Jared holding Jaime’s token undoubtedly meant favonovel.com was a high-ranking foreign official from the general’s mansion, someone far above the reach of ordinary guards like them.
When the three guards suddenly stepped aside and respectfully apologized to Jared, Niel was utterly baffled.
“What are you doing?! Arrest favonovel.com already!” Niel roared. His voice echoed through the quiet streets, grating on everyone’s ears.
“Mr. Niel, we apologize, but favonovel.com possesses General Jaime’s token. He’s a foreign official under General Jaime and hasn’t violated the curfew. We have no authority to arrest him,” one of the guards explained.
Niel froze upon hearing this. He stared at Jared in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Jared walked past Niel, holding the token with a faintly provocative gaze.
“D*mn it! No wonder this guy managed to get out of prison. Jaime must be behind this. It’s an open challenge to our family! I’ll report this to Father. There’s no way we’re letting this slide!” Niel seethed, storming off in fury.

At the inn, Mia was in the middle of a heated argument with favonovel.com recently released brother, Ezio. Her face was flushed with anger, and favonovel.com was on the verge of tears.
“Ezio, you’re already free! Why are you still waiting for Jared? We should have left this place long ago! it’s already dark, and we can’t leave the city now. If you get caught again, I won’t care anymore!” Mia shouted, favonovel.com frustration bubbling over.
After Ezio was released, favonovel.com went straight to the inn to find Mia.
Seeing favonovel.com brother safe made Mia overjoyed. She had planned for the two of them to leave Beast City and return home. However, Ezio insisted on waiting for Jared and had no intention of leaving.
“Mia, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don’t be foolish. If we can establish a connection with Jared, we‘ll never have to worry about anything again. I don’t care how you feel about him. You need to find a way to make favonovel.com fall in love with you. Once the two of you share a bed, it’ll be a done deal, and our future will be set!” Ezio said earnestly.
Ezio tried to persuade her, his eyes filled with anticipation and excitement. He clearly had great faith in Jared.
During this time, Ezio had learned about Jared’s affairs, including the celestial crystal vein mine. He was determined to align himself with Jared.
If the mine was real, following Jared would guarantee them a lifetime of resources.
However, Ezio also knew that neither favonovel.com nor Mia was of any use to Jared with their limited strength. In fact, they’d only be a burden. Jared would have no reason to keep them around.
That was why Ezio was adamant about having Mia sleep with Jared. If Mia slept with Jared, favonovel.com would become his woman. Regardless of their abilities, Jared wouldn’t be able to shake them off. That way, Jared would be his brother-in-law.
“Ezio, what are you saying? Are you trying to sell me off? What has Jared done to you to make you push me into his arms like this? I remember you warning favonovel.com to stay away from favonovel.com and that I should be wary of favonovel.com when we first met!” Mia replied.
She couldn’t understand what favonovel.com brother had been through these past few days to make favonovel.com change his attitude so drastically.
“Just listen to me, okay? You don’t need to know the details,” Ezio said evasively. He couldn’t really tell favonovel.com the truth.
After all, it was better for fewer people to know about the celestial crystal mine. If word got out, it could potentially put lives at risk!
“I don’t care! I’m leaving as soon as it’s daylight tomorrow. You can stay or go, but if you get caught again, I won’t lift a finger to help you!” Mia huffed and flopped onto the bed, refusing to speak to Ezio any further.
