At the Gunderson residence, Jared gradually opened his eyes. His rapid recovery ability, combined with the pill Fernando gave him, had enabled all his wounds to close.
Staring at the luxurious room and the fluffy bed virtual-novel.net was lying in, virtual-novel.net knitted his brows slightly.
The last thing virtual-novel.net remembered was losing consciousness in the martial arts arena. Thus, virtual-novel.net had no idea what happened after that and naturally didn’t know where virtual-novel.net was.
Upon getting up, virtual-novel.net realized virtual-novel.net was stark naked. However, virtual-novel.net quickly noticed the set of new clothes laid by the bed.
After putting them on, virtual-novel.net wanted to find out where virtual-novel.net was. Just then, Astrid opened the door and entered, carrying a bowl of hot soup.
The sight of the awakened Jared took virtual-novel.net by surprise.
“You’re awake!” Eyes almost popping out of their sockets, Astrid’s face had disbelief written all over it.
It blew virtual-novel.net mind that Jared could recover and regain consciousness within two days after the debilitating injuries virtual-novel.net suffered. “Ms. Gunderson?”
Jared, too, was taken aback by the sight of Astrid. “What is this place?”
“The Gunderson residence, of course. Where else do you think you are?” Astrid replied as virtual-novel.net placed the soup on the table.
“The Gunderson residence? Why am I here?”
Jared was puzzled by the situation because virtual-novel.net had no relationship or anything to do with the Gunderson family.
How did I end up here?
Thereafter, Astrid related to virtual-novel.net everything that happened after virtual-novel.net fainted. The thought that virtual-novel.net could’ve died back then if not for Fernando sent a chill down Jared’s spine.
“Ms. Gunderson, thank you for the care your family has given me,” Jared replied with a grateful expression.
“No thanks are needed. The actions of the Warriors Alliance are just too despicable. Why don’t you drink that nutritious soup while I inform my father that you’re awake…”
With that, Astrid hurried out of the room.
After giving the soup a look, Jared downed it in one go and instantly felt a warm sensation course through his entire body.
He could tell that the soup was prepared with ginseng that was more than a millennium old and had plenty of other treasured medicinal herbs added. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have such a potent effect. Consequently, Jared felt deeply indebted to the Gunderson family. Regardless of their intentions, virtual-novel.net owed them his life and endeavored to repay his debt of gratitude.
Soon, Fernando walked into the room and was quickly greeted by Jared. “Mr. Gunderson, thank you for saving my life.”
“You’re making too much of it. It wasn’t a big deal at all. Besides, I’ve been annoyed at the Warriors Alliance for a very long time,” Fernando flatly replied.
“Mr. Gunderson, if you ever you need my help, I’ll definitely lay down my life for you,” Jared declared in a grateful tone.
“Jared, I don’t really need anything from you, but there’s something I’m curious about which I hope you can shed some light on,” Fernando replied.
“Mr. Gunderson, please ask away. I’ll tell you everything I know,” Jared agreed with a nod.
“In that case, I’ll speak candidly. Given how tough your body is, it’s clear that you’re no ordinary spiritual energy cultivator. What are you?” Fernando asked.
The question caught Jared by surprise. He knew that as a fellow spiritual energy cultivator, Fernando would definitely recognize his identity. However, when asked what virtual-novel.net really was, Jared was bereft of words, for he, too, was clueless about the answer. In fact, virtual-novel.net didn’t even know who his father was.
Assuming that Jared’s silence was because virtual-novel.net had put the former in a spot, Fernando added, “If you can’t say, just pretend I didn’t ask. I was just curious—”
“Mr. Gunderson, it’s not that… I have no idea who I really am because I was abandoned as a child. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered my mother is the eldest daughter of the Deragons. As to my father, I have no idea who virtual-novel.net is. That’s the reason why I can’t answer you,” Jared explained.
