“Alright, since both of them are unwilling, let’s drop the matter,” Seamus finally spoke.
“Young man, you’re not only courageous but also possess an outstanding character. Your unwavering commitment to your principles is truly admirable. If you encounter trouble in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.”
“Thank you, Sir Mosey!” Dustin immediately expressed his gratitude with a bow.
Dahlia sighed in relief. At the same time, she became curious about the seemingly ordinary man before her. Even though she wasn’t one to rely on her appearance, being rejected was an unfamiliar experience.
Unknowingly, she felt a twinge of jealousy as she thought about the man’s fiancée. It wasn’t easy to find such a capable and devoted man.
“I hope you won’t regret your choice,” Anders said in a lowered voice, his gaze growing more hostile. Dustin had inadvertently disrupted two of his plans in a row. What a stroke of misfortune! His hatred for him would not be resolved until he was dealt with.
“Come, everyone, enjoy the food and drinks. Don’t be shy,” Seamus called out, bringing the mood back to being lively.
Despite the incident, the celebration continued undisturbed. However, Dustin became the center of attention for many.
Since he had effortlessly subdued the Onyxclaw and declined the Veros Warrior’s marriage proposal, he seemed anything but ordinary. After a hearty meal, Seamus temporarily excused himself from the party to rest.
The guests moved from the ballroom to the lounge, enjoying spectacular performances arranged by the Moseys. Meanwhile, Dustin and Abigail followed the flow, maintaining a calm presence without drawing undue attention.
Their sole responsibility was to monitor Anders’ movements in case of unforeseen developments. The actual thief who would be stealing the Emerald Corolla was someone else entirely-Azalea, a master of the Face- Changing Art.
Azalea was once a disciple of the Dark Lord who later turned away from her dark path and became Abigail’s bodyguard.
After Abigail’s true abilities were awakened and she returned to the Mystic Arts Order, Azalea was also put in an important position.
In order to execute their plan more effectively, Abigail spared no effort in bringing Azalea from afar. She had been responsible for both Dustin and Abigail’s disguises.
“Dustin, there’s good news!”
At that moment, Abigail glanced at her phone and said happily, “Azalea just messaged, confirming that she has successfully obtained the Emerald Corolla. We can leave at any time.”
“Oh, that was smooth.” Dustin raised an eyebrow, pleasantly surprised. He had specially prepared two plans in case something went wrong, but it seemed like they wouldn’t be necessary.
“When Anders went to change earlier, he conveniently left the Emerald Corolla in his room. Azalea disguised herself as a Mosey member, effortlessly infiltrating the room and securing the Emerald Corolla,” Abigail explained.
“What luck!” Dustin’s expression brightened, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With the Emerald Corolla in hand, he now had all three medicinal herbs required to refine the Sanctifix successfully. Tomorrow, he was going to awaken Cinna.
When the time came, he would uncover the truth behind the events from ten years ago. Regardless of who the enemy was, he would make them pay!
