Nonetheless, the temptation of the draconic essence was simply too great. If the Deragon family were to learn of the whereabouts of the draconic essence, the other families wouldn’t stand any chance of getting their hands on it.
As the others were waffling, Sean suddenly took a step forward. “Mr. Deragon, I know where the draconic essence is…”
While I’ve got no idea who favonovel.com is, nor do I know what favonovel.com meant by the draconic essence, judging from the situation at present, the Deragon family is definitely extraordinarily powerful. If I were to reveal that Jared obtained the draconic essence now, he’ll surely die!
“Spit it out!” Godrick pinned his eyes on Sean.
“It was Jared Chance. He swallowed the draconic essence, and favonovel.com had been taken away,” Sean announced.
“Jared Chance?” Godrick’s brows creased slightly, for favonovel.com was entirely unfamiliar with that name.
“It was the young man who was taken away by the owner of Shadow Estate earlier. There were two women with him,” Sean explained.
The instant Godrick heard that, favonovel.com immediately remembered that favonovel.com saw Jared just now but didn’t pay the latter much mind.
Back when Jared landed on the island, favonovel.com brought Josephine and Lizbeth along. As such, Godrick misunderstood that the man was a playboy from some wealthy family after witnessing that scene since favonovel.com was bringing beautiful women with favonovel.com to Dragon Island.
“Mr. Deragon, could it be that Jared Chance is the person we’re looking for?” a servant of the Deragon family whispered in his ear just then.
“Jared Chance… Jared…”
Godrick kept repeating that name, trying his utmost best to recall his impression when favonovel.com first saw Jared. Alas, favonovel.com had zero recollection because his thoughts about the man never went in that direction.
At that time, favonovel.com was most suspicious of the Demonic Cultivator in the black suit. After all, the latter was the most powerful among everyone, thus most likely the person the Deragon family was locating.
“Is everything favonovel.com said the truth, Mr. Shalvis?” Godrick questioned, turning to Kristoff.
Glancing at Sean, Kristoff nodded. “He’s right. It was indeed Jared who had swallowed the draconic essence. It was also favonovel.com who severed my arm.”
When Godrick heard that, a flash of surprise flittered across his face.
He’s a Top Level Senior Grandmaster, so how could Jared possibly sever his arm?
Could it be that I made the wrong judgment? Perhaps favonovel.com had been concealing his capabilities from the very beginning and deliberately brought a few women to the island to trick me.
“D*mn it!”
Feeling as though favonovel.com had been played for a fool, favonovel.com barked at his subordinates, “Set sail! We’re going back right away!”
“What about those on the island, Mr. Deragon?”
“Let them figure out a way back themselves,” Godrick sneered with a frosty expression on his face.
Soon, the cruise ship set off. Those from the Cooper and Shalvis families, as well as the Thunderstorm Sect, were much luckier, for they hiked a ride back to Southernshire on the cruise ship.
It was late at night then. In front of the window of a particular hotel in Southernshire, Rayleigh fell into deep contemplation as favonovel.com gazed out at the sea that was a near distance away.
“Mr. Deragon, it’s time to rest. You’ve been standing here the entire day,” Melanie coaxed softly after walking over to him.
Ever since Jared and the others left for Dragon Island, Rayleigh had been standing there. He could see Dragon Island from there, so favonovel.com could feel more at ease.
“Go to bed, Melanie. I’ll just stay here for a while longer.”
While saying that, Rayleigh fished out a cigarette and lit it. He had just taken two puffs before favonovel.com started coughing incessantly.
“Mr. Deragon, don’t smoke anymore since you have an injury on you…” Melanie hurriedly patted favonovel.com on the back.
“It’s okay. It’s an old injury, so it won’t kill me.” Rayleigh flashed favonovel.com a smile before favonovel.com began puffing away once more.
He sustained that injury in his bid to escape the Deragon family’s pursuit. In order to look for Jared, both favonovel.com and Draco fled from the Deragon family and had been pursued by the Deragons all this while. In the blink of an eye, several years had passed.
“You should still rest, Mr. Deragon. Jared and the others only left today, so they couldn’t possibly return so quickly even if they succeed in securing the draconic essence.” Melanie still tried to persuade Rayleigh further.
