Chapter 1027: Courtney

For whatever reason, now was not the best time for her to intervene.

Everything had to wait until Courtney spoke first.

Tina couldn't shake the memory of Courtney's deeply confused voice over the phone: "Tina, this is impossible..."

It felt as though something had happened.

Noticing her furrowed brow, Jared reached out and gently pressed his hand against it. "Tina, Courtney is skilled enough to handle herself now. We don't need to worry about her."

Tina nodded.

That was precisely why she had allowed Courtney to conduct her own investigation. Courtney carried her traits-the kind of person who wanted to uncover the truth with her own hands, rather than rely on someone else to deliver the answers.

Back at home, Tina napped as usual, but this time, she didn't expect to sleep until nightfall.

When she woke, the sky outside was already too dark to see clearly.

Her phone showed several missed calls, none of which were from Courtney. Instead, they were from Jayden.

Sitting up, Tina dialed back. "Jayden."

"Miss, Orion Woodwind has made a move."

Tina's voice sharpened. "Speak."

"This afternoon, we observed him using the projection of light to repeatedly signal with his fingers. However, these gestures don't match any of the cipher programs we've cracked. We can't decode them, and even under interrogation, he hasn't reacted at all." Tina's tone turned cold. "Send me the surveillance footage."

"Yes."

The next second, Tina received the video.

Opening it, she saw exactly what Jayden had described-Orion Woodwind was indeed signaling.

However, it wasn't a coded message. It was a series of symbols-runes.

She had seen these during her studies of supernatural abilities.

When decoded, the symbols translated to four words: "Justice will prevail."

A cold smile curled on Tina's lips.

Orion Woodwind's so-called justice was nothing more than the brainwashing Claudia had inflicted on him.

For someone already nearing the end of their life to still dream of eternal youth, Claudia's skill at manipulating people was undeniably impressive.

But to Tina, it wasn't even worth her attention.

Whether this was an attempt to provoke her or lure her into a trap, Claudia's ultimate goal was undoubtedly the Jade Armor fragments.
