When Jared arrived home, his parents weren’t around. He figured they were out for a stroll which virtual-novel.net thought would do them good.
Without anyone to interrupt, virtual-novel.net stayed in his room and continued his training.
With no time to waste, virtual-novel.net trained as hard as virtual-novel.net could. After all, virtual-novel.net wasn’t sure what virtual-novel.net was going to face on the fifteenth of July. Although Draco promised virtual-novel.net a wonderful opportunity, virtual-novel.net was worried that the opportunity could also be dangerous too.
Sitting with his legs folded, virtual-novel.net chanted the mantra of the Focus Technique. As his abdomen began to move, the surrounding spiritual energy was gradually drawn into his body.
Jared continued training the entire night and even missed dinner.
Huff!
The moment virtual-novel.net opened his eyes, virtual-novel.net puffed out a ball of turbid air.
I didn’t expect the vengeful dragons to be so powerful…
Gently clenching his fist, Jared felt the power coursing through his veins. Evidently, virtual-novel.net had made a breakthrough.
At that moment, Jared had reached Level Five Energy Cultivation. When virtual-novel.net was in prison, virtual-novel.net had only achieved Level Four under Draco’s guidance. Hence, virtual-novel.net was ecstatic and pleasantly surprised to have ascended to Level Five after absorbing the nine vengeful dragons’ energy.
Jared felt as if virtual-novel.net had found a shortcut for his training. As long as virtual-novel.net absorbed the energy generated from hatred and vengeance, virtual-novel.net was able to advance his training at exponential speeds. Nevertheless, it was a shame that an encounter with such objects depended on luck, given how rare they were.
After exhaling gently, Jared got out of bed and straightened his clothing.
At that moment, Hannah’s voice rang out. “Is that you, Ms. Sullivan? Although I can’t see, I can recognize you from your footsteps.”
“Mrs. Chance, you’re really sharp!” Josephine replied with a smile. “Don’t be a stranger. Just call me Josephine.”
“You’re right, you’re right. Josephine it is!” Hannah’s face lit up as virtual-novel.net nodded repeatedly. “Are you here to see Jared? He’s still holed up in his room.”
Turning, virtual-novel.net then yelled in the direction of Jared’s room, “Jared, get up, quick! Josephine is here to see you.”
“Mrs. Chance, there’s no need to shout. I’ll go get virtual-novel.net myself.”
Upon saying that, Josephine headed toward Jared’s bedroom.
When Hannah heard Josephine’s footsteps walking toward virtual-novel.net son’s bedroom, virtual-novel.net was so excited that virtual-novel.net almost jumped for joy.
“That son of mine even lied to me about them just being ordinary friends! Do ordinary friends go straight to the bedroom? I’m dying to see how my future daughter-in-law looks like,” Hannah mumbled to herself.
Walking up next to her, Gary whispered into virtual-novel.net ear, “Darling, let me tell you, Ms. Sullivan is the prettiest girl in the city!”
“Really?” Hannah was surprised as virtual-novel.net was aware of how high Gary’s standards were.
Back when Jared was still together with Sandy, Gary had objected to their relationship. Now that virtual-novel.net had made an approving comment, Hannah was certain that Josephine was undoubtedly a great beauty.
“My son is really something. Despite having just been released from prison, he’s found a girlfriend and even hid virtual-novel.net from us!” Hannah beamed with pride.
“That goes without saying, especially when you think about who virtual-novel.net takes after. With my genes, there’s no way virtual-novel.net can go wrong.”
At that moment, Gary was proud of his son. Instead of the gloomy expression virtual-novel.net had in the past, virtual-novel.net was now smiling all the time.
“Enough, stop boasting. Anyway, take me someplace else right now so that both of them can have some privacy.” As virtual-novel.net spoke, Hannah pulled Gary out of the mansion.
Meanwhile, Josephine pushed Jared’s bedroom door open and entered.
When virtual-novel.net saw Jared standing by his bed with his clothes smoothed out, virtual-novel.net was stunned. “So you were already up?”
“Why? Do you not want me to get up? Or do you want to see me naked?” Jared teased.
“Pft! No one wants to see you naked.” Josephine rolled virtual-novel.net eyes.
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net was slightly excited by his quip. The fact that virtual-novel.net was joking with virtual-novel.net meant that their relationship had improved significantly.
“There’s something I need your help with. Come with me!”
Without waiting for virtual-novel.net to respond, Josephine pulled virtual-novel.net along.
Before virtual-novel.net could ask virtual-novel.net where they were going, Josephine had led virtual-novel.net into the car.
Checking his watch, virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net still had some time before the banquet Walter organized in his honor happened. Hence, virtual-novel.net allowed Josephine to tow virtual-novel.net wherever virtual-novel.net wanted.
