Chapter 478 We Meet Again
“Luck,” Wynter said briefly before bracing her arms against the handrail behind Dalton as she pressed her lips to his.
Their heights matched perfectly, and his fine looks complemented hers as well.
The only difference lay in their carriage. Where Dalton was imperious and aloof, Wynter had the makings of a temptress. In summary, they made a handsome pair.
Maurice’s eyes widened at the sight of this. This was the first time he had seen heavenly luck being borrowed this way. He cried out to Kaspar in alarm, “Master!”
“What are you yelling for? Watch Dalton’s back,” Kaspar said tersely. He was busy mustering strength for breaking the formation. “Don’t let the evil aura get near him.”
“Do I stop him from being kissed too?” Maurice asked loudly.
Kissed? Kaspar had only just located Lana, and he was about to perform the Arcane Way on the dark shadow writhing behind her when he paused.
For a moment, he doubted himself. Did he make a mistake? Was there a greater evil downstairs? Why else would Dalton, of all people, get kissed all of a sudden?
While Kaspar was momentarily distracted, Lana darted past him with the dark shadow in her wake. The lights overhead flickered.
Lana was the older sister, and protecting her younger twin was a matter of instinct.
Kaspar was a master of the Arcane Way and was only a level away from being a grand master. If he were to get his hands on her, he would shatter their souls.
When Kaspar realized Lana was getting away, he quickly fished out an artifact to stop her. But at the next.
second, a lucky coin was tossed in his direction.
At once, the aura of the artifact dissipated, and another figure appeared before Lana.
Kaspar recognized Wynter right away. “You’re the young lady from the hotel!”
..wynter replied politely Fi
“In the seems we meet again, Mr. Stavius.”
She then cast a sidelong glance at Lana. “Go ahead and do what you must. I’ve already talked to my
acquaintance, so go and have your revenge the way you like it.”
Lana was about to say something when Wynter urged quietly, “Go!”
Kaspar’s gray brows knitted at this. “Young lady, stay out of this! You have no idea what you’ve just done!”
“Oh, I’m well aware,” Wynter countered without stepping out of Kaspar’s way. “She set up the Earthbound
Formation.”
“You know that?” Kaspar paused. It didn’t take him long to put two and two together. He stared at Wynter

with wide eyes and said, “You’re the one who broke that formation the other day!”
“Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Stavius,” Wynter quipped with a smile, not at all denying his accusation.
Kaspar exclaimed, “My child, where have you been? I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”
This surprised Wynter. She had no idea what he was going on about.
Glancing at Maurice, who was downstairs, Kaspar patted Wynter on the shoulder and said, “I must go and break the formation first. We’ll talk about your apprenticeship once I’m done.”
But Wynter did not let him past her. “Mr. Stavius, I need to talk to you about this breaking–the–formation
business.”
When Kaspar saw that she would not budge, he understood her intentions. “You’ve made up your mind to help that evil spirit? Don’t you know how that will disrupt the heavenly balance?”
“Heavenly balance?” Wynter pointed out crisply, “I can’t cultivate that, but I do have a question for you, Mr. Stavius. Is blind loyalty true loyalty?”
Kaspar had been cultivating the Arcane Way for years, and his stance on the matter was clear. “No.”
“If I was killed by my parents and my death was brutal, is my grudge justified?” Wynter pressed.
Kaspar froze. “I don’t think any parent would be so cruel as to-”
“Mr. Stavius, your compassion makes you a great cultivator of the Arcane Way,” Wynter said, cutting him off. “But you have secluded yourself in the mountains for years and have cut off contact with the outside.
world.
“What good will the fruits of your cultivation do if you do not recognize the pain and suffering that are rife within society?”
