After descending to the pits of despair, the newfound hope set her aflame.
“Is the news true? Have you verified it?” asked Nami.
“President Mestre personally informed us. She just left,” said the guard.
“Go and invite President Mestre to the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce most respectfully. Go now!”
“Yes!”
After leaving the plane, Su Wan didn’t stay in the territory for long and immediately rushed to Canglan City with Xu Yuan.
This trip to Canglan City felt different from before. President Nami had news about the Crimson Moon. If possible, Su Wan would try to establish a friendship with the higher-ups of the Crimson Moon.
Her territory was on the brink of change. She could use this opportunity to cooperate and build a friendship. She could make a fortune out of it!
Su Wan flew with Xu Yuan in the afterglow of the setting sun. They would arrive in Canglan City that evening.
They finally arrived. A middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce bowed to her and Xu Yuan. He gestured to the carriage he had prepared for them to be taken inside.
Su Wan wasn’t surprised. God’s heart was of immense importance to Bartos and to Nami. Su Wan was a bit baffled that Nami hadn’t rushed to her territory herself to get the heart.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan got into the carriage and entered Canglan City. The carriage drove through the winding streets and stopped in front of the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce’s main building.
When they got out of the carriage, they saw a graceful figure in red waiting to welcome them. Nami smiled radiantly at them. Her smile seemed to light up the world around her.
The guard was shocked. She had never seen President Nami smile so amiably before.
Even Xu Yuan was stunned. He and Su Wan maintained a calm facade as they alighted from the carriage.
“President Nami, I got the thing you wanted,” said Su Wan.
Those words were more pleasant than the best of music to Nami. She couldn’t hold herself back.
“Lord Su Wan, thank you so much for your efforts!” said Nami. “You will be considered a dear friend of the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce for life!” She bowed to Su Wan with utmost respect.
The guards looked at Su Wan in astonishment. President Nami never bowed to anybody. They were curious. Who was this Lord that even President Nami considered so important?
Nami ushered Xu Yuan and Su Wan to the building, up through the elevator, and finally into her office.
Bartos smiled when he saw Su Wan enter the office. “Lord Su Wan… I admit I never expected you to succeed, at least not against Ada. As expected, you aren’t someone to be underestimated.”
Su Wan looked at Bartos. ‘Does he mean the Spider Queen Ada?’
If Xu Yuan hadn’t used his full strength, they would have been dead meat.
Su Wan stared at Bartos. He seemed really weak and ragged. He was a man who had defeated the Red Dragon and survived. Now, he would be reborn.
“I have completed the mission you assigned to me,” said Su Wan. A wooden box appeared in her hands.
The sound of a beating heart radiated from the box. Bartos looked at it.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t look as eager and happy as Su Wan had expected him to be. He just looked tired.
After a long pause, he got up slowly and walked to Su Wan.
His right hand pressed against the lid of the box. He could feel the beating of the heart inside the box.
“This was the beginning of a new era. There will be slaughter, turmoil, and chaos. No one can escape fate. Since no one can escape sacrifice and death, I shall begin!” Bartos slowly opened the box.
The sound that was muffled before now rang through the whole room. The beating heart was like a drum that thrummed.
Bartos reached into the box and picked up the heart in his hands.
He took a deep breath and moved the heart closer to his chest. The black robe on his body seemed to have a life of its own. When the heart approached, it tore apart by itself and revealed his empty chest.
The flesh rolled back over the scars. The bones and blood vessels looked almost hungry. No one knew how the old man survived after losing his heart.
Su Wan, Xu Yuan, and Nami watched nervously as Bartos placed the heart into his empty chest.
The blood vessels immediately wrapped around the heart and attached themselves to it. The beating of the heart became faster. Every beat was powerful.
Bartos’ aura changed. The flesh on his chest began to grow and cover the gaping hole that now had a heart in it.
Bartos’ vitality was restored. The aura he radiated exploded. It spread in all directions.
In an instant, the entire Canglan City felt the pressure of that powerful aura.
The guards at the outposts sensed it too. They stared at Canglan City in horror, unable to understand what had caused such a powerful magical fluctuation..
