Chapter 3787 Easy Prey

The huge boost in power came as a pleasant surprise for Gloria as it exceeded her

expectations. As Primo went back to sleep, Gloria went looking for Heptino.

Judging from his unusual behavior last night, I bet he must be dying to see me right now!

With that in mind, Gloria packed some stew and a couple of side dishes into a lunchbox

and brought it over to Heptino’s room.

The room door was left ajar, and she could hear him snoring from outside. Gloria

deliberately raised her voice a little as she exclaimed, “What? It’s almost noon, for

goodness’ sake! Why is he still asleep?”

Sure enough, the snoring stopped instantly. Heptino then opened the room door and

stepped out seconds later. “Gloria?”

The weary look on his pale face was instantly replaced with joy and excitement when he

saw her. It was exactly as Gloria had predicted. Heptino had been drinking all night since

the wedding ended and had passed out drunk in his room.

He felt like his world was falling apart after the woman he loved was taken from him.

Seeing Gloria outside his door reignited the flames of hope which lit up the darkness in his

heart.

“Is it really you, Gloria?” Heptino asked while rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

Gloria walked up to him and gave him a light smack on the forehead. “What’s gotten into

you, Heptino? You reek of alcohol! Go brush your teeth and eat something before you ruin

your stomach!”

“Okay!” Heptino was nearly touched to tears when he felt her concern for him. Gloria had

laid out the food on the table by the time he finished washing up.

“Why are you still standing there? Come sit down and eat your lunch!” she urged him. It

took Heptino every ounce of willpower he had to stop himself from crying as he wolfed the

food down.

Although the food prepared was bland and simple, Heptino found it to be the most

delicious food in the world. It wasn’t long before Heptino had finished all of the food on the

table.

Gloria simply watched silently from the side with an affectionate look on her face. “You’re

eating like you’ve been starving for days! Here, wipe your mouth!” Gloria exclaimed while

handing him a napkin.

Heptino felt like he was the happiest man in the world as he took the napkin over and

smelled the faint fragrance coming from it. “I wish you could continue looking after me like

this, Gloria,” Heptino said with a genuine smile.

Gloria let out a huge sigh and said helplessly, “I wish I could. Seeing you like this worries

me deeply, but… Well, as you know, I’m no longer single. There are lots of things that I…

You know what, forget it. Let’s not bring up such depressing matters.”

She deliberately acted all hesitant just to pique his curiosity. Sure enough, it worked like a

charm. “What’s wrong, Gloria? Is Primo mistreating you?” Heptino asked worriedly.

“No, Primo has been treating me quite well.” Gloria paused briefly for dramatic effect

before continuing, “However, I sometimes feel a little helpless. As you know, the law of the

jungle applies to both Kenfort and the mundane world. While my cultivation levels are

fairly high, I’m nothing but easy prey to the powerful fighters out there.”

Although she didn’t specify what happened, Heptino understood what she was implying.

Primo must’ve been bullying Gloria, but she’s unable to fight back because she’s not

powerful enough.

Heptino’s hatred toward Primo grew stronger after hearing what Gloria said. “Don’t worry,

Gloria. I have an idea!” he said after giving it some thought.q
