Chapter 4209
Creak...
Finally, at midnight, Jewel heard the door open. Her heart pounded as she moved to get up. Yet, at the sight of Yvette's outfit, she stopped short.
Yvette had taken off the dress she usually wore and swapped it out for an all-black outfit. She looked incredibly mysterious. It was like she was traveling in secret.
Jewel dodged to hide as she pondered that.
"Sister Yvette is behaving strangely by the day. Wearing all-black garb in the middle of the night? What is she up to?"
As she mumbled to herself, she saw Yvette soar into mid-air, taking off toward the city's north.
'Let's see what's going on.'
Jewel did not hesitate. She moved to follow her swiftly.
Yvette landed in an old temple in Mid City a few minutes later. The temple was extremely dilapidated, filled with overgrown grass. It was clear that no one had visited it in a long time.
Jewel still did not show herself then, choosing to watch silently from the sidelines.
Yvette had traveled with Darryl many times in the past and had seen many things in the world. From how Yvette was dressed, she could tell that she was on her way to meet someone. 1
That person had to be someone of abnormal status, too.
Just then, in the old temple.
Yvette made a round in the yard. Her heart pounded at the sight of the barren space around her, but she managed to muster up the courage to call out, "Where are you? Are you here?"
A short peal of laughter rang through the air following her words. It was closely followed by a handsome figure emerging from behind.
He was clad in white and oozed charisma.
It was Skylar.
What?
Jewel jerked in shock from her hiding place behind the temple. Her brain buzzed furiously, drawing a blank.
Yvette was meeting with Skylar?
What was going on?
Skylar was one of Archfiend Antigonus' minions and one of the High Master's biggest enemies. When had Yvette gotten close to him?
Even though she was shocked, Jewel wanted to get closer to find out more about the situation. Yet she feared Skylar's strength and kept her distance.
"Right on time, Miss Lane."
Skylar landed in front of her with a broad smile. "You got here just as I did."
Yvette could hardly care for small talk. "What do you want from me this time around?"
If it were not for the second half of the Reverse Fiend Soul Takeover spell, she would never have agreed to meet Skylar.
Skylar chucked, getting straight to the point. "Not much, just need your help with a little something!’ 1
"What is it?" Yvette's features remained utterly unmoving.
She had known from the start that Skylar would never have asked to see her without a purpose.
Skylar smiled lightly. "Let me tell you a secret. Lord Kenny and the New World Royals have joined the fiend race. Lord Kenny is leading his troop of soldiers to attack the North Moana Continent. They set out half a day ago."
What?
Yvette trembled when she heard the news. She stared at Skylar, shock all over her face.
