Chapter 758: Chapter 718: Secret (1 more update)

"The mountain next to the Divinity Temple disappeared suddenly a year ago, and there were a lot of rumors flying around among the locals. Eventually, people here blew it up into something so mysterious that more than a dozen wizards were called in to check the Feng Shui and perform various rituals. Afterward, nothing unlucky happened, so our River East Village became a special tourist spot. As you can see, our village has become much livelier, and even the government has invested in improving the roads and infrastructure. They say the future development of our mountain county hinges on River East Village..."

Chloe ate the meal Fred Foster had prepared, listening to him talk about the development of River East Village.

"Actually, Grandfather doesn’t like all this noise, but the village needs to develop, and it’s a good thing for everyone."

Looking out the window, Fred could see groups of people heading in the direction of the Divinity Temple. He still hoped these people wouldn’t disturb the temple.

Chloe listened to Fred’s words and said, "The Divinity Temple belongs to the Foster Family. You can just stop them."

Fred sighed, "Village and county officials have already discussed it with Grandfather."

Chloe finished the food in her mouth, "I’ll have someone handle it. There’s no reason to let someone else profit from and occupy our ancestral heritage."

Fred reacted, "Do you mean to ask Len to handle it?"

"The Stephens Family hasn’t become so weak that we can’t even protect our own things."

Chloe signaled for 003 to stand guard, and 003 unexpectedly became one of the biggest attractions in the village.

Temporarily putting aside the village matters, Fred stared at Chloe for a moment and asked, "Little Chloe, where have you been this year?"

"I’ve been far away."

"..."

Although Adam Stephens and others didn’t say anything, Fred could see it.

Apart from Chloe, they had all visited him several times in turns.

They lied without blinking when he asked them, thinking he was easy to fool.

Chloe didn’t rush to leave River East Village.

She was waiting here for Len Hawthorne.

So she stayed to deal with the Divinity Temple’s affairs.

A phone call went out, and the next day, people arrived to install fences around the perimeter of the Divinity Temple. 003 also patrolled the area around the Divinity Temple.

Whoever dared to go to the Divinity Temple would face the consequences.

Receiving the phone call, Nicholas Lincoln immediately put down his work and rushed over with his assistant, Rosewood Campbell, to handle things for Chloe.

Once the protection around the Divinity Temple was in place, Nicholas arrived at Fred’s place to see Chloe, "Miss Chloe Stephens, we’ve completed the protective measures. I don’t know if there’s anything else you need to add..."

"Add a layer of explosion-proof glass."

Nicholas hurried off to make the arrangements.

Fred felt relieved now, "Big companies sure handle things differently."

"The company will take over River East Village’s tourism industry. Whatever we do is decided by our own people. If there are any old items that need to be preserved, the village can submit a request."

With a single phone call, Chloe solved Fred’s troubles without even involving the Stephens Family.

Fred had to attend a meeting at the temple hall in the village during the day, which was about 003’s various activities.

Chloe sat quietly in the ancestral house, feeling the changes after her cultivation had been removed.

Fred returned, coming in the door and talking about the outcome of the meeting.

"The Divinity Temple can be admired through the glass, but 003 needs to show itself. I don’t think it’s a bad thing, so I agreed. 003 will follow me as usual. Little Chloe, what do you think about the 003 situation..."

"You make the decision. I’m going out for a bit."

"Are you not eating dinner? It’s getting dark."

"You go ahead."

Having said that, she was already walking away.

County town.

Chloe appeared on the sidewalk next to the traffic flow, stopping slowly under a tree. The flow of cars around her gradually increased, with the flickering lights casting on her figure.

The summer night carried a stifling heat.

Even the wind was mixed with hot air.

It blew on the girl’s cold cheeks and through her clothes.

Under the night light, there was an extreme beauty.

She stood there in silence.

A slender figure slowly walked towards her, the dark aura emanating from his body surged towards her like the black mist of the night. On this stretch of road, there were no pedestrians, only the flow of cars.

As the slender figure came closer, she saw that he was wearing a black cloak with a hood, which made him stand out in such hot weather.

His lips were smooth, and his jawline was cold and hard...

Even with only the lower half of his face showing, one could guess that he must be good-looking.

Though wrapped up tightly, it was easy to feel the cold chill of the night emanating from his body.

Ordinary people might suffocate and lose consciousness in his presence.

He stood beside the girl, watching the flow of cars.

"Honorable Emperor."

His voice was deep and powerful.

Chloe Stephens didn’t look at him, "Awake now."

"I have the Honorable Emperor to thank for this. If it weren’t for you, I would have thought I was just an ordinary person."

"The grudge between the two realms has been settled, we should let that matter rest too."

The man smiled, showing a touch of cold wickedness: "You don’t plan on telling King White, do you?"

"Once my blood touches the heavenly curse, not only will it destroy your Eight Great Royal Forces and the two Divine Realms, but also the so-called ancient martial artists." Only ordinary people would be left.

"Aren’t you afraid I might..."

"You can try."

Chloe Stephens turned around, and under the night light, their eyes met briefly.

Both of their gazes were dark and unfathomable.

The man laughed: "I see. But is it really worth it for you to go to such lengths for him?"

"Austin Godfrey and the others have also asked me if it’s worth it. I’m a very extreme person, so don’t provoke me. You cannot bear the consequences. I just want to live a peaceful life now. I hope that our secret remains buried in that time." Chloe turned away and walked back the way she came, her voice faintly heard: "I hope you’ll carry our secret with you forever, hiding your true identity, Rafael Woods."

The black figure behind her slowly raised his hand and performed an ancient salute towards the departing girl, slightly bending over, "I hope everything will go as you wish, Honorable Emperor."

As the words fell, the black figure also turned and left in the opposite direction.

Two separate figures, like strangers without intersection, parted ways.

Back in River East Village.

Chloe saw the stunning man standing at the entrance of the village, smiling at her as if wiping away all the gloominess and lighting up her darkness.

She pursed her lips, watching him stride towards her.

"Little Chloe! Does my return make you speechless?" It was still Len Hawthorne!

He smiled and pulled the girl into his arms.

Chloe nestled in his embrace, following his movement.

"You tricked them."

"Huh?" Len stroked her head, startled, "How did I trick them?"

"Your blood covenant."

Len Hawthorne smiled without answering.

Chloe closed her eyes slightly, not asking further.

Whether it was true or not didn’t matter anymore.

"They say one becomes red when close to cinnabar but black when close to ink. Am I excelling my teacher?" Len laughed, admitting that he had indeed tricked them.

After the destruction, he could still use his powers to suppress them all in another dimension, including both Divine Realms. The price he had paid was something only he knew.

Chloe smiled faintly, "Len Hawthorne, if they dare to come again..."

"There’s no such possibility."

Len Hawthorne seemed to be assuring her, holding her tightly as he looked up at the stars in the night sky.

Chloe leaned against his chest and looked up at the starry sky, her thin lips suddenly curving into a smile that was somewhat bewitching!
