Chapter 530<\/p>\n
After Arthur finished speaking, he excused himself, citing other thatters, and turned to walk toward the vehicles waiting outside the banquet hall.<\/p>\n
Mateo remained behind, watching Stella closely, as though to ensure she wouldn\u2019t follow.<\/p>\n
Stella stood frozen in place, watching Arthur\u2019s imposing figure disappear into the distance. She bit her lip, her thoughts swirling. She fully understood the meaning behind Arthur\u2019s works now.<\/p>\n
Seeing that Arthur had entered his car, Mat\u00e9o turned to Stella. \u201cMs. Walton, please address him as Mr. Jarrett. Although the current situation is stable, his position demands respect, and caution is always advisable.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUnderstood,\u201d Stella muttered, her voice low and subdued.<\/p>\n
Tristan had been right. After all these years, Arthur was no longer the approachable man he had been in their shared childhood. His presence now felt distant, untouchable, like a figure towering far beyond reach.<\/p>\n
Two days later, Morris received a phone call. After hanging up, he turned to Leo and instructed, \u201cRelease Lydia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo, surprised, hesitated. \u201cHuh?\u201d he blurted, but one look at the icy sharpness in Morris\u2019s eyes silenced him.<\/p>\n
Swallowing hard, he nodded, opened the door, and left to carry out the order.<\/p>\n

An hour later, Leo arrived at the dungeon of Dark Web Dungeon where Lydia had been held. He opened the door to find her just waking up.<\/p>\n
Upon seeing him, Lydia immediately stood. \u201cYou\u2019re here to let me out, aren\u2019t you?\u201d she asked with a calm certainty.<\/p>\n
Leo was taken aback by how quick\u2013witted she was. \u201cYes, Ms. Walton. Please follow me. Mr. Walton has arranged a car to pick you up. It\u2019s waiting outside.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lydia dusted off her clothes and replied simply, \u201cAlright. Lead the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo pulled out a black cloth from his pocket. \u201cAs per Dark Web protocol, you\u2019ll need to be blindfolded, just as when you arrived.\u201d<\/p>\n
Without any resistance, Lydia nodded, her expression unchanging. \u201cFine.\u201d<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Outside the Dark Web Division, Leo removed the blindfold as they reached the exit.<\/p>\n
Lydia blinked as her vision adjusted, and she saw the sleek black sedan waiting for her, just as Leo had mentioned.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Walton, this is where we part ways. I hope you\u2019ve learned something from this and won\u2019t find yourself back here again,\u201d Leo said.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lydia glanced back at the dark entrance of the facility, then turned with a cold smile. Without a word, she walked toward the waiting car.<\/p>\n
Leo watched her leave, clicking his tongue in disdain, muttering to himself as he returned inside.<\/p>\n

Opening the car door, Lydia nodded at the man inside before sting into the seat. \u201cDad,\u201d she greeted calmly.<\/p>\n
The person waiting for her was none other than her father, Tristan, the second most powerful figure in Clusia, ranking just below Arthur.<\/p>\n
Despite his status, he had arrived in a modest sedan with no entourage or bodyguards, accompanied only by a driver.<\/p>\n
Tristan didn\u2019t need an entourage. As a martial general, his combat skills were formidable, and he could handle threats independently.<\/p>\n
Compared to Arthur, who balanced elegance with strength, Tristan exuded pure dominance and power. His imposing aura contrasted sharply with the gentler demeanor of Stella.<\/p>\n
Even though Tristan wore glasses, likely in an attempt to appear more refined, his natural charisma and commanding. presence couldn\u2019t be concealed.<\/p>\n
Looking at Lydia, Tristan finally spoke, \u201cYou\u2019re out at last. It must have been difficult for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lydia shook her head lightly. \u201cNot really. Morris\u2019s people didn\u2019t mistreat me. They provided three meals a day on schedule. It wasn\u2019t anything unbearable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tristan nodded in approval. \u201cGood. I imagine the Dark Web Division was as impenetrable as ever. With Morris\u2019s meticulous nature, his domain must be nearly impossible to infiltrate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIndeed,\u201d Lydia agreed. \u201cDuring my five days there, I was confined solely to the dungeon. The place isn\u2019t just heavily guarded It\u2019s practically airtight.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey blindfolded me both when I arrived and when I left. Even trying to discern anything by listening to footsteps was nearly impossible.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir elite guards are rigorously trained. Everything from their movements to their walking patterns is synchronized.\u201d Tristan wasn\u2019t surprised. \u201cThat\u2019s Morris for you. He\u2019s undoubtedly one of the biggest obstacles standing in our way.\u201d Lydia, however, shook her head and met his gaze directly. \u201cIt\u2019s not just him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tristan frowned. \u201cIt\u2019s not just him?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo!\u201d Lydia replied without hesitation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho else?\u201d Tristan\u2019s curiosity was piqued.<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise,\u201d Lydia replied swiftly. \u201cMorris\u2019s wife. You need to tread carefully around her.\u201c\u2013<\/p>\n
Lydia spoke every word with conviction, hiding nothing from her father, \u201cShe seems to know something. Or, more accurately, it\u2019s nearly impossible for anyone to keep secrets from her. Plus, her master is Mr. Dorian Finch. You know how formidable he is.\u201d<\/p>\n
