Chapter 1475
Whoever got their hands on the Jellyfish Seal became the helmsman of the organization. The reason K
hadn''t managed to get all ten elders to bow down to him was precisely because hecked this token.
And he had always felt that K was an ungrateful cur.
If it weren''t for the Holy Daughter taking him in back in the day, how would he have climbed so high on
thedder?
Yet, all these years, K had been obsessed with finding the Jellyfish Seal, never sparing a thought to
look for the Holy Daughter.
Maja helped him into the tent.
The tent was roughly forty square feet, just enough for a few people to lie down. But Maja, being a
woman, had ced all their medical supplies and food between her and the two men, drawing a line
between them.
She fed Quentin a fever-reducing pill.
"I''m worried you''ll spike a feverter; take one of these for now."
Quentin stared at the tent''s ceiling, thinking her hands were quite skillful to have set up such a ce.
"Maja, do you n on using the seal to return to the organization? Aren''t you afraid they all want you

dead?"
Majay down, her face etched with exhaustion.
"I saw Ian tonight. He might have been captured by the folks from Inner Ind. They haven''t returned
yet. I''ll have to check it out once it''s light."
"People from Inner Ind don''t hesitate to kill. If they really caught him, he might already be dead.
Aren''t you pregnant? Is Ian the father?"
"Yeah, I''ve been out of touch with him for a while now, and it''s making me anxious."
Quentin frowned, wondering if the prisoner under the Porter family''s watch was Ian.
With all themotion Ian had caused on Middle Ind, the Inner Ind ns must have marked him.
His resources were too vast; his entry into Inner Ind would mean a reshuffling of power there.
The families that had been settled for so long on Inner Ind wouldn''t tolerate a neer snatching
away their resources.
The strong dragon can''t ovee the local snake.
So, Ian was bound to be dealt with,beled with any old crime, and made a target among the families.
Yet he still caused such a stir on Middle Ind—was it to find Maja?
Quentin couldn''t understand such feelings. To be precise, he didn''t quite get any human emotions.
He became Mr. Ger at a young age precisely because he never acted on impulse.
His foster father always said he was the most reliable because he was a child born without feelings.
Killing only made him crazier.
If he hadn''t been worried about blowing his cover that night, those men would probably have been
wiped out by now, and he wouldn''t have been shot. He hesitated for a second, and then Maja returned.
The oue wasn''t too bad.
The boiling urge to kill within him was soothed.
He still kept himself well hidden.
"Maja, do you always carry that Jellyfish Seal with you?"
He asked the question expecting Maja might refuse to answer.
After all, they weren''t even friends.
Maja had already closed her eyes, but at his question, she still replied, "It''s not on me."
"Yeah, that''s why tonight I let it slip to them that it''s in the Mental Hospital of South District on Outer
Ind."
Quentin''s mouth twitched.
He wondered if she was avenging Patric or had another motive. New chаpter av?ble on

"Maja, you don''t seem to like Patric much, so why do this?"
Why would she specify that the item was in the Mental Hospital of South District?
"I don''t like Patric, true, but he''s Ian''s biological brother. I couldn''t just watch him die."
"You seem pretty decent to this Ian."
His game wasn''t over yet. He hadn''t driven her to utter despair. So he couldn''t reveal his true identity.
