Xavier had confusion written all over his face when he took the envelope over, but he nodded obediently anyway. “Understood...”
Arthur then motioned for him to leave before looking up at the starry sky above. “The true battle is about to begin.”
Meanwhile, Tanner too was staring at the starry sky from Evil Heart Sect's secret realm.
There were eight miniature statues next to him, four of which were glowing faintly.
Had Jared been there to see that, he would've known that they looked exactly like the statues in Boundless Cave.
“No one can stop my plan! No one!” Tanner mumbled to himself as he shifted his gaze back toward the statues.
Suddenly, Malphas came running over in a state of panic.
“Bad news, Lord Tanner! Jared has fled the secret realm with the three women and is currently throwing a banquet to celebrate their freedom!” he reported anxiously.
However, Tanner showed no change in emotion whatsoever even after hearing that.
“They won't get away. They may have gotten out of the secret realm, but they will come back sooner or later. Your job is to find people with special physical attributes. Remember, you only have three months to get it done. Should you fail to find anyone after three months, you can forget about coming back!” he said coldly.
Malphas nodded. “I understand, Lord Tanner!”
...
Meanwhile, at Deragon Sect, everyone left feeling satisfied after the banquet came to an end.
It was as though they had agreed beforehand to give Jared and Josephine some personal space.
Josephine leaned against Jared's shoulder as the two of them sat on the roof.
They were both stargazing with sweet smiles on their faces.
“Those ladies sure were nice to you today. You really have a way with women, Jared!” Josephine said all of a sudden.
Jared gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze as he reassured her, “They're just friends to me. You are the only one who holds a special place in my heart.”
