Chapter 1040 Poisoned

After leaving the ship, Lizbeth, Walter, and the rest left alongside all the other tourists.

“Jared, aren’t your friends joining us?” Skylar asked in surprise when he saw Lizbeth and Walter

leaving.

“No, they’ll just end up being a burden.” Jared smiled plainly.

Reading between the lines, Skylar cracked a grin. “In that case, let’s go.”

With Skylar and Karl walking in front and Jared following behind, the three of them set off for the depths

of the island.

Taking out a geomantic compass, Karl began chanting.

Suddenly, his compass flew into the air and unleashed a faint red hue.

After spinning a few rounds, it began flying in the south-easterly direction.

“Quick, follow it.”

Barking out his instructions, Karl sprinted after the compass, with Skylar and Jared following closely

behind.

After running for half an hour, the compass finally stopped and flew back into Karl’s hand.

“It’s here!” Karl declared as he scanned the surroundings.

“What in the world are you looking for?” Jared asked curiously.

With a narrowed gaze, Skylar replied, “We’re looking for the Flame Dragon. After you swallowed the

Ice Dragon’s draconic essence, the island went through dramatic change, including the disappearance

of the Flame Dragon. Therefore, we are now looking for it so that we can obtain its draconic essence.”

“Don’t tell me that you’re expecting me to fight the Flame Dragon? The Norton family has plenty of

warriors who are stronger than I am,” Jared asked with a puzzled tone.

Given that the Norton family had many powerful warriors, they didn’t need Jared’s help to fight the

Flame Dragon. In fact, the hunched-back old man, who followed Skylar around, was a Top Level

Martial Arts Grandmaster and stronger than Jared. As a result, Jared was cognizant that he was

definitely not there for combat.

“Of course not. We don’t need you to fight it. However, the blood that courses through your veins can

lure the Flame Dragon out of its hiding place.” Skylar’s eyes glistened with murderous intent.

At that moment, Jared finally understood why Skylar invited him to Dragon Island. It turns out that he

was supposed to be the bait to lure the Flame Dragon out.

“Do you think that just the two of you can stop me?” Jared’s aura began to swell within him.

“Hahaha, that’s not up to you to decide!” After breaking out in hearty laughter, Skylar looked in Karl’s

direction. “Do it!”

Karl nodded before his lips started to move as if he was mumbling something.

In the meantime, Jared gave him a baffled look, as he had no idea what Karl was up to.

All of a sudden, Lizbeth, who happened to be more than ten miles away, let out an agonizing scream

when she felt a splitting pain in her head. Subsequently, she collapsed onto the ground and lost

consciousness.

After chanting a curse for more than ten minutes, Karl was shocked to see Jared still standing and not

reacting at all.

“Are you trying to nag me to death?” Jared taunted.

“What’s going on?” Skylar asked Karl with his brows furrowed.

Karl had obviously spiked Jared and Lizbeth’s drink. But now, Jared wasn’t affected by it at all.

“I don’t know. I’m certain that I had poisoned them.”

Karl was baffled as to why Jared wasn’t reacting to his poison.

The moment he heard what Karl had done to him, Jared’s expression drastically changed. “Who else

did you poison?”

With the Focus Technique shielding him, Jared was immune to all poisons. However, the same couldn’t

be said for others. If Lizbeth and the others were poisoned, their life would certainly be in danger.

“The lady you were drinking with, as I spiked the wine both of you drank. Perhaps, the poison in her is

already reacting right now. Therefore, if you obey whatever I say, I’ll give you the antidote later. By then

—”
