Chapter 805: This Cheek Says It Wants One Too
Selena Kensington smiled when she saw Vivian Sutton’s message.
She replied at a leisurely pace.
[Selie Stays Slim]: Has the little cook been making fewer meals for you?
The two best friends chatted a while longer until Selena Kensington saw Sterling Norwood carrying out some desserts.
Seeing this, Selena ended the conversation with Vivian.
After finishing afternoon tea, Selena was yawning softly, and Sterling urged her to go upstairs for a nap.
Originally, she should have taken a nap earlier, but due to Vivian Sutton’s matters today, Selena postponed her nap time. So now she had to take an afternoon nap.
Selena was already a bit sleepy, and hearing Sterling’s suggestion, she nodded.
Then she followed Sterling upstairs.
As they walked up the stairs, Selena seemed to recall something and turned to Sterling.
"How are things going with the internal network?"
Sterling had been busy with this matter for the past few days, so Selena didn’t want to disturb him.
Now that she had the time, it came to her mind, and she asked.
"Descendants of the Fell Bloodline around the world have basically received the news. I’m worried they might target those attending the Norwood Family banquet after that, so recently, the Norwood Family needs to dispatch more people to gather those alone Fell Bloodline descendants."
The Norwood Family banquet is held at the start of the year, which is an annual tradition for the Norwood Family.
The people of The Empire all know this.
However, what they don’t know is that every five years, the guests at the Norwood Family banquet turn out to be descendants of the Fell Bloodline.
The Norwood Family always keeps this matter concealed.
Even the high society elites only heard that the Norwood Family banquet held every five years is attended by internal Norwood Family members, sparing no further thought.
But since The Godsbane Organization managed to find some hideouts of the Fell Bloodline descendants, it’s likely they know this news as well.
Then, if The Godsbane Organization wants to strike while those Fell Bloodline descendants are traveling to Aethelgard, it would be easy...
Hearing Sterling say this, Selena knew things wouldn’t be so simple.
She tightened her grip on Sterling’s hand, suddenly coming up with a bold idea.
"What if... their true purpose isn’t just to capture those Fell Bloodline descendants for research, but rather to use this matter to incite internal panic among you, prompting those Fell Bloodline descendants to start questioning the Norwood Family’s authority..."
Selena uttered slowly.
She increasingly felt this purpose was likely.
The Godsbane Organization’s intentions were apparent; they aimed to eradicate the Fell Bloodline descendants.
Among the Fell Bloodline descendants, the Norwood Family was the absolute authority. They stood at the peak among the Fell Bloodline descendant families.
But imagine, if even the Beast Lord, whom the Fell Bloodline descendants admire, failed to protect them—then irrespective of the deep respect and reverence they hold, wouldn’t there be underlying resentment from this incident...
And this is precisely what The Godsbane Organization desires.
They aim for internal disintegration among the Fell Bloodline descendants first, so they can annihilate them with minimal effort.
Having figured this out, Selena looked at Sterling with deep concern.
Sterling’s gaze was profound, and right when Selena locked eyes with him, he also glanced down at her.
His eyes were deep, seeming to hold countless stars.
Behind those stars was a man’s innate confidence and assertiveness.
Seeing him like this eased Selena’s worries slightly.
Indeed, if she could think of these things, Sterling couldn’t have overlooked them.
Presumably, he thought further than she did.
Sterling raised his hand and ruffled Selena’s head, his voice calm yet soothing, "Don’t worry, I’ve already made arrangements. Besides..."
He paused, speaking with a hint of firmness and authority, "The Fell Bloodline descendants aren’t as fragile as you imagine. We’ve been integrated into human life for thousands of years, with the bonds weaved by our inherited bloodline continuously passing down. For them to try and defeat us is futile."
His words were unmistakably mocking.
Selena let out a sigh of relief.
Indeed.
This was why the Fell Bloodline descendants had always thrived.
Unlike the Clan of Celestial Masters, they effortlessly adapted to their new environment and made beneficial adjustments.
Yet, in such evolutionary adjustments, the ancient origins rooted in their bloodline were never forgotten.
After discussing this matter, Selena couldn’t help but think of the missing Cole Vaughn and Zoe Sinclair, who had long left Aethelgard.
She glanced at Sterling, who remained calm, unable to resist bringing up, "Cole Vaughn and Zoe Sinclair... any news on them?"
Sterling narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Selena.
Though he said nothing, Selena sensed a hint of mild displeasure in his eyes.
Selena let out a slight sigh.
"I’m just inquiring, not because I care about him..."
Selena clung to Sterling’s arm, murmuring.
Indeed, whenever Selena brought up Cole Vaughn, Sterling would react this way.
Like a protective Vile Beast.
Sterling still didn’t speak, seemingly unwilling to answer Selena’s question. Seeing this, Selena raised her hand and pinched the meat of Sterling’s arm.
Unfortunately, the muscles on Sterling’s arms were hard, with Selena’s pinch having little effect.
Instead, it provoked Sterling into speaking with strong displeasure, "You’re pinching me because of him?"
"..."
Selena was a bit speechless, but seeing Sterling’s slightly irate demeanor clamped her patience, explaining, "These are two separate matters; I’m pinching you because you won’t converse with me or answer my question."
Sterling pouted slightly, noticing Selena’s widened eyes, reluctantly answered, "Cole Vaughn’s whereabouts are still unknown, while Zoe Sinclair remains under our surveillance."
Seeing Sterling suddenly cooperating with her, Selena glanced at him suspiciously.
As Sterling was about to get angry over her suspicious gaze, she suddenly tip-toed and kissed his cheek.
Selena said, "That’s your reward."
Selena kissed him briefly and pulled away.
Sterling’s lips curled slightly upwards, though he suppressed the joy inside, then pointed at the other side of his cheek.
He said, "This cheek says it wants one too."
Childish!
Selena internally laughed and cursed.
Yet, to appease Sterling, she tip-toed again and kissed the other side of his cheek.
