Chapter 149 -147-Justice and Evil (2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
"What?!" Elder Dean exclaimed in panic.
Hilna shot him a glance, her face a mix of annoyance and unwavering confidence. "It’s a minor issue. I’ve already discerned a solution. Her will is this resilient because of a Hero named Ethan. Thus, our next course of action... Kill the Hero called Ethan!"
"As you command!" The crowd responded in unison.
Stone Rock Harbor.
Inside a room, Ethan sat broodingly, his emotions boiling over as he slammed his fist on the table. "If I find out who took Veronica, they’ll pay dearly for it!" he roared.
Victor, standing nearby, remarked, "We’ve searched extensively, but there’s no trace. It’s possible Miss Veronica is no longer in Stone Rock Harbor."
Little Fairy Baal stepped forward, trying to console him, "Ethan, as upset as you are about Veronica’s disappearance, anger won’t help. We should stay calm and think things through."
"I concur," Victor interjected, reasoning, "The only people we’ve had any conflict with in Stone Rock Harbor are from the Elder Council. And the fact they secretly abducted Veronica suggests she might still be alive. If they wanted her dead, they could have acted when she visited Sean’s villa."
"That makes sense," Ethan conceded, acknowledging he might have been overly impatient.
Furthermore, he added, "Just the few of us might not be enough to locate Veronica. We need more manpower. I’ll reach out to the Heroes of Blackstone Hero Kingdom for help in the search."
Though this plan would have to wait until he returned to the kingdom.
