"Oh no!"
Royal slapped his forehead hard, "If Olivia can think of it, Furman definitely can too. Parker is hiding deep in Abyss right now, and he must know Olivia will come."
"You mean Furman will come and wait for us to walk into his trap?" Renata's expression turned serious. "If that's true, we're in trouble."
Something occurred to Royal, and he suddenly looked at her, asking carefully, "You just said a father and son came?"
"Yeah, the front desk said it was a father and son."
Renata frowned, saying suspiciously, "From what I know about Furman, even if he showed up in Abyss, he wouldn't come to a place like this."
"You do know Furman well, but don't forget he's got a strategist by his side."
Royal's expression grew grave. Renata gasped, fear rising from the bottom of her heart, "You mean Layton? Layton came to Abyss with him too?"
If you asked who was the scariest person around Furman, it was definitely Layton. He was old but sharp-minded, serving as Furman's brain trust. His abilities were unfathomable, and Furman valued him highly.
If the person who came with Furman this time was Layton, Abyss might really face a brutal battle.
"Furman doesn't have many people left under him. I'm afraid Layton really did come with him this time." Royal quickened his pace as he spoke, "We need to tell Olivia and the others about this right away."
Layton was different from Philly—extremely difficult to deal with.
The two walked to Olivia's door and had no choice but to knock again. This time they knocked urgently and heavily, as if afraid the people inside couldn't hear, knocking persistently.
Inside the room, Christopher slowly stopped his movements and picked up Olivia to walk outside. He let out a soft snort, displeasure flashing in his eyes at being interrupted.
Olivia kissed his lips and said with amusement, "Renata and Royal wouldn't knock unless it was urgent."
"I know."
Christopher was reluctant to pull his cock out of her, but seeing they were almost at the door, he could only speed up his thrusts.
His cock suddenly pounded faster into her pussy. Olivia's calves swayed in the air as an intense wave of pleasure hit her, her face flushing with desire.
Christopher took in her expression completely, unable to help kissing her deeply. But the more passionate it became, the more reluctant he was to let go.
He didn't want to pull out of her like this.
Olivia felt his hard cock still pressed against her back. She smiled with curved eyes and said gently, "Alright, put me down. Those two outside are about to knock the door down."
"Okay."
Christopher took a deep breath and gently placed her on the sofa. In the blink of an eye, both the room and Olivia became perfectly clean, except for him—his cock still standing erect.
"I'll go wash up in the bathroom," he said helplessly.
The cleaning spell was useful, but not all-powerful—like right now.
A hint of amusement flashed in Olivia's eyes. "Go ahead, I'll talk with them."
He nodded, walked into the suite, locked the door, and went into the bathroom to wash up. Seeing him close the door, Olivia walked to the entrance.
The door suddenly opened. Olivia was met with two bewildered and embarrassed faces. They blinked, saying somewhat apologetically, "Sorry, we didn't want to disturb you this late, but we have very important information."
Olivia had no intention of blaming them and invited them in, "Come in and talk."
Royal glanced inside and didn't see Christopher. Very tactfully, he shook his head, "How about you come to our room instead?"
Before coming, he hadn't understood why Renata had returned so quickly this morning. But just now, while knocking on the door, he suddenly figured it out.
Olivia and Christopher, a couple in passionate love, staying in a room together—they must be fucking.
Realizing this, he felt too embarrassed to even look at Olivia.
A room was a very private place. Thinking about what had just happened, Olivia considered and agreed, "Okay, let's go to yours then."
At their room, Renata handed Olivia the information she'd gathered this morning, "This is what I collected about major events in Abyss over the past hundred years. Besides those adventurers who died in avalanches while exploring the mountain, something particularly strange happened in Abyss."
As Renata spoke, Olivia flipped through the materials, her eyes landing on the unsolved case of a famous actress who disappeared in Abyss.
She tapped her finger on the actress's information, "This is the strange thing you mentioned?"
"Yes, this became an unsolved case. That actress, Seraphine Lawson, never appeared in public view again, never even came down from Abyss mountain. Everyone accepted the reality that she had died on the mountain."
Even so, Olivia was curious, "Then why is it still an unsolved case?"
"Because five years after Seraphine disappeared, surveillance cameras and people taking photos at Abyss mountain captured a figure. Seraphine's fans saw it and recognized it as her. It even caused a stir online, with everyone suspecting she wasn't dead."
"They suspected it was Seraphine based on just a figure?" Olivia raised an eyebrow and continued reading. Sure enough, she saw the figure.
It did look a lot like Seraphine. No wonder her devoted fans would rather believe this figure was her, insisting she wasn't dead.
"That's only one side of it. She was photographed five years ago, but actually, ten years ago, traces of a woman appeared at the foot of the mountain who looked very much like Seraphine. Someone just suppressed the news and confirmed Seraphine's death."
Renata pointed to a video taken ten years ago. This time the figure in the video was very clear, the face distinctly visible—it was the missing Seraphine.
But unlike ten years earlier when she was plump and beautiful, ten years later Seraphine was skin and bones, her whole body carrying a melancholic beauty. Before she could walk out from the foot of the mountain, she was sucked up the mountain by a gust of wind.
The video ended abruptly there.
With such a bizarre scene, no wonder someone wanted to prevent the video from being released—it was to protect people and avoid causing panic.
After watching the video, Olivia generally understood what Renata wanted to say. She propped her chin, "You're saying this Seraphine might be connected to Parker?"
Before Renata could speak, she continued, "Besides Parker, there really isn't any other presence in Abyss. Parker wouldn't allow any living thing to contaminate his territory either."
So this gust of wind could only be Parker.
Then it seemed the secret of why Parker had to return to Abyss wasn't hard to guess now.
"I understand about this. If the secret Parker wants to hide really is Seraphine, I think I have a way to get the Fire Element Blood Ruby back."
A look of determination flashed in Olivia's eyes. But then she noticed the two seemed hesitant to speak, so she asked again, "Is there something else?"
