Upon hearing Kamryn’s proposal, L remained calm on the surface but felt a sense of mockery inside.


    Was the conflict between himself and Kevin and other skilled members of the Willis family really irreconcble?


    Kamryn didn’t know that his hatred for the Willis family was unrelenting, especially when it came to avenging his parents’ deaths. However, L didn’t say anything and simply furrowed his brow while listening in silence.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    After all, Kamryn wasn’t aware of these things! Even Kevin didn’t know everything.


    “Mr. L, what do you think?” Kamryn asked him after finishing his proposal and looking at L’s expression with a probing look.


    L nced at Kamryn and pondered for a long time before nodding silently.


    “We can give it a try! As long as they are willing to hand over my wife and child, I don’t have any objections to your idea for now,” he said.


    In any case, he wanted to retrieve Miranda and Nora first and foremost.


    However, deep down, L had never intended to let Kevin and his aplices go. Ever since he learned from Colt that Kevin was the great-grandson of Wicked Bone, he had made up his mind to ensure Kevin’s demise. He wanted Wicked Bone to experience the pain of losing loved ones.


    That night…


    “How is the entrance to the ruins?” Kamryn asked the officer guarding the cave, apanied by Simeon and others.


    L didn’te along this time!


    To put it inly, he was no longer interested in the ruins. His mind was filled with concern for Miranda and Nora.


    He tried calling Miranda’s phone again, but no one answered. He didn’t know if Kevin had deactivated the phone or if they couldn’t pick up while on the road. Theck of contact made L anxious.


    As for Phoebe, she turned her attention back to L and continued to watch him.


    “Regarding your question, the strength of the barrier at the entrance seems… unchanged,” the officer reported.


    “Oh?” Kamryn furrowed his brow and walked over, reaching into the shimmering light barrier to feel it.


    A look of confusion and disbelief appeared on his face!


    Indeed, the strength of the barrier remained the same as when they arrived earlier today. It didn’t appear to have weakened at all…


    “Deputy Governor, you said that the strength of the barrier was gradually weakening before we arrived?” Kamryn turned to Elijah and asked.


    The deputy governor, who was initially in charge here, nodded and said, “Yes, it was getting weaker day by day! Even within the same day, there were changes between morning and night.”


    “Then why did it suddenly stop changing today?” Kamryn asked, puzzled.


    “I… I don’t know. I don’t understand these things either,” the deputy governor replied with a wry smile and a shake of his head.


    Kamryn furrowed his brow, unable toprehend the situation at hand. He had previously thought that the weakening barrier indicated that the Enigma Ruins would soon open. But now, with the sudden halt in changes, when would they be able to enter and uncover the truth?


    Next, Kamryn carefully inquired about the recent circumstances, including any abnormal urrences that were worth noting. He hoped to deduce the factors that caused the barrier to weaken.


    After a while, after listening to the ounts of the deputy governor and several subordinates who often guarded the entrance, a middle-aged officer named Ollie, who was once a master in the field of geomancy before joining the military, wore a pensive expression. He had a reputation for being an extraordinary person recruited by the military.


    Ollie, from the details provided by these individuals, noticed several noteworthy points. When he connected them, he vaguely guessed at some clues.


    First, the barrier weakened when many soldiers died in this camp. Whether it was the Cobra Syndicate seizing control of the entrance from the Fiercetalon Armed Syndicate or thetterunching a counterattack, there were significant casualties.


    Second, the soldiers guarding the entrance often felt a strange cold breeze during that period. It was worth noting that this urred in a rtively enclosed space within the cave, and no one knew where this cold breeze came from.


    “Could it be that the barrier at the entrance of these ruins needs to absorb souls to gradually weaken and open?” Ollie spected, his voice filled with contemtion.


    Kamryn raised an eyebrow and asked, “Oh? Please borate.”


    Ollie then mentioned the two noteworthy points and shared his spection and analysis.


    In his view, the reason the barrier weakened continuously in the days prior was because arge number of people died here and their souls were absorbed by the barrier.


    However, in recent days, there had been no battles, and all the souls had already been absorbed, which was why the barrier hadn’t changed.


    After hearing this, everyone present looked puzzled and uncertain.


    “So, are you saying that more people need to die in order to open this barrier?” Elijah furrowed his brow and asked.


    Ollie shrugged nomittally, “I’m just specting.”


    Meanwhile, Kamryn’s expression kept changing as he thought about the events of the previous day. Fiercetalon’s hideout waspletely wiped out, bodies strewn everywhere. Could it be that someone…


    A night passed without anymunication.


    The next morning, L received an unfamiliar call, causing him to startle from his sleepless night. Phoebe, who had been watching L closely, could see the tension in his face.


    “Hello?” L quickly answered, his voice deep and serious.


    “Hehe, getting anxious, huh?” came Kevin’s slightly sinister voice from the other end, apanied by the sound of sniffing.


    “Have you arrived?” L asked, taking a deep breath.


    “I have! Bring Colt ande to… what the hell is this ce called?” Kevin seemed to ask someone nearby, then chuckled, “Come to Tike Valley! You cane alone or bring whoever you want, even bring an army. I wee it all. Hahaha, if negotiations don’t work out, I can always kill more people.”


    Towards the end, he became unabashedly arrogant.


    “I think we cane to an agreement! I wille as soon as possible,” L calmly responded, suppressing his inner desire for revenge.


    Two hourster…


    Two military vehicles arrived in a valley, and L, Kamryn, Phoebe, and others got out of the cars.


    In a house located in the valley, Kevin sat there, leaning back on the couch with an expression of enjoyment.


    On the table in front of him, there were remnants of white powder.


    “This ce is amazing! I’ve never experienced such purity!”


    “So exhrating!”


    Kevin rxed for a moment and grinned.


    Beside him, the middle-aged woman and others looked at him and silently shook their heads.


    Even if they were Golden Core experts, being so unrestrained would likely damage their brains sooner orter.


    On the other side, Miranda had already woken up, her entire body bound by iron chains.
