Gideon was well aware of the situation at hand. Having already disregarded commands and arrived late in Aurous Hill, he couldn’t risk disobeying again unless he had a persuasive justification. If he complied, it meant he would head straight to Willow Estates and eliminate the slumbering Evans Family along with their protectors. Such a monumental action would undoubtedly send shockwaves throughout the world.

Aurous Hill, being the epicenter of the incident, would inevitably plunge into an unprecedented state of martial law. But then, how could he uncover clues about Zachary and his gang?

To buy himself more time, the best course of action was to proactively discuss the enchanted artifact. After all, the artifact held great value not only for himself but also for the Lord.

Gideon desired to retain the piece of lightning-struck wood, capable of summoning thunder from the heavens. He also planned to reveal the ring, hoping it would grant him a few extra days of respite from the Lord’s wrath.

When Gideon mentioned the term ‘enchanted artifact,’ the Lord paused for a brief moment, then inquired coldly, “You acquired an enchanted artifact? What kind of artifact?”

Gideon explained, “My Lord, this subordinate stumbled upon a dealer selling off antiques. They had recently excavated an ancient tomb in Aurous Hill and were selling the treasures. One of them was a Quintong Dynasty jade finger ring, which conceals a complete formation within!”

The Lord immediately inquired, “What does it do? Have you tested the effects of the formation?”

Gideon replied, “The formation is a passive acupuncture technique. I speculate that it possesses some form of passive power.”

Surprised, the Lord exclaimed, “Is this true?”

With unwavering determination, Gideon asserted, “My Lord, I would never deceive you… If you doubt me, allow me to complete my mission and I will retrieve this enchanted artifact for your inspection!”

The Lord paused briefly, smiled and remarked, “Gideon, it seems you harbor selfish intentions towards me.”

Gideon hurriedly responded, “I would never dare, my Lord! Initially, I intended to confirm its authenticity and then report to you. In addition, I believe that obtaining a few additional magical artifacts and offering them to you would be an outstanding accomplishment.”

The Lord sneered and stated, “Since that is the case, you have ambition. Very well, I shall grant you three additional days. If you manage to find more magical artifacts, your return shall be met with great credit. However, if you fail to locate any such artifacts, you must not delay any further. After three days, the entire Evans family must be eradicated!”

Gideon breathed a sigh of relief, for he had won. The three-day window should provide ample time to delve deep into Zachary’s gang. If he stumbled upon superior magical artifacts, he would discard the mediocre ones and present only the finest to the Lord. However, if he failed to uncover any superior alternatives, he would have no choice but to bring back the jade ring. Yet, even with this artifact, he could still seize a potentially life-changing opportunity by exchanging it for a substantial fortune.

Ten minutes later, deep in the Russian Far East, Zeba found herself in a state of tranquil meditation. Like a melodic tune, she temporarily resided in this serene oasis. For individuals like her and Gideon, who had mastered the art of reiki, sleep was no longer a rigid necessity. Instead, they chose to utilize their slumber time for meditation and deep breathing.

Despite the absence of any residual reiki for their assimilation and transformation, they comprehended the significance of honing the immaculate of their own aura through these rituals.

Just as Zeba delved into her meditative state, her cell phone abruptly vibrated, jolting her awake from her peaceful reverie. The phone only accepted calls from the Lord and the other Marshals.
