“Sebastian, you’re not planning to go against Oceanic Empire, are you?” he asked in surprise.
Sebastian scoffed. “Madelyn is my fiancée. I simply want to take her home. How dare those Oceanic Empire jerks take her from me?”
His expression was filled with determination as he said so, exuding unmistakable intimidation.
Grime found his reaction interesting and said, “All right then. Since that girl has helped me in the past, I’ll help you this once.”
He then summoned Adelar and instructed, “Adelar, if I’m not mistaken, we’ve been collaborating frequently with Oceanic Empire, right? It shouldn’t be difficult for us to locate their headquarters.”
Adelar gave a slight nod, “Yes. Every time we transported guns over there, we could reach the outskirts of their headquarters, but… we couldn’t get in.”
Sebastian had predicted that.
After all, it was a global organization. How could they possibly let a stranger in without reason?
However, knowing the location of the headquarters was enough for him.
Following that, Grimo ordered, “Adelar, assign someone to investigate this matter. You must cooperate fully with Mr. Lockhart. Report to me at once if there are any developments.”
“Understood,” Adelar acknowledged the order:
Sebastian gave a slight nod as a gesture of gratitude before leaving with his assistant and the others.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Oceanic Empire, Madelyn wandered aimlessly inside a base that resembled a space capsule. After a brief exploration, she was led by Phantom into a place akin to a secret
tunnel.
It was incredibly dark inside, akin to a subterranean cave, so much so that she couldn’t see a thing.
She was frightened, instinctively gripping Phantom’s sleeve. With chills running down her spine, she asked, “Why did you bring me here? Morgana shouldn’t be in a place like this, right? Is it haunted inside?”
Phantom laughed upon seeing how fearful she was. “It’s not only haunted, but there are also all sorts of monsters in there. You’re as good as dead once you go in.”
Madelyn was no fool, knowing he was just messing with her.
She felt somewhat at ease, her fear subsiding.
However, she couldn’t shake off the discomfort lingering in her heart,
What’s with all this? It’s just a meeting. Why make it so mysterious?
As Madelyn was deep in thought, a door at the end of the dark corridor swung open, casting a beam of light straight toward her.

exposed to the glaring brightness.
It didn’t take long before the two of them walked through that door.
Following that. Madelyn finally saw the legendary Morgana with her own eyes, save for her face.
That was because Morgana looked exactly like when Madelyn impersonated her back then.

She wore a tilted, lace–adorned hat that concealed more than half of her face, leaving only her red lips exposed.
Of course, her aura wasn’t entirely the same as Madelyn’s impersonation, for her gender was impossible to
discem.
Rumors were rife in the outside world that Morgana was a devil.
However, the Morgana standing before her was donned in a black suit, her hands adorned with black lace gloves. Her figure was graceful, though her chest was rather flat. She was probably a little over one hundred and seventy meters tall.
Her figure wasn’t quite masculine, yet it wasn’t entirely feminine either. It could have belonged

“Are you the young lady pretending to be me?” Suddenly, a deep, metallic voice pierced through the air.
Involuntarily, Madelyn shuddered all over.
She had intended to discern Morgana’s gender through her voice, but now it seemed she was too naive.
Morgana used a metallic voice changer when she spoke, making her voice sound eerily ethereal as if ant alien was speaking.
“I am,” Madelyn responded, forcing herself to appear calm.
In truth, she was filled with trepidation because the real Morgana exuded an overpowering aura.
Even in her past life, all she knew about Morgana was that she was incredibly mysterious and powerful, to the point of being downright terrifying.
However, regarding her true appearance, Madelyn had no idea.
Madelyn had thought her aura was powerful enough when she impersonated Morgana before this, but now, upon seeing the real deal, she finally understood that an aura so powerful it could obliterate everything really did exist.
The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became, causing goosebumps to crawl all over her skin.
“Lift your head. Let me take a good look at you,” commanded the metallic voice.
Madelyn didn’t dare to disobey. Slowly, she lifted her chin and stared directly at Morgana.
Then, feigning composure, she asked, “May I know why you sought me out?”
Upon hearing this, Morgana suddenly let out a cold laugh. “I’ve heard a lot about you from Phantom. He

Madelyn couldn’t help but swallow, wondering if she had spoken out of turn.
At that moment, Morgana laughed again. “But that’s good, though. You’re interesting, and I like it. I despise cowardly and boring people, Congratulations, for you didn’t disappoint me.”
Upon hearing this. Phantom secretly let out a sigh of relief because anyone who disappointed Morgana had only one fate–death.
From the look of things, Madelyn had dodged a bullet,
Madelyn felt undeserving of the praise and smiled modestly. “Ma’am… Oh, I mean, Sir… No, that’s not right either. Anyway, you flatter me.”
Phantom was momentarily speechless. Can’t this girl think before she speaks?
Fortunately, Morgana merely chuckled and didn’t mind.
Without wasting any more time, she said, “Don’t worry I won’t harm you. I called you here because there’s something I need to ask of you. If you can help with this matter, then you’ll become a part of Oceanic Empire and I’ll give you special treatment. I’ll allow you to utilize any resources you want.”
Madelyn’s heart hammered in her heart Morgana needs my help? Is she after money? I’m just a wealthy heiress. My family’s wealth is insignificant to the extremely wealthy Oceanic Empire. If she’s after power, then I’m completely useless.
Madelyn was truly at a loss. She couldn’t figure out how she could possibly be of any use to Morgana.
