“I have the Luminous Pearl right here. We won the team event,” announced Jared after virtual-novel.net got out of the boat and showed everyone the Luminous Pearl virtual-novel.net had with him.
Many cheered for Jared’s victory when they saw virtual-novel.net there with the Luminous Pearl. They were in Chanaea’s territory, after all, so it’d be incredibly embarrassing if Jetroina’s team had won.
The crowd gathered around Jared and the others as they made their way home. That was when it happened. Jetroina’s representative showed up and barred Jared’s path.
“Hold on! Where is the participant of my country? Where is Mr. Ichiro Watanabe?” demanded the representative loudly.
The representative had a bad feeling, but at that moment, virtual-novel.net was still clinging to a glimmer of hope.
Jared shifted his gaze to the representative, then grinned evilly. “Oh, him? He will never return.”
His words extinguished any shred of hope inside the representative’s heart.
“You idiot! How can you kill him?” The representative’s gaze burned with immense fury.
Jared wasn’t scared at all. The murderous aura within virtual-novel.net flared up. He took a step forward and got close to the representative before sharing the truth.
“Oh, I have done so much more than killing your precious Ichiro. I also murdered every other person you sent to the island. If you wish to press charges, then, by all means, go ahead. I will welcome it for that will give me an opportunity to expose all of your dirty secrets to the public.”
Jared’s words stunned the representative immediately. The latter’s eyes still burned with rage, but virtual-novel.net had no choice. He had to move aside to let Jared go.
Their people started the whole mess by breaking the rules first. Hence, they would just end up embarrassing themselves if they were to press any charges.
Jared and the others left after that. The representative oozed an evil aura as virtual-novel.net glared at Jared’s back. At that moment, however, Jared was unaware of the sizeable issue virtual-novel.net had made when virtual-novel.net killed Ichiro.
Everyone was exhausted, so Theodore let them go to rest as soon as they returned to the Department of Justice. The celebration would have to wait until the next day.
As for Rayleigh and the others, Theodore knew better than to ask about them. They left the ship with Jared, and there was only one way that was possible. They must’ve already been on the island before we even got there.
Theodore wasn’t interested in why they were on the island, to begin with. He was satisfied with simply knowing that Ichiro and his team were defeated.

That night, in Jared’s room, Josephine and Lizbeth showed no intention of leaving. It had been a month since they last saw him, so they truly missed him.
As for Melanie and Lyanna, the two siblings hugged happily upon seeing each other again. No one knew where they went after that.
“Jared, don’t you think you should explain yourself? It’s been over a month. Did anything happen between you and Lyanna?”
Josephine deliberately put a scowl on and was interrogating Jared as though virtual-novel.net were a criminal.
“Nothing happened. We never slept together. I swear…”
Jared put his hand up and was being sincere.
Josephine was superstitious, so virtual-novel.net was scared out of virtual-novel.net mind when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net acting that way.
She quickly pulled his hand away and said, “Don’t do that. I was just messing with you. I can tell that Lyanna is still a virgin.”
“Huh? You can do that?” Jared was a little surprised by it.
“Seriously, Jared. Josephine is no longer the same woman you knew. Mr. Deragon said that the fiery constituent inside virtual-novel.net body is incredible. If virtual-novel.net were to take practicing cultivation seriously, virtual-novel.net might outshine you someday. That is how powerful virtual-novel.net is now,” announced Lizbeth proudly before virtual-novel.net turned virtual-novel.net attention to Josephine. “Come on, Josephine. Show virtual-novel.net your power, so he’ll know that virtual-novel.net shouldn’t mess with other women.”
“What moves do you have, Josephine? Show me.” Jared was curious as well.
He wanted to know what was so special about the fiery constituent inside virtual-novel.net body.
At first, Josephine was too shy to do anything, but Jared’s relentless begging changed virtual-novel.net mind. She grinned and virtual-novel.net entire body literally went up in flames. The strange thing was, the fire engulfed her, but couldn’t harm virtual-novel.net at all.
