The mustached man shrank his neck and muttered, "Alright, enough with the nonsense. I have to hurry and run away now."


    After saying that, he turned around and left.


    I returned to the Mystic Realm first, informed Spike Viktor of the situation, and asked him to leave temporarily.


    After finishing all this, I began to consider my next move.


    I sat near the Mystic Realm for a long time, thinking back and forth, and then decided to stop by the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets for now to inquire about the secrets within the Spatial Magic Artifact.


    So, I put on my hat and headed straight for Capital City.


    Arriving in Capital City, I went straight to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.


    Inside the Pavilion, everything was as usual. I went straight through the Great Hall and hurried to the vi behind the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.


    In the vi, Vivi Eve was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea. When I came in, Vivi couldn''t help but shudder in fear.


    "Et... Mason Raymond?" Vivi gulped and asked.


    I took off my hat and threw it aside, saying, "Where''s your father?"


    Vivi said, "He''s in the artifact refining room. I... I''ll go get him now."


    I nodded, poured myself a cup of tea, and waved my hand, "Let him hurry back, I have something I need to talk to him about."


    "Alright," Vivi agreed and hurriedly exited the living room.


    At this point, I didn''t know that danger was approaching.


    I sipped my tea slowly, quietly waiting for Aiden Eve.


    ——


    After leaving the vi, Vivi immediately took out his phone and called Garcia Coleman.


    As soon as the call was connected, Vivi anxiously said, "Young Master Coleman, Mason Raymond is here! He''s at the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets right now!"


    Garcia, on the other end, abruptly sat up in shock.


    "Are you sure?" Garcia asked coldly.


    "Yes! I swear he''s at the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets! Hurry up, or he''ll leave soon," Vivi urged.


    Garcia narrowed his eyes and said, "Find a way to stall him. I''ll be there soon."


    After saying that, Garcia hurriedly looked at Barret and said, "Quick, fetch Star for me."


    "Yes, Young Master Coleman," Barret didn''t dare to say more and quickly went out.


    For the past few days, Star had been holed up in his room, drinking and rarely stepping out.


    He didn''t like Iris Darren and disliked Garcia''s way of doing things even more.


    But the loyal Star couldn''t bring himself to disobey Garcia''s orders, so he simply hid in his room, out of sight and out of mind.


    A few minutester, at Barret''s summons, Star appeared before Garcia.


    "Young Master Coleman, what can I do for you?" Star asked expressionlessly.


    Garcia coldly said, "Follow me to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets immediately. Mason Raymond is there."


    "Mason Raymond?" Star''s face didn''t show much emotion.


    Garcia nced at Star and said coldly, "Uncle Star, you seem very unwilling."


    "No," Star replied without any expression.


    "No?" Garcia''s expression became even more displeased.


    Star couldn''t help but lose his patience. He took a deep breath and said, "In my opinion, it''s Iris Darren who''smitting countless evils, not Mason Raymond."


    "Countless evils?" Garcia sneered.


    "Uncle Star, you''re getting on in years, yet you''re still so naive."


    "What do you mean by countless evils? What is evil and what is good? Good and evil are just rules set by us!"


    "If I say someone is evil, then they are!"


    Hearing Garcia''s words, Star''s face grew increasingly ugly.


    "Alright, enough talking. Get everyone together and follow me," Garcia said coldly.


    Star opened his mouth but didn''t say anything more.


    ——


    At the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets:


    Aiden Eve hurried into the vi.


    He didn''t know anything about Vivi''s actions, so he was unaware that Garcia was on his way there.


    As he entered, Aiden wiped away his sweat and quickly walked toward me.


    "Mr. Raymond, what''s the urgent matter?" Aiden asked.


    I said solemnly, "Pavilion Master Eve, I''vee to you this time for the matter of the Spatial Magic Artifact."


    Mentioning the Spatial Magic Artifact, Aiden''s face darkened a bit.


    I thought for a moment, took out another Spatial Magic Artifact, and then handed over several hundred spiritual stones to Aiden.


    "This... These are spiritual stones?!" Aiden eximed, staring wide-eyed.


    I nodded and said, "Spiritual stones are top-notch materials for artifact refining. Consider these aspensation."


    Aiden took the spiritual stones, holding them tightly in his hand with excitement, and whispered, "They really are spiritual stones..."


    At this point, it seemed as if Aiden remembered something. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Raymond, did you steal the spiritual stones a while ago?"


    "Yes," I admitted without hiding anything.


    "All I have now are these. I hope you can tell me the truth about the Spatial Magic Artifact," I said.


    Aiden sat across from me, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Alright, I promise."


    I said, "A strand of my divine sense entered the Spatial Magic Artifact and discovered a faint light within."


    "To be frank, the spiritual stones I had were swallowed up by that light inexplicably."


    "You went inside?" Aiden was even more amazed when he heard this.


    I nodded and said, "Normally, that faint light should be divine sense."


    Aiden pondered for a moment and said, "That''s right, the thing hidden inside is indeed divine sense."


    "In fact, that''s not a Spatial Magic Artifact, but a prison. What''s imprisoned inside is that strand of divine sense," Aiden exined.


    I frowned in surprise, "A prison?"


    "Yes," Aiden nodded.


    "That strand of divine sense is unparalleled in power, and this Spatial Magic Artifact is its prison."


    I thought for a moment and said, "So how can that divine sense be released?"


    Aiden bitterly smiled, "You shouldn''t ask me that. You might be better off asking the divine sense itself."


    "But I must remind you, since it''s an imprisoned divine sense, it certainly isn''t a kind-hearted being. What will happen after it''s released is unknown to anyone."


    I seemed to understand.


    This strand of divine sense might be imprisoned in the Spatial Magic Artifact just like Iris Darren.


    "Where did you get this?" I asked.


    Aiden said, "I obtained it by chance, and exchanged it for another magical artifact."


    I nodded, "So you don''t know its origin?"


    "That''s right," Aiden agreed.


    I said solemnly, "I understand. Thank you."


    After saying that, I stood up and prepared to leave.


    "Mr. Raymond, are... are you leaving already?" At that moment, Vivi rushed in.
