Chapter 2572
Then, Preston speculated. "How about this? There could’ve been a possibility that whoever had saved you back
then had stolen it?"
'If it wasn't on her, is it possible that someone could've intercepted it along the way? As she woke up with amnesia
and did not remember anyone, that perpetrator might've taken it and hid it elsewhere.' Preston thought to himself.
However, Nicole felt that it was unlikely that someone could have stolen it from her, as she was the only person
who knew how to activate the Fire Crest.
"Perhaps they took it and sold it off without knowing the value of it," Preston muttered.
In a flip, the look on Preston's face changed, and he exclaimed, "What if they took it and sold it off!"
Nicole chuckled. "I don't think they would do something like that. The people there? They all live very honest lives."
Nicole was certain that the bunch of people who had saved her would not commit such petty crimes. After all, the
device housing the Fire Crest itself was rather insignificant.

Preston continued, becoming increasingly agitated as he could not figure out where the Fire Crest had gone if the
people who had saved Nicole had not pawned it.
As for Nicole, a sudden rush of emotions came over her. She was unable to pin it down into words, but she had a
hunch that she had seemingly stumbled across the Fire Crest somewhere.
'Where did I come across these words before? Was it in one of the sessions I had? What was the meaning behind
them?' Nicole asked herself.
Noticing that Nicole was feeling uneasy, Preston cautiously asked, "Nicole, are you okay? What's wrong?"
Nicole snapped back into her senses, whereupon she looked up at Preston. She slowly shook her head without
saying a word. Then, she turned to her computer, staring at the screen.
Her eyes squinted as she centered her gaze at the screen, 'I can't put my finger on it, but it looks oddly familiar with
the system that Lawrence had once given me...'
"Wait a minute...," she muttered, tensing up as she clicked on her mouse several times and clacked away on her
keyboard.
A system interface instantly appeared on her monitor, one that Nicole always had trouble accessing. Just like that, it
was unlocked within seconds.
Nicole stared at the screen as the popup windows appeared, her eyes widening in shock.
Preston, too, was speechless, for he had never seen anything like that before. "This is..."
Suddenly, a sound blared out of the computer and an Al voice uttered, "Ma'am, is there anything I can help you
with?"
Caught offguard, Preston nervously swallowed. "Nicole, what-how did this suddenly appear?"
'This is the Fire Crest which symbolizes the Holy Union,' Nicole figured, her eyes darkening. 'Lawrence gave this to
me on purpose. He knew that I would be able to help him crack it. He told me there was something important
inside. Something very dear to him.'
Lawrence had long discovered it and had sought the help of numerous people to crack the code. However, to his
dismay, none of them had succeeded. Because of this, he had no choice but to approach Nicole. She was his only
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhope, and he knew for certain that she would be able to crack it for him, sooner or later.
However, everything was already too late, as Nicole had successfully cracked the code. It was then that she
realized the risk that came after cracking the system.
Perhaps he had really come to a dead end and had no choice but to ask me for help,' she surmised.
As Nicole cracked the code open, the truth became clear as day, revealing the Fire Crest. 'Does this mean that I am
the true owner of the Fire Crest all along? The consequences that come with this would be too much for Lawrence
to bear anyway.'
"Nicole, this is great news! You found the Fire Crest! Wait, what's with that look?" Preston asked, the smile on his
face
vanishing immediately after he had noticed how grim Nicole was.
Why is she looking so beat up? Isn't she glad that the Fire Crest has been found?' he asked himself.
"I'm okay. It's a good thing I found it," Nicole replied, shaking her head before looking up at Preston with a brow
raised.
Nicole was slowly regaining vague memories about the Fire Crest.
Then, she glanced down at her wrist. 'Wait, where's my watch? I remembered that I've fixed it to my watch for easy
access.'
