Chapter 998
The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call
Nothing was found. Elwoodâs expression was gloomy. He lashed his whip out again and again.
*Some Cascadian bastards must have snuck into our camp!
âYou!â Elwood pointed at Harvey with his whip. âI thought you said the Cascadiansâ weapons were very primitive? How did they manage to start the fire from the inside?â
How could Harvey possibly know the answer? He could only speculate. âPerhaps they studied abroad in Foplya and became familiar with the weapons over time?â
âThey studied abroad in Foplya?â Elwood pondered for a moment and suddenly looked up. âOther than
our soldiers, are there any outsiders in our camp now?â
The adjutant immediately replied, âThere are some dancers and musicians who have come to entertain
our soldiers.â
âInvestigate it now!â Elwood looked at the food reserves, which were almost completely destroyed by the
fire.
At first, he wasnât really that nervous. He even thought the Cascadian intruders were foolish enough to believe they could burn the Foplyanâs food reserves.
The Foplyan soldiers would certainly have taken a series of measures with technology they couldnât even Imagine. But now, someone had destroyed all their technology without requiring any codes!
Elwood only wanted to find out who the culprit was and break their limbs. Since the culprit liked to skulk like a rat in the dark, he would send them to the Human Experimentation Department to be dissected
thoroughly.
A soldier dashed in. âReport! Sir, thereâs a situation! We found this!â
The soldier was holding a piece of a traditional Foplyanese outfit. This evidence further convinced Elwood that the Cascadian bastard who snuck in was hiding among the dancers.
âFollow me!â Elwood gestured and set off to investigate.
Harvey found his demeanor too confrontational. He said to Elwood, âGeneral, these dancers are here to entertain our soldiers. The colonel should be well aware of their background. Besides, this is the colonelâs
âAre you going to listen to him or me?â Elwood roared like a ferocious lion. âYou Cascadian bastards are always so greedy! Donât assume Iâm unaware of your thoughts.
âI am warning you, there are things I can learn from you and also use against you. You better know your place!â
Elwood fired a shot into the sky. The surrounding commotion intensified.
Wynter followed a small patrol squad and reached the entrance of a cave. They were about to change
shifts.

Here, Wynter could feel the grief emanating from the bottom of the pit. Due to the resentment of those souls, even hell would not take them in. Their spiritual forms were so evil and filled with grudges that
could never be dispelled.
She felt their resentment, hatred, humiliation, and the wrath of being betrayed. Suddenly, something
seemed to have surged into her spiritual form.
âHey, my fellow! Hey, my fellow!â She heard a voice calling her over and over again.
Wynter clenched her rifle, showing no trace of emotion. In fact, she was preparing stealthily.
The soldier ahead was exchanging the code for the shift change. When it was Wynterâs turn, she repeated
the code from the previous person.
But as soon as she spoke, the Foplyan soldier frowned and looked up at her. He reminded her, âItâs already past 7:00 a.m. Now, it is 7:01 am.â
Wynter immediately realized she had given the wrong code when she heard this.
