SWNOVELXO Chapter 78: Evelyn's arrival
"Where is her letter?" he asked, looking at him.
That man took out a letter from his dimensional ring and handed it over to the old man. The old man's hand was trembling as he held that letter in his hand. He took a deep breath and looked towards the messenger.
"You gave me good news, take this." The old man took out a ring from his finger and handed it over to the messenger.
That man's facial expression became dark as he looked towards the ring.
"My lord, this is a ruby, I am not worthy of that kind of an award." He looked towards the old man as he said those words while swallowing a mouthful of saliva, as he knew his next seven generations could live a lavish life. This thing was a treasure and worth millions of gold coins.
"Take it, I don't care about anything," he responded to the messenger and signaled him to leave. The messenger bowed towards the old man and the next moment he left the room.
The old man smiled as he looked towards the letter and he took a seat again and opened the letter.

Meanwhile, somewhere inside the Phoenix Kingdom…
An old man appeared in the sky in front of the three women. Seeing this old man, a smile appeared on Evelyn's face.
"Your senses are sharp, unlike those of your son Su Lin. Sometimes I wonder why you are not leading your clan despite you giving that position to your son, who doesn't even sense my presence." Evelyn looked towards the old man as she said those words.
Hearing those words, the old man took a deep breath and shook his head.
"I lived a very long life, my lady. I don't want to linger on those trivial matters, that's why I gave up my position, but still, I am managing things from behind," the old man responded to Evelyn.
Hearing those words, Evelyn smiled towards him.
"You are a very crafty person, old man Lin," she responded.
The old man shook his head and looked towards Evelyn.
"You are thinking highly of me, lady Evelyn, I am honored that you come to my place. My Lin clan is very fortunate." The old man Lin looked towards Evelyn as he said those words.
"I am not here for your clan. I am here for that woman named Diya, lead me to her," she exclaimed as she said those words.
The old man Lin nodded his head.
"Please follow me, lady Evelyn," he replied to her and the next moment they descended inside the Lin clan as the old man Lin led Evelyn and those two women.
The people around that place became stiff as they saw those ladies along with the elder Lin. People started wondering who that beautiful lady following behind the elder Lin really was.
Indeed, Evelyn was radiating an otherworldly aura as she followed the elder Lin. She ignored the people of the Lin clan, but Aana and Kana were looking at these people with killing intent. Evelyn noticed this and she tilted her head behind.
"Ignore them, it's a natural reaction," she said and the next moment her gaze went towards the particular side where Alena and Su Lin were standing.
Su Lin and Alena also looked towards these unknown figures who were following behind the old man Lin.
"Who is that woman?" Su Lin mumbled as he looked towards Evelyn.
Alena nodded her head.
"I don't know, this is the first time I am seeing these women, I have never seen them," she replied to him.
"She is looking very young. She must be someone known to father, but what is she doing here? We already announced that the gathering is not going to happen. They have probably not heard about this so they come here at a time like this." He looked towards Alena as he said those words.
He approached the old man Lin and looked towards him.
"Father, is this woman your guest? I have never seen her here," he said, looking towards Evelyn.
Evelyn stayed calm as she heard those words.
"On your knees." Suddenly, the whole area was surrounded by extreme killing intent and everyone felt a chilly sensation in their spines.
And the next moment Su Lin fell on his knees as his body was being controlled by someone.
"How dare you call lady Evelyn in this manner?" A woman appeared behind Su Lin with her sword on Su Lin's neck.
Seeing this, the old man Lin took a deep breath as he cursed his son.
"Kana, stop, I told you to control your anger, I don't have time for this.'' Evelyn looked towards Kana, seeing her gaze. Kana appeared behind lady Evelyn and retrieved her sword back to her dimensional ring.
Evelyn looked towards Su Lin.
"You are not worthy to know my name," she said, looking towards Su Lin and the next moment her gaze went towards the old man Lin.
"Follow me, my lady." The old man Lin nodded his head and the next moment he entered Yohan's room along with Evelyn and those two women.
"What the hell just happened? What was that?" Su Lin mumbled as he didn't know what had happened to him. Alena hurriedly approached him and helped him to stand back up.
"Who knows, but they are someone very important as father is giving her that kind of respect. She might be able to help Diya," Alena mumbled as she looked towards the direction of Yohan's room.
Meanwhile…
A few figures could be seen running towards a particular direction and they were holding lances in their hands. They resembled humans but their skin was dark blue and their height was around two hundred centimeters - around seven feet.
These people were chasing Yohan as they came closer to him.
"Damn it, they are very fast on the ground," Yohan mumbled as he was running towards a particular direction.
"Wait, what about the ability that I gained after completing the last mission?" Yohan mumbled and halted his movement, and the next moment a blue screen appeared in front of his sight as he thought about his new ability which he had gained after killing those assassins.
