"The Swansea Guide, developed in the warring period of the Shadow Principality, was first recorded in Lao Tzu, an ancient book on Taoism. It uses magnets as guides and wood as its skin. It is possible to develop elements of witchcraft and spiritual power to benefit everyone. There are many people who use it as a tool to kill. Whether it started as a mechanized statue or something else."
"A long time ago, several groups competed with each other but all had their own skills. Later, their successors gathered in one place to establish a secret group hidden in the spiritual world under the name Lao Zhu. All of its disciples are known as Zhu's stealth group."
Olivia bit her lip when she heard the explanation from Samuel's old figure. "Then what does that have to do with me?"
"You?" Samuel laughed out loud before continuing. "You are a princess in the bloodline of the Swansea werewolf pack. Your mother and father were heirs to the book, but before you were born, it was stolen and never found by anyone. It is your destiny to find it by accident."
Olivia was now sitting upright in front of the desk, her body facing away from the old man as she took out a book that was bound and looked worn.
"It will take you about a month to study the entire contents of that book."
"How does grandfather mean, you have even told me about many things, does that mean I have to..."
"Olivia, I believe that you can do this. You are the only young princess who has a big heart and an amazing talent," Samuel said while trying to instill confidence in Olivia.
Those words would not escape her memory from now on, as she suddenly remembered Alpha Adam. Then she asked a question about it to Samuel's grandfather. "Then does this have anything to do with Alpha Adam?"
"Of course, we are in the same werewolf pack, although we have different names, but we were previously united in a strong bond. We will always be there for you. The serenity of the werewolf family was disturbed when a group of evil witches called The Shadows. They are a powerful secret society and have an evil goal to control the power of werewolves for their own power."
Olivia was very surprised, it turned out that there were strange things in this life that she did not expect, she did not even know about it at all.
The mission that Alpha Adam had given her earlier still pulsed in her mind, weaving a mixture of trepidation and excitement. Olivia pondered the enormity of the task she was about to undertake.
"No wonder alpha Adam gave me this mission. But, he seems to know that this book is with me."
The old figure nodded, "Obviously so, Adam has such strong instincts that he has the ability to know about other secrets and powers in this book. That only applies to members who have special powers."
Olivia actually still had many other questions. But suddenly her memory only focused on the light and its ability to heal wounds on anyone's body.
"I know what you're thinking right now..."
"Uh... What?" Olivia was instantly shaken at the guess of Samuel's figure still talking among the dim lights.
"You're thinking about your hands that are so effective in treating wounds, aren't you?" Olivia only grimaced reluctantly with a nod of her head.
"Starting from that book, you were able to learn some spells there, all for the sake of your new skill that can heal any kind of wound. Then the new knowledge you have now, you can use it for the mission you are about to undertake."
"Alright, I vow to find a way to defeat the Shadows and restore the peace that they have stolen." His determination was so strong, through their long conversation, Grandpa Samuel said again.
"Your ability has been recognized for this mission. The Shadow's ringleader is a man of two faces. He is a prominent figure in the world, and it is imperative to eliminate him without a trace. You've been assigned this mission, and once it's done, we won't forget all the ways you've reunited our group, making it safe and sound as we begin our new lives."
Olivia accepted the assignment, the weight of her destiny etched into the lines of her face. She knew it was a path shrouded in danger. "Maybe I should ask Leon for help with this mission. We'll run it together. I have to find his whereabouts!"
Olivia gathered her strength, carefully absorbing the details of the mission. The investigation of a high-ranking government official known for his cunning nature and ability to avoid death. His death would weaken their enemy.
But this mission would require more than just her detective skills and would demand her intelligence and ability to form a plan.

"Dad... dad... dad..." Leon woke up instantly, his body now covered in cold sweat. His face looking pale, his gaze turned to stare at the clock on the wall. "It's already 5:00 in the morning!"
Leon rubbed his face while sighing for a moment before he stood up to gather his strength to get up and get a glass of water to calm his mind. Then he looked at the window of his room, relating the dream to his adventure with the girl he was with the other day.
"Leon, did you dream again?" His younger sister Sofia asked out of curiosity.
Leon was startled, but he kept his emotions in check by pulling one of the chairs around the dining table and sitting on it.
"You haven't answered me yet sis!"
The young man fell silent and lowered his face. "Dreaming about dad again, it's weird."
"Dad?" Sofia's breathing sounded heavy. "He just needs our prayers, I hope he has a comfortable place in his realm now." Lines of sadness could be seen on both of their faces.
Leon treated his sister lovingly by rubbing her head. "You don't have to be sad, I think what you said is right, we should pray for his peace of mind."
In the next minute, Leon chose to sit on the terrace of the house while smoking a cigarette and looking towards the sky in the darkness with complicated feelings.

"My guess is correct, she is one of the descendant daughters of the Swansea family group."
The Omorfos region never slept, Alpha Adam could always hear the conversations of anyone he was investigating, unless that person had used protective magic and could not be monitored at a distance.
His eyes were always looking into the water vessel, the woman making him even more certain that he was the chosen being who would reconcile and straighten everything back to normal.
In the secret room, there was a stone that was the source of Adam's family's secret power. Since long ago, the stone had always been fought over and targeted by evil witches and demons who were always causing trouble.
The stone was an inheritance of his ancestors who had been killed by witches and demons who were members of one group. Adam stared at the border of the wall in front of him, it was a secret door that no one knew about but himself. Not even Selena Ashley, his own sister knew about it.
His hand fumbled with the wall as he spoke to himself. "I will continue to monitor Olivia in carrying out her mission, I will protect her as much as I can. I am grateful, it turns out that the book that Olivia has been looking for has even been in Olivia's hands. " She said as if she had connected with the woman.
"I wish Elder Samuel had explained the details without exaggerating his words to Olivia." Then her eyes looked up at the ceiling in the room, "I wish Elder Samuel could help me to unite us. I think I should really go see him."
But her steps halted as she realized that Olivia had a male friend named Leon.
"Is that guy going to get in the way of our relationship after this?" Adam closed his eyes thinking of a solution, when he finally thought clearly to put aside other matters.
