Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 1034: Testing the Waters

Tina and Jared returned to their residence.

An hour later, Cole Lyon called. "Serena, the men in black were gone by the time we arrived, but we've confirmed the bodies. All of them are missing their hearts."

"There are fifteen in total, all underage girls. None of them appear in any database." This didn't surprise Tina.

The body she'd come across with Nancy last time was likely from the same source.

Given Claudia's methods, commanding her death warriors to capture these individuals for healing was hardly a challenge.

The reason Claudia hadn't acted before was her fear of exposing her ultimate trump card too soon.

But now, taking the hearts of more than a dozen girls in one go revealed her determination.

Claudia wanted a decisive, final showdown.

The next day, Tina brought a box to Master Tam.

When it came to rare and mysterious artifacts, no one knew more than him.

Master Tam glanced at the box briefly before nodding. "I can open this, but I'll need two days."

Tina nodded and was about to leave when Master Tam stopped her. "No rush. Look at this first. I just discovered it."

He handed her an old book with yellowed pages.

Tina glanced at the cover. It was a historical record of a local region, at least a century old.

The location was in the southern area. But as her gaze fell on a certain line of text, her brows furrowed sharply.

She decided to read the entire story.

After finishing, she placed the book down, a realization forming in her mind like
