    Chapter 1808 Betrayal


    Wynter was thinking about keeping Dalton''s identity a secret. Hence, she chuckled softly as she answered, "The matter of the sacred statue should be left to me. He''s just a mortal, so he can''t make decisions."


    Upon hearing this, Desiree looked at Wynter, then at Dalton, her expression absolutely baffled.


    Dalton spoke with indifference. "I''ll listen to her."


    That finally snapped Desiree out of her daze. It seemed she still needed to adjust to Dalton''s current demeanor. The way he kept addressing Wynter so fondly... This was unlike him in the underworld. He rarely intervened in matters and never paid attention to anyone. To him, everyone was insignificant.


    Even his four pets were each more troublesome than thest. This was especially true for Wolf, who had followed him out of the refining me. He could swallow all the evil spirits in the world with a single roar. Yet, here Dalton was, saying he''d listen to Wynter.


    Desiree struggled to keep her expression neutral.


    The other four apprentices, however, found this situationpletely normal and


    immediately stepped forward. "What did you mean earlier when you asked us to help you deal with that sacred statue?"


    Desiree took a deep breath, knowing these four were just there to make up the numbers. Still,pared to other cultivators, at least they didn''t spout annoying titudes.


    Hence, she lowered her voice and began to exin the whole story. "This goes back to when I first died. I was buried under the willow tree as nourishment for my family, sustaining the entire Pennoyer family.


    "Dmitriy, my so-called father, saw his business flourish after that. He even befriended a magistrate from the capital. He imed it was because he had a son that he gained such fortune. In reality, it was because he had used me to borrow the spirits'' fortune."


    Desiree''s voice turned cold, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop. "The Pennoyer family prevented me from even entering the underworld, offering me as coteral to that sect cultivator. I couldn''t reincarnate. The cultivator controlled me and forced me to kill."
