Chapter 1021 Know the Crow


    Den''s attention immediately shifted at those words.


    Liam adjusted themp slightly higher. "Mr. Quinnell, I''m concerned that Mr. Albert isn''t quite aligned with us. His attitude toward Ms. Horton today wasn''t very weing."


    "That''s true." Den squinted. "After all, he''s not like his dad. We''ll have to test his intentions."


    Albert had endured long enough, but he knew he couldn''t expose himself. He needed to give Wynter time.


    Though Wynter had said he should follow his heart, he decided to wait for Wynter.


    Albert also wanted to know what was going on with Den, the Quinnell family''s savior, who was perfect in front of others.


    At the same time, in Quinnell Vi''s backyard, a crow emerged silently from a ck mist, unseen by anyone. He had arrived onmand.


    Dalton couldn''t enter this formation, but the crow could. However…


    "Lord, should we investigate Ms. Quinnell''s past life?" The crow could see the mirror image in the formation.


    He continued, "The voluntary dissipation of a heroic spirit is understandable, but that Soul Commanding Badge isn''t something just anyone can obtain, right?"


    The crow scrutinized Dalton''s profile cautiously. "Lord, do you think Ms. Quinnell might be connected to that—"


    "The formation is breaking," Dalton interrupted. His handsome face was devoid of emotion, but his paleplexion was stark against the night. "She''sing out. Stay here."


    The crow cawed softly.


    ?


    Dalton''s dark eyes were unreadable. "Celestial Dragon is here. You two can catch up."


    "Are you suggesting I take Celestial Dragon to meet you?" the crow spected.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    Dalton supported himself with a ck umbre, gesturing for the crow to return to where he hadnded. To disguise himself as amon bird, he needed to suppress his presence. The crow swooped back. Just as Dalton vanished, Wynter returned to the present world, still holding the cremation urn.


    The ashes were the only link between the present world and the Earthbound Formation.


    If there were ashes inside the formation, they must exist outside, too. Both needed to be unearthed to nullify the current geomanticyout. "Here?" Wynter''s gaze swept over Whitley.


    Whitley nodded at first, then seemed to sense something. He froze momentarily, and his eyes darted toward the bushes on the right. "What? Is something wrong?" Wynter now had a new understanding of Whitley.


    She used to believe dragons could only control the weather, but after entering the formation with Whitley once, she realized his effectiveness surpassed any testing device.


    Whitley stared at the bushes, seemingly hesitant. "It''s nothing. I must have been mistaken."


    "Be more confident in yourself." As Wynter said that, she suddenly raised her right hand. The copper coin was flicked out andnded heavily on a branch, causing the tree to sway along with it.


    The crow was startled. Since he had concealed his presence, no one should have been able to detect him except for Celestial Dragon. He didn''t expect a human to detect him.


    To avoid exposure, the crow had no choice but tond on the ground and y dead, mimicking an ordinary bird.


    After a nce at him, Wynter approached slowly and examined him with a neutral expression.


    The crow dared not move. Hey there with his legs syed out.


    Suddenly, Wynter chuckled and lifted her gaze to Whitley. "Is this what you sensed?"


    Whitley didn''t deny it.


    Wynter casually toyed with her purple sugilite pendant as she addressed the crow casually. "How long do you n on ying dead?" The crow stiffened. Seriously?


    "A crow ying dead so convincingly is quite rare." With a smirk, Wynter picked it up. She asked Whitley. "Do you know this crow?"
