“Step aside, everyone. I’m leaving with him.”
After Jared had said that, he walked right up to Atlas. “May I know why you want to apprehend me?”
“I’m only keeping my promise to someone. I’ve said I’ll agree to a term of whoever saves my daughter.
The term proposed is to apprehend you,” Atlas revealed openly.
Hearing that, Jared grew all the more convinced of his postulation. The corners of his mouth turned up
uncontrollably, and he agreed with a smile, “Sure, I’ll go with you!”
Atlas’ subordinates stepped forward to tie the man up, but Atlas stopped them with a wave of his hand.
“There’s no need to tie him up. He won’t take off.”
Atlas knew that Jared would not make a break for it since he had not done so even when so many
people offered to buy him time earlier.
“Let’s go!” he said to Jared icily.
Smiling, Jared headed out. When Feenix and Cloud saw that, they wanted to tag along. But following a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtburst of aura from Atlas, they both collapsed on the ground.
Jared then entered the mayor’s residence with Atlas. At that moment, Hyrum was in Effie’s room, and
the latter had already consumed the pill he refined.
“With this pill, Ms. Jablonski, you won’t suffer a recurrence in half a year. After taking it three times in
succession, you’ll make a full recovery,” Hyrum said to Effie.
“Thank you, Mr. Goeckner!” Effie had elation etched across her features. Then, I’ll no longer have to be
tied up or go mad from time to time like a nutcase!
Just then, Atlas came into the room with Jared.
The instant Hyrum caught sight of Jared, his eyes lit up. Meanwhile, Jared stared at him and drawled
with a smirk, “Sure enough, it’s you. Looks like I hit the nail on the head.”
“You indeed hit the nail on the head. It’s me. Now that you’re in my hands, I’m going to have you
experience a fate worse than death!”
Recalling his parasitic silkworms, Hyrum seethed inwardly.
“I’ve already brought him here, Mr. Goeckner, and you can deal with him as you please. How’s my
daughter’s illness?”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Jablonski. I’ll continue refining pills when I get back. I assure you that Ms. Jablonski
will remain hale and hearty,” Hyrum assured, patting himself on the chest. Subsequently, he added,
“But please strip this kid of his capabilities first lest he escapes, Mr. Jablonski.”
“Why would you be afraid of him, a mere Body Fusion Realm cultivator, when you’re a Tribulator, Mr.
Goeckner?”
Atlas could not figure out why Hyrum wanted him to go as far as destroying Jared’s cultivation.
“This kid is skilled at trickery. I’ve been fooled several times, so it’s safer to incapacitate him,” Hyrum
replied.
“All right, then. If so, I’ll destroy his cultivation first.”
At that, Atlas decided to divest Jared of his cultivation.
Despite the turn of events, Jared uttered unhurriedly, “You’d better think twice, Mr. Jablonski. If you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdestroy my cultivation, your daughter will never recover. As I’ve said, she’s poisoned, not sick. Worse
still, the poison has already entered her blood. Other than me, I’m afraid no one can save her. This guy
here is a Demonic Cultivator. He didn’t cure your daughter of her sickness but merely used a pill to
temporarily suppress her condition. In a few days, she’ll suffer a recurrence.”
His words promptly made Atlas waver.
Contrarily, Hyrum immediately retorted, “Nonsense! You’re the Demonic Cultivator! Don’t slander me to
save yourself. I can certainly cure Ms. Jablonski of her illness. Could my medical skills be inferior to
those of a kid like you when I’ve lived much longer?”
Upon hearing that, Atlas found that it made sense. After all, Hyrum was already up in years while Jared
was merely a kid. Even if the latter had started learning alchemy in the womb, he could not possibly
have attained much.
“We’ll soon know whether you can cure her.”
With a light flick of Jared’s finger, an imperceptible wisp of aura entered Effie’s body.
