Chapter 123


    “Stop! Don’t touch him!”


    Themand sliced through the air. It was as if a thunderp froze the crowd mid–surge.


    Instinctively, the crowd turned to see who had spoken. From the hotel entrance, a group


    approached swiftly.


    1/1


    At their forefront was a tall woman in a ck miniskirt. Though she looked barely out of her


    twenties, an undeniable aura ofmand clung to her.

    Her bright eyes, fair skin, and cascading hair only added to her authoritative aura, naturally


    compelling others to avert their gaze in deference.


    Following closely behind her were a dozen men in suits, each with a sharp gaze. They marched


    forward with synchronized movements. Their presence radiated an intimidating aura that made


    onlookers wary


    The crowd was now filled with confusion and uncertainty about the woman’s identity, yet they


    hesitated to act rashly.


    “Who are you?” jordan demanded, eyeing the woman curiously.


    “The Cadwell family from Divinopolis!” the woman dered with pride.


    “The Cadwell family from Divinopolis!”


    The revtion sent a shockwave through the crowd.


    The Cadwell family from Divinopolis was a behemoth, ranked eighth among the formidable families


    in Dragotha.


    In contrast, the locally dominant Hunter family in Wave City might be the top family in their region,


    but they ranked well beyond so on a broader scale across Dragotha


    This disparity highlighted the vast difference in stature between them, akin to the gap between


    heaven and earth


    After recovering from his initial shock, Jordan quickly adopted a charming smile. “I’m Jordan, the


    second son of the Hunter family from Wave City. May I have the pleasure of knowing how to


    address you, miss?”


    The woman did not acknowledze Jordan’s inquiry, instead walling directly toward Sebastian. “You


    are Mr. Sebastian Wilder, correct?”!


    “I’m Sebastian, but I don’t believe we’ve met.” Sebastian responded, his eyes narrowing as he


    scrutinized the unfair woman.


    With an enchanting smile, the woman replied, “Mr. Wilder, our madam has sent me to fetch you.


    “I’ve had no dealings with the Cadwell family, so I am not acquainted with your madam. Could there


    be some mistake? Sebastian asked, his confusion evident.


    The woman’s smile remained. “Your father was Jackson Wilder, and your mother was Yuliana


    Zatch. Am 1 correct?”


    Sebastian’s demeanor changed abruptly, as a glint of coldness shed in his eyes. “You’ve been


    investigating mel


    His parents had died when he was very young, and he had been raised in seclusion by his teacher


    in the mountains.


    Very few people knew his parents‘ names, not even 15


    The woman sensed his unease and hastened her exnation. “Mr. Wilder, please don’t


    misunderstand. I mean no harm. Our madam and your mother were sworn sisters. If you don’t


    believe me, perhaps this photograph will convince you.”


    She produced an old photograph and handed it to him.


    The photo depicted two young women, both strikingly beautiful and in their twenties.


    Sebastian’s skepticism faded as he looked at the photo,


    He recognized one of the women as his mother because he possessed a simr photo, a cherished


    keepsake from her


    “I believe you, but I have some matters to attend to here first. Once I’m finished, I’ll visit Divinopolis


    to see Aunt Lucy,” Sebastian said, referring to the woman in the photo who his mother had


    mentioned during his childhood.


    “Mr. Wilder, it’s truly urgent. Our madam insists on seeing you right away,” the woman insisted.


    “But what I’m dealing with is also of utmost importance. We can discuss this after I’m done.”


    Sebastian responded, his tone resolute


    He needed to use Elena to secure the two pieces of the amulet, which was his immediate priority.


    “Mr. Wilder, what could be more important than finding out about your mother?” the woman


    pressed, persistent in her effort.


    “What? There’s news about my mother?” Sebastian eximed, suddenly gripping the woman’s


    shoulders tightly.


    He lost his father to a terrible illness when he was just four or five. A year or twoter, his mother


    fell from act but her body was never found.


    Despite his efforts, he had found no clues about her over the years. He suspected that wild animals


    had likely carried away her body, erasing any traces
