Chapter 1829
“Now that the demonic sword has been destroyed, we can finally step into the afterlife...”
The elderly man gazed at Jared. A faint smile spread across liis face as he slowly vanished into thin air.
To think that transient greed could even annihilate an entire sect! A sigh escaped from Jared's lips.
Jared then made liis way out, only to find that Flaxseed was no longer in the same spot waiting for him.
Helpless. Jared took the same path back on liis own.
In the meantime. Flaxseed was sitting around in the ancient ruins, looking devastated.
“I think we should head back. I still need to think of a way to tell the news to those women waiting at the
hotel. That guy's too zealous for his own good. He knew the ladies were all waiting for him, yet he
never learned to cherish any of them. Some nerve he had to bludgeon his way in. What a foolish,
suicidal move,” he remarked to Gilbert and the others.
“N-No way... Jared won't die! He promised to treat my father!”
Tears welled up in Anne's eyes. If Jared's dead, who else can treat Father?
“Mr. Flaxseed, there's no way Mr. Chance will die so easily, is there? Did you see him die with your own
eyes?”
Gilbert was also not convinced of Jared meeting his demise that soon. After all, the latter was the son
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtof a dragon.
“Are you doubting me? There's nothing but danger inside. He'll never make it,” refuted Flaxseed
confidently.
Right then, Evangeline piped up, “I also think that Jared will survive.”
Flaxseed, in turn, dared not refute Evangeline's comment, for he was hilly aware of Evangeline's
identity. Never would he dare to offend that lady even the slightest.
“Fine. Since you guys don't believe me, we can all wait here for a couple of days more. If we still don't
see Jared by then, we'll leave this place. We can't just stay here for eternity, right?”
Flaxseed was exasperated.
At that juncture, Jared's voice rang out from behind. “Who says I'm dead? Mr. Flaxseed, you didn't see
me draw my last breath, did you? Are you cursing me with your words?”
“Jared!”
The second Jared came into sight, Anne was the first to lunge toward him excitedly. “I knew you'd still
be alive!”
“My goodness! You sure live a blessed life! The sword energy within the tomb of swords is so powerful,
yet you still got out alive.”
Flaxseed was rather surprised to see Jared.
Then came Gilbert's question. “So. how did it go. Mr. Chance? Were you able to obtain the sacred
sword?”
He was only interested in finding that out.
“Let's get out of here first. We'll talk while we go,” suggested Jared.
Meanwhile, Lizbeth and the other girls were all expecting Jared at the hotel on Ice Bear Island.
They were displeased, for they had been waiting for that man for so many days.
“What's up with Jared, huh? He dumped us here at the foot of the mountain and then went off on liis
own. How many days has it been already?”
“He must've been seduced by that foreigner and couldn't bear to be apart from her!”
“Do you think Jared might be in trouble?”
The only thing the group of women had been doing each day was counting the days until they saw
Jared again.
A man Colin might be, but he could only assume the role of the ladies' helper, obeying their every
order, be it running an errand or simply pouring them a cup of coffee.
Apart from Renee. Colin could not afford to rub the others up the wrong way. There was no telling
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhich one of them might end up becoming Jared's woman.
I must be careful not to step on any of their toes!
Just when the ladies were chattering among themselves, Jared and the gang suddenly appeared at the
door.
Gone were the complaints and resentment toward Jared when the women caught sight of him. They
rushed toward him, yearning for an embrace from the man they had been missing.
Even so, they were too embarrassed to make a move since there were so many people around.
“Did you miss me?” teased Jared.
He gazed at the group of ladies in front of him and flashed them a smirk. “Come on. everybody. Take
turns coming over, and I'll give each one of you a big hug.”
“Hmph! In your dreams! Gilds, let's ignore him.”
A snort accompanied Lyanna's words as she rolled her eyes.
Astrid chimed in, “Right! He'll get what he deserves for leaving us behind.”
With that, the ladies returned to their rooms. Jared, however, could tell that they had all been worried
about him.
Witnessing the scene. Flaxseed was green with envy.
