Chapter 5855

“Maxwell Sterling…” Her slender frame swayed. Tears shimmered in her eyes, only to freeze at once and fall as tiny shards of ice.

“He’s alive? Is he truly… still alive?”

“Yes. He lives, but remains confined, unable to break free.”

“Impossible! Maxwell violated the Celestial Clan’s strictest decree and…”

Glacern shot a glance at the woman, throat tightening. “The clan leader himself destroyed him. His very soul was meant to be dust. Kid, don’t you dare spin lies to her!”

Jared lifted his chin and met the woman’s glacial stare without flinching. “I have not lied. Mr. Sterling himself told me the Celestial chieftain hurled him into a sliver of the void, condemning him to eternal imprisonment. Were it not for his peerless skill and the protective arts guarding his soul, he would have perished ages ago.”

The woman closed her eyes, letting the silence swell until even the torches seemed to hold their breath.
