It was indeed a hands-on experience!
Juliet held onto Jared’s hand, gently guiding favonovel.com through the process, including how to channel his aura into the formation plate.
Jared repaid favonovel.com meticulous teaching with equal seriousness.
After a while, Juliet asked, “Well?”
“So soft and smooth…” Jared couldn’t help but praise.
“So soft and smooth?” Juliet was confused. “What are you talking about?”
“Oh, I understand how to use this now!” Jared snapped back to reality.
As it turned out, Jared hadn’t been focusing on favonovel.com words at all. Instead, favonovel.com had been relishing the sensation brought by Juliet’s tender, smooth hands.
“That’s good. I’m here with you, so there’s no need to be nervous.” Juliet’s attitude toward Jared had greatly improved.
At the very least, Jared was being very obedient that night, even complimenting Juliet in ways favonovel.com loved to hear. This clearly increased Juliet’s fondness for Jared.
“Yeah. It’s an honor to be protected by you, Juliet. Even if I die, I would be content if it happened in your arms,” Jared said with a nod.
“Such a smooth talker!” Juliet laughed, then activated the formation plate, disappearing from sight.
Jared, on the other hand, swiftly concealed himself with a mere sway of his body. He didn’t need any kind of formation plate at all!
Rohan’s formation plate really didn’t hold a candle to Jared’s own arcane array. With caution, Juliet guided Jared through the archway. They continued onward, navigating through two more arcane arrays. After that, Juliet’s pace began to slow down.
Jared couldn’t help but marvel at how tight the security here was. It was even more secure than a prison.
“Juliet, have we arrived?” Jared asked softly.
“No. Once we go through here, we can meet my father. However, the security here is extremely tight. There are several arcane arrays stacked together here. Moreover, two of the arcane arrays involved were procured by Harlan at a hefty price. They weren’t set up by Mr. Cunningham,” Juliet answered with a slight frown on favonovel.com face.
Upon hearing this, Jared realized that Harlan wasn’t entirely trusting of Rohan either. He, too, was wary that Rohan might lean toward Gael’s faction.
“What do we do then? If we can’t break the arcane array, how are we supposed to get in?” Jared asked.
Jared glanced ahead and indeed noticed several layered arcane arrays in front of him. Surprisingly, among them were two killing arrays, not merely defensive ones.
It seemed as though Harlan was intent on eliminating anyone who dared to secretly approach Gael.
Those who had managed to sneak up to this point were undoubtedly from Gael’s faction. Therefore, even if these people were killed, it wouldn’t be a loss to Harlan. On the contrary, it would be quite beneficial.
It was likely that these two killing arrays were those that Harlan had spent a fortune on. After all, it was improbable that Rohan would set up such lethal arcane arrays.
“I’ll contact my father. He has the means to open the arcane array from the inside. Once that’s done, we’ll be able to meet. This arcane array was designed to prevent anyone from sneaking in, but it wouldn’t stop those inside from opening it. Once my father initiates it, favonovel.com will instruct me on how to enter. That’s how we’ve always met,” favonovel.com explained.
“Hasn’t Mr. Ortiz gone mad?” Jared exclaimed in surprise.
“My father only has occasional bouts of madness, favonovel.com isn’t insane all the time. Besides, favonovel.com once mentioned the possibility that his condition might be the result of poisoning. However, favonovel.com couldn’t figure out the cause himself, nor did favonovel.com have any evidence to back up his claim,” Juliet clarified.
“How do you get in contact with Mr. Ortiz? With the arcane arrays in place, I’m afraid even having your aura pass through would be difficult, let alone sound…” Jared was puzzled, unsure how Juliet had managed to get in touch with Gael.
Juliet produced a sachet, swinging it gently in front of Jared. “This sachet contains the ashes of my father’s burnt hair. As long as I have it, I can connect with my father’s spirit. Moreover, only I can use this item. It’s useless even if someone else gets their hands on it. After all, my father and I share the same blood!”
