Diamond felt quite surreal as she was escorted by Lennox, laughing and giggling, while ignoring the complicated gazes of her two dearests.
The two of them had gotten very closer, which was the fastest friendship she had ever had in her entire life.
Adding a powerful friend to the list made her very happy, and she wasn’t bothered much about showing it.
"Don’t worry, Nox. When I have time, let me cook a meal for you. I make good dishes and you will surely love them," Diamond patted Lennox shoulder assuredly, promising him to a meal.
For Diamond, preparing a meal for a friend is considered a grand gesture. Her current circle consists of very busy people, who at times don’t even have time to make a cup of coffee for themselves.
Setting aside time to prepare ingredients and cook a meal, if that is not honor and love, then what is it?
Lennox didn’t expect to receive a promise of a meal, and he felt happy. He had watched a few clips of her cooking and the food looked quite delicious. It should taste good in real life, right?
"I will look forward to it."
Diamond was very happy to hear that, and planned to boast about her skills in reassurance, "You_" however, man proposes and god disposes.
As she was about to do so, the ding in her head cut all the words out and her expression turned serious, upon receiving an urgent mission.
[Ding! We are already half-way through the mission. So don’t give up now. It has been detected that Zara, your target has acquired a crucial relic and is currently in bind. She doesn’t have much time to live, and your main mission is to help her until the very end.
She has only a fortnight to find the next relic and failure to do would result in her ultimate death. Go and be a heroine. Go and help save the day.
As long as you help until the very end, your rewards will be very rich.]
The mission was quite shocking, and unexpected.
Never in a million years did she expect or even think that she would be forced to board a pirate ship until the very end.
She simply thought that she had done her part by bringing the dagger to her and conceding the bracelet over. but now, she was being dragged till the very end. Just when will she get rid of the curse?
How long would that take?
If she doesn’t help, then if Zara end up dying, then wouldn’t her death be on her head?
The more she thought about the matter, the more she became gloomy, sending panic and worry to the three men currently with her.
"Babe, what’s wrong? What’s happening?" Nolan’s worried voice rang into her ears and that jolted her back to reality, reminding her that she was still with others.
She smiled wryly at the three of them, and seeing the worry on their faces, she honestly didn’t know how to explain the matter.
There was urgency in the mission. since the system was very certain that Zara has a fortnight to find the next relic or she dies, it also means that perhaps tonight was also included. If that was the case, Zara was running out time.
She has to be with Zara now, and not delay a second further. And yet that couldn’t be fully explained to the three of them.
Seeing the complex glint in her eyes, the three mature men had an inkling that something was wrong or she had thought about something in the middle of talking.
"Diamond, you don’t have to worry about us. If there is something urgent, then go ahead and do it. We can manage," Lennox was the first to break the ice, and she looked at him appreciatively before forcing a smile on her face.
"I am afraid that I have to leave you guys. There is something important I just remembered that I need to do. Once I am done with the matter, I will accompany you," she apologetically told them, thinking inwardly about telling them once she had checked with Zara that she might not be available for a while.
After all, who knows when the curse will officially be removed?
Not only them, but her family as well.
This system really knows how to give others surprises. Her time was running out.
Seeing that the matter sounded a bit serious, none of the three dared to make things difficult for her. they could only let her go.
As a result, all the plans that have been made were completely canceled.
They could only watch as Diamond left in one of those ominous black SUVs that got Lennox thinking.
’Why do I sense a ghostly aura on those cars?’ not knowing how nearly correct he was.
----****----
Sometime later.
Radiance Manor
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Miss, it’s me, Emma. Miss Diamond is here and is saying that she must meet you!" Emma said without entering the door.
’Diamond! There is her!’

’She knows. She knows everything. Thank goodness!’ and the floodgates opened.
