Chapter 1004: The Heart She Waited for Twenty Years

Before Hayden could speak another word, Claudia waved her hand, silencing him instantly.

"Today, I'm in a good mood," she said with a wicked grin. "I'll spare your life just so you can witness everything unfold-watch them die one by one and become part of my grand plan."

Hayden's eyes widened in rage. If looks could kill, he would have murdered the old witch a thousand times over and fed her corpse to the fish.

Her "grand plan"? What nonsense. It was nothing more than the delusions of a madwoman. Immortality? If she was so powerful, why hadn't she ascended to the heavens already?

Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything-his body was paralyzed, leaving only his eyes able to move. He couldn't even speak. If he could go back two minutes, he would have screamed at Serena and Jared to run. The old witch was coming for their lives, and if even one of them escaped, there would still be hope to warn others.

But now, they were all trapped. Who would save them?

Before activating the ritual, Claudia's hands began to glow with a strange energy, and a white mist spread through the air. Everyone inside the ritual circle started gasping for air. Hayden, who had been glaring at her moments ago, rolled his eyes back and fainted.

Ten meters away, Tina and Jared stood still, watching the scene unfold with cold, unmoving eyes.

Claudia frowned as she noticed Tina appeared entirely unaffected. With a wave of her hand, she increased her power to thirty percent, but the result was the same-no effect.

Her expression darkened. "This is impossible!"

Tina, tired of pretending, smirked faintly. "There's nothing impossible about it. I was never poisoned in the first place."

Suspicion flickered in Claudia's eyes, but she quickly dismissed it, assuming Tina was bluffing. Her red lips curved into a sinister smile. "If you're not poisoned, why would you follow me here?"

Tina's tone was calm, but her gaze was sharp as a blade. "I came here not to be controlled by you, but to watch how you destroy yourself."
