“This stone statue doesn’t look like it’ll last long. There’s no saying whether it’ll manage to hold out untilthe others break through to become Martial Arts Marquises.”
Jared rose to his feet and left the forbidden. ground. When Norm saw Jared walking out, he hurriedforward respectfully and called out, “Mr. Chance.”
“How are the others getting along in their cultivation? Do dew drops still form on the statue everynight?” Jared asked Norm.
“The others are cultivating at a steady pace. As for the dew on the statue, it has significantly increasedover the past few days,” Norm replied.
Jared nodded in response. Then, he went to check on Godrick and the others. Upon observing theircultivation progress, he felt rather pleased.
However, he was just about to walk out of the palace and take a stroll when a sense of forebodingwashed over him. Oh shit….
Cursing silently, he turned to Norm and excused himself before rushing back to Jadeborough.novelbin
There was a connection between Evangeline and Jared. While at the Gunderson family estate, Chesterhad asked Jared to plant a spiritual sense within Evangeline’s body to make her follow Jared all thetime.
Although Evangeline had the holy maiden’s soul inside her body and no longer needed to stay byJared’s side, there was still a connection between the spiritual sense and him.
Now that she was imprisoned, he could sense it as soon as he walked out. Upon his return toJadeborough, Lizbeth and the others surrounded him immediately when they saw him. The gaggle ofladies started chattering away to him.
“That’s enough. You don’t have to say anything more. I already know about it,” he said while waving hishand. After saying that, he left Crimson Palace and headed for the Gunderson residence.
I need to speak to Fernando and get a clear explanation of what happened. There are some things thatLizbeth and the other ladies can’t explain clearly.
Meanwhile, Fernando was on pins and needles. I’m well aware of Evangeline’s identity. Shouldmisfortune happen to befall her, I won’t be able to explain things!
As he was fretting over the matter, Astrid opened the door and said, “Dad, Jared is here.” As soon asFernando heard that, he dashed out the door to welcome Jared.
“Mr. Chance, you’re back. Evan-” Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Jared cut him off with awave of his hand and said, “I know. Let’s talk inside.”
Fernando nodded. Then, he said to Astrid, “Get” someone to stand guard by the door. No one isallowed to enter.”
With that, he followed Jared into the room and closed the door. Still worried that it was unsafe,Fernando waved his hand and instantly enveloped them with teleportation magecraft.
Jared turned to Fernando and asked, “Mr. Gunderson, what happened to Evangeline? How could a full-grown person like her suddenly go missing? Also, she’s rather skilled. Theoretically, it’d be impossiblefor someone to attack her. However, I can sense that she’s in danger.”
“I don’t have a clue either, Mr. Chance. I only learned of her disappearance after Ms. Grange informedme about it. I’ve no idea how I’ll explain this to Great Elder,” Fernando replied with a look of dismay.
“Calm down, Mr. Gunderson. Evangeline isn’t in mortal danger for now. I can sense she’s beingrestrained, but I can’t figure out her exact location. Would the Gunderson family have any way of
finding out where she is? That’d make it easier for us to rescue her.”
The reason Jared had come looking for Fernando was to discover Evangeline’s whereabouts. Eventhough his spiritual sense was still in Evangeline’s body, he could not pinpoint her location.
“Uh… I’m not sure about that. Even if there were a way, only Great Elder would know,” Fernandoanswered. “In that case, take me to the secret realm so we can find him and ask him. There’s no timeto lose.”
Jared was worried Evangeline’s life would be in danger the longer they delayed it. If anything happensto Evangeline, not only will we lose her, but the holy maiden’s soul in her will also disappear.
