On top of her own research, Aria had to juggle the Smart Pharmacy Project and couldn’t neglect Adrian’s work either.
But compared to Sophie, Aria wasn’t nearly as swamped. The real crunch comes next semester.
It wasn’t until three days later that Aria learned White had gone missing.
Orlando reported, “The disappearance occurred near the Torrenia-Masmubia border. At the scene, only a wrecked vehicle, bloodstains, and the bodies of four Solemnity Guild members were found.”
Orlando stole a cautious glance at her before continuing, “Neither White nor the driver was among them. Chances are they’re still alive.”
Aria remained impassive, her face betraying no emotion. “Russell is even more useless than I thought,” she remarked coolly.
Orlando looked remorseful. “I’m sorry. We truly underestimated the Solemnity Guild’s lethal intent toward White. Russell has already sent people to deal with those trackers.”
Ever since they’d met Aria, they’d been nothing but trouble for her. At that moment, they couldn’t even protect someone under her wing. The room fell into a heavy silence.
Orlando rubbed his nose, a bit awkwardly. “Russell spread the word that White has something valuable from the Solemnity Guild. Now every organization is hunting for him. As long as the Guild doesn’t get to him first, he’ll be fine.”
Tyree suspected White was Russell’s operative and surmised that Russell intended to take control of the Solemnity Guild.
If Russell truly takes control of the Solemnity Guild, the Wolfshade Syndicate would dominate the underworld with an unshakable position. Tyree would be more than happy to see it happen and wouldn’t lift a finger to stop it.
The Solemnity Guild and the Wolfshade Syndicate were officially locked in a bitter feud. Damon, their designated liaison, was seized, forcing his planned trip to Huthailia to be aborted.
Aria stood up. “Compile a full intel report and send it to me, including all organizations and personnel involved.”
Orlando knew she was heading to Torrenia and didn’t hesitate. “Got it.”
With the semester drawing to a close and classes already wrapped up, Aria just needed to let Martin know before leaving
campus.
The assistant reported to Flynt, “Ms. Saxon bought a ticket to Torrenia. Before that, she met with Orlando, chairman of Phosphor Group.”
Torrenia was where they had first crossed paths.
Flynt’s lips curved into a faint, cold smile. “Find out exactly what happened. Dig into Orlando’s background as well.”
“Understood.” The assistant turned to leave but was called back.
“Keep Owen occupied. I don’t want him anywhere near Torrenia this time.” Flynt’s expression turned frigid. “If he sets foot in Torrenia, consider your position terminated.”
The assistant responded promptly, “Yes, sir.”
Meanwhile, Owen saw Aria’s message and called her back immediately. “I’m coming with you to Torrenia.”

“No need,” Aria’s voice came through the phone, calm and firm. “The situation there is unclear. Going alone makes me less conspicuous. I need you to provide backup here in Huthailia. I’ll bring White back.”
Owen was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Alright, I’ll send Skinny and the others to Torrenia to back you up. Have you booked your flight yet?”
Aria replied, “Yeah, got a flight for tomorrow morning.”
After hanging up, Owen wired a sum of money and dispatched Skinny and his team of seven to Torrenia.
