Chapter 185 Unraveling the Mystery

“An elder? Do you know his identity?” Caspian asked.

This was an important mission for Tigra, and since they were bringing along an elderly person, it was cl

ear that he was no ordinary man!

“I’ve had someone look into the background of that elder. He

just arrived from Tigra. His name is Henry Shaw. He’s originally from Diatoran but later moved to Tigra. He’s proficient in astronomy, geography, and metaphysics. He’s a professional in these fields!” Sylvia re

ported.

“As expected, this person was found by Tigra to solve the puzzle of the Cosmic Octagonal Nexus disk!”

Caspian remarked.

“Exactly. Once Henry cracks open the door, the treasures inside Dragon’s Hill will definitely be emptied

in no time. Caspian, what should we do now?” she asked urgently.

There was absolutely no time to waste.

“Let’s not act rashly! Let’s observe the situation first,” Caspian said.

Taking action now would undoubtedly lead to a confrontation between the two countries.

“But if we wait any longer, the veins and treasures in Dragon’s Hill will be taken away!” Sylvia urgently r

emarked.

“Don’t worry. Their numbers are limited. They can’t clear out everything in a short time. Let them move t

he things out, then we’ll make our move.” Caspian suggested.

“Has Willow figured out any way from the star chart?” she asked.

“No. This puzzle is quite difficult to crack. It’s good to let Henry give it a try. Continue monitoring

the scene and report to me immediately if there’s any problem,” he replied.

“I understand!”

With that, Sylvia hung up the phone.

Caspian knew that getting the treasures of Dragon’s Hill would certainly lead to a battle.

But with limited manpower on his side, a reckless attack might result in severe losses.

In order to win, he had to

get as much manpower as he could. At the thought of this, Caspian immediately made a call to John.

He went straight to the point and ordered John to mobilize more troops.

John didn’t ask many questions either because he could tell from Caspian’s tone that the

situation was urgent.

After receiving the orders, South Aridlands‘ naval, land, and air forces were

all mobilized and headed toward Southlake City.

“Who are you calling in the middle of the night?” Suddenly, Willow’s voice reached Caspian’s

ears.

He was startled and worried that Willow had overheard his conversation with John and Sylvia.

If so, she would definitely know his identity.

“Did I disturb your sleep?” He shifted the topic.

“You answer me

first. Who were you talking to at this late hour?” Willow switched on the bedroom lights and looked som

ewhat upset as she questioned him.

“No one. You must’ve misheard.” Caspian didn’t tell the truth because he knew it would be hard to expl

ain.

“You’re still lying to me! I clearly heard you talking softly to someone just now! Tell me the truth, do you

have?” Willow suddenly felt aggrieved.

She’d been busy with work these days and hadn’t spent much time with Caspian.

Could he have found a lover?

Earlier, she had heard his voice while half awake but hadn’t caught the specific content.

However, Caspian’s secretive behavior made her feel very insecure.

“I’m innocent! I don’t have a lover,” he explained.

He hadn’t expected Willow to be jealous because of this. If he’d known, he would’ve made the call outsi

de the bedroom.

However, Caspian also realized that she hadn’t clearly heard the content of his calls, which eased his w

“Give me your phone. I want to see who’s keeping you up at this late hour!” Willow demanded. firmly.

“Willow, what’s wrong? Why are you so sensitive? Are you jealous?

Caspian was surprised by Willow’s request for his phone.

In the past, she wouldn’t have cared about this.

However, this showed that she was starting to care more about him.

“I’ve been busy lately, and I haven’t been paying much attention to you. Who knows if you might have a

lover?” Willow said.

Caspian, feeling helpless, reluctantly handed over his phone.

However, when she checked the recent call logs, she found only two recent calls. The first was a call fr

om Sylvia while the other was a call made to John.

“See, they’re the people you know. How could I have a lover? Do you believe me now?” Caspian shrug

ged as he explained.

“Why did Sylvia call you this late? Why is she always hanging around you? Do you two have something

going on?” Willow continued pressing for answers.

How is that possible? We’re comrades. I’m not interested in her at all. If there were any interest, we’d h

ave gotten together long ago. You’ve got it wrong. She was just discussing military matters

with me,” Caspian explained.

Hearing this, Willow nodded. It seemed like what Caspian said made sense.

If something were to happen between Caspian and Sylvia, it would’ve happened a long time

ago.

“What about John? He’s a general, so he’s extremely busy. What could you possibly talk about with him

disturb him at this hour,” Willow said.

“You’re right. I won’t do it again.” Caspian chuckled.

Willow dispelled her doubts and didn’t

further.

Feeling sleepy, she turned over and went back to sleep.

Inside the tunnel of Dragon’s Hill, Taylor and the others had arrived at the massive stone door.

“Mr. Shaw, here’s the Cosmic Octagonal Nexus disk. Please unlock this puzzle!” Taylor urged.

He was anxious to know what treasures lay behind the door.

“Wait a moment. Let me examine it closely,” Henry said, scrutinizing the stone door.

Then, he placed his hands on the disk.

Each constellation represented a chess piece.

To enter the door, they needed to resolve the crisis of the eastern Azure Dragon.

He wanted to move the constellations but, being elderly, he lacked the strength.

The constellations seemed firmly attached, as if a strong magnet held them in place.

“Find someone strong to follow my instructions!” Henry directed.

Immediately, Bob selected the strongest soldier among his men.

“Move the Beta Arietis forward and the Alpha Tauri to the right!” Henry commanded.

“What are Beta Arietis and Alpha Tauri?” The soldier looked bewildered as he was clueless about these

“You don’t even know this?” Henry shook his head with a sigh.

He raised his flashlight and illuminated the corresponding constellations.
