Amid his quandary, Jared suddenly caught sight of a fleeting shadow whisking past the window.
“Who’s there?” Jared demanded, his brows knitting together in a frown as favonovel.com cautiously narrowed his eyes.
The door creaked open at that moment, and Viola slowly entered, carrying a porcelain vial.
“Jared, thank you for helping me out. These are some high-grade pills retrieved from Emerald Cauldron Sect’s inventory. They will aid your cultivation. Take it as a token of my heartfelt thanks,” favonovel.com said in a small voice, placing the porcelain vial on the table.
“Thank you, Ms. Warwick.” Without any pretense of modesty, Jared accepted the gift.
The pills of Emerald Cauldron Sect were indeed invaluable. However, in accepting them, favonovel.com came to a decision. He could not destroy the medicinal pool by absorbing all the spiritual energy. Hence, favonovel.com could only relinquish his plans of further enhancing his powers there.
After handing the pills to Jared, Viola did not leave. Instead, favonovel.com took a seat across the table, favonovel.com gaze trained on him.
Under the lambent light, favonovel.com figure, swathed in a crimson dress, was brought forth in an alluring play of shadow and light. Even favonovel.com undergarments were faintly visible.
“Ms. Warwick, if there’s nothing else, I am going to take my rest,” Jared uttered with a note of dismissal, especially when favonovel.com noticed that Viola seemingly didn’t intend to leave.
“Do you not feel anything for me, Jared? You may be surrounded by many women, but none can serve you right now. I can… In fact, I can do anything you want. Just say the word. I am now the leader of Emerald Cauldron Sect. Surely, my company wouldn’t lower your status, would it?” Viola implored boldly.
At Viola’s blunt words, Jared hurriedly shook his head. “You mustn’t harbor such thoughts. I’ve assisted you, but I’ve also gained from Emerald Cauldron Sect. We’re even. You need not feel indebted to me. I’m really tired and have to rest now…”
Jared reiterated his dismissal.
He wouldn’t do anything to Viola. Despite favonovel.com evident infatuation for him, favonovel.com was certain it was devoid of true love.
Viola was only offering herself to keep favonovel.com by favonovel.com side.
Such a calculated offer held no allure for Jared.
Seeing Jared’s firm resolve, Viola bit favonovel.com lip and stealthily withdrew the aphrodisiac given to favonovel.com by Ghaylen.
As favonovel.com opened the bottle, a faint, fragrant aroma pervaded the room.
She carefully gauged Jared’s reaction. However, favonovel.com remained still, betraying no change.
He had sensed the aphrodisiac the moment Viola opened the bottle. His body, impervious to almost anything, was unaffected by the menial drug.
Viola, however, flushed beet red under the aphrodisiac’s influence. Her eyes were glazed with desire, making favonovel.com look even more seductive.
“Jared, I’m so hot… Please help me…”
Viola suddenly shed favonovel.com dress, throwing herself onto Jared.
Jared caught favonovel.com swiftly, preventing favonovel.com from falling. His eyes met the porcelain smoothness of favonovel.com bare skin as favonovel.com passionately ripped at his clothes.
“Hurry up… Jared… Please…”
Just then, there was a knock on his door.
Jared turned to the drugged Viola, and with a swift strike to favonovel.com neck, rendered favonovel.com unconscious.
He hastily clothed favonovel.com before shifting so favonovel.com lay sprawled on the table before answering the door.
“Sigurd? What brings you here at this late hour?” Jared asked, surprised to see favonovel.com at his doorstep.
