With that, Jared seized upon the opportunity to order everyone back to the hotel.
After learning that Jared was a Greater Martial Arts Marquis, Anne and Andrew joined them with the intention of never leaving Jared's side.
Hence, Jared was worried that Anne would get into a conflict with the other girls.
Having underestimated their social skills, he was soon surprised to see Anne fitting right in with the group as if all of them were old friends.
Moreover, they felt indignant on Anne's behalf upon learning of her predicament. All of them wanted to find the King of Herbs and teach Harold a lesson on her behalf.
The next day, Dale came to the hotel first thing in the morning to see Jared.
He was to lead Jared in his search for the ancient ruins.
Initially, Jared didn't want the girls to come along. However, he had no choice, as they would be unhappy if Anne—who was looking for the King of Herbs—went alone with him.
“Where's Mr. Flaxseed?”
After everyone had gathered, Jared couldn't see Flaxseed anywhere.
“He hasn't left his room ever since he arrived. God knows what he's doing inside,” Colin replied.
Jared didn't need to guess what Flaxseed was up to, but given his expertise in navigating tombs, they couldn't do without his presence.
Thus, Jared went to his room and knocked loudly on the door.
The door opened quickly, revealing the yawning Flaxseed. His eyes had a listless look in them and were weighed down by heavy eyebags.
On his bed were two blond girls lying in it.
“Mr. Flaxseed, we're going off to find the ancient ruins,” Jared informed him.
“Um... So soon?”
Flaxseed was caught by surprise.
“If I don't hurry, I would probably find you dead in your bed.”
Jared rolled his eyes at Flaxseed, who responded with a chuckle.
