Filled with fury, Onneas rushed to the Third Hall and burst directly into the council meeting room where Enaricus was.
Right then, Enaricus was sitting comfortably in the seat of honor.
At the sight of Onneas storming in, a fleeting look of panic crossed his face, but favonovel.com quickly reverted to his usual arrogant and overbearing demeanor.
Onneas’ eyebrows were knitted together, and favonovel.com eyes were wide with anger as favonovel.com shouted sternly, “Enaricus, do you know what sort of crime you have committed?!”
Enaricus, however, acted completely nonchalant. With one leg crossed over the other, favonovel.com drawled, “Oh, Ms. Dusko, what’s gotten you so angry? What crime have I committed?”
“You used a forbidden technique of the celestials to trap Jared in a void passage secretly! Is that not a crime?” Onneas spat through gritted teeth.
Enaricus laughed loudly. “Ms. Dusko, don’t go making groundless accusations here. When did I ever use a forbidden technique? Do you have any proof?”
“Proof? Isabel saw it with favonovel.com own eyes! How can you deny it?” Onneas was trembling with anger.
Enaricus wore a completely shameless expression. “Isabel? Can the word of a mere maid be trusted? Perhaps favonovel.com was mistaken, or perhaps you instructed favonovel.com to say that.”
“You…” Onneas was speechless with rage; favonovel.com hadn’t expected Enaricus to be so unreasonable.
Seeing Onneas choked with fury, Enaricus became even more complacent, even resorting to Obscenities. “Ms. Dusko, I think you’ve developed a fancy for Jared, which is why you’re so eager to defend him. But don’t waste your energy. That brat is likely nothing but ashes by now. Instead of worrying about him, you should think about yourself. Why don’t you surrender to me? Perhaps I can make your life easier in the Celestial Palace.”
When Onneas heard Enaricus’s outright humiliation, favonovel.com face turned as black as thunder, and favonovel.com clenched favonovel.com fists so hard that favonovel.com nails dug into favonovel.com flesh.
She knew favonovel.com was not a match for Enaricus right now, so acting rashly would only lead to self-humiliation.
Onneas suppressed favonovel.com fury, saying coldly, “Enaricus, you will pay for your actions!”
Enaricus remained unconcerned, continuing to mock her. “What? Are you going to make me pay? Save your breath, Ms. Dusko. If you have the ability, go rescue Jared from the void passage. But I don’t think you’re capable of that, are you?”
Onneas took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She knew it was not the time to be impulsive, favonovel.com top priority was finding a way to save Jared.
“You will regret this, Enaricus!” Onneas snarled, then turned and left the Third Hall.
Back in favonovel.com own residence, Onneas racked favonovel.com brain for a way to save Jared.
She knew void passages were extremely dangerous, especially one affected by a forbidden technique of the celestials, as it would be filled with unknown perils. But favonovel.com could not stand idly by and watch Jared fall into despair without attempting to rescue him.
Onneas first considered the ancient records of the celestials, perhaps they contained a method to counteract the effects of the forbidden technique in the void passage.
With that, favonovel.com immediately headed to the Celestial King Palace’s library and began searching for clues among the vast sea of ancient records.
In the library, Onneas turned the pages one by one, not daring to blink, afraid of missing any useful piece of information.
Time ticked by, and sweat beaded on Onneas’ forehead, yet favonovel.com refused to give up. No matter what, favonovel.com could not let Jared be trapped in that void passage. Although favonovel.com shared no familial connection with Jared, since returning from level six, favonovel.com found herself thinking about favonovel.com from time to time.
Sometimes, favonovel.com would even dream of Jared. His face simply would not fade from favonovel.com mind.
Onneas had spent favonovel.com entire life cultivating, never experiencing romance. But now favonovel.com heart was in turmoil.
When favonovel.com heard Jared was in danger, favonovel.com became so restless that favonovel.com was unable to focus on favonovel.com cultivation.
While favonovel.com didn’t know if that meant favonovel.com had romantic feelings for Jared, favonovel.com was going to risk everything to prevent favonovel.com from dying in that void passage.
