Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 320 White Figure

The discussion had started up again in the chat group.

[No way. Is the Gomez family still monopolizing?]

[As expected of Sylvester, he's really impressive. I'm afraid I have to disagree. Emily, don't pay attention to him.]

[Even though the Gomez family is powerful in Pilar country, our Illusionist Guild is not to be trifled with.]

[They're actually trying to poach our people! Not allowed.]

Karen, being the only woman, was naturally more sensitive. She added: [Don't you think there's some flirtation between Sylvester and Emily?]

Violet's real name was Matthew Anderson. Matthew sent several question marks in a row. The others thought Matthew was refuting Karen's words and immediately assumed that Emily was a man. After all, such neat skills, decisive decision-making, fierce combat ability, and displayed leadership didn't seem like something a woman could have.

Everyone just assumed Emily was a handsome man.

Both men and women like beautiful people.

Thinking of this, the group members were already shocked. [The internationally famous Sylvester is actually gay. That's really surprising.]

[Emily! Are you gay, too? Don't scare us; we're a bit afraid.]

Karen felt puzzled and sent a string of ellipses.

Lela hadn't expected them to be so imaginative and even to incorrectly believe that Sylvester was gay, so she immediately sent a message. [Shut up, say one more word, and I'll sew your mouths shut and break your hands.] Everyone immediately fell silent.

Lela didn't explain but specifically called Matthew: [You handle it; get the paperwork done for Sylvester.]

Matthew was nervous. [Emily, you...]

Everyone else was nervously waiting for a reply.

Lela quickly sent a message: [You can provide false information.]

Lela, as the leader of the assassin organization Illusionist Guild, couldn't just leave it behind, especially now that Emily was its core, almost a figure of faith.

But to reassure Sylvester, she would give him this sense of security.

Having issued the order, everyone said no more, but they became even more curious about Emily.

When Mildred reported the paperwork to Sylvester, he just glanced at it and said nothing.

Holding the paperwork, he lowered his eyes in thought and suddenly chuckled.

He didn't believe things were that simple.

With slender fingers tapping on the table, Sylvester smiled and said, "I remember there's a batch of forbidden goods about to be shipped out from Radiant Country." Mildred immediately said, "Yes, it's exactly what we need."

Sylvester said, "Then keep a close watch on it."

Mildred didn't understand why Sylvester's thoughts changed so quickly, but to avoid showing his confusion in front of Sylvester, he decided to keep his mouth shut.

If he were told to keep a close watch, then he would do it as Sylvester instructed.

The sunset gradually faded, eventually disappearing behind the western mountains, and the night descended, covering everything.

The Harrison family's villa was bathed in the chilly glow of the moon, the wind rustling the leaves, creating an eerie atmosphere that sent shivers down the spine. At that moment, it started to rain.

The rain was accompanied by scaring thunder and lightning.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning split the sky, the brief flash cutting through the window and into the villa.

In the villa, Zoe was so frightened that she got up from her bed, looking out the window with a pale face as if she had had a nightmare.

The window was open, and the rain was drifting in from outside, sounding like drops of blood.

In that instant, a white figure with long hair flashed by, scaring Zoe into a scream.
