My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 367

Under the ink-black night, the vast, silent ocean lay under the dark sky. A fiery red fox approached the shore, raising its fluffy tail and drinking water contentedly.

Before long, the wind picked up, clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled as fierce lightning bolts struck down. This seemed to awaken a monstrous beast from the depths, causing terrifying waves to rise. The little fox, startled, bristled its fur and tried to flee, but it was too late.

The fierce wind and waves drenched its beautiful tail and dragged it into the deep ocean. The currents tossed its frail body, pulling it into a swirling, dark vortex, crashing and tumbling relentlessly.

The fox, struggling and crying out for help, tried desperately to crawl back to the beach, seeking a sliver of hope. But despite its efforts and hoarse cries, a massive wave would easily drag it back into the depths. This repeated over and over until the sky began to lighten. Exhausted by the relentless onslaught of the wild waters, the little fox finally closed its eyes, barely alive, letting the ferocious sea consume it completely. Even the iris mark on its forehead faded away.

On the beach, only the endless white waves remained, as if nothing had ever happened.

At the KimTai Bay, the Realm of Illusions wrap party was in full swing. Investors and crew members were all there, waiting only for the two leading stars to pop the champagne. Kevin checked the time and dialed Xanthea’s number.

“Beep beep beep—”

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable.”

Kevin called three times, but no one answered. He frowned in confusion.

It wasn’t usual for her. He had reminded Xan several times that even if she had decided to celebrate privately with Mr. Lockwood, she would’ve at least called to inform him. Could there be some incident?

“Hello? Benjamin?”

Xanthea’s phone didn’t go through, but Benjamin called instead.

“Director, sorry, I’ve got an unexpected commitment and can’t make it to the party.”

“What? You’re not coming either? This was supposed to be a grand celebration, and now both you and Xan can’t make it. What are we supposed to do?”
