network and restore the chat histories,” she instructed.
It had been ages since Wolf last worked with a computer. He innocently accepted the laptop and started tapping on the keyboard.
While Wolf focused on hacking, Wynter turned on her flashlight and glanced at the dark passage. A fleeting flicker passed through her eyes, though it
betrayed nothing of her thoughts.
“Well then, let’s find out where this leads.” Wynter smirked. If the hidden passage truly opened onto the other side of the building, Vanessa’s case would be solved.
