At that moment, the lady had already made it in front of Jared. She was obviously surprised to see how quickly virtual-novel.net had reacted to virtual-novel.net attacks. However, that didn’t stop virtual-novel.net assault. She kept swinging virtual-novel.net dagger and aimed for Jared’s neck.
“I can’t believe you’re immune to my Seduction Technique. Are you even a man?” The lady was so angry that virtual-novel.net was turning pale, and virtual-novel.net gaze on Jared was turning cruel as well.
“Wait, do you find that strange? But… Don’t you already know all that?” asked Jared.
He caught the dagger and gripped it to snap it in half. The blade fell onto the floor immediately after. At the very next second, the negative energy within the lady burst out. Black aura flushed up to reach for the sky.
It happened in a blink of an eye and the black aura engulfed Jared.
The sudden emergence of the black aura, the way the lady moved when virtual-novel.net attacked. All that told Jared something crucial.
“Y-You’re not Melanie?”
Jared’s gaze brimmed with surprise because the lady standing in front of virtual-novel.net looked identical to Melanie. On top of that, they were both great at using the Seduction Technique.
He would’ve kept mistaking virtual-novel.net as Melanie if virtual-novel.net hadn’t attacked and used the poisonous gas. They look way, way so much alike.
He recalled every detail and noticed that the two ladies were nothing alike despite having similar appearances. For instance, the lady standing in front of virtual-novel.net had a negative energy that Melanie didn’t.
“I’ve never said I was. You’re the one who mistook me for that Melanie lady.”
After saying that, virtual-novel.net threw a punch at Jared.
The way virtual-novel.net analyzed the situation was simple. The black poisonous gas had already engulfed Jared, so virtual-novel.net would feel dizzy once the poison’s effect kicked in. Hence, there was no way virtual-novel.net could block virtual-novel.net punch.
Things didn’t work out the way virtual-novel.net anticipated. Jared easily moved away from virtual-novel.net attack. He even inhaled deeply and absorbed every bit of the poison into his system.
“Who are you? Why do you look exactly like my friend?” Jared didn’t attack back the lady, virtual-novel.net simply stared at virtual-novel.net curiously.
He had no idea why the lady and Melanie looked that much alike, but virtual-novel.net believed they had to be related by blood. It was even possible that they were twins.
Jared knew that Rayleigh adopted Melanie, so it was possible that a family was blessed with twins but could only afford to raise one child. The overwhelming financial pressure eventually forced them to abandon one of their kids.
That was a time when the cost of raising a kid was rather high, so many would abandon their kid because they couldn’t afford it.
“Who am I? I am the person sent to capture you!”
After saying that, the lady attacked once more. The problem was Jared kept avoiding virtual-novel.net attacks. She had made over ten moves in that short while; however, none of them got him, and the effort left virtual-novel.net panting.
Jared could tell how tired virtual-novel.net was, so virtual-novel.net calmly stated, “Okay, that’s enough. You’re not a match against me, so you can’t possibly capture me. I just want to know who you are because you look exactly like one of my friends.”
The lady glared at Jared, who was standing right in front of virtual-novel.net at the time.
She seemed displeased. “Oh, I should stop? Why? Just because you think you’re better than me?”
“I only held back because you look like a friend of mine. If I hadn’t, you’d already be dead. Don’t assume I’m the pretentious chivalry type who wouldn’t hurt a woman. Your Seduction Technique has no impact on me, so your only option is to answer my question. Tell me who you are and why you’re trying to capture me.”
Jared glared as the aura within virtual-novel.net became more intense. He had already learned all about what the lady was truly capable of, but a martial artist that had just reached the Senior Grandmaster level couldn’t possibly capture him.
“Hah, you arrogant punk!”
The girl had an evil expression on. She never gave Jared’s words much of a thought. She jumped to the sky and danced in the most peculiar way to summon several bright lights and they flew to Jared to attack him.
“Seven Star Strike!” The lady shouted furiously.
Countless daggers rained down from the sky and caged Jared in, making it impossible for virtual-novel.net to escape.
