Chapter 338 Heading To The Indigo Training Ground.
“Are you sure about this?” Raven raised an eyebrow, her gaze fixed on Helena’s resolute expression.
Before Helena could respond, Raven spoke in a calm, measured tone, “In three hours, your body will start trembling uncontrollably. By tonight, your legs will go numb, and you’ll gradually lose all sensation. By tomorrow, the numbness will spread upward until your entire body becomes completely paralyzed.”
Helena’s delicate, fair face turned even colder as she listened to Raven’s grim warning.
“That’s enough!” she snapped. “I know my own body.”
With that, she turned to the crowd around her. “I didn’t feel anything wrong before, but now that she’s said it, I do feel a little off. I need to rest. We’ll discuss the treasure box tomorrow.”
She then gestured to her subordinate. “Escort the guests out.”
The surrounding factions and high–ranking officials exchanged angry looks, their gazes shifting between Raven and the Vyrdenian representatives.
‘First, they sent worthless root as a birthday gift, and now this woman, clinging to Hiemaly, is cursing Helena. What exactly is Vyrdenia trying to pull?‘
Still, no one dared to act out, given that they were on Vyrdenian soil.
After a moment, a high–ranking official from a powerful nation stepped forward, his expression pleading as he addressed Helena.
“Lady Helena, we’ve traveled so far to be here. Surely, could you at least let us take a look at the treasure box?”
“Yeah, there’s an urgent matter back in my country. I need to head back this afternoon. At least seeing the treasure box in person makes this trip worthwhile.”
“We’re not asking to take the treasure box, just hoping to catch a glimpse of it.”
Helena glanced at the crowd but didn’t outright refuse.
The ring on her finger shimmered faintly.
In the blink of an eye, a transparent sphere the size of a soccer ball appeared in her palm.
Inside, faint arcs of lightning flickered ominously.
At the center of the sphere rested a square, pure white platinic box, suspended in stillness.
The moment the box appeared in Helena’s hand, a wild surge of energy rippled through the hall.
Everyone instinctively held their breath.
Their eyes locked onto the platinic box within the sphere, their expressions tinged with greed.
Even unopened, the box radiated such immense power. Whatever was inside must be a treasure of unparalleled value.
Meanwhile, Raven, Hiemaly, and Cassian exchanged glances, sensing a faint spatial ripple in the air.
It could truly tear open a path back to their past–life world!
Helena’s cool gaze swept over the covetous stares surrounding her. She said, “This transparent sphere is a protective barrier crafted by Lunshire at great expense. Only I can open it. If anyone tries to force it open or damages the barrier, the contents inside will be destroyed instantly.”
Her words hit the crowd like a bucket of cold water, snapping them out of their greedy daze.
Realizing they had thoughts of stealing the box, a chill ran down their spines as fear took hold.
Raven shifted her gaze away from Helena and asked in a low voice, audible only to Hiemaly and Cassian, “What are the chances of breaking that barrier if we grab it now?”
Hiemaly studied the barrier, his brows knitting slightly. “With our current strength, less than fifty percent. It’d take a lot of time and energy, too.”
Raven turned her attention to Cassian.
Cassian, though itching to outshine Hiemaly, had to admit with a resigned sigh, “Same.”
Almost as soon as Cassian finished speaking, Helena’s ring flashed again..
In the blink of an eye, the transparent sphere vanis
locked!
“That’s enough for today. You can all leave now,” Helena announced, her tone brooking no argument.
Though reluctant, the crowd had no choice but to shuffle out of the hall one by one.
As they left, the crowd shot Raven cold, resentful looks.

To them, if it weren’t for Raven, the treasure box might have been opened today or even fallen into their hands.
Instead, thanks to Raven, the audacious woman who relied on Hiemaly’s backing to speak recklessly, they had wasted an entire day for nothing.
Still, their anger remained unspoken. The sight of the unfortunate Miyamoto pinned to the wall earlier served as a stark warning, and no one dared utter a word against Raven.
As the crowd dispersed, Hiemaly watched their retreating figures before turning to Raven. “Shall we snatch it?”
Raven chuckled at his bandit–like suggestion and shook her head. “No need. Even if we take it, we can’t open it. Relax. She‘ s not stupid enough to risk her life. She’ll hand it over sooner or later.”
With that, Raven cast a faint glance at Helena before striding out of the hall.
She had originally thought she would waste a whole day here, but now things were ahead of schedule.
Now, she could head to the Indigo Training Ground to check on Zach. If all went well, she’d be back before nightfall. Meanwhile, in the residential area of the Indigo Training Ground.
It had been nearly four hours since Zach was locked in the storage room infested with snakes and giant cockroaches. Lola, who had just woken up from a nap, walked over to the storage room door and pulled out her key to unlock it. The rusty iron door was slowly opened, allowing a sliver of sunlight to pierce through the dim, damp room.
In that faint light, Lola finally saw the scene inside.
In that moment, her usually cold and detached gaze rippled with a surge of shock and disbelief.
