Chapter 678

The sun had already risen.

The forest echoed with the crisp calls of birds, their sounds repeating in the still morning air. Yet there was no response from Richard.

Where could he have gone?‘ Tiffany frowned.

She considered using her power to fly and search for him, but it was daylight already. Smoke was rising from nearby village chimneys, and diligent farmers were already working in the fields. If she took off, someone might see her.

With no other options, Tiffany tried to call Richard, only to remember he hadn’t brought his phone when they left the previous night.

Where could he be?‘ Tiffany frowned.

She knew Richard was highly skilled and could handle himself in any situation. If he had disappeared without a word, it had to be due to something serious. It might be something that left him no choice but to leave her behind.

After scanning her surroundings one last time, Tiffany decided to suppress her concerns for now. She descended the mountain and went to the nearest town, where she rented a car and headed straight back to Lovell City.

The first place she checked was Royal Bay. The bedroom was exactly as they had left it. Richard hadn’t been back.

Unwilling to sit idle, Tiffany pulled out the Treasure Box. Activating it, she asked directly, “Where is he?”

The Treasure Box’s sentient consciousness replied in its usual calm tone, “Master, I cannot search for him.”

Tiffany’s expression darkened. “Explain. What does that mean?”

It wasn’t that it couldn’t find him. It was that it wasn’t allowed to.

The consciousness hesitated for a moment before explaining, “This is beyond my abilities. Some things cannot be known.

It seemed the laws of existence barred her from prying into certain mysteries.

Tiffany scoffed with disdain. “You’re completely useless when it matters.”

The Treasure Box appeared to sulk, its ethereal blue glow dimmed noticeably. Its voice even held a hint of a whine, as if it were pouting.

Tiffany didn’t bother arguing further. She tucked the Treasure Box away. With no other options, she would have to wait.
