Chapter 540 - An Ally
~ At Mt. Argon ~
On the same day, Andrew went to the City of Cyrus, Hannah also traveled to the province of Argon. The agent, who her friends hired, contacted her upon reaching Mt. Argon.
He led her to a bungalow house where Mheera was currently staying. The house was located at the foot of Mt. Argon.
When she entered the house, she saw Mheera sitting in the living room with her eyes closed. She looked very tired.
Aside from Mheera, there were two middle-aged people who appeared to be husband and wife. They were sitting on the opposite sofa. They were the owner of the house who let Mheera stay in their home for tonight.
The husband and wife greeted Hannah when they saw her standing at the front door. They were so hospitable that they welcomed Hannah warmly even though she was a stranger to them.
Hannah informed the husband and wife that she came there to visit her friend Mheera.
"Mheera, your friend is here. She wants to talk to you," the middle-aged woman called Mheera's attention.
When Mheera heard that, she immediately opened her eyes, turning at the front door. Mheera's gray eyes lit up when she saw Hannah.
She was already familiar with her. She could still remember that she was the woman to whom she gave the magical love potion.
"Hannah, why are you looking for me?" Mheera asked her right away.
Hannah smiled first, walking over to her. She sat down on the sofa next to Mheera. The husband and wife left them in the living room, allowing them to talk privately.
"Mheera, I need your help. I know you are the only one who can help me with my current problem," Hannah informed her with her desperate voice.
Mheera looked at her in confusion. "What do you mean that I am the only one who can help you? What is troubling you right now Hannah? What happened to the potion I gave you? Did it not work?"
Mheera asked her too many questions.
"The potion worked just fine," Hannah answered her with a gloomy expression.
She recalled how Tristan could see Zhen-Zhen in her. She was just reminded of his love for his wife.
"But I am more concerned about something. Mheera, can you help me? There is a witch who bewitched my first love! She is powerful. She can even control fire! Can you help me? What can I do against her?"
Mheera frowned upon hearing her words. "A witch? Someone who can control fire?"
Hannah nodded her head to confirm it. "Yes… she is frightening. She can hurt me anytime if I tell others about her secret."
Mheera fell silent for a moment. She was thinking about what Hannah could do about it.
"If that's the case, maybe I can give you some kind of talisman for your protection."
Hannah's eyes lit up because of her statement. "Thank you, Mheera! I am always indebted to you."
Mheera just gave her a faint smile.
"But aside from protection, can you also help me? How can I fight her? I want her to disappear from our lives!"
Mheera looked at her confusedly.
"What are you planning to do? What do you want to happen to her?" She asked Hannah with intrigue.
"I want her to reveal her power in front of the Davis Family. Once they find out her secret, I want her to be kicked out of the family. Or it's better that she would just disappear for good," Hannah mumbled, a cold glint flashed through her eyes.
"So are you saying that you want to kill her?" Mheera asked her, lifting an eyebrow.
Hannah was not able to respond. 'Do I really want her dead?' She asked herself.
Then afterward she just shook her head. She remembered how she tried to trap her in the fire.
But later on, she realized that she committed a great sin. She tried to kill someone and she regretted it.
"I don't know. Not killing her but I just want her to disappear from our lives. But I am afraid that I can't do anything against her since she is powerful."
Mheera let out a soft giggle. "How can you make her disappear if you will not kill her?"
Hannah was rendered speechless. Mheera had a point.
"What are you suggesting?"
Mheera just gave her a meaningful smile. She didn't answer her directly.
"Don't worry, just give me three days. I will give you a powerful potion that you can use against her," Mheera said, reassuring Hannah.
Hannah's face brightened up. She pounced on Mheera, hugging her.
"Thank you, Mheera. Now I can be at ease."
"So are you staying here tonight? You came from a faraway city. You can take a rest in my room." Mheera suggested.
"Alright. I will just return home tomorrow. But where are we going to meet after three days?" Hannah asked her curiously.
"Just give me your complete address. I will appear at your doorway by that time."
Hannah laughed thinking that Mheera was just joking. But in the end, she gave Mheera her complete address.
"By the way, Mheera, if you don't mind can I ask you something?"
Mheera just bobbed her head as a response.
"Why are you here? Why are you climbing lots of mountains in the country?"
Mheera glanced outside. Her face suddenly painted with longing.
"I am searching for someone…" Her eyes were filled with so many emotions.
Hannah could tell that the person she was looking for was someone special and important to her.
"Who is that person? Perhaps, someone close to your heart?"
Mheera moved her gaze back to Hannah. She smiled before nodding her head.
"Yes, he is someone close to my heart. It has been so long since the last time I saw him. We got separated because of an important mission. Now, I followed him here. But I don't know where to find him."
Hannah didn't ask further. But something was bothering her. Why is Mheera looking for that someone in the mountains, instead of cities?
She didn't have time to worry about that as long as she found an ally who could help her fight Zhen-Zhen. Hannah already felt relieved.
