Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1537

Christ remained silent as he carefully stored away the bamboo dragonfly.

He checked the Grand Elder's breathing, finding no signs of life.

Only then did he accept the fact that the Grand Elder, a relic of the past, had indeed passed.

"Grand Elder."

After the Grand Elder's abduction, Christ initially suspected it was Summer's doing. After all, Summer was like an apprentice to them, having learned alongside Cynthia back in the day.

However, Cynthia was invariably the more gifted, be it in hypnosis or the arts, she was a top-notch prodigy.

Before her eighteenth birthday, Cynthia was hand-picked as the BK's Holy Daughter.

Neither the Grand Elder nor Christ was married, nor did they have a daughter, so they treated Cynthia as if she were their own flesh and blood.

Ever since Cynthia disappeared, they'd been searching but never had a trace to follow.

Left with no alternatives, Christ instructed his people to start preparing for the Grand Elder's funeral.

Upon hearing of the Grand Elder's passing, Summer knew that besides Cynthia, he was the Grand Elder's only other disciple. According to BK’s rules, a disciple could inherit the Grand Elder's position within the organization.

Though rarely involved in decision-making, Summer had a solid reputation within the organization. Now, with the title of Grand Elder upon him, a smirk appeared on his lips.

This was no happy accident, but a carefully laid plan.

Should Christ pass away afterward, his position would still fall to Summer.

Over the years, the Grand Elder and Christ had overlooked Summer, still thinking he was the gentle disciple from his youth, unaware of Summer's connection to Cynthia's disappearance.

Summer's phone rang; it was K.

With the Grand Elder’s death, and Summer now taking his place, the next step was to ensure Christ's demise as well.

Then the entire organization would dance to their tune.

K's voice was indifferent, "Congratulations."

Summer let out a chuckle, eyes still fixed on the monitor.

"All I can say is these two old men suffered a great loss."

A lifetime of hard work, and everything would belong to Summer.

K hadn't suspected Summer was involved in Cynthia's disappearance. Within the organization, Summer had always appeared gentle, and he was Cynthia's senior disciple, the one she trusted most.

When Cynthia first vanished, it was Summer who had made a big show of trying to find her, leading K to believe the man was on the opposing side.

They hadn’t openly clashed because he vaguely knew this man was also involved with the research base, so they had remained at peace with each other over the years.
