Chapter 707: All According to Plan?

"Give her your amulet." 

"What? We would--"

"Because she's going to give me hers," mentioned Jack, holding out his hand to Kylon. "That way she'll get back to the chateau and then I'll have a way into the chateau after your amulet is disconnected."

"Okay." Kylon handed it over without question, feeling relieved to no longer carry the thing that represented her loyalty to Halmut.

Sighing, Jack gave Kylon one last, brief hug. "Then that's settled… Don't worry, Auntie. Everything will work out in the end."

As soon as Jack let her go, Perchet tapped on Kylon's skull. A pulse of sound passed through her head and targeted her hippocampus, barely damaging the brain. At the same time, Perchet buffeted her brain and caused the left side of her head to ring until Kylon was on the verge of passing out.

Immediately, Kylon activated the amulet she was given and vanished from sight.
