One night, two people called to disrupt things, but it didn't affect Wushuang and Kaka's mood at all. On the contrary, after Long Chengtian confirmed his return date with a call, Wushuang was in particularly high spirits, radiant and glowing as if she were looking forward to something. The joy evident in her eyes would make anyone who saw her think that she was deeply in love, strikingly beautiful.

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

Fei Mo, he and Mo Yao, as well as Xiaobai, had all advised Wushuang not to have too much contact with Long Chengtian. It wasn't because the man was difficult to deal with but rather because Wushuang's unhesitant affection for him clashed with his hatred towards her, a rift made even more severe by an entangled life-and-death situation; they were all worried that she might get hurt emotionally in the end. However, things turned out not as they had expected: Long Chengtian seemed to feel both love and hate toward Wushuang.

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

Wushuang deserved someone's love for who she is.

She ought to be happy now that finally, as wished by her, there would be someone loving and cherishing her wholeheartedly just like how Mo Que treated Ye Wei.

All Wushuang needed was happiness.

"Do you need help tomorrow night" Kaka asked, shifting the topic away from discussing their personal feelings.

All of this was set in stone; he and Jiaqi, Wushuang, and Long Chengtian.

"No need!" Wushuang waved her hand casually. She had been accustomed to navigating through various traps since childhood and enjoyed exploring everywhere. Even though she hadn't visited the Devil's Castle before, it shouldn't be too difficult for her to handle it within two hours.

Kaka smiled and asked, "What exactly are you going to steal"

"The Sea Blue Heart." Wushuang said coolly. Kaka pursed her lips; the Sea Blue Heart That heart-shaped gemstone with a sinister aura—why had Wushuang suddenly taken an interest in it

The Sea Blue Heart was a piece of jewelry designed by a famous Italian designer for an Italian princess last century, extremely beautiful and exuding vitality. This piece of jewelry once participated in the Berlin exhibition, which was also people's first encounter with it. It was a sea-blue gemstone, within which seemed to be contained an unknown force that shimmered brilliantly, catching everyone’s eyes. Something appeared to be moving faintly within its engravings.

Three princesses had worn this piece of jewelry: the first was the Italian princess who passed away suddenly after wearing it for less than a month; the cause of death remained unknown. The second was another Italian princess who, while pregnant and wearing it for less than a year, tragically died along with her unborn child. The third wearer was an English princess, similarly meeting a ghastly fate shortly after donning it—her body severed from her head. After that, no one in the royal family dared to wear this piece of jewelry again.

While the Sea Blue Heart was lively and beautiful, it also possessed an inexplicable sinister aura.

Later on, the British royal family auctioned off this piece of jewelry, which was purchased by a collector in that same era. The proceeds were donated entirely to social welfare institutions, but its whereabouts remained unknown afterward.

Rumors had it that after less than two years since acquiring it, the gemstone went missing, and out of fear of others finding out, he commissioned a replica to be made and stored in a secret room while the original's location was never known again.

Kaka had limited knowledge about jewelry and only knew of the Heart of Turquoise because Little Turquoise had mentioned it when she was young. It was an accidental discovery for her, but since Sea Blue and Cheng Anya often attended auctions, she had once seen this piece of jewelry in historical exhibition materials from a Berlin auction house due to its name being the same as Sea Blue's gem. Because of this, Sea Blue became particularly fixated on it.

Sea Blue found out about something much easier than their intelligence organization would and could go anywhere without obstruction, so she quickly learned where the jewelry was—it was in Devil's Castle—but she couldn't retrieve it.

Originally, she had planned to wait until her condition improved before exploring with Wu Shuang and Ye Wei together. Who knew that she died before getting a chance to steal it.

After so many years, why did Wu Shuang suddenly want the Heart of Turquoise

"That's an ominous piece of jewelry. What do you need it for" Kaka asked; this piece was indeed very sinister as all who wore it died, though those who kept it safe were fine. However, when Sea Blue thought about stealing it, she disappeared. Even if Sea Blue’s death wasn't linked to the jewelry, Kaka still felt ominous vibes and didn’t think Wu Shuang should be taking such risks.

"I'm bored," Wu Shuang teased with innocent hands raised, "And I've coveted this piece of jewelry for a long time."

"Wu Shuang, listen to me."

Wu Shuang arched an eyebrow and asked Kaka, “Do you want the truth” Frowning, Kaka nodded. Wu Shuang then said, "The one who originally stole this piece of jewelry was from the Long family, specifically the Long Chengtian branch. They mentioned that this piece is related to their family’s curse, which made me think of Fei Mo."

"What do you mean"

"I have looked into Long Chengtian's background, and there are many suspicious aspects. His background is too clean, just like ours; it seems more like something that could be fabricated. I think he should have a blood relation with Warming. If this is the case, this piece of jewelry might actually help Fei Mo." Shuang shrugged.

"But you shouldn't take such risks."

"Please, darling, Devil's Castle isn't an adventure to me at all! Even Henry Castle’s secret mechanisms couldn’t stop my father and me from breaking through. So what is Devil's Castle" Shuang said with great authority and confidence.

Kaka shook his head, and Shuang patted his shoulder. "Let's not talk about it anymore; let's go to sleep. I need to rest up for this. This piece of jewelry is something I have to get."

After saying that, she lay down to rest, regardless of how worried Kaka was inside.

To Shuang, Devil's Castle wasn't particularly dangerous. She believed that this piece of jewelry might help Ye Feimo and didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity. It seemed like Kaka wanted to say something more, but Shuang tugged his shoulder. "No more talking; let’s go to sleep."

Devil's Castle was only a few kilometers away from London Harbor. Around Devil's Castle were five seemingly ordinary little castles that surrounded it. This area had no trees and was completely exposed.

The top of Devil's Castle had an infrared identification system that would automatically scan the activity outside the castle after 8 PM, identifying people, animals, or any warm-blooded creature. Once identified by the infrared scanner, these objects would be transmitted to a special analysis room where their threat level was evaluated using a dedicated analysis system. If someone exceeded the preset danger threshold, an alert would be sent to security.

If anyone outside carried weapons like guns, explosives, or knives, they wouldn't escape detection by this surveillance system. As long as there was any kind of weapon on them, it would trigger an alarm. The only way to avoid setting off the alarms was to go completely unarmed.cond Young Master Ye’s extremely high level of perversion and unpredictable mood swings, warm decided to remain silent so she wouldn’t step into a minefield.
