Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 999: She Reached a Point of No Return

Master Tam froze for a moment, then slowly recounted what he had discovered.

"The ancient texts do mention it. Before extracting the heart, the ritualist must first experience extreme highs and lows in life-profound joy and sorrow-to achieve the best results."

"Finally, all the blood in their body must be poured into the formation's core to fuel the artifact's activation. Only then will the ritual be complete."

Master Tam finished speaking, clearly disgusted by the methods he was describing.

"What kind of creature is this Claudia? Even the most twisted minds couldn't come up with something like this, yet she treats it like a textbook. Isn't that worse than being a psychopath?"

"She even dares to target my son-in-law's life. Does she think she's invincible? Let me know when you catch her. I'll deal with her personally."

Tina narrowed her eyes, a cold smile spreading across her face. "She wants my life and Uncle's? She's reached the end of the road. Claudia can go straight to hell."

Using Uncle's life as a lever to toy with her emotions-Claudia's audacity was staggering. Dealing with her was one thing, but if she dared to involve Uncle, Tina would show her what true cruelty meant.

Jared noticed the shift in her mood and gently clasped her hand. "Tina, don't waste your energy on someone like her. If she wants to come after me, let's see if she even has the ability."

The warmth of Jared's palm traveled through Tina's fingertips, calming her heart. She nodded, forcing herself to rein in her emotions.

She turned back to Master Tam and asked, "Master, you mentioned two key elements earlier. What's the other one?"

Master Tam, still fuming about Claudia's depravity, paused at Tina's question. "Didn't I tell you about it yesterday?"

Tina's eyes flickered. "You mean... the artifact used to activate the formation is the Jade Armour?"

Jared's expression tensed at these words.

This artifact was currently in Tina's possession. It seemed Claudia had already figured that out.

Master Tam, unaware of this, sighed with regret. "Exactly. At first, I thought it was just a treasure that could enhance one's abilities. I never imagined its true purpose was tied to something like this. The Langdon family must have known how important it was. They kept it hidden for centuries without letting any rumors slip."
