Chapter 1851 Dalton and Wynter

After cleaning up the shattered sacred statue, the old man sensed that the soul that had possessed Virgil had now perished. His eyes darkened with contemplation. Virgil's possession had been his doing. Back then, he had instructed Kiaran to deliver a glass of water to Virgil. Once Virgil lost consciousness, the old man used a secret technique to facilitate the soul's possession of his body. Now, sensing the soul's dissipation, the old man was certain that during interrogation, Virgil must have spoken of him, triggering the soul-burning curse he had secretly placed—a contingency that had now served its purpose. Just then, Kiaran entered the office and noticed the sacred statue's fragments in the old man's hands. Though unaware of what had transpired, he knew this statue was the old man's most treasured possession. For it to shatter now... Suppressing his emotions, the old man turned to Kiaran. "Kiaran, cancel the upcoming meeting. Take me back to the courtyard now." Kiaran nodded.
