“Is that a vintage hotel?” Ailuodi exclaimed in surprise.
“You jest, ma’am. This entire mountainous area is private territory, and outsiders are not allowed to enter for sightseeing,” the driver replied. “Are you sure you have received an invitation? If not, I can still take you all back.”
Ailuodi and Chaoyang looked at each other.

The navigation map didn’t even mark a castle here, and the vast mountain area in front of them had only one unified name: Montlit Nature Reserve.
Which meant, was it not just private territory but also the kind of secluded estate with such a high level of privacy that even the name of the place wouldn’t show up on the map?
This could no longer be simply described by wealth!
“Whoever lives here must be a lord,” Leisk sighed.
“And not a lord of low status either. At least Earl Li Qiang doesn’t enjoy this level of a castle.”
The driver showed a look of bewilderment.
Ailuodi coughed twice, “Please continue driving, we are invitees.”
Indeed, just as the driver had said, after turning off the highway exit down the slope, there was a checkpoint similar to a toll station, but the people standing in the central booth were not toll collectors but men in black suits. Under their direction, the vehicle stopped by the side of the road.
“Can the three of us really get into this kind of internal gathering?” Chaoyang asked somewhat dubiously.
“Don’t worry, I asked K, and he said that friends and family members can come, as he has prepared plenty of rooms. It’s just that the non-invited guests can not attend the meetings,” Ailuodi said. “If they don’t let you in, then I won’t go either.”
A man in black came over and leaned in to ask, “Hello, may I know why you have come here?”
“Um… I am here at K’s invitation,” Ailuodi replied, feeling somewhat uneasy herself. After all, up to this point, she didn’t even know the real name of the person, and using a screen name from an online chat in such a setting would seem trifling to anyone.
But as soon as the words left her mouth, the man’s expression immediately turned serious, and he bowed in greeting before opening the car door on Angel’s side, “Excuse me, may I verify it?”
“Uh… how will you verify it?”
The man took out a device resembling a card reader from his waist and handed it to Ailuodi, “Please just extend your finger into the sleeve.”
Angel did as instructed.
“Ah!” She suddenly let out a soft, low cry.
“What’s wrong?” Chaoyang asked.
“Nothing, I felt my finger get pricked.”
“Identity verified, Miss Ailuodi. You are allowed to enter,” the man directly read out her name. “These individuals are your friends? They may also proceed with you, but we need to register their identities.”
Ailuodi withdrew her finger and saw a trace of blood remaining on the fingertip, “You verify based on blood?”
“More accurately, it’s DNA information,” the other party reattached the device to their waist and then made a welcoming gesture, “Please follow me.”
Before entering the checkpoint, Chaoyang saw a look of envy on the taxi driver’s face.
After registering their identities, they transferred to another internal sedan and arrived at the parking apron of the castle’s front yard in less than ten minutes.
Here, the four of them could fully witness the castle in its entirety.
Overall, it possessed a style much like that of a Gothic cathedral, with many towers and decorative spires atop columns and intercolumnar arches visible throughout. The main tower was nearly fifty meters tall, and the skirt building below it had three stories, a considerable size for a castle. Its stone walls and decorative materials seemed very new, unlike a historical relic, more resembling a construction from the past decade.
The butler in charge of receiving them introduced himself as Stewick. He handed Ailuodi four room keys, “Your rooms are on the second floor, the dining room, library, and swimming pool are on the first floor and available 24 hours. For other recreational facilities, you can check the instruction book in your room. The gathering begins tomorrow afternoon; before that, you are free to do as you please. If you have any questions or needs, feel free to contact me.”
“As expected of the great lord’s castle, there’s even a swimming pool,” Luowei Siya said excitedly, “It’s been a long time since I swam in the sea.”
“You can go if you want but remember to swim slowly, don’t scare anyone,” Chaoyang cautioned. In his view, this castle was essentially a lavishly decorated private hotel; no wonder K said their lodgings were not far from the gathering — it was not just close, it was right there!
“It’s almost six o’clock; shall we settle our luggage first, then come down for dinner?” suggested Ailuodi.
“No problem,” all three agreed.
“Look who’s here, isn’t that Miss Ailuodi? How did you end up getting called here too?” A cold voice suddenly came from behind them.
Chaoyang turned around and saw a strikingly attractive woman approaching. She was nearly 1.75 meters tall, seemingly in her mid-twenties, with golden curly hair, bright eyes, arched eyebrows, and red lips showing white teeth; her star-like appearance was nothing short of that of a celebrity.
Her attire was also quite sophisticated — a violet silk dress paired with a glittering sapphire necklace, clearly not a cheap ensemble. And her figure was shapely, presenting a stark contrast to the more petite Ailuodi; the plunging neckline of her dress indicated an undeniable confidence in her own allure.
If it was not for the slight mockery in the woman’s initial words, Chaoyang would have mistaken her for a good friend of Ailuodi’s.
“I’m sorry, do we know each other?” Ailuodi herself was perplexed and frowned as she asked, “How do you know my name?”
“Tiffany has mentioned you more than once. You’re not still helping old ladies cross the street or sleeping in slums, are you?” The woman shrugged, “After all these years, how much of your Angel abilities are left? I suggest you stop meddling in adults’ affairs and go back to live peacefully in your backwater hometown, wouldn’t that be nice?”
“What are Angel abilities?” Leisk muttered under his breath.
“Shush,” Luowei Siya tugged at his sleeve.
Although they spoke quietly, the woman took notice, “What’s the matter, the friends you brought along can’t even figure out who you are? Or did you intentionally bring along some ordinary friends to pretend you’re not so alone?”
Leisk was displeased, “Miss Ailuodi and I fought side by side against an apocalyptic threat, to say we shared life and death isn’t an exaggeration. And you know her name, yet you don’t introduce yourself; such behavior is hardly polite.”
“Little friend, you’re quite the talker, invoking apocalyptic threats and all. If you want to play house, go find this young lady to play with,” the woman scoffed. “But you’re right, no matter who the other person is, basic courtesy is required. Remember this well, my name is Dolly Yasha. As for Angel abilities…”
She smiled faintly, and suddenly two wings of light unfurled from her back, splitting almost half the lobby! Under the wings that shimmered like flowing light, the inside of the building lit up as if hundreds of lights had suddenly turned on, with stained glass windows and ornate columns glowing resplendently.
“Watch closely, this is the power we possess.”
