Chapter 715 Black Mountain Standoff

“Send John to Ashen Pact,” Madam Evelyn ordered. “Dale has things we can use.”

The butler hesitated. “…” At a time like this?

But the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

Ashen Pact was in chaos.

Madam Evelyn had never seriously considered fighting Ashen Pact for anything before–but now, it was different.

Ever since learning that Dan was Dale’s son, the heir of Ashen Pact, a thorn had been lodged deep in her chest.
