Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 35

Michael tried to defend himself. "I don't know if the Shadow Healer is real or not, but K definitely exists. You've heard of Quinn Hayes, right? Everybody has."

Andres lifted his gaze. "The flashy heir from the occult circles?"

For centuries, old money and the Mystic Order had been locked in the same dance—each feeding the other's influence, each propping up the other's power.

Master Moreno—well past a hundred—had been Caden's personal astrologer back when Caden was still alive.

The Occult World was split into countless factions. And with Moreno's age, he'd long since been thinking about retirement, about fading into the background for good.

Quinn, on the other hand, was one of the Mystic Order's rising stars. Young, but already carrying serious weight in Aethelburg.

Michael said, "Back then, K got bored and set up Ksite. The whole business model was simple: people paid him to solve problems."

"And Quinn was K's first client. If we find Quinn, maybe we can get news about K through him."

The suggestion sparked something in Andres—thin, sharp hope.

If it meant finding the Shadow Healer, he didn't care how indirect the route was.

"Michael," Andres asked, "you can reach Quinn?"

Michael slapped his shoulder. "Give me a little time. I'll set something up—get you two in the same room."

The gathering wasn't even over when Andres made an excuse and left early.

He checked the time. 10:30 p.m.

The moment he stepped outside, he realized it was pouring. Thunder rolled now and then, lightning tearing open the sky.

Murray, his personal bodyguard, stayed close behind.

Murray opened a large umbrella and shielded Andres as he escorted him into the black executive van.

A soft, syrupy voice called out from nearby. "Mr. Andres."

Andres turned.
