Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 493

Thinking of her Second Master's strict nature, she couldn't help but ask, "So, he doesn't know I'm here?"

She hadn't told any of her mentors about her mission, terrified they would worry themselves sick.

Fenton shook his head. "No. I went to the capital alone. Once I figured out where you went, I kept my mouth shut. I figured I'd assess the situation first."

He shifted gears. "What was that business with Lucian? You said you needed a person?"

Stella quickly outlined the situation regarding the young woman who had been trafficked five days ago.

Fenton's expression darkened with rage. "I see. No wonder you wanted to pull her out. These bastards deserve to burn. They specifically target people from Veridia. If we get the chance, we're tearing this whole place down."

Stella nodded firmly. "Exactly. It's a rare opportunity, and no matter what happens, I'm going to destroy this compound. I need to head back now. Be careful, and don't go back to Lucian's casino."

Fenton glared at her. "You think I actually wanted to waste my time with him? I only did it to find you as fast as possible."

Norma had told him that Stella flew into Port City, changed her route to the border, and then dropped completely off the grid.

He had mentored her long enough to know exactly why she went to Port City. Hell, he was the one who had taken her to live there for a month.

Since she had gone from Port City to the border and vanished, he deduced she must have uncovered some intel, stepped on the wrong toes, and gotten dragged out here.

If he wanted to track her down quickly, making a massive scene at Lucian's casino was the fastest way to do it.

He didn't just need to win; he needed to win loudly, flamboyantly, and drain as much cash as possible to grab her attention so she would come to him.

The strategy had worked flawlessly.

His student was entirely too brilliant to just get trapped here as a helpless victim. If she wasn't leaving, it meant she had the exact same plan her grandfather did.
