"?!"
Watching this unfold, Esvelle's face turned livid. He felt like he had been played.
This was bad.
The Family Guardian was currently away on business, and his greatest responsibility here was to ensure that Fiona did not run into trouble again.
But now, she was gone—and she had vanished right under his nose.
After hesitating for a moment, he began contacting Duke Carlot and another Rank 9 family member he could reach.
The matter was far too serious. There was no point in concealing it.
At the same time, Duke Carlot, who had already entered the dream world, also noticed something unusual.
A Crystal Bird Gem Amulet on his ring suddenly emitted a peculiar Mana Fluctuation.
After Fiona's previous eruption of destiny power had ended, Anvis had specially crafted it for Duke Carlot. Its purpose was to automatically emit Mana Fluctuations as a warning whenever Fiona's destiny power erupted again.
Seeing the amulet's reaction, Carlot's expression changed slightly, and he immediately tried to contact Esvelle, who was stationed in the Family Secret Realm.
But his first attempt failed to connect. The second time, Esvelle contacted him instead, and the result made Carlot's vision go dark.
Anvis was still missing, and now Fiona had disappeared too?!
Holding the Dream Communication Plate in his hand, Carlot wanted to curse out an idiot, but ultimately restrained himself.

This time, Esvelle was merely an experienced Rank 9. Even with prior preparations, the chances of successfully stopping her were probably slim.
What he could not understand was that, according to what he had learned from Anvis
