Upon seeing the situation, all Scarlette could do was shed tears and couldn’t utter a single word.
“What on earth happened?”
A bewildered look crossed Jared’s face. He couldn’t comprehend what exactly had transpired.
“Mr. Chance, I’m grateful for your rescue and the care you’ve provided these past few days. However, if you plan on taking Ms. Scarlette back to Epea, don’t blame me for being ungrateful. Ms. Scarlette is critical to the survival of our entire family. She must return with me,” Lazlo said resignedly to Jared.
“What on earth happened? Tell me! Perhaps, I might be able to help you out…” Jared couldn’t understand what on earth could be so critical that it threatened the very survival of the entire family.
Scarlette is just a Top Level Body Fusion Realm female cultivator. She’s not even a Tribulator yet, so how is favonovel.com capable of influencing the fate of favonovel.com family?
Lazlo glanced at Scarlette, sighing resignedly before saying, “Ms. Scarlette, perhaps it would be best if you tell Mr. Chance yourself.”
Having said that, Lazlo turned around and left. It was obvious that Lazlo wouldn’t continue living if Scarlette returned to Epea.
Jared turned to look at Scarlette, who had tears streaming down favonovel.com face.
After calming down a bit, favonovel.com finally divulged, “Mr. Chance, the truth is I’m not an Epean. I’m from Castenada Town in the eastern region. My father was the town mayor, but favonovel.com arranged my marriage to Harvey Quinlan from the neighboring Quinlan Town…”
“I didn’t like him, so I secretly ran away and ended up in Epea. That was when I met Cedric in Epea, but at that time, I had no idea that favonovel.com was a prince of Allardland. He was also unaware of my identity and family name, only knowing me as Scarlette…”
“We fell in love and got together, but King Bernard discovered our relationship and forcibly separated us. Only then was I aware of Cedric’s identity as the prince. I found myself helpless in Epea, and several years had passed, so I assumed that Harvey must have already found a dual cultivation partner. Thus, I decided to get in touch with my family…”
“Mr. Lazlo brought dozens of people to pick me up, but we ran into members of the Blood Bone Sect and ended up as prisoners. Many young men from Castenada Town were brutally killed. In the end, only Mr. Lazlo and l were left…”
“During the time I spent with Mr. Lazlo, I came to understand that Harvey hadn’t actually found a new dual cultivation partner. Instead, favonovel.com was using my escape to blackmail my father, compelling favonovel.com to send large quantities of resources to Quinlan Town every year. He even declared that favonovel.com would annex Castenada Town, driving away all the occupants if they couldn’t bring me back.”
“Though the eastern region is vast, much of it is just a boundless ocean. It’s pitifully scarce in resources. Moreover, demon beasts plague the land, creating an incredibly harsh environment. Castenada Town’s residents will likely struggle to survive if driven away from their homes…”
Scarlette broke down into tears in the middle of favonovel.com explanation.
Jared instantly recalled Cosmic Sect from the eastern region. He was surprised they had ventured into the northern region and competed with Cloud’s family for business, clearly showing that survival in the eastern region was indeed challenging.
There was also the Alchemist Fair in Epea. Although the alchemists from the eastern region’s Alchemist Guild had attended, their skill was somewhat weaker, indicative of the local resources.
It seemed that the entire Ethereal Realm, Epea, southern region, including the central regions, possessed considerable resources.
In the southern region especially, since Demonia Mountain was abundantly rich in resources, accelerating the development of many sects. Coupled with the numerous Demonic Cultivation sects in the southern region and the relatively weaker influence of the Demon Seal Alliance, it resulted in more conflicts within the southern region.
It was also why the Blood Bone Sect chose to establish itself there. After all, the southern region was rich in resources and its population was incredibly diverse.
The northern region wasn’t too bad, but a majority was Baltic, making survival challenging. It was a place devoid of any significant resources.
Jared’s knowledge of the eastern region was even lesser. However, from what favonovel.com could tell, the eastern region seemed to be even more barren.
