Chapter 1555 Used As Wynter's Weapon
"Great." Wynter looked at Logan, her eyes filled with approval. "From now on, I will withdraw all the protection around you and leave only Leo by your side. If anything happens, I will sense it immediately."
Logan nodded, fully aware that the only reason he had been safe for so long was due to Wynter's meticulous protection. Thanks to her, his presence had been completely hidden from the rest of the Winston family.
wynter had previously used the Arcane way on him and borrowed items from Mt. Dragon to conceal the dark energy he naturally exuded, keeping unborn spirits at bay.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Before that, Logan was often haunted by spirits that latched onto him. Recently, though, nothing of the sort had happened, largely because of the protective bracelet he wore.
However, once those defenses were gone, Logan would again become vulnerable to being tracked. Though it wouldn't be immediate, with time, he would definitely be found.
The fact that his birthdate and horoscope were still in the Winston family's possession would make it even easier for that man to locate him.
If Wynter stayed by his side, it would interfere with the plan.
Logan wasn't like Tobias, whose every move was under public scrutiny. If something happened to Tobias, people would notice and raise an alarm immediately since he was an actor.
This kind of high-profile attention would have prevented that man from ever trying to possess Tobias. Otherwise, that man would have set his eyes on Tobias long ago.
In contrast, Logan was a much easier target-his low profile ensured no one would notice, just like how that man quietly moved from Diego to Clyde. The choice of the vessel mattered a great deal.
From Wynter's perspective, that man had always acted from the shadows. He had been cautious when he possessed Clyde, and he was likely the same now with his new host.
It appeared that the man had suffered a significant setback in his Arcane Way, possibly at the hands of someone with considerable power.
Wynter glanced at Clyde's corpse lying nearby, contemplating another possibility. There might be someone or something in this world that the man feared, which was why he hadn't fully revealed himself.
"Be cautious in everything you do. If something feels even slightly off, tell me immediately."
She handed Logan the purple sugilite jade along with a numbered tag. "Also, congratulations-you've officially joined the Special Unit. Let me give you a quick overview. Our unit operates under the highest authority and is not tied to any local jurisdiction.
"In special circumstances, we have immediate execution power. We can go after corruption at the highest levels or deal with unresolved grievances at the lowest.
"However, our identities must remain confidential, even from our families. Everything we do is classified at the highest level of secrecy.
"Listen carefully to what I have to say next. We're expecting an unprecedented outbreak of a pandemic in three months, centered in Cascadia's southern region.
"Based on the intel we've gathered and my own analysis, it's likely not a natural occurrence-there's a high chance it's man-made.
"For so many years, foreign influence has been infiltrating our country, and your family the Winston family- might all be involved in this, except for you."
Wynter watched Logan frozen in place, with a look of confusion or perhaps shock on his face. His eyes had a glazed, distant quality, reflecting his overwhelmed state.
"I'll give you a brief rundown of some cases we've handled," Wynter continued as she scrolled through her phone.
"There was a large-scale human trafficking case, the Hundred-Day Anti-Drug Campaign, international rescue operations, and the one you've seen before a covert espionage infiltration case. This was mentioned online, but you probably dismissed them as jokes."
At this moment, Logan felt completely numb, as if his brain no longer belonged to him.
He had always known that Wynter was special, but he never imagined she was this special. He had always thought of her as a businesswoman who just happened to be very good at fortune-telling.
