“Mr. Sparrow, what are you doing here?”
Jared was quite surprised to see Hester. Normally, someone of Hester's rank wouldn't be stationed at the city gate.
“I came here specifically to wait for you. You, young man, have offended the Demon Seal Alliance. If the people from the Demon Seal Alliance kill you, won't the Ice Soul Pill be lost?” Hester smiled faintly.
Jared looked at Hester with great puzzlement. He couldn't understand how Hester, in Jipsdale, knew about his conflict with the Demon Seal Alliance.
“Mr. Chance, your every move in the far north is well-known within Jipsdale. If they hadn't known that you had gotten the Ice Soul Pill, they wouldn't have let me out of Jipsdale!” Yuven explained, seeing Jared's bewildered expression.
Yuven didn't understand how the countess of Jipsdale knew about Jared's every move as well, but he was well aware that there was no way to hide things from her.
Jared felt a shiver down his spine. He couldn't fathom how the countess was privy to his actions. Fortunately, he had no intention of keeping the Ice Soul Pill for himself. Otherwise, Yuven might have been in danger.
“Mr. Sparrow, please lead the way,” Jared said after taking a deep breath.
He didn't want to know how the countess was keeping track of him. Sometimes, the more one knew, the scarier it would be.
He just wanted to leave Jipsdale quickly and then help Yuven reclaim Imperial Beast City.
Hester led Jared's group straight to the small two-story building where the countess was staying.
When they arrived at the front of the small building, Hester didn't bother to announce their arrival. He simply pushed the door open.
Jared was surprised, but he entered, while the others waited outside.
Upon entering the small building, Jared was astonished to find a middle-aged woman wearing a phoenix hairpin on her head and a red robe sitting in the countess' seat.
Although she was no longer young, her skin was smooth and in good condition.
However, this woman was nothing more than a spiritual form and had no physical body.
Although Jared hadn't seen the countess' true appearance, he knew for certain that this woman was the countess.
