"I used to think that you were able to be with the wolf pack because of your extraordinary abilities, but now it seems like it was because of the Shadowfang Jade Whistle. It's because this is a royal heirloom of Solterra, capable of summoning wolves.

"Those wolves are close to you because they revere this jade whistle. The beasts in the mountains dare not approach you because they fear the curse of this jade whistle," Bradley explained.

Freya felt her head spin from the explanation, and curiously asked, "Why?"

"Try blowing the whistle and see," Bradley said in a mysterious tone of voice.

Freya took the jade whistle and blew it, but nothing special happened.

"Don't you think the sound is very much like a wolf's howl?"

With his reminder, Freya blew it again.

She listened carefully.

The sound produced by the jade whistle was somewhat sharp, and upon closer inspection, it really did sound very similar to a wolf's howl.

"The sound of the whistle is said to mimic either the howling of a wolf pack or the howls of the ancestor of wolves. When wolves hear the jade whistle, they may think it is a companion calling them, especially since the jade whistle emits a special light that can inspire reverence in the wolf pack. However, creatures on the mountain might mistake it for a wolf pack and, combined with the curse of the jade whistle, they would be too afraid to get close to you."

Upon hearing that, Freya recalled the last time she followed Steve into the secret room. She wondered why the snakes did not dare to approach her.

It was all because of this jade whistle.

"If I return the jade whistle to you, will they no longer obey me?"

That won't be the case. Once a wolf forms an emotional bond with a human, it can become a true friend. Given the depth of the bond between Snowy and you, how could it not listen to you?"

Bradley smiled and patted her head. "Don't overthink it. I have already given you the Shadowfang Jade Whistle, so it belongs to you."

"Leonard, Kevin's people are catching up with us. We need to leave here as soon as possible."

Just then, Shadow appeared behind the two.

She saw Bradley pinning Freya down, and her expression darkening

Bradley narrowed his eyes, then stood up and pulled Freya up as well.

"Let's continue back home."

After saying that, he picked her up and quickly disappeared into the night as Shadow One watched.

Shadow One watched the two figures walk away with a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

She silently clenched her fists.

Meanwhile, Freya blushed with embarrassment.

"Bradley, please put me down."

"No. I'm afraid you'll run away."

His wife was so powerful. If she ran away, how could he find her?

"I'm already married to you. Why would I run away?" she said in exasperation.

However, Bradley showed no intention of letting her go. He held her even tighter.

"Honey, let go of me first. I still have other things to finish and can't go home with you yet."

Freya suddenly remembered that she was not done with the Duke's Palace.

Kevin had already gone to invite Ian. Clearing up the misunderstanding around the bombing incident would not have much impact on their relationship.

However, if the Duke's Palace was also attacked, it would be different.

"What are you planning to do?"

Bradley looked at her sparkling eyes and helplessly commented.

"Come with me, and you will see," she said.

With that, she took his hand and ran toward the Duke's Palace.

20 minutes later.

A loud explosion shook the earth.

Bradley looked at the flattened ground that used to be the courtyard of the Duke's Palace and helplessly sighed.

"Frey, you are too mischievous."

"I'm just giving them a taste of their own medicine. The Duke's men aren't the only ones familiar with explosives. I am too."

After that, a group of servants rushed out in a panic.

When they saw the destruction, they angrily asked, "Who did this?"

"Quick, report it to the Duke."

Freya looked down at them from her spot on the roof and sneered. Then, she took Bradley's hand and left.

Meanwhile,

Ian had just arrived at the palace.

He was shocked to see the palace turned into a total ruin.

"Your Majesty, what is going on?"

"That's my question!"

Kevin's face looked very unpleasant. If it were not for Ian's control over the resources of the Beast Army and a third of the military power, he would have long since eradicated Ian's meddlesome presence from his side.

"Your Majesty, have you misunderstood something? I really don't know anything."

"Hmph! The woman who planted the bomb claimed to have acted on your orders. You were going to destroy the palace so that when you inherit the throne, you can build a more magnificent palace. How do you explain that?"

"I've been wronged, Your Majesty. Even if you gave me all the courage in the world, I wouldn't have dared to commit such a treacherous act," Ian cried out. "Who is that woman who dares to frame and accuse me?"

Ian's stubborn refusal caused Kevin's face to grow darker. He was about to scold him…

Just then, a messenger from the Duke's Palace rushed in.

"Sir, it's bad news. The courtyard of the place has been bombed!"

"What?"

Ian frowned deeply and turned to look at Kevin, "His Majesty, you said it was my people who bombed the palace. Now, my ducal manor has also been bombed, and the people in the manor said it was the work of the first assassin Mystica. The last time I was assassinated, it was also Mystic's doing. Please thoroughly investigate it and ensure justice for us all."

Kevin's mouth twitched.

Mystica?

Last time, he sent Mystica to assassinate Ian. She failed, and now Mystica bombed the ducal manor. What did she want to achieve?

"This incident is so abrupt. I will have someone investigate this thoroughly."

The sudden turn of events caught him off guard.

Originally, he intended to blame Ian for this matter, but now everything was ruined because of Mystica.

Mystica really knew how to cause trouble.

She might be the first assassin, but in his eyes, she was nothing.

At that moment, Ian was also thinking about his plan to kill Mystica. He had to contact Invincible immediately to find out when he could take action.

Keeping Mystica alive would only bring trouble!

Both of them had their own thoughts and unhappily parted ways.

As soon as Ian returned to the Duke's Palace, he immediately sent a text to Invincible.

If they did not kill Mystica, this woman would eventually destroy the building.

Ian: Invincible, when are you going to act?

When Invincible received the text, he was eating instant noodles.

He swiped his phone to take a look.

Invincible: Why? Are you in a hurry?

Of course, Ian was in a hurry, Mystica had already caused an explosion in his courtyard.

He almost instantly replied.

Ian: It's urgent. I can pay you money. Please act now.

Invincible: I'm sorry, Mystica is not an ordinary person. I need to be prepared in advance.

Even though he had been training diligently recently, he did not know if Mystica is making progress.

For this mission, there was no complete certainty, so he would not be the first to act.

Ian became anxious.

Ian: I'll raise the price by 50 million. If you can't act now, our cooperation will be canceled immediately

Invincible wanted to refuse, but then he looked down at his unfinished bowl of instant noodles and reluctantly agreed with narrowed eyes.

Invincible: Pay me another billion, and I'll act immediately.
