Chapter 414

ntelligent and courageous; Princess Qilan possessed an elegant and refined demeanor. Together with Taixue Mister and other friends, they were discussing how to save the prince, ultimately deciding on...Chapter 414

Kaka silently stroked her long hair, finding it hard to express his thoughts.

Fei Mo had warned Wu Shuang not to have too much contact with Dragon Chengtian, not because the man was difficult to deal with, but because Wu Shuang's unwavering affection for him contrasted sharply with his hatred for her. The lives involved made their situation serious and they were all worried that Wu Shuang might end up hurt emotionally. However, things didn't turn out as they had imagined; Dragon Chengtian seemed to have mixed feelings about her.

Perhaps, what Wu Shuang said was right—hatred could be transformed into love.

Wu Shuang was such a good person, worthy of being loved.

She should be happy that someone finally loved and pampered her as much as Mo Jue did for Ye Wei.

Happiness is all that matters for Wu Shuang.

"Do you need any help tomorrow night" Kaka asked, changing the subject to avoid discussing their personal issues.

Everything was set in stone; he and Jia Qi, Wu Shuang and Dragon Chengtian.

"No need!" Wu Shuang waved her hand casually. She had always been accustomed to navigating various traps and going on adventures since childhood. Even though she hadn't visited the Devil's Castle before, it wasn't a difficult task; she would be done within two hours.

"What are you planning to steal" Kaka asked with a smile.

"The Sea Blue Heart." Wu Shuang said calmly. Kaka pursed his lips. The Sea Blue Heart That heart-shaped gemstone imbued with malevolent energy—what could possibly make Wu Shuang take an interest in it out of nowhere

The Heart of the Sea is a piece of jewelry designed for an Italian princess by a renowned designer from Italy in the last century. It's very beautiful and exudes靈氣逼人.

This piece of jewelry was once exhibited in Berlin, marking its first appearance to the world. The gemstone has a sea blue color, with what seems to be an unknown force within it. Its brilliance is dazzling and bright, and there appears to be something moving faintly within the patterns on the stone.

Three princesses wore this jewelry: the first was an Italian princess who died suddenly less than a month after wearing it; her cause of death remains unknown. The second wearer was also an Italian princess who lost both her and her unborn child shortly before her due date. The third wearer was a British princess, who met with a violent end within a month as well. Afterward, no member of the royal family dared to wear this jewelry.

Aside from its beauty, this piece of jewelry carries an inexplicable evil aura.

The British royal family later auctioned off this jewelry, which was purchased by a collector in that same century and stored away. The proceeds were donated entirely to welfare institutions; however, the whereabouts of the jewelry have been unknown since then.

It's said that within two years of acquiring it, the jewelry went missing from the collector’s possession. Fearing the discovery, he ordered a replica to be crafted and placed in a secret room, while the true gemstone’s whereabouts remain unknown.

Kaka knows little about jewels but became aware of the Heart of the Sea when Hailan mentioned it during her childhood. Hailan and Cheng Anya frequently attended auctions where they once saw this jewelry in historical exhibition materials at a Berlin auction house. Because its name is identical to the gemstone, Hailan took particular interest.

Hailan can easily find out information wherever she goes, so it didn't take her long to discover that the jewel was located in Devil's Castle. However, she couldn’t retrieve it from there.

She originally planned on waiting until she felt better before going with Wushuang and Ye Wei to explore for the Heart of the Sea, only to die before having the chance to even attempt a theft.

Considering how many years had passed since then, why would Wushuang suddenly want the Heart of the Sea

"That's an ominous piece of jewelry. Why do you need it" Kaka asked. The jewel is indeed very strange; all those who wore it died, although its owner was unharmed. When Hailan had a fleeting thought about stealing it, she disappeared too. Even though there’s no direct connection between the jewel and Hailan's death, Kaka feels that something ominous lies behind this situation, unlike Wushuang who likes to take risks.

"I’m bored," Wushuang teased innocently, shrugging her shoulders. "I’ve coveted this piece of jewelry for a long time."

"Wuxiang, listen to me."

"Do you want the truth" Wuxiang raised an eyebrow and asked Kaka. Kaka frowned; then Wuxiang said, "The person who stole this piece of jewelry back then was from the Long family, specifically the Dragon Chengtian clan. They claimed that this piece has something to do with their family curse, so I thought about Fei Mo."

"What does that mean"

"I looked into Dragon Chengtian's background and found many suspicious aspects. His background is too clean, like ours—more likely manufactured. I believe he should have some blood relation with Nuannuan. If so, this piece of jewelry might be helpful to Fei Mo." Wuxiang shrugged.

"Still, it shouldn't be your risk to take."

"Please, dear, the Devil's Castle doesn’t count as an adventure for me! Even Father took me through the secret mechanisms at Henry Castle. What’s the Devil’s Castle compared to that" Wuxiang spoke with great authority and a domineering confidence.

Kaka shook his head; Wuxiang patted his shoulder, "Let's not talk about it now. I need to rest up, I’m determined to get this piece of jewelry."

After saying that, she lay down to rest, regardless of how worried Kaka might be.

The Devil’s Castle posed no real danger in Wuxiang's eyes. If the jewel could help Ye Feimo, she didn't want to miss this opportunity. Kaka seemed like he wanted to say something more; Wuxiang tugged at his shoulder, "Let’s not talk anymore, let's go to sleep."

The Devil’s Castle was only a few kilometers away from London Harbor. Five seemingly ordinary small castles surrounded the Devil’s Castle, and there were no trees in this area, leaving it completely exposed.

On top of the Devil’s Castle, there was an infrared scanning system that would automatically scan any moving objects outside the villa after eight o'clock at night. Any creature with a scent—people or animals—would be sent to the information room for analysis regarding their level of threat. If it exceeded the preset danger index in the system, the computer would issue a warning to the guards.

If the perimeter guards are armed with guns, explosives, or any other weapons, they cannot escape detection by this system. As long as a guard has even one pistol on them, the detection system will issue an alert; it won't trigger unless they carry nothing at all.

Each of the five small castles is equipped with specialized long-range sniper rifles designed to target anyone who steals items from within and tries to leave via the ground surface. Given there are no underground tunnels or trees nearby, there are no obstacles for snipers to hide behind, making it very easy to take a shot. This is one of the primary reasons why nobody has ever been able to leave these castles alive.

This design leaves absolutely no blind spots and is extremely powerful and domineering.

Since this area is private property, after dark only guards move around here. In recent years, Devil's Castle has been very secure, with almost nobody attempting to steal anything from it. Many collectors are so afraid their precious items will be stolen that they entrust the castle’s owner to store them within.

Put simply, Devil's Castle is brimming with treasures and valuables.

This is why many professional thieves are so covetous of Devil's Castle—nobody has ever managed to steal anything from it and leave alive. Neither Yehui nor Shiyi have ever attempted a theft here.

Wu Shuang had seen the design plans.

From what he could tell just by looking at the castle's layout, Wu Shuang believed that there would be no major issues for him to deal with.

Yehui and Shiyi once considered trying their luck against Devil’s Castle but didn’t come because none of the items in its inventory were interesting enough. In truth, nobody had a blueprint detailing the castle's mechanisms. The designer who drew up these plans is long dead, making this information an absolute secret.

Wu Shuang’s design was drawn by Hai Lan. With her soul capable of drifting across any corner of the world, it wasn’t difficult for her to draw Devil’s Castle's blueprint. In fact, regardless of how dangerous a place is, knowing where the mechanisms are and how they work makes everything simple.

The only challenge would be that the castle has weight sensors—if an item was stolen, these sensors would issue a warning instantly. Wu Shuang had to find a way to keep them silent. tighter around herself. Ye Feimo had his hands under his head as a pillow, with the blanket having slipped off to reveal large expanses of tanned skin, his well-defined chest completely exposed. Alth...
