By then, even if the Verkade family managed to snatch the Heart of the Sun, they would still face challenges from the Quillen family and the Holy Fire organization. Whether they could hold onto it was uncertain, making it a disastrous move.

On the other side, Emmanuel and Ashton also entered Willow.
The two, famished, immediately indulged in a sumptuous feast.
