Gwen broke away in a burst of speed and shot out of Javonbury. She heard Queenie behind her, saying, “Step back into this city again, and you die.”
Her expression stiffened. She had planned to mask her aura and secretly investigate the one carrying that half-breed bloodline. Her instincts told her Queenie was protecting something. But for now, she didn’t dare push further.
“Where the hell is that half-breed?” Gwen muttered with a frown
If she failed this mission, she’d be reprimanded and lose her mentor’s trust.
“Wherever you are, I’ll find you,” she said coldly. “And when I do, I’ll grind your bones to dust. A half-breed of the Drake family like you isn’t meant to exist.”
Once Queenie confirmed Gwen had left Javonbury, she contacted Ashton.
“Ms. Nolan, what’s up?” Ashton asked, caught off guard as he made his way to the Skybound Club in Linton Island. He hadn’t expected her to call at a time like this.
“Are you from the Drake family?” she asked bluntly.
“What?”
His chest tightened as unease crept in. Queenie wouldn’t ask something like this without reason. Maybe his identity had already been exposed. If so, his family would be in danger.
After witnessing the terror and power of otherworldly realm experts, Ashton understood clearly that he had no way to stand against the Drake family with his current condition. If the situation reached the worst possible outcome, he could only take his family and flee.
“Someone came to Javonbury,” Queenie answered. “She claimed to have sensed the aura of a Drake bloodline and came to kill this person to preserve the purity of the family. Her name is Gwen Lussier, a third-tier otherworldly realm expert.”
Ashton’s stomach dropped. The pressure kept building, one problem after another. He wasn’t ready for this, not against the Drake family.
Queenie seemed to pick up on the weight in his silence.
“You don’t need to worry for now. I’ve already driven her out of Javonbury, so she won’t be able to confirm you’re a half-breed from Drakes,” she said slowly.
“But from here on, be careful. Use your bloodline power sparingly. Once it’s exposed, you know what’ll happen.
“And one more thing. If you run into Gwen again, and it comes to the worst-case scenario… Don’t let her leave. She can’t take that information back to the Drakes.”
Ashton felt a surge of gratitude. “Got it. Thanks, Ms. Nolan.”
“Get stronger, and do it fast. Right now you’re too weak, and nothing’s going to wait for you.”
Queenie ended the call and looked up at the night sky, her gaze unreadable as a faint smile appeared.
“So, he really is from the Drake bloodline, and this bloodline power seems pretty unique. Who could have left this lineage behind? Let me think. A Black Dragon, one that either mutated or awakened to its ancient roots. Now, this is getting interesting Ashton, let’s see how far you can go.”
Queenie stretched lazily, musing.
