CHAPTER 623: CHAPTER 623: MAKE THAT BITCH DIE! (PART 1)

Raina North didn’t speak; she didn’t hear Pip Finch’s words behind her, but stared intently at Quinn Thorne.

Under Raina North’s gaze, Quinn Thorne panicked; he never expected to see Raina North at this meeting.

How is this any different from a little rabbit wandering into a wolf’s den?

Quinn Thorne instinctively looked towards Elias Hawthorne, wanting to know how he would handle the current situation.

Soon he realized the problem—his glance just exposed the identity of the Lord of the Dark Tower.

Quinn Thorne was deeply apprehensive, hoping Elias hadn’t noticed; otherwise, he might find himself lectured again.

Elias Hawthorne indeed didn’t notice Quinn Thorne’s small movements; as soon as he saw Raina North, his pupils sharply contracted, experiencing an internal upheaval like a raging storm.

He had to muster all his strength to barely maintain his calm.

However, Raina North still noticed.

If she had only seen Quinn Thorne, she might still have doubts, but Quinn Thorne’s glance and the change in the Lord of the Dark Tower’s expression had confirmed for Raina North that the Lord of the Dark Tower was indeed Elias Hawthorne.

But she had no evidence, so it remained speculation.

Raina North stared intensely at the man seated at the head, as if trying to see through the silver mask, discovering what lay beneath.

Pip Finch rambled on about the twisted nature of the Lord of Vermilion and the fearsome Lord of the Dark Tower, worried that his sister might inadvertently cause trouble.

In the territory of the Dark Tower, even as a doctor, he dared not be arrogant; yet, after his long-winded tirade, he didn’t hear a response and turned his head in confusion.

He saw Raina North unwaveringly staring at Elias Hawthorne seated at the head.

Upon seeing Raina North’s gleaming eyes, Pip Finch was terrified and hastily said, "Sis, sis, snap out of it. The Lord of the Dark Tower isn’t someone you can fool around with. If he’s a treasure, then that Claire woman is the dragon guarding it. Anyone daring to seek her treasure will face her wrath. That woman has caused trouble countless times due to her privileged background."

Pip Finch remembered the loss he had suffered when Claire Lowell got injured, feeling particularly aggrieved.

Raina North didn’t hear Pip Finch’s warning; her mind buzzed, unable to think clearly.

Originally, there were things Raina North couldn’t comprehend.

For instance, during her several encounters with the Lord of the Dark Tower, she inexplicably felt he was familiar.

Raina North had never thought much of it, assuming it was an illusion caused by her longing for Elias Hawthorne.

Now, seeing Elias, Raina North finally understood—it was no illusion.

This person was Elias Hawthorne.

No matter how thorough one’s disguise, they can’t become someone entirely unfamiliar; some traits always remain, like their aura.

This explained why, despite deploying many people to investigate Elias Hawthorne’s whereabouts, no information ever surfaced—because Elias Hawthorne was the Lord of the Dark Tower.

Her followers hadn’t the ability to trace to the Lord of the Dark Tower.

Knowing Elias Hawthorne was safe, Raina North felt relieved yet emotionally conflicted; suddenly, she made up her mind.

She pushed Pip Finch’s hand away and boldly walked towards Elias Hawthorne step by step.

She stopped in front of Elias Hawthorne and reached her hand up towards his mask.
