Monkey nodded. “I saw it with my own eyes. There’s no mistake.”
Raiden burst into excited laughter, slapping his thigh. “Haha! So that woman likes that useless guy? I always thought he was emotionless!”
Then a thought crossed his mind, and he turned to Monkey. “Do you remember what she looks like? Is she easy to recognise?”
Monkey nodded. “I made sure to remember her face. She’s very striking and easy to recognise. I’d know her if I saw her again.”
Raiden was immediately reassured. “Great, we’ll make our move tonight!”
Nimbus, who had been sitting quietly, seemed lost in thought ever since hearing Monkey’s report.
Raiden, noticing Nimbus’s uncase, asked, “What’s wrong? This is good news. Why do you look so worried?”
Nimbus frowned slightly, voicing his doubts. “I just don’t understand. That man hates the Ghost Sect. Why would he suddenly let Monkey go? It doesn’t fit his style. And if Monkey knows what his girlfriend looks like, he’ll realise that letting him go would create trouble. What’s his motive?”
Raiden fell silent at this.
It indeed didn’t match the ruthless style of the Shadow Palace’s palace master, who usually showed no mercy to the Ghost Sect.
Monkey then explained, “Mr. Nimbus, don’t worry, I saw that woman alone. She wasn’t with the palace master. However
He suddenly remembered something. “Now that I think about it, the woman and Shadow Palace’s Scarface. didn’t seem to get along. Scarface was the one who restrained me. No one else was around. The woman spoke softly, but it seemed like she was deliberately provoking Scarface. But the information should be accurate. If it weren’t true, Scarface wouldn’t have been so angry.”
Nimbus nodded. This made sense.
“Did you see what the Shadow Palace’s palace master looks like?”
Monkey shook his head. “No, he was still wearing that golden mask.”
Nimbus narrowed his eyes, a hint of darkness crossing his face.
Everyone said the Ghost Sect was elusive, but the most mysterious figure was the Shadow Palace’s palace
master.
There were no photos of his face online. Someone had even offered a million dollars for a picture of him. but no one had succeeded. His identity was more than just a simple leader of an organisation.
Nimbus feared that if the palace master influenced Halturia, their plan might fail disastrously.
Thinking this through, Nimbus cautiously said, “Let’s call off the action. We’re not familiar with Halturia. It’s not worth the risk. Now that we know he’s alive, there will be other opportunities for revenge. We don’t

Raiden, on the other hand, was fearless. Seeing Nimbus’s cautiousness, he reassured him. “Nimbus, you’re overthinking. If he had significant power in Halturia, he’d already know we were here and would have taken action against us. He wouldn’t let us roam freely without doing anything.
“Hmph, I think he just chose a safe place to recover.
Raiden had a point, but Nimbus still felt something was off
“But…
Raiden cut him off. “Enough, relax. Even if the Shadow Palace has some plan, they wouldn’t dare make a move in Halturia. Think about it, they let Monkey go. With so many of us here, they wouldn’t risk it.”
Raiden was always decisive and quick to act
Fearing Nimbus might object, he quickly ordered Monkey and the others to start planning the kidnapping.
Nimbus watched them bustle away. Although still uneasy, seeing their confidence, he swallowed his words.
Maybe he was overthinking it.
Meanwhile, in the hospital room.
Milly was in high spirits, humming a tune she made up.
She had managed to steal a kiss from the stoic George and riled up his subordinate, Scarface. Thinking about Scarface’s angry reaction made her happy.
Hahaha! It felt so good!
But then she remembered something…
Milly picked up the tablet next to her and started searching for “Ghost Sect” and “Shadow Palace.” The search results were extensive:

Moreover, George’s injury seemed connected to these organisations.
If that were the case, a regular search engine wouldn’t help. She needed to look on the dark web.

Thinking this, she squinted her eyes and quickly exited the current page, entering a different URI. The screen turned black with fluorescent green text. If one looked closely, there were even pictures of bloodied
corpses.
That’s the dark web–where anything illegal, gruesome, or unacceptable by societal standards could be found.
