Chapter 781



Elsewhere, Kallie and Sophie returned to the hotel, only to be greeted by a scene of utter chaos. A gang of intimidating-looking men, clearly not from around there and with a distinctly menacing air about them, had stormed into the lobby and systematically destroyed everything in sight.

Terrified guests scattered in all directions, seeking refuge from the mayhem.

The hotel manager rushed in, his face pale with fear. The moment he saw the destruction and the men responsible, he practically prostrated himself before them.

Sophie cowered behind her mother, her eyes wide with fear.

Kallie protectively pulled Sophie closer, her gaze sweeping across the terrified faces of the onlookers. A flicker of confusion crossed her features.

“Why isn’t anyone calling the police?” she wondered aloud.

“These thugs are trashing this place!”

gⱯlnσν𝓮𝓁s․com is where magic happens The manager continued to grovel before the gang, making no move to reach for his phone.

A man nearby shook his head in despair. “Calling the cops won’t do any good with these guys. Even if the police arrive and scare them off, they’ll just come back later with a vengeance.”

Fear hung heavy in the air. Kallie, a sudden realization dawning on her, asked, “Are those guys part of some kind of gang?”

The man’s eyes widened in terror, and he frantically gestured for her to be quiet. “Shhh! Keep your voice down! Didn’t you see the tattoos on their arms? Those tattoos represent the devil himself. They’re definitely gang members. Don’t just stand there gawking! Get out of here, and get out fast! Those guys are armed. If they hurt you, you won’t get any justice for it.”

Panic erupted, and people scrambled to escape the hotel lobby.

But Kallie and Sophie remained rooted to the spot. Sophie’s curiosity outweighed her fear. “Mom, those tattoos aren’t devils. They’re unicorns.”

Unicorns were symbols of prosperity and good luck in Avalon. How had tattoos of unicorns become associated with evil and these menacing gangsters?

Kallie recalled seeing similar tattoos on the thugs who had stolen her purse earlier. At the time, she hadn’t given it much thought. She never imagined it was actually the symbol of that dangerous gang. This meant there was a good chance that the gang’s leader, or at least some of its top members, were Avalonian.

Suddenly, Kallie remembered Rola, the girl with Avalonian lineage. It all made sense now why Rola had acted so arrogantly.

Lost in her thoughts, Kallie was startled by a sweet, musical voice coming from behind her.

“Excuse me,” the voice said. “Could you please let me…”

Kallie turned to find a woman in a flowing white dress standing behind her. Her long, dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, framing a strikingly beautiful face. Her eyes, sharp and intelligent like a cat’s, sparkled with an inner light.

Without thinking, Kallie stepped to the side, creating a path for the woman.

The woman offered Kallie a small smile, a silent greeting, before continuing forward, seemingly unfazed by the chaotic scene unfolding before her. Kallie was stunned. She felt a strong urge to stop the woman from entering the building.

But much to Kallie’s surprise, the group of thugs who had been wreaking havoc suddenly froze in their tracks.

The most intimidating man in the group even bowed his head respectfully toward the woman. “We’ve destroyed everything in this place just like you asked. But the person we’re looking for still refuses to come out.”
