Chapter 1769Jared fixed his gaze on Jessica. However, he could see the sincerity in her eyes and noticed that she
wasn’t lying to him. “You said you can save my girlfriend and that you know a secret that I don’t. What
exactly is it?” he asked,
“Mr. Chance, forgive me, but I can’t tell you right now. I’ll only let you in on the secret when we are on
the same page.” Jessica shook her head.
“You’ve said so much to convince me, yet it all seems like nonsense in the end. How do you expect me
to believe Demon Sect is strong enough?” Jared goaded her when he saw that she would not reveal
the secret.
Jessica grinned. Instead of getting mad, she exposed Jared’s tactic to goad her into telling the secret
by saying, “Mr. Chance, you don’t need to try and goad me. I’ll let you in on a different secret to show
our sincerity. You’re trying your best to save your girlfriend, but in reality, the image you see of her is
but a projection. Even if you found a way to open the doors, she would never be able to leave the
dungeon! The moment she leaves the arcane array, her body would immediately dissipate as her
physical form is not in that dungeon.”
Jared was taken aback by her words.
“No. That’s impossible. I’ve met Josephine several times. Her aura and everything else seemed so
real. How can she be a projection? Don’t take me for a fool. I believe in my instincts. It’s definitely not
fake… If it was fake. why didn’t Josephine tell me? It can’t be fake.” Jared shook his head, refusing to
believe what Jessica had said.
Jessica smirked. “I’ve said what I need to say. It’s up to you to believe me or not. As for the partnership
with Demon Sect, I hope you can give it some thought, Mr. Chance.”Upon finishing her sentence, she turned to leave the room. Just as she opened the door, she saw
Flaxseed standing outside and almost bumped into him.
Immediately after Jessica exited the room, Flaxseed’s gaze traveled down to her thighs as he greedily
breathed in her delicious scent.
Jessica rolled her eyes at Flaxseed’s lecherous behavior. If I weren’t here to discuss a partnership with
Jared, I would’ve given this pervert a beating!
Nonetheless, she was surprised by how Flaxseed escaped death during the previous incident. He
might be a lustful pervert, but there’s no denying how powerful he is.
Jared stepped out of the room when Jessica left with her companions. Flaxseed hurried approached
and sniffed Jared’s body. Jared asked in surprise, “Mr. Flaxseed, what are you doing?”
“I’m trying to find out what the two of you did in the room. I’m telling you, she’s my woman, so don’t you
dare do anything to her,” Flaxseed warned him.
Jared was amused. “Your woman almost ended your life.”
“That’s none of your business. I’ll be happy to let her kill me since it would be an honor to die under the
hands of such a beautiful woman…” Flaxseed swayed his head, reveling in Jessica’s beauty before he
continued, “Oh, right. What did she say to you?”
Jared did not try to hide it and said honestly, “She wants to work together with me.” “Work together?”
Flaxseed was taken aback. “Did you agree to it? If you did, we’ll all be on the same side, right?”
Jared nodded. “That’s right. If we work together, then we’ll all be partners. You’d also get to see her
often.”“Really?” Flaxseed’s eyes glimmered with delight. “Agree to it, then. Hurry and accept the partnership.”
novelbinFlaxseed grabbed Jared by the shoulders and shook him back and forth, clearly excited. Jared was
confused when he saw how elated Flaxseed was. “Mr. Flaxseed, what do you like about her?”
“Her legs…” Flaxseed answered without hesitation. “They’re long, slender, and fair.”
Words eluded Jared for a few seconds. He soon regained his senses and said, “Let’s go to the ancient
ruins of Skywrath Sect for now. We’ll talk about that in a few days.”
