Chapter 316: Chapter 316: The Important Intelligence That Arrived Late

In order to stabilize his mental state as quickly as possible, Irving deliberately rested in his bedroom for an entire day. It was not until the afternoon of the second day that he finally woke from his slumber. At this point, the headache he felt was not as intense as it had been the day before. This indicated that the impact of the Lava Giant puppets on Irving's mind was not as severe anymore.

Just as Irving finished tidying up and was about to head out for breakfast, he suddenly heard a loud knocking at the front door. Before he could react, Wendy's voice came from outside.

"I'll be right there! Stop knocking already! You're going to break the door down!"

Wendy quickly opened the door. Nick's face was full of urgency as he asked Wendy, "Is Irving home? I have some very important information that I need to tell him immediately!"

"Irving is indeed home, but he might still be asleep. I don't think you should wake him; he just recovered from his injuries not long ago," Wendy replied, feeling that Irving needed more rest. Hence, she instinctively intended to send Nick away.

After hearing this, Nick hurriedly said, "This situation is absolutely critical! Irving must know right away! This information is related to the Night Blades!"

Irving hadn't intended to come out immediately, but upon hearing that the information was about the Night Blades, he pushed open the bedroom door.

"I'm right here! Come in quickly and tell me what you've got!"

Upon hearing Irving's voice, Nick immediately entered Irving's home.

"Our spies from Angel Guild embedded within the Night Blades have just reported some very important intelligence! The highest leader of the Night Blades has been eliminated! The one who took down the Night Blades' leader is a powerful being with chaos powers! This being with chaos powers has now become the new highest leader of the Night Blades!

Under his command, the Night Blades have recently begun searching for artifacts related to chaos powers."

After Nick finished conveying the intelligence, Irving was stunned. He knew very well that the powerful being with chaos powers mentioned in Nick's report was Shadow Celestial. He never expected that Shadow Celestial would become the new highest leader of the Night Blades. This meant that from now on, he would have to confront Shadow Celestial directly.

Irving carefully recalled all the information he had about Shadow Celestial in his mind. He considered Shadow Celestial to be a formidable opponent.

"Is your information accurate? Doesn't the highest leader of the Night Blades have any trump cards? Did he really get eliminated so easily by Shadow Celestial?"

When Nick heard Shadow Celestial's name from Irving, he seemed to connect the dots. He finally understood why Aron and Anna were so shocked when they received this intelligence; it turned out that the new highest leader of the Night Blades was someone known to both Irving, Aron, and Anna.

"This information should be very accurate! Aron and Anna didn't question it at all! They were both extremely shocked when they heard the news!"

At that moment, Irving's emotions were quite complex. Although he subconsciously believed that one day he would have to confront Shadow Celestial, he didn't expect that day to come so soon. After thinking for a moment, Irving seized on another important piece of information from the report: the chaos artifacts.

"The chaos artifacts mentioned in the intelligence probably exist not only in the shelter game but also in the real world," he concluded.

Irving's inference was well-founded. Shadow Celestial had previously mentioned that the ancestor of the Smith family was a fabrication of his own, which indicated that at least at one time, Shadow Celestial had the ability to influence the real world. Thus, it was entirely reasonable for Shadow Celestial to place certain chaos artifacts in the real world.

"Alright, I understand! I'll head to Angel Guild this afternoon, and I will discuss this matter in detail with Aron and Anna," Irving stated before starting his breakfast.

Nick didn't say much else and left directly, as he had come solely to provide this intelligence to Irving. After Nick departed, Wendy walked in.

"I think you should really take a few days to rest. If you keep pushing yourself like this, I'm worried your health will deteriorate very quickly," Wendy said sincerely. She genuinely didn't want Irving to overexert himself.

Irving sighed. "I really don't want to be so exhausted either! But there are so many things I need to handle. I've finished my breakfast, and I need to get to Ocean Group as soon as possible."

With that, Irving left without delay. He was heading to Ocean Group to check on Vicky's condition.

Although he had saved Vicky before, Irving could not be sure about her condition. After rescuing her, he was immediately pulled into the battle at the Abyss of Death.

Around 11 AM, Irving arrived at the headquarters of Ocean Group. There, he first met Benjamin.

Benjamin was already aware of the unexpected situation Irving had encountered in the shelter game.

"I don't have much insight into the abnormal activities of the Lava Giant. However, I can tell you that we at Ocean Group do have some understanding of the Lava Giant. I've compiled all the information related to the Lava Giant. If you want to review it, I can provide it to you right now."

Benjamin was a very astute person. He knew that information about the Lava Giant was crucial for Irving, so he had gathered the intelligence beforehand.

Irving nodded with a smile. "You're indeed a very thoughtful person! This information will definitely be a great help to me!"

After saying this, Irving headed directly to the president's office of Ocean Group. Vicky was there managing various documents for the company. Although Vicky had not fully recovered, she had to fulfill her duties as president. Donald's condition had worsened significantly, and he might leave this world at any moment.

"You seem to be in a condition similar to mine," Irving said in a gentle tone upon seeing Vicky.

Vicky looked up and met Irving's gaze with a soft expression. "Neither of us is in great shape, but we're not doing too badly either. The main thing we have in common is that we both have a lot to handle."

Irving spoke these words with a smile while looking into Vicky's eyes, which made her laugh.

"Thank you so much for saving me earlier. If it weren't for you, I would have certainly been killed by one of the Night Blades' elders," Vicky expressed her gratitude sincerely.

Irving felt that Vicky's gratitude was unnecessary. He walked over to her and gently ruffled her hair. "Do we really need to say thanks to each other? No matter what danger you face, I will always be there to rescue you!"

Irving's words deeply moved Vicky. After that, they simply gazed at each other, saying nothing. They found that just looking at each other helped calm their feelings.

About fifteen minutes later, Irving took the initiative to break the silence. "I'm relieved to see that you're not seriously injured. I have some very important matters to attend to this afternoon, so I need to head to the Angel Guild headquarters as soon as possible."

Vicky felt a hint of disappointment at Irving's words.

Vicky, feeling a bit reluctant, asked Irving, "It's been a long time since we had a meal together. When can we have dinner, just the two of us?"

Irving pondered for a moment before responding. "Perhaps I'll have some free time tomorrow evening. Let's meet at our usual restaurant at 7 PM."

Vicky's face lit up with joy at Irving's words. "It's a date then! I'll make sure to wear my prettiest dress for the occasion!"

Irving nodded and quickly left afterward. Vicky watched him go. Although Irving had agreed to have dinner with her the next evening, she still felt that his concern for her wasn't very strong.

Vicky picked up the phone from her desk. "It's me! How's the investigation I asked you to do coming along?"

"President! I've gathered most of the information on Wendy and Sophia! Wendy is indeed a professional assassin, and she has previously attempted to assassinate Irving. Sophia is the eldest daughter of the Green family from Starling City, and she is currently missing. She's likely become a werewolf and is fighting alongside Elder Lawrence."

Benjamin had conducted a thorough investigation into Wendy and Sophia as per Vicky's orders. After learning about the two, Vicky smiled and said, "It seems they pose no threat to me at all. Irving would never consider either of them as his soulmate."

Vicky felt very relaxed at that moment. There was no way Irving could genuinely like Wendy, who had once tried to kill him. As for Sophia, she could have been a fierce competitor, but now that she had become a werewolf and was collaborating with Elder Lawrence, she had effectively positioned herself against Irving.

"President, you don't need to worry too much. From what I see, Irving must prefer you more!" Benjamin quickly added from the other end of the line.

Benjamin didn't want the relationship between Vicky and Irving to deteriorate. In his view, only Irving could ensure the safety of Vicky and Ocean Group. Without Irving's help, Benjamin and his subordinates alone would not be able to protect the organization.

Upon hearing Benjamin's words, Vicky confidently replied, "That's natural! He definitely likes me more!"
