NovelBookChapter 681:
“Not yet,” Jareth replied quickly. “However, there are rumors she was recently seen in the heart of Vrining.”
“Continue,” Verruckt prompted, leaning forward slightly, his interest piqued.
“Yes,” Jareth went on, sensing the rare flicker of curiosity in his boss's eyes. “Every tthey think they've found
her, she slips through their fingers. It’s driving the executives at Immortality Group to their breaking point.
Whenever they lose her trail, they vent their frustration on the test subjects.”

Vrining, taking with her a chip stolen from Immortality Group, all while pregnant. She had disappeared without

avoiding her. But Jareth quickly dismissed the absurd thought. There was no way Verruckt would ever avoid
anyone. Simply sparing her was already an unusual act of mercy.
“Keep a close watch on her,” Verruckt instructed, adjusting his tie with a flick of his wrist. When he opened his
eyes again, the crimson intensity had softened just a bit.
“Everyone out. I'm going to rest here.”
“Yes, sir.”
Jareth breathed a quiet sigh of relief, ushering the others out of the room. Once the door clicked shut, a thick
