Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 498

498 Ruined 

The Lu family was in a mess as they searched for Kaylus. Nobody knew how she was kidnapped. The Cctv footage around the School was deleted in a way that they can’t be retrieved but thanks to Valen’s system, it was an easy feat. 1 

Valen got to know how his little sister was kidnapped, however, he couldn’t tell where she was taken to- the system couldn’t find the location. 

While the family was met with a dead end, Valen started drawing to calm his angry heart. The Lu men and SINNERS were all out, searching for her while Valen was forced to stay back. The child couldn’t find himself having a peace of mind, so he channeled his anger into what he was drawing. 

Once he was done, he realized he had been drawing a sword. He didn’t know why, but he liked the design, so he sent the drawing to a blacksmith who made a sword from the rainborite stone as per 

Valen’s instruction. 

The next day, things were also the same, or even worse, because the child was still not found. Doyenne’s hideout was raided after the Cctv showed she kidnapped the child. But her place was empty and nothing was found. 

At this point of desperation for the Lu family, a stranger, or rather, an acquaintance came knocking on 

their door. 

“Diana?” 

“Hey, long time.” 

“When did you come back?” 

“As soon as I heard that your granddaughter is missing. I have a hunch that she was taken by the sisterhood.” 

“What do you mean? I thought the sisterhood was exterminated?” 

“I didn’t see Doyenne’s body, nor the witches.” Diana explained. 

“True,” Pink nodded. “So, what you’re saying is she was taken by Doyenne and the witches to resurrect the sisterhood?” 

“Not hundred percent certain but there’s no harm in thinking that way.” 

“Do 

you know their location?” 

“I know of two. There might be more locations.” 

With Diana leading the way, the hideouts were found. 

Arriving at a treehouse in the forest, the Lu men poured into the house, however, they were sent flying a moment later; dead. 

Another batch of men ran in but met the same fate. 

Valen was sitting in the car, watching what was happening. Suddenly, the system spoke in his mind. 

[You shouldn’t be sitting here. Your sword can ward off the magic. ] 

“How?” 

[The rainborite stone is a neutralizer for all types of negative energy. With it beside you, you and your men will be fine. 

Valen immediately got out of the car and rushed to Rex who was about to lead some men into the 

house. 

“Uncle, I want to come along” 

“You can’t. You’ve seen how dangerous it is.” His gaze shifted to the dead men. 

“You can’t go in either. You’ll only end up dead.” 

“Let’s see about that.” Rex said but just as he was about to leave, Valen gripped his hand and whispered. 

“The system said that the rainborite stone is a neutralizer against dark magic.” He brought the sword forward. 

Rex glanced at the sword. It was a beautiful one. The black and stylish hilt got his attention. But when he pulled the sword out of its scabbard, he marveled at the gorgeousness of the thin crystal blade. 

The blade was as thin as a normal blade spud be, but heavier. The crystal blade shone against the sun as it slowly changed colors. 

Meanwhile, inside the house, Kaylus could be seen, sitting at the center of a huge circle. Doyenne was sitting in front of her and holding the child’s hands. About thirty women in black cloaks with hoodies, stood around the outer line of the circle, chanting with their eyes closed… except for the leaders of the witch who wore a red cloak with a hoodie; Lady Sabrina. 

Suddenly, Lady Sabrina’s eyes snapped open and she looked in the direction of the door. The vision. she saw in the past flashed past her mind. She felt an ominous feeling. But for the greater good of the sisterhood and their mission, this initiation has to be completed as soon as possible! 

“Speed it up!” 

She commanded and joined the others in the incantation. One more line… a few more words to finish 

the initiation… 

Boom! 

Bang! 

The door was blown open and what followed were a series of gunshots. At first, the witches didn’t feel afraid because they knew that bullets don’t kill them. They ignored the shooting and continued after their initial pause. They just wanted to finish the incantation and once that is done, nothing can stop the sisterhood from growing even if the witches are killed. 

But unfortunately, their enemies won’t give them that freedom. 

Seeing that the bullets wouldn’t do anything to them, Rex, Code 5, Code 2, and Code 10 changed their bullets to stone bullets in less than one minute.
