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 clear 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

reported.

“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 remarked.

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

Let them move the 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 somewhat 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 explain.

“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 outside the bedroom.

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

which eased his worries slightly.

“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 from 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 shrugged 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 have 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

ago.

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

about with him? Even if you have his number, you shouldn’t 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 things.

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

He raised his flashlight and illuminated the corresponding constellations.
