Chapter 551: What Should I Do Suddenly, Matteo felt a chill run through his body, goosebumps rising all over his skin. Emrys waved his hand and said, "Don't call me 'Master' in the future. Just call me Mr. Lund."

Matteo didn't quite understand, but he complied nonetheless, saying, "Very well, Mr. Lund."

Emrys nodded approvingly and continued, "There's something I need to discuss with you, Matteo. Your intuition and perseverance have brought you this far, but there's still much you need to learn. I have a task for you."

Matteo's curiosity was piqued. "A task, Mr. Lund?"

"Yes," Emrys replied. "I've been investigating a series of strange occurrences in Jadeborough, and I believe they are linked to a hidden power within the city. I need you to assist me in uncovering the truth behind these events."

Matteo's eyes widened with a mixture of excitement and apprehension. "What kind of occurrences are we talking about?"

Emrys leaned in, his voice low and serious. "Disappearances, unexplained phenomena, and whispers of an underground network that manipulates the city's fate. It's dangerous, and I need someone I can trust to help me."

Without hesitation, Matteo responded, "I'm ready to help, Mr. Lund. Whatever it takes."

Emrys smiled, a glint of approval in his eyes. "Good. We'll start tonight. Meet me at the old warehouse on the outskirts of the city at midnight. Be prepared for anything."

Matteo nodded, determination etched on his face. "I'll be there."

As Matteo left Apricot Hall, his mind raced with thoughts of the upcoming mission. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but the opportunity to work closely with Emrys and uncover the mysteries of Jadeborough was too important to pass up.

Emrys watched Matteo leave, a contemplative expression on his face. He had high hopes for Matteo, but he also knew the dangers they would face. This mission would test Matteo's limits and reveal whether he was truly ready for the challenges ahead.

That evening, as the city of Jadeborough settled into the quiet of the night, Matteo prepared himself for the meeting. He checked his gear, ensuring he had everything he might need, and set off towards the old warehouse.

The streets were eerily quiet, and a sense of foreboding hung in the air. When Matteo arrived at the warehouse, he saw Emrys waiting for him, his silhouette barely visible in the dim light.

"You're here," Emrys said, his voice barely above a whisper. "Good. Let's begin."

They entered the warehouse, moving silently through the shadows. Emrys led Matteo to a hidden passageway that descended into the depths below the city. As they ventured deeper, the air grew colder, and the walls seemed to close in around them.

Matteo's heart pounded in his chest, but he remained focused, following Emrys closely. They reached a large chamber, illuminated by a faint, eerie glow. Strange symbols adorned the walls, and the air was thick with an otherworldly energy.

Emrys turned to Matteo, his expression grave. "This is it. The source of the disturbances. We need to find out what's causing this and put a stop to it."

Matteo nodded, ready to face whatever lay ahead. Together, they stepped into the chamber, prepared to confront the unknown forces that threatened Jadeborough.
