It was too sudden, and Jared had not anticipated that this old man would suddenly make a move. For a moment, favonovel.com couldn’t react.
Surprisingly, it was the jade pendant worn by Catalina that suddenly emitted a burst of red light, causing the old man to momentarily falter.
Only then did Jared and Catalina react. They quickly retreated to the fourth floor.
“Mr. Chance, what’s wrong?” Cyanna quickly inquired after seeing Jared and Catalina return hastily after they had just left and noticing their off-color complexions.
“A hunchbacked old man is upstairs. As soon as we got there, favonovel.com suddenly attacked us!” Catalina spoke out in considerable frustration.
“Hunchbacked old man?” Coall was utterly bewildered.
“That guy, true to his Veil Dragon lineage, really knows how to disguise himself. I’d bet even his appearance is a facade!” Jared exclaimed.
“Mr. Chance, can you confirm that guy is also a Draconian?” asked Cyanna.
Jared nodded and said, “Yes. I investigated the moment I arrived on the fifth floor, but l just didn’t expect favonovel.com to launch a surprise attack.”
“My life-saving token… Poor thing…” Catalina held favonovel.com broken jade pendant, favonovel.com expression filled with sorrow.
Had it not been for the sudden activation of the life-saving token earlier, they both would have fallen victim to that old man’s malicious intent.
“Ms. Lantz, I’m sorry…” Jared said apologetically. After all, Catalina’s jade pendant saved favonovel.com just a moment ago.
“Forget It. It didn’t only save you. This jade pendant was originally meant to save my life. If worst comes to worst, I can just ask my master to give me another one when I get back. What do we do next? I guess we can’t go any further, right?” Catalina asked.
“I have to go back. I’ll try to see if I can get Ms. Cyanna and Coall out of here,” Jared said.
Upon hearing that, Coall and Cyanna were instantly thrilled.
“Many thanks, Mr. Chance…”
If they could leave that tower, they would finally be free, no longer trapped there.
“Coall, Mr. Chance has already helped us so much. Aren’t you going to share some of your magical items with them?” Cyanna asked Coall.
Jared probably felt too embarrassed to ask directly. After all, they were Draconians, so it was up to Cyanna to speak up.
Coall was taken aback. Afterward, with a bitter expression, favonovel.com said, “Those magical items aren’t mine, and I can’t get them. They’ve been here since I was sealed here. These might belong to the one who was sealed before me.”
“Not yours?”
At the same time, Jared and the others turned their gaze toward Coall.
They had always thought that those shimmering magical items belonged to Coall, but to their surprise, this man actually claimed they were not his.
With that in mind, Jared found himself intrigued by these magical items. Seeing as they were unclaimed, there was no harm in favonovel.com taking them all.
“Mr. Chance, you need to be careful. That lightning beast went for the magical items just now and got completely obliterated,” Cloud quickly reminded.
“It really wasn’t my doing, and it doesn’t concern me. These magical items may appear to be within reach, but in reality, they’re in a different dimension. You can only obtain them by entering that space. Trying to grab them directly, it’s simply impossible to get them,” Coall quickly clarified.
The person who had just obliterated the lightning beast was not him.
“So, who exactly was the previous person held captive here?” Cyanna curiously asked.
Coall shook his head, saying, “I’m not entirely sure. After all, I’ve never gotten close to those things before.”
Jared slowly made his way toward the magical items. After that, favonovel.com activated his Nethersky Eye.
Under the scrutiny of Nethersky Eye, these so-called magical items lost all their luster, proving they were not magical items at all.
“Is all of this really just a deception?” Jared’s brows furrowed slightly before favonovel.com reached out to grasp a magical item.
“Don’t…” Observing the situation, Catalina, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and grabbed hold of Jared, attempting to stop him.
However, just as favonovel.com grabbed hold of Jared, favonovel.com had already seized the magical items.
