Since the door wasn’t completely shut yet, Selena Kensington saw the expression on Silvester Norwood’s face in the instant Sterling Norwood closed the door.
He seed sowhat pensive.
Selena Kensington furrowed her brows slightly, feeling a bit puzzled.
What kind of eting would make Silvester Norwood show such an expression?
After all, the Silvester Norwood Selena had seen before was always efficient, poised, and calm.
She had rarely seen Silvester Norwood display such a grave expression.
Selena Kensington managed to suppress her curiosity and waited in the office for Sterling Norwood to return.
However, after a few minutes, she started to feel bored.
Just as Selena was about to pick up her phone for a casual scroll, another text ssage ca in.
Seeing the sender’s phone number suffix, Selena’s eyes darkened.
She was not unfamiliar with this number.
It belonged to Cole Vaughn.
Ever since she ignored Cole Vaughn last ti, he had seemingly remained silent for quite a while.
But now, he started sending her ssages again.
This ti, Selena didn’t avoid it, she opened the ssage to read it.
The text read: Even if you are really confident about suppressing Sterling Norwood, have you considered your other identity? Beyond your identity as a mber of the Celestial Masters Clan.
"..."
Selena Kensington remained silent upon reading the ssage, her intuition telling her it wouldn’t be a good identity.
Selena sighed softly, raised her hand, and began typing on her phone: I don’t need another identity.
After she finished this ssage, she clicked to send it off.
As soon as the ssage was successfully sent, another text from Cole Vaughn ca in.
Upon reading its content, Selena’s eyes trembled.
The phone in her hand even dropped uncontrollably to the ground.
Even though it fell, Selena could still see the ssage content: You are an experint subject too.
These six words clearly registered in Selena’s vision.
Causing her mind to blank out for a mont.
How is that possible?!
How could she be an experint subject?
Selena’s first thought was that it was absurd.
Yet, she knew that although Cole Vaughn might be on the opposing side, for so reason, Selena believed that Cole Vaughn wouldn’t lie to her.
Cole Vaughn sent another text: Perhaps you won’t believe it, but from the mont you were born, marks were put on you externally. The people who helped deliver your mother in the hospital where you were born, and the nurses who cared for you, are our people. From the mont of your birth, we’ve been plotting a very large ga. And you, are the center of it.
When Selena read the text, she could no longer care about other people.
Her mind was in chaos, and she picked up her phone to reply to Cole Vaughn: What the hell do you want to do?!
This ti, Cole Vaughn replied quickly.
And the reply was just two simple words: Godsbane.
Despite being just two simple words, they carried imnse ambition.
Selena Kensington didn’t understand how she could be an experint subject when everything about her was normal.
It’s impossible for her to be a fake...
Because she clearly knew that the Heavenly Master Power within her repelled fakes, if she were a fake, the Heavenly Master Power wouldn’t have remained unresponsive for so long.
So, what Cole Vaughn ant by experint subject might have another layer.
The purpose of the Godsbane Organization is to bury gods.
And the current descendants of the Fell Bloodline, were fierce and savage beings in the Ancient Wilds era, each with divine blessings in so asure, recognized by the laws.
So, is the Godsbane Organization trying to... wipe out all descendants of the Fell Bloodline?
Selena Kensington was stunned by her own speculation.
Because it’s such a terrifying goal.
Not to ntion how the Godsbane Organization intends to achieve it, just the goal itself is enough to instill dread.
Because the abilities of the descendants of the Fell Bloodline are unknown, their bloodline is special.
Moreover, should the need arise, they would choose to submit to The Beast Lord and collectively drive away their enemies.
So, has the Godsbane Organization been preparing all these years for this goal?
What is the leader, Kull, so spiteful towards the descendants of the Fell Bloodline?
Selena Kensington lifted her hand to send Cole Vaughn a ssage: And what about you, what role do you play in all of this?
This ti, there was no reply from Cole Vaughn for a long ti.
Selena didn’t know what to do, so she reviewed the ssages Cole Vaughn sent again and then deleted them.
Just after she finished this, Sterling Norwood pushed the door open and entered.
He saw Selena still holding the sa stance, with an exhausted look in her eyes, and asked, "Didn’t I tell you to go inside and get so rest?"
Seeing Sterling Norwood co in, Selena tidied the expression on her face, then managed a smile, "I wanted to wait for you here."
Hearing this, Sterling Norwood smiled as well.
"Do you want to eat sothing? I’ll have soone buy it for you."
Selena paused, then smiled, "Why are you being so generous all of a sudden?"
"A reward for you."
Since Sterling Norwood said so, Selena didn’t refuse further.
She feared that continuing the conversation might reveal the thoughts in her mind.
So she quickly listed so nas.
Sterling Norwood noted them down and passed them to the internal line.
Once this was done, Selena stood up and walked to Sterling Norwood’s side.
She asked with so confusion, "Was today’s eting difficult?"
Sterling Norwood paused slightly, then shook his head, "Not difficult."
"Then why did I just see Silvester’s expression looking so heavy..."
Selena muttered.
Hearing this, Sterling Norwood held Selena’s hand and pulled her into his embrace, "There are so matters, but don’t worry."
"What matters?"
Selena turned to look at him.
Sterling Norwood stared at her for a few seconds, then slightly averted his gaze and said, "Zoe Sinclair is about to leave Aethelgard."
"What?"
Selena exclaid in surprise.
"Didn’t she join The Imperial Academy of Sciences? Why is she leaving?"
If Zoe Sinclair leaves, then Cole Vaughn and that woman are surely going to leave as well...
No wonder Cole Vaughn would voluntarily warn her, even telling her those things...
Turns out they’re preparing to withdraw.
"The Imperial Academy of Sciences is initiating a joint project with The D-Nation, and the representative for this project is Zoe Sinclair."
Sotis nations indeed jointly complete a research project.
And there have been no shortage of precedents for joint projects between The D-Nation and The Empire previously.
So the ergence of this project isn’t actually surprising.
The surprise lies in the timing of its ergence, and moreover, the involvent of Zoe Sinclair.
Zoe Sinclair and her associates are now confird to be people from the Godsbane Organization.
"Zoe Sinclair leaving at this ti indicates we’ve almost completed our investigation..."
Sterling Norwood muttered.
Selena had been musing, hearing Sterling Norwood’s words unclearly.
She was puzzled and asked, "Hmm? What did you just say?"
