Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1349

Though Mira and Master Ellis wouldn't be on the front lines this time, she prayed the soldiers' mission would go smoothly.

Mira also provided the government with the exact coordinates of Mishka's father's hidden stash of premium jade and gold, including the secret code to access the cave.

If the raid was successful, Mira hoped the authorities would secure the treasure and use Barlow National Bank to transport it back home to fund national development.

"Excellent. If this operation succeeds, the nation will owe you both a great debt."

"There's no need. It's my obligation as a Mavarian citizen to offer what I know to my country."

Mira had no intention of participating in the combat herself. She trusted the power of Mavaria's armed forces and the capability of its soldiers. It was best to leave professional matters to the professionals. Mira's focus remained on generating wealth.

She needed to amass enough capital to ensure Mavarians held unparalleled prestige among global financial conglomerates—for her own sake, and for her country.

Next, Mira devoted herself to synthesizing the drugs. Since these formulas were meant to support the military, there was no need to hide the process; the government readily supplied all the raw materials.

To her pleasant surprise, Jordan Ellis sought her out. He had likely heard the news through Owen.

He volunteered to help Mira prepare the tactical drugs for the soldiers.

"Master Ellis, it's good to see you again."

"I just don't understand it. How do you know the secret formulas of my sect?"

Jordan demanded right off the bat.

"My apologies, but they are the secret formulas of my sect as well. I can't reveal their origins."

The pair worked side by side, sorting herbs and chatting just as they had in their past life.

"If you're already this skilled, why did you ever want to be my disciple?"

"I just thought you seemed like a decent guy, and I wanted to learn from you. Nothing more," Mira brushed him off.

"Save it for the ghosts."

"I'm saving it for you, the biggest ghost of them all."

Having spent a lifetime as his apprentice, Mira knew exactly how to handle his temper.
