Chapter 461<\/p>\n
Morris picked up his phone, but before he could unlock it, that detested female voice resurfaced in his mind.<\/p>\n
For a brief moment, his mind went completely blank. His grip on the phone loosened, and it clattered onto the desk.<\/p>\n
\u201cMorris, Morris, I\u2019m here. I\u2019m here. Come, come to me! If you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll stop breathing. Come on, Morris, Morris.\u201d The woman\u2019s voice gradually disrupted Morris\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n
Morris felt as if he were trapped in a nightmare\u2013a bottomless abyss. In the depths of that abyss, invisible hands relentlessly tightened around his throat, making it impossible to breathe.<\/p>\n
And yet, that voice calling out to him felt like the only lifeline, the only way to escape the abyss and breathe freely again.<\/p>\n
The voice persisted, growing more frequent. To his credit, Morris\u2019s willpower was formidable. Even in this state, he struggled, fighting to escape the nightmare and return to reality<\/p>\n
But it was clear he was reaching his limit. His breathing grew ragged, veins bulging on his forehead. Through it all, he kept muttering one name: \u201cCherise, Cherise, Cherise\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
On the outskirts of Betrico, within the expansive grounds of a luxurious estate, Yulia and her grandmother, Rita, sat in the garden.<\/p>\n
On the table sat a brand\u2013new bell, noticeably different from the one Garrick owned in the Hawkins residence. This one was a size larger, its golden surface gleaming with a sense of mystery and opulence.<\/p>\n
Yulia glanced at the motionless bell and then turned to her grandmother. \u201cGrandma, what\u2019s going on? I remember Hannia succeeded quite easily last time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita nodded and said, \u201cMorris is no ordinary man. He\u2019s not just the head of the Chivers family and the CEO of both Syphonea Group and the Chivers Group.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReally? More hidden identities?\u201d Yulia asked, her confusion evident.<\/p>\n
Rita smirked, her sharp eyes glinting with insight. \u201cHe\u2019s also the founder of the Dark Web Division.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yulia\u2019s eyes widened in shock. She had never imagined that the legendary Dark Web Division had been created by Morris.<\/p>\n
Rita, noting her granddaughter\u2019s astonishment, said calmly, \u201cSo, do you really think a man who\u2019s clawed his way through blood and carnage would succumb so easily to someone trying to manipulate his willpower?\u201d<\/p>\n
Yulia swallowed nervously, her voice faltering. \u201cThen\u2026 maybe we should just give up. How could we possibly succeed?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will succeed! I never fail,\u201d Rita retorted, looking more serious. It made Yulia feel that her grandmother seemed far less gentle and elegant than she used to be.<\/p>\n
Rita, realizing that her tone might have been overly stern, paused for a moment and softened her voice. \u201cYulia, as long as I am here, everything will be fine. Trust me, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Yulia felt a bit more reassured and nodded. Then, Rita picked up the golden bell and unfolded the white paper she had been clutching, which bore Morris\u2019s birthdate.<\/p>\n
She began murmuring an incantation\u2013a string of incomprehensible terms. Once finished, she shook the bell toward the sky a few times and then toward the ground.<\/p>\n
After completing the ritual, she set the bell back in place and said, \u201cLet\u2019s wait ten more minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Morris seemed to have managed to regain some composure. He picked up his phone again, intending to check with Cherise to see if something was wrong.<\/p>\n
However, just as before, as he was about to make the call, the voice echoed again. This time, it was more frequent, and the suffocating sensation was more intense.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome, hurry, Morris! Morris, come to me now! If you don\u2019t come, I\u2019ll kill Cherise. I\u2019ll kill Cherise.\u201d<\/p>\n
The mention of Cherise\u2019s name struck a nerve. Morris shot to his feet, his eyes unfocused, a stark contrast to the sharp gaze he usually had. Slowly, he began walking out of his office.<\/p>\n
Steven and Leo were still discussing wedding details with the three selected planners, so the only ones outside the office were a few ordinary employees.<\/p>\n
When they saw Morris step out, they quickly stood and greeted him politely. Watching him head straight for the elevator and press the button to go down, none of them noticed anything unusual, assuming he was simply leaving the building on his own\u2013a common occurrence.<\/p>\n
The elevator ascended floor by floor, the numbers ticking upward until it arrived with a soft chime.<\/p>\n
As the doors slid open, Morris hadn\u2019t stepped inside yet when someone walked out. It was Truman.<\/p>\n
The moment he saw Morris, he grabbed his hand without even checking on him and said, \u201cHey, you\u2019re here! Great, I was looking for you. So, you\u2019re planning a wedding, huh? I heard you had Leo and the others hire wedding planners.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat won\u2019t do! How can I let you foot the bill on such an important day? Let me handle it! I\u2019ll make sure your wedding is flawless and leaves you absolutely amazed and thrilled!<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, hey, hey, I\u2019m not done yet! Where are you going? What\u2019s with you? You\u2019re just walking away without saying a word? That\u2019s not like you at all!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-484","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
