Chapter 758:
After clearing the table, Harlee informed Rhys she was heading home and left Remson Manor.
The night was still, save for the glow of distant streetlights. Within the Sanderson residence, everyone was asleep, and all the lights were off except for the faint glow of Harleeâs bedside lamp.
Harleeâs fingers tapped rapidly on her device, activating the Shadow Moon Societyâs secure platform.
Across the globe, members received her signal. In the shadows and under the sun, those people squinted their eyes, smiles of anticipation on their lips.
âFinally, a new mission.â
By morning, Harlee stepped out of the Sanderson family estate, where Auroraâs car was already waiting. Initially, Kieran and Lenny had planned to join them, but concerns over potential disruptions from energy wave interference kept them in the lab. Meanwhile, Ronald was away, tending to other responsibilities.
âHarlee, hurry up. Kieran and Lenny are eagerly waiting for your arrival,â Aurora called out.
Harlee climbed into the car and buckled her seatbelt.
âAlright, brief me on whatâs going on with this special energy wave first.â
âSure. Yesterday, the national special department sent over this unusual energy wave. Kieran believes it could revolutionize renewable energyâ¦â
Throughout the drive, Aurora rambled enthusiastically about the energy wave, though the specifics remained vague. The details were still being examined by Kieran and Lenny, leaving Aurora uncertain about its true characteristics or how it might impact scientific progress.
Despite the lack of clarity, Harlee pieced together enough information to understand the energy waveâs potential, and her mind began formulating a plan.

Arriving at the physics laboratory, they were greeted by Jodi, who had been waiting at the entrance. The moment Jodi saw Harlee, she approached quickly.
âMiss Sanderson!â
Harlee paused, saying nothing.
Jodi wasted no time introducing herself.
âMiss Sanderson, Iâm the researcher who sought your guidance last time. When I happened to see Aurora leaving earlier, I learned youâd be coming here, so I decided to wait for you. If youâre free, could I ask you a few more questions today?â
Thanks to Harleeâs guidance last time, Jodiâs research had advanced at an incredible pace.
At the monthly evaluation, she had gone from finishing last to ranking in the top three, shocking not only her peers but herself as well. She knew her own efforts couldnât fully explain such a dramatic improvement, so when she learned Harlee would be visiting the physics lab, she was determined to make the most of the chance to learn more.
Recognizing Jodi at last, Harlee gave a slight nod and said, âSure.â
Harlee, having left moments earlier, abruptly paused and circled back to Jodi, her voice devoid of emotion as she commanded, âCome along.â
âWhat?â Jodiâs eyes widened, her tone sharp with surprise.
Aurora playfully tapped Jodi on the head, her laugh ringing through the air.
âHarlee is inviting you to the department.
Hurry up and follow.â
It was then that Jodi sprang into action. She hastily lifted her foot, but in her haste, she tripped and plunged forward.
