Chapter 721
Together, they crossed the parking area and approached the main entrance.A broad-shouldered security officer stationed beside the glass doors noticed them almost immediately. His professional expression changed slightly as his eyes settled on Serena.“Ms. Serena DiLaurentis?”She slowed. “Yes.”The officer immediately stepped forward and opened the door.“The executives are expecting you upstairs, ma’am. The interview will be held in the main conference room. I’ll take you there.”Serena and Lisa exchanged a look.Lisa discreetly turned her wrist enough to check the time.Her brows rose because they were almost an hour early.She looked at Serena again, and this time Serena clearly understood what had surprised her.The executives were already waiting?Neither woman said anything as they followed the security officer into the lobby.The interior of TrustMed’s headquarters did little to make Serena feel more relaxed. There was none of the disorder she would have expected from a newly

Meanwhile, in Brooklyn Heights, far beyond Galecrest of East Sorevia...An Audi S8 rolled into the parking area of a towering corporate building along one of the busiest commercial streets in the South District before coming to a stop.Serena DiLaurentis stepped out from the driver's seat with Secretary Lisa following from the opposite side, and both women instinctively raised their heads towards the structure before them.TrustMed Pharmaceuticals.The newly established company had chosen its headquarters well. The high-rise stood prominently among the surrounding corporate buildings, with a modern glass exterior and an architectural design. For a company that had only formally announced its presence in Brooklyn Heights days earlier, everything about the headquarters suggested that TrustMed had been preparing for this moment long before the public ever heard its name.Serena stared at the building for several seconds before tightening her grip around the purse at her side.“Lisa, thi

Before Elijah could process the answer, Mother swung her arm and sent him flying through the mountain opening with almost insulting ease.His body struck the steep passage beyond it and immediately slid down the rocky slope. He twisted several times along the way, using one arm to protect himself while refusing to release the wooden staff from the other.By the time he finally reached the bottom, pain had spread through half his body.“Mister Elijah!” Iris hurried towards him and caught his arm before he could collapse completely.Elijah leaned against both her and the staff as she helped him onto his good leg. He raised his head to examine where Mother had thrown him through.The others had already gathered inside what appeared to be a natural cavern. Before them, the passage climbed steeply towards the opening above, with a rough stairway carved directly into the rock and disappearing all the way back towards the basin above.<

Lucius halted in midair and slowly turned towards the mountain entrance.“Hmph! If Master Nightbane is supposed to represent the standard of your Order, then there is even less to admire.” Elijah didn't stop.Something in Lucius’s expression shifted at the mention of that name, but Elijah continued before he could respond.“To think he went so far as to establish a personal sect of his own while serving as a high-ranking member of the Hall. What did he call it again?”A mocking smile tugged at Elijah’s lips. “The Venom Scripture.”By then, Lucius had turned completely towards him.“And after all that, he still ended up playing fetch dog for the Lancasters.”“What did you just say?” The question came quietly, but the danger behind it was unmistakable.From that reaction alone, Elijah knew he had spoken of something that was never meant to become public information.His smile only widened. “I’m saying Nig

“Mother…” several disciples called almost together.Rowan tightened her grip around what remained of her damaged sword and stepped forward.“My Sisters and I can remain with you. If we combine our strength, we can help you put this Grandmaster in his place.”Mother gave a slight shake of her head. “Have you forgotten everything I taught you about height?”Rowan had no answer.“The difference between realms. If you remain here, I will spend more effort protecting you than fighting him.”The firmness in her words left no room for further argument.Without turning around, Mother called, “Elijah.”His attention immediately focused on her.“I am trusting you to lead them through whatever lies beyond that entrance. If you do not find what you seek inside, my promise to you remains unchanged.”Elijah stared at her back without responding.“Rowan.”The eldest senior sister straightene

Several of the younger disciples limped away from the rocks they had crashed into, with cuts along their faces and arms from flying debris.The senior sisters had endured the blast better, although none had escaped untouched. Evelyn wiped blood from the corner of her mouth as she forced herself upright, while Sade supported another senior whose ankle had twisted badly during the fall.Their injuries would have looked severe on ordinary people, but none were immediately life-threatening to trained practitioners.Rowan eventually emerged from where she had crashed farther along the mountain, with blood covering much of her clothing. Even in that condition, she forced herself towards the others until the entire group gathered near the centre of the basin and turned their attention towards the sky.Elijah watched the battle with a complicated expression.He had seen Grandmasters exchange blows before, but those encounters wasn't the
