Chapter 468 Earthbound Formation
“Lucy,” Wynter’s icy gaze snapped to Lucy. “you didn’t turn down ‘Love Conquers All‘ just because you were pregnant. You turned it down because it was a web drama and the pay was low.
“You thought you were too good for a small production like that, but you didn’t expect the show to be one of this year’s biggest hits.”
Lucy shook her head vehemently at Wynter’s accusation. “No, that’s not true!” She couldn’t admit to it. If word of it got out, her career would be ruined.
She would be banned from the industry for what she had done.
With all the clues Wynter had gathered, Wynter drove home her point. “The hospital has records of your getting into an accident. The doctors might have kept your pregnancy a secret, but they won’t do the same with the accident.
“Anyone who wanted to probe into the matter would eventually uncover the truth, Lucy. You can’t run
from this.”
“Miss, I don’t know what kind of grudge you have against me to keep needling me like this,” Lucy began stubbornly, “but you’re blowing the rumors way out of proportion! I told you, I didn’t do anything. I’ll take you to court for slander!”
“Go right ahead.” Wynter gave a nonchalant shrug before straightening up and turning to Lana. “Well? Aren’t you going to do something? You said players who are caught lying will be punished individually.
The abandoned souls occupying Lana’s body never expected someone to help them.
Lana’s eyes widened as she registered this, and an insidious smile tugged on her lips as she sang, “Yes, they must be punished. Lucy, come with me!”
Once Lucy left with them, she would not return. The souls might not be able to do anything to Wynter, who wielded some form of heavenly luck, but they could torture wrongdoers to the brink of death if they
desired.
As for Wynter and the young man who seemed adamant about protecting her, the souls decided to leave them alone. Just like that, the souls reached a consensus.
“Whoa, things are getting heated!” a viewer commented.
“Are those rumors about Lucy true? Is she really that twisted?”
“Candidate number five hasn’t made any mistakes thus far. I’m guessing Lucy’s fans will be in for a rude. awakening.”
“Damn… I’m mindblown. Are the internet police watching this right now?”
The ones panicking right now were the members of the production crew.
Dexter had been notified at the very last minute that one of the guests on the show happened to be at suspect that the police had been keeping tabs on. They wanted the production crew to assist them with

the arrest.
But for some reason, they simply couldn’t get through the hospital entrance.
Meanwhile, Kaspar’s fresh–faced apprentice, Maurice Ashton, was watching the variety show while eating when he saw what happened.
“Oh, no!” he exclaimed as he bolted to his feet.
Grabbing his bowl, Maurice put a hand on his hat and ran toward the tea room. “Master! Master, quick! There’s an Earthbound Formation!” There was a loud bang as he ran into the door.
Inside the tea room, Kaspar and Dalton were having a pleasant conversation over tea.
Dalton was plagued with personal burdens, to say nothing of his noble destiny. Kaspar couldn’t take in someone with such a vulnerable life force as his apprentice.
That said, Dalton was well–read and often came up with insights that were beyond even Kaspar’s understanding. As such, Kaspar found him a delightful companion.
More importantly, Kaspar hoped he could find some clues about the person who had broken the formation the other day from Dalton.

He was just about to bring up the topic when Maurice interrupted them.
“Walk, don’t run, Kaspar chastised Maurice. “And it’s bad form to watch television shows while you eat. Haven’t I told you many times that those who study the Arcane Way must first uphold good values? Talent can only get you so far…”
Kaspar trailed off when he saw what was on Maurice’s phone. At once, he rose to his feet and stared a
the screen with wide eyes. “An Earthbound Formation!”
