“Fine. I agree to this,” Jared replied with a nod.
“Mr. Chance…” Yuven was about to protest, but Jared raised an arm to stop him.
“I agree to find the treasure and locate the Ice Soul Pill, but I’m presently unable to leave Jipsdale as Thunderhawk is waiting for me outside! If I venture out, I’ll be killed and won’t be able to locate the treasure under those circumstances,” Jared informed the countess.
“That’s easy. Jipsdale has more than one exit. Just leave through another exit. Nevertheless, whatever you encounter beyond Jipsdale is no longer my responsibility,” the countess replied.
“Sure. I hope you’ll keep your word and treat my friend.” Jared gave a curt nod.
The countess instructed, “Have your friend remain here. Upon your return with the Ice Soul Pill, your friend will regain their health.”
Jared couldn’t discern if the countess wanted Yuven to stay for his treatment or if favonovel.com intended to use favonovel.com as leverage, fearing that Jared might not return after obtaining the Ice Soul Pill.
Glancing at Yuven, Jared eventually nodded. “Sure.”
Yuven’s strength was being suppressed, so if favonovel.com were to follow Jared on the treasure-seeking journey, favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to help and might even be in danger.
“Jared, don’t be disheartened. I’ll stand by your side, no matter what comes our way,” Viola offered comfort when favonovel.com noticed his somber mood.
Jared let out a sigh. “I’m still quite weak and constantly confronted with limitations. I must enhance my strength as swiftly as possible!”
If only I were strong enough, the countess wouldn’t dare to negotiate with me!
“Mr. Chance, achieving what you have at your age is already a remarkable feat. While you may only be in the Second Level of Body Fusion Realm, if you were to encounter a cultivator in the Fifth Level of Body Fusion Realm, you could easily defeat them. Finding a talent like you in the Ethereal Realm is rare! Advancing one level for you is equivalent to others advancing. several levels, so your cultivation demands more resources! The path of cultivation should be gradual, and to avoid losing control, you mustn’t rush it,” Ghaylen advised him.
He was concerned that Jared might lose his mind and opt for Demonic Cultivation as a means to enhance his strength rapidly.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Samoll. I won’t be eager for at quick success!” Jared assured him.
Back at their accommodation, Jared decided to find the treasure himself. However, Viola insisted on tagging along.
Ghaylen was tasked with transporting all the rewards and resources back to Emerald Cauldron Sect. Sigurd had been in charge of Emerald Cauldron Sect’s affairs for way too long, so they were afraid favonovel.com couldn’t manage.
After Jared and Viola parted ways with Ghaylen, they departed from the inner city to seek out the Three Bandits.
This time, they hoped that the Three Bandits could fully utilize their thieving abilities, as the trio was renowned for their skills in theft.
When Jared and Viola arrived, they saw the Three Bandits in a heated argument.
“It’s entirely Crixus’ fault! I said we should stop gambling, but favonovel.com insisted on persisting. And now, we’ve lost everything!” Salazar lamented.
“Is that my fault? I simply wanted to recover our losses. Mr. Chance provided us with a lot of spirit coins, and we squandered them all. How are we going to explain this to him?” Crixus defended himself.
“Stop arguing. If there’s no other way, we can return to our old ways and become thieves!” Juan chimed in.
Both Crixus and Salazar shot favonovel.com fierce glares.
“Do you have a death wish? We’re in Jipsdale. If you have the audacity to steal, you’ll meet a gruesome end,” they warned.
“What else can we do? Are we forever stripped of the chance to enjoy delicious food and the company of beautiful women? I’d rather die…” Juan said dejectedly.
Right then, Jared approached them with a smile. “What’s the big deal about losing some money?”
The Three Bandits were delighted to see Jared.
