Chapter 1687Jared soon realized he was in the middle of a dungeon. “This looks very familiar. Where am I?” he
muttered under his breath.
A pucker formed between his eyebrows. At that moment, he felt disoriented, making it hard for him to
discern whether he was in a dream or reality. “Jared? Jared!”
Suddenly, he seemed to hear someone calling his name Jared looked over his shoulder. To his
surprise, he saw Josephine locked up in a prison cell.
His heart leaped with joy, and he dashed toward her. “Josephine, is that you? Josephine!” he cried out.
Overwhelmed with emotions, Jared held her hands tightly.
“I can’t believe I get to see you again. It feels like a dream!” he said excitedly, gazing at Josephine with
a tender expression.
The woman looked at him tearfully. “This isn’t a dream; this is real. I’ve been waiting for you all the
while. I missed you so much…”
“Don’t cry. I’ll definitely save you, so don’t worry!” Jared wiped her tears away gently as he gave her his
word.
To his surprise, Josephine tried to persuade him to leave. “Jared, you don’t have to save me. I’m
satisfied to get to see you one last time. You should leave now!”
“No! I won’t leave. Even if I have to destroy this dungeon, I must save you!” he responded with a look of
determination.
novelbinA powerful aura burst out of his body, and he started punching the cell before him. I must destroy the
cell and save Josephine!In Flaxseed’s point of view, however, Jared had his hand firmly pressed against the boulder the whole
time The drastic change in Jared’s expression, as well as the rising intensity of his aura, made
Flaxseed nervous. “Shoot, he’s a lovesick fool!” Flaxseed muttered under his breath, his heart sinking
at the gravity of the situation.
Desperate, he reached for a yellow piece of paper, bit his finger, and used his blood to draw something
on it while muttering cryptic words.
Soon, a charm was made. He then stuck it on Jared’s forehead.
A beam of red light entered Jared’s mind.
In the dungeon, Jared, who was striking the cell nonstop with his arms, suddenly froze in his tracks.
Staring at Josephine blankly, he stuttered, “Y You’re not Josephine. You’re not her.”
“Jared, what’s wrong? Why did you say that?” Josephine sobbed. “No, you’re not her. I’m sure of that.”
Jared shut his eyes and began chanting the calming incantation to clear his head.
Yet, even after chanting the calming incantation for a long time, he still saw Josephine in front of him
when he opened his eyes. He had not left the dungeon either.
“Huh? Isn’t this an illusion?” Jared’s eyes widened in shock.
“Jared, what are you doing? You’re breaking my heart,” Josephine wailed. That panicked him greatly.
This isn’t an illusion! “I’m sorry, Josephine. I really am. Let me save you now,” he cooed.
His palms shone brilliantly as he delivered an attack that crushed the cells into pieces. Without
hesitation, Josephine rushed out and leaped into Jared’s arms.
With open arms, he embraced her. She felt tangible and warm to the touch.“Jared, don’t leave me again, okay?” Josephine gazed at him lovingly. “Okay. I will stay by your side
forever!” Jared vowed and pecked her on her forehead.
While he was lost in love, Flaxseed was anxious beyond words. “Oh, what a lovesick fool!” the latter
muttered as he paced back and forth restlessly.
In the end, he stuck another charm on Jared’s body. Immediately afterward, his voice sounded in
Jared’s mind. “Jared, wake up. Everything is fake. Nothing is real! Did you forget what I said?”
Having recognized Flaxseed’s voice, Jared was stunned.
