Chapter 1698

Hackett Manor was enveloped in silence. Everyone's eyes were on Zion, who sat on the couch. Maeve reached out and held Zion's hand. "Zee, Sheldon's team have already gone to gather information. I'm sure Charlie will be fine. Don't worry too much." But it was hard not to worry. Charlie and Lyra had been missing for 24 hours without a single clue. To make matters worse, the perimeter of The Lucent's mountains was now swarming with mercenaries, clearly meant to keep them out.

Zion sprang to his feet before the guard could finish. Maeve and Sheldon were right behind him, with their faces filled with concern. The guard replied, "Mr. Foster is just outside, but… he was carried back." Maeve's heart skipped a beat after hearing that Charlie was carried back. The three of them immediately rushed out the door.
