Chapter 1647

"From the looks of it, this mountain is their hideout.Who knows how many people are hiding in its
caves? It'll be difficult for us to get a good grasp of the situation."

"That's true" lan conceded, his voice tinged with worry.

Meanwhile, Vivian was lost in thought.She stopped in her tracks all of a sudden.

"Jason, I heard them refer to you as Mr.Jason.Is that because you're the high priest's son? Did they
find out your mother’s identity?"

"Yes," Jason answered as he regarded her with suspicion.

Her sudden question had caught him off guard.

To his surprise, Vivian followed up her question with another that was even more probing.

"Then, are they going to hurt you? Your mother fled as a traitor, didn't she? If they found out that your
mother brought back the Jadesons' princess, wouldn't they lose all trust in her?"

Before Jason could stop the torrent of words pouring out of Vivian's mouth, the atmosphere in the
forest grew hostile.

The Jadesons' princess! If any of the people waiting to ambush Vivian had worked under Eddie
Limmer, then hatred for the Jadesons would be etched in their bones.

They would never pass up on the opportunity to seek revenge, especially when Yariel’s precious
daughter was right within their reach.

As predicted, a minute later, people began to emerge from all sides.



The twins watched in horror through the transmitter, wishing they could teleport to Vivian's side.

Vivi is being too rash! I can't believe she did something so reckless just because we complimented her!
What now? Vivian was tied up and brought into a cave.

While Vivian was certainly a daredevil, she was no fool.Her brothers were right—the geography was
too complicated to navigate without first diving into the depths of their headquarters, which was why
Vivian decided to take the risk.

Intelligent as she was, she speculated that the kidnappers would not have the guts to kill her
immediately.

After all, she was the Jadesons' princess.

If anything happened to her, Sebastian, along with the entire Jadeson family, would obliterate the whole
place to avenge her.

Hence, she was confident that they would not harm her.

Vivian's deduction was proven true when she was brought into a wide cave.

There, a man sat on a throne of sorts, surrounded by a crowd.

His expression darkened at the sight of Vivian.

"You're telling me that she's Yariel's daughter?"

"Yes, commander!"

Her kidnapper chirped, his voice colored with unbridled glee.

He stood tall with his chest puffed as he shamelessly waited to be showered with praise.



However, the coveted approval never came.

Instead, an object slammed into the man.

"Do you want to die? Do you even know who she is? How dare you bring her here? Do you want all of
us to die together with you, you moron?" the commander ranted, livid.

The kidnapper was stupefied by the assault, both physical and verbal.

"I-lsn't she Yariel's daughter? I brought her because of who she is, Commander! Her father killed so
many of our men.Since she so kindly showed up at our doorstep, why should we leave her
unscathed?" he countered.

"And what are you going to do once you've ended her? Do you really think that you can get away with
it?" the commander bellowed, infuriated by his subordinate's idiocy.

His body quivered with anger.

"I'm telling you that if Yariel's daughter dies here, he'll level the entire Elysium!" Silence ensued after
the commander's outburst.

They glared at Vivian, their faces twitching as conflicting emotions warred within them.

It felt like they had a wolf cub in their hands.

Alone, Vivian was vulnerable enough to kill, but they dared not for fear of retaliation from the wolf pack.

Vivian stared back with her doe-like eyes.

Humiliation turned into ire, and the kidnappers vented their anger out on Jason, who was also tied up.

Jason grunted in pain as they kicked him.



"Jason! What are you guys doing?"

Seething with rage, Vivian glowered at the attackers.

"What are we doing? Killing him, of course! Commander, this guy and his mother were the ones who
brought that girl here! How dare she lie to us and bring us a ticking time bomb? What do you think
she's planning? Is she trying to use the Jadesons to uproot us all now that her life is fine and dandy?"
the attackers spat through gritted teeth.

With that, a man slapped Jason harshly across his face.

Jason's head snapped to the side from the impact.

Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.

"Jason!"

Vivian was furious when she witnessed them doing that.

The prince had never suffered in his life, and Vivian could not condone such violence.

"What are you guys doing? I came here of my own accord; it has nothing to do with them! I was the
one who forced them to bring me here.My father is sick, and only something from the River of Styx can
heal him, which is why we sought out his mother."

Even in her frantic state, Vivian remembered the story Kurt had fabricated.

Yariel is sick? Everyone's faces lit up with delight upon hearing her words, the commander included.

They had survived by the skin of their teeth because Sebastian had gone dormant for the past three
years, thus allowing them to retreat into the forest and lead quiet lives.



If Sebastian was currently ill, then death was just around the corner for him.

When the day came, Elysium would rise from the ashes and restore its former glory.

As for Vivian, they could erase her memory to stop her from exposing their secrets without having to
murder her.

After all, it would be a simple task for the Elysians.

At the thought of this, a malicious grin spread across the commander's face.
