Chapter 943 The Missing Pouch
The gravity of the situation dawned on Logan. This was no jest.
The secret clan’s revered status hinged upon their exclusive possession of a unique inheritance technique, guarded with utmost secrecy. All factions within Mount Kushburn understood the significance of this technique and that it should never be exposed.
If indeed Gideon possessed the Lestrange family’s closely guarded secret, the repercussions would be severe.
It was now evident why Zephyr was so insistent on meeting Gideon.
Zephyr’s voice remained icy as he continued, “The member who entrusted Gideon with our family’s secret inheritance was executed for this very offense. He confessed to it before his demise. Do you truly believe I would lie about such a matter?”
“No, certainly not!” Logan’s anxiety escalated, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. “When Gideon was alive, he often stored important items in his study. I’ll bring some men to search the study immediately.”
“I’ll go with you,” declared Zephyr. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
After a moment of hesitation, Logan nodded decisively. “Okay!”
Gideon’s study had once been off–limits to all but him in the Judd family, but what Zephyr had revealed today was shocking.
It wasn’t merely a matter concerning the Judd family; even Cloudmist Academy would tread. cautiously around the secret clan.
Logan, along with some key members of the Judd family and Zephyr entered Gideon’s study, meticulously combing through every corner. Yet, despite their efforts, they couldn’t find anything.
Their search yielded little more than a handful of discarded drafts nestled within the desk drawer. Upon a cursory inspection of the draft’s contents, Zephyr flew into a rage, his voice thundering with indignation. “The audacity! To think he dared to decipher our family’s secret inheritance technique!”
It was unmistakable to Zephyr that the contents of those drafts were an analysis of the Lestrange family’s closely guarded inheritance. Understandably, fury surged within him.
Logan panicked in the face of Zephyr’s wrath. Almost falling to his knees, he implored, “Mr. Lestrange, I beg for your mercy! Gideon acted alone in this scheme. The rest of us had no knowledge of his actions!

the secret inheritance technique first. We’ll talk about accountability later!”
Agitation gnawed at Zephyr’s composure. What had initially seemed like a straightforward. retrieval mission had now spiraled into an unforeseen ordeal.
In a frenzied state, Logan and his men scoured the room with increasing desperation, but to no avail. Frustration etched deep lines on Logan’s face, his anxiety mounting as he observed. Zephyr’s grim countenance. Suddenly, a spark of realization ignited within him. “I’ve figured it out!” he exclaimed.
Zephyr’s gaze snapped toward him sharply. “What have you figured out?” he demanded.
Logan analyzed, “Given that these drafts were found in the drawer, it’s likely that Gideon previously stored the secret technique here. Since it’s not here now, he likely took it with him.”
Indeed, Logan’s deduction proved to be accurate.
Gideon had always kept the secret inheritance technique locked away until recently, he took both the original version and simplified version out to study and cultivate it. However, after his cultivation, he focused on seeking revenge on Emrys and neglected to return it to its original place.
Little did he anticipate meeting his end away from home.
“Where is Gideon’s body?” Zephyr inquired, his brow furrowed in concern.
“It’s in the hidden room with the ice coffin. I’ll investigate immediately,” Logan responded. promptly.
With a sense of urgency, Logan proceeded to the hidden chamber, relieved that they had yet to deal with Gideon’s body. However, upon opening the ice coffin to search the body, he was met with an unexpected sight.
Only then did he recall that Gideon’s attire lay in tatters after his fight with Emrys, and his storage pouch, likely containing the coveted technique, was missing, left somewhere outside. amidst the chaos.
Impatience laced Zephyr’s words as he demanded, “What’s going on? I told you to find the secret technique. Why are you just standing there?”
Glancing at Gideon’s battered form, he was similarly confused. How’d he end up like this?
Logan’s expression mirrored his inner turmoil as he replied, “His storage pouch must have been taken by Mr. Lund.”
In truth, Logan was certain, for he distinctly recalled Emrys stooping to retrieve something
