Chapter 564

The scene was bleak and lifeless.

The land inside the forbidden area was barren, devoid of grass or any signs of life. Exposed rocks jutted out sharply, casting eerie shadows.

Separated by the iron fence, the contrast between the two sides was striking. Outside, while the plants had lost their leaves to autumn, some greenery still persisted. Pine trees stand resilient among the seasonal changes. Inside the fence, however, there was only desolation.

Even the crows circling above seemed reluctant to fly over this wasteland, as though instinct warned them to stay away.

The group took in the view with unease. Despite the strangeness of the scene, the well–trained subordinates maintained their composure. One of them turned to Tiffany and asked, “Madam, the path is open. Shall we proceed?”

Tiffany agreed, “Let’s go.”

She didn’t get back into the car but instead led the way on foot, Richard walking beside her with his hand in hers. The rest of the group followed closely.

The moment they stepped onto the barren ground, they could feel a change in the air. It was thinner, heavy with a strange, stale quality that made it difficult to breathe. Tiffany frowned, her discomfort clear.

Noticing this, Richard waved his hand, and a light breeze swirled around them, dispersing the stale air and making it easier to breathe.
