Chapter 459 Let’s Not Pretend Anymore
Upon hearing Bailey’s words, Simone san

After absorbing Bailey’s words, Simone suggested, “Since we’re uncertain, let’s visit Cloudmist Observatory later to test it out. Mr. Lewis doesn’t wield such immense power, so the individual aiming to take away your physique is either Magnus or Sage. I suspect my master’s demise is linked to one or both of them.”
Baily was also keen on discovering who orchestrated the plot to exploit Cubilis and strip him of his. physique. “Alright!” he continued, “Should we head to the ancient tomb now, or should we dismiss it? I don’t mind, but I believe you should still consider the lives of those ordinary people near the ancient tomb.”
After havin ved for many years and witnessed numerous separations between life and death, he genuinely in’t care much.
Simone chuckled.

surge of negative energy. After all, the play must unfold in its entirety.”
She couldn’t bear to let those innocent ordinary people suffer and die because of her.
She added, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Let’s see the show they put on. I believe the two of us working together can still give it a shot.”
If they fought alone, they might be at risk.
But when the two of them joined forces, they could even contend with a powerful celestial master who had achieved the complete unity of the Divine State.
At let they could protect themselves when working together.
And she still had a trump card.
here was also one more reason why she had to go. Today was a very special day.
She had to face it to crack the code and achieve true rebirth.
Bailey smiled, “Then let’s go. Today, I’ll risk my life to accompany you.”
erhaps it was Simone’s personality that he appreciated and made him want to protect her.
The two of them drove to the location of the ancient tomb..
Upon arriving nearby, they noticed strands of negative energy spreading in all directions.
Simone reached out and poked the little snake on her wrist.
The little snake, still asleep, woke up, opened its lazy eyes, and lazily opened its mouth to absorb the surrounding negative energy.

Simone and Bailey both took out negative energy mystical tools, enabling them to absorb the negative energy around them.

After half our of walking, they came across a hole dug by a tomb raider, emitting negative energy.
Simone ked Bailey to stand still while she examined the surroundings.
She said “There are no traces of any formations here, so let’s descend.”
Bailey nodded and said, “Alright!” He was beginning to realize that Simone was extraordinary, but he didn’t delve deeper into it.
As they proceeded further, the negative energy thickened, but they still withstood it.
Although they encountered numerous traps along the way, the two of them easily came them together.
After another ten minutes of walking, they reached the burial site of the tomb’s owner.
Upon entering the burial chamber, a scene unfolded before them-several individuals lay strewn on the ground, their lives teetering on the edge, resembling tomb raiders caught in a precarious situation.
Magnus and three companions sat cross-legged, each clutching a mystical tool to quell the relentless surg

Bailey acknowledged him with a nonchalant nod. “Yes, we are.”
Simone approached the coffin, her observant eyes taking in every detail.
The liule snake on her wrist adeptly absorbed any negative energy tempting to infiltrate her b*dy.
Magnus watched as Simene circled the coffin, her gaze lingering at him from different points.
Upon feeling perplexed, he couldn’t help but frown. “Simone, ce and help us. What are you scrutinizing?”
Simone pachalantly leaned against the coffin, seemingly impervious to any malevolent spirits. “Tim mer admiring how realistic your props for this performance are.

So, she figures what was going on immediately.
Uninterested in prolonging the act, she exposed their scheme.
Magnus hadn’t anticipated Simone unraveling their plan so
swifilly.
His gaze bore a mix of curiosity and surprise.
Despite the short duration, he found Simone inscrutable.
Bailey approached Simone, his gaze icy as he looked at Magnus. Tve left Cubilis, and your commands no longer hold sway. Cut the pretense; get straight to the point.”
Though he had interacted with Magnus extensively, Bailey had never seen this side of him, let alone expected the former to secretly calculate against him for so many years.
Upon hearing Simone and Bailey say so, Magnus suddenly stood up and smiled. “Well, I’ll stop

Since they couldn’t deceive the two of them, continuing the act would just make them mere puppets.
The looked at Bailey and inquired, ‘Old Master, how long have you known Simone to place such immense trust in her?”
Cailey responded, ‘If I didn’t trust her, should I trust you all?”
Then, he questioned directly, “Who coveted my physique, you or Sage?”
Magnus sneered, “Of course, it was me.”
Sage has secluded himself in Cloudmist Observatory for years, fearing involvement. He lacks the courage to conspire against you,” Magnus admitted.
He cast an avaricious gaze at Bailey. “Old Master, you’ve lived for so many years; isn’t that enough? Why not let a younger generation like me live a few more years?”
