The holy maiden’s soul is already very weak. Without the protection of a human body, it wouldn’t have
a chance of surviving under the energy of heaven and earth’s suppression.
“Of course,” Fernando responded. He activated his teleportation magecraft immediately and
disappeared with Jared in a flash.
When the pair arrived at the Gunderson family estate, they found Chester engaged in deep
conversation with an elderly man.
After learning that Jared had come, Chester hurried out at once to greet him. The elderly man was
dumbfounded by his actions.
He’s the Gunderson family’s Great Elder. I can’t believe he’d go out to greet his guests. Even I have
never experienced such a welcome!
Puzzled, the elderly man followed Chester outside. “Mr. Chance,” Chester said, hurrying forward and
greeting Jared deferentially.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I’m sorry for the intrusion, Great Elder. I needed to speak to you,” Jared responded. “We can talk
inside, Mr. Chance.” Chester quickly ushered Jared into the house.
A look of surprise crossed the elderly man’s face when he saw that the person Chester went to
welcome personally turned out to be a young man.
He looked at Chester and asked, “Who is this person? Why do you treat him with so much respect?”
“He’s Jared Chance,” Chester replied. Turning to Jared, he said, “Mr. Chance, this is Wayne Gingerich,
head of The Adamantine.”
Jared nodded at Wayne politely. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Gingerich.”
Meanwhile, Wayne stared at Jared in utter shock. He exclaimed excitedly, “You’re the person who
founded Deragon Sect, went up against Warriors Alliance, and wiped out the Watanabe family from
Jetroina?”
Stunned, Jared looked confused. He could not understand how Wayne, who had been in the secret
realm, would know so much about him.
Just then, Fernando stepped forward and explained to him, “The Gingerich family is The Adamantine’s
representative in the mundane world, so Verner is part of The Adamantine.”
Realization dawned on Jared after he heard that. So, it was Verner who told him everything. From the
looks of it, it also appears that the Gunderson family and The Adamantine are on good terms with each
other. No wonder Verner didn’t treat me with animosity like the others when he first met me!
“Mr. Gingerich, all those things you said aren’t even worth mentioning,” Jared replied with at smile.
“You’re truly young and capable,” Wayne responded with admiration written all over his face.
“You’re too kind. I’m so sorry, but I have something to discuss with Great Elder,” Jared said
apologetically. “Of course! Please go ahead.”
Having said that, Wayne walked to one side tactfully. With a gentle wave of Chester’s hand, an
enclosed space appeared. Then, he asked Jared, “What brings you here with such urgency?”
Jared told Chester about Evangeline’s disappearance. He even revealed that the holy maiden had
possessed Evangeline’s body. After all, he did not feel right to keep it a secret from Chester.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChester was gripped with worry upon learning that his daughter had gone missing but did not. seem
bothered by the fact that the holy
maiden’s soul had possessed her body. When Evangeline’s soul returns, the holy maiden’s soul inside
her will just have to leave.
“Great Elder, do you know of any way to determine Evangeline’s location so I can rescue her?” Jared
enquired, revealing his reason for coming to find Chester.
Chester furrowed his brows. “Locating her is something that’s too difficult for us. However, it wouldn’t
be a problem if we had charms masters. They’d only need to draw a tracking talisman to detect her
aura. That way, we’d be able to find her. However, charm spells have long since become a lost art, and
very few know how to cast them. I don’t know where we’d be able to find a charms master.”
Jared’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “Now that you mention it, I know someone who can draw
tracking talismans.”
He had immediately thought of Flaxseed. Back when Zion was hunting down Jared, Zion had gotten
tracking talismans from Flaxseed. That was why no matter how hard Jared tried to get away, he could
not escape Zion’s pursuit.
