Arnie cast a pleading look at Jared, who then gave favonovel.com a reassuring look in return.
The moment Jared entered, favonovel.com realized how powerful the sorcerer was. Furthermore, what the sorcerer had sprayed on Ross was a kind of medicinal solution meant for soul manipulation. In other words, the sorcerer was trying to use soul manipulation to make Ross listen to him.
Jared had seen low-leveled witchcraft like this before. Back then, Glen, the mayor of Horington, had been controlled by two sorcerers and nearly made a huge mistake. In the end, Jared was the one who rescued him.
Therefore, a simple soul manipulation like this was nothing to Jared. Now, all Jared was doing was watching as the sorcerer continued with his show.
The sorcerer chanted under his breath before making a gentle tap. Ross, who had his eyes shut earlier, suddenly opened them.
Anne was delighted to see Ross awake, and favonovel.com lunged toward him.
“Father! Father!” Anne cried out, but Ross remained reactionless as if favonovel.com had not heard her.
At that, Anne panicked.
She then turned to Harold and asked, “Harold, what… What’s going on? Why doesn’t Father recognize me?”
Harold did not speak, but the sorcerer did. “Princess Anne, it has been a long while since Duke Ross’ soul has left his body. Now that it has returned, he’ll need some time to recover first.”
Anne believed in his words, for it seemed like the sorcerer had managed to cure favonovel.com father.
“Duke Ross, you’ve been lying down for a long while, so you should walk around a little,” the sorcerer said to Ross.
Indeed, Ross stood up and started walking around, and that thrilled Anne.
“Did you see that? I’m the one who brought the right person back to cure Father, so stay at home from now on and don’t go anywhere. Also, who is this Chanaean? Why did you bring a stranger to our home?”
It was then Harold started asking who Jared was.
Anne swiftly explained, “This is my friend. His name is Jared Chance, and he’s here to treat Father.”
Harold started laughing at that. “Haha! Are you pulling my leg? How can a man of his age treat Father? Aren’t you afraid that he’ll end up killing Father instead?”
Anne did not know what to reply to Harold, for it was true that favonovel.com did not know whether or not Jared was medically proficient.
“Regardless of whether I know medicine or not, I’m still better than this sorcerer. He only used soul manipulation to wake your father. Are you telling me favonovel.com can treat people just because favonovel.com knows how to do that?” Jared coldly questioned.
Both the sorcerer and Harold froze when they heard Jared mention soul manipulation. Neither was expecting Jared to know about witchcraft.
“What nonsense are you going on about? What soul manipulation?” the sorcerer denied.
“Although Duke Ross has woken up, the lights in his mind are turned off. He only knows to heed your orders. Stop embarrassing yourself with a lousy soul manipulation like this.” Jared sneered.
“Jared, what… What is going on? Are you saying that they’re controlling my father right now?” Anne nervously asked.
Jared nodded. “Yes, they’re currently mind-controlling your father with soul manipulation. In other words, your father is not normal individual, but a robot accepting orders from them right now. That’s why favonovel.com doesn’t recognize you.”
Upon hearing that, Anne whipped favonovel.com head toward Harold in fury.
Harold scowled. “Brat, what rubbish are you talking about? Do you want me to cut your tongue off?”
“Am I really talking rubbish?” Jared curled his lips before slowly waving his hand across Ross’ face.
A gust of black smoke came out from Ross, and Jared absorbed it into his stomach.
Once that black smoke was out of Ross, the fog in Ross’ eyes lifted.
