The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 332

Chapter 332 Vyrdenian’s Leaders

Half an hour later, the three arrived at the entrance of a sprawling estate on the outskirts of Regalhold.

Raven stood before the estate, her gaze fixed on the massive gates and the plaque above them.

“Cloudcrest Manor? Hiemaly, is this the place you mentioned yesterday, where all those big shots gather in Vyrdenia? Raven asked.

Hiemaly, who had been giving Cassian the cold shoulder the entire trip, finally softened his expression.

He nodded slightly at Raven. “Yeah, at least four of the top ten global powers will have their leaders or high–ranking representatives here. Plus, several empires have sent key figures to attend.”

Raven’s eyes flickered with a hint of doubt. “If it’s such an important gathering, why would they choose Vyrdenia as the location?”

“Because the focus of this meeting is a treasure box, and that box was discovered in an ancient tomb on one of Vyrdenia’s islands,” Hiemaly explained.

Raven suddenly recalled the intel she’d picked up in the military prison: an ancient tomb belonging to a Starborne ancestor had been found on an island within Vyrdenia’s territorial waters. The Sunset Empire, along with the Oscea Empire and Starlight Empires, had taken three sealed boxes from the site.

So one of those treasure boxes would show up here at Cloudcrest Manor today.

Vyrdenia’s treasures were taken by other nations, only to be brought back here as they search for a way to unlock the box. Even though Raven didn’t feel much attachment to Vyrdenia, the whole situation left her feeling oddly irritated. Raven turned to Hiemaly and asked, “So, the whole point of this gathering is to figure out how to open the box?” Hiemaly nodded slightly. “Rumor has it the box might contain a way to the Upper World–the one closest to us, where we lived in our past lives. If that’s true, we might finally have a way back.”

Raven nods slightly before asking, “Who has the box now?”

“Lunshire, the world’s fourth–ranked faction. Their leader, Helena, brought it personally.”

Raven raised an eyebrow. “Helena? You mean the so–called third most beautiful person in the world?”

Hiemaly hummed in agreement but quickly shook his head. “Overrated. Honestly, she is not that impressive in person.* Raven shot Hiemaly a skeptical glance, her doubt written all over her face.

She knew all too well how peculiar Hiemaly’s taste could be.

Honestly, she felt that aside from her and their mom, Hiemaly probably didn’t think anyone else was attractive.

Hiemaly noticed the disbelief on Raven’s face, reached out to gently ruffle her hair, and said, “Let’s head in.”

Without waiting for a response, he walked straight to the manor’s entrance and handed an invitation to the staff on duty. A receptionist quickly stepped forward and led the three of them inside.

The three of them were soon escorted to the grand hall at the heart of the estate.

Just as they were about to step inside, a bright, cheerful laugh echoed from within.
