Chapter 860 Hide
Just when Rayleigh was about to say something or other, a knock sounded on the room door.
Both Rayleigh and Melanie’s expressions changed slightly. Who could it be at this time of the night?
Rayleigh motioned for Melanie to open the door while he got ready to attack.
The moment Melanie opened the door, she unexpectedly saw that it was Jared and the others who had
returned.
“Why are you all back?” she exclaimed in astonishment.
When Rayleigh saw that Jared had come back, he likewise queried with a frown, “Did something happen
that you all returned so quickly?”
In response, Jared shook his head. “Mr. Deragon, I’ve procured the draconic essence.”
Upon hearing that, Rayleigh promptly shrouded him with a layer of spiritual sense. Sure enough, he
sensed the change in the man. With excitement written all over his face, he exclaimed, “It’s great that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou managed to secure the draconic essence so quickly! How about the Flame Dragon’s draconic
essence?”
At the mention of the Flame Dragon, Jared was reminded of Renee, who had turned into an ice block. In
an instant, his mood took a nosedive.
“Mr. Deragon, I don’t want to sacrifice the lives of those around me for the sake of acquiring draconic
essences,” he asserted with a solemn expression.
When Rayleigh heard that, he swept his gaze around, but he saw no sign of Renee. Realization swiftly
dawned upon him, and his eyes turned red-rimmed. “This is destiny, Jared. Don’t be overly devastated. I
hope you won’t let the draconic essence Renee exchanged with her life go to waste.”
“Mr. Deragon, is Renee to be frozen on Dragon Island forever? Do even you not have a way of saving
her?” Josephine inquired from the side just then.
After all, Rayleigh was no different from an immortal in her eyes, with nothing beyond his capabilities.
Regretfully, Rayleigh shook his head. “No, I don’t. However, there’s no end to spiritual energy cultivation.
Perhaps you’ll be able to find a way to save her when your cultivation surpasses mine.”
“I’ll definitely save her!”
Jared’s eyes brimmed with resolve. If I can’t even protect those around me, what’s the use of spiritual
energy cultivation to immortality?
“How did you all come back? Isn’t the duration three days this time?” Rayleigh questioned in perplexity.
There was only one ship belonging to the Deragons, so Jared and his entourage had to take that ship if
they wanted to return.
Jared proceeded to tell him everything that happened on the island, only concealing the fact that Shadow
Estate was also one of the regiments of the Dragon Sect.
After hearing it all, Rayleigh frowned slightly, and his expression turned exceedingly somber.
“I’m afraid that it won’t be long before the fact that you swallowed the draconic essence becomes
common knowledge. Besides, this matter can’t possibly remain a secret from the Deragon family. You’ve
got to be even more careful and on guard in the future. Right now, it’s imperative that you leave
Southernshire immediately. Find an isolated place to hide and use the draconic essence to cultivate and
boost your capabilities. I’ll take care of Josephine and Lizbeth for you. Also, I’ll teach them how to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcultivate. Considering their current capabilities, they’ll only be a burden if they go with you. Remember
this—do not reveal your powers unless it’s a matter of life and death. Now that you’ve swallowed the
draconic essence, you’ve already become the public enemy, and many will want to kill you,” he exhorted
solemnly.
He hadn’t expected so many people to witness Jared obtaining the draconic essence, much less
discover the location of the Ice Dragon.
Ugh! How despicable of the Deragon family! If they hadn’t opened the Dragon Island to the public all of a
sudden, there wouldn’t have been such a crowd on the island. Then, Jared would’ve had an opportunity
to sneak onto the island and procure the draconic essence before leaving without alerting anyone to his
presence. Now that the matter of him having swallowed the draconic essence has come to light, his days
will probably be increasingly difficult henceforth.
Jared had never thought that the matter would be so serious, but after listening to Rayleigh, he knew that
many people would likely seek him out and pick trouble with him from here on out.
After bidding the few of them farewell, he left overnight.
Following his departure, Rayleigh didn’t tarry either. He left with Josephine and the others, bringing along
the white wolf, all disappearing from Southernshire together. No one knew where they went.
