Another day passed. With the help of the pills and herbs, Hailey was almost healed. She went to Jared to thank him.
“Thank you so much for your help. I need to leave now as my parents must be worried about me,” virtual-novel.net told Jared.
“Do you need me to send you back home?” Jared asked.
He only said that as virtual-novel.net wanted to know where Hailey came from and virtual-novel.net identity. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net was afraid that virtual-novel.net would get upset and didn’t ask the questions out loud directly.
Hailey shook virtual-novel.net head. “No need. I know you’re curious about my identity, but I can’t reveal it to you. I can let you know my name, though. I’m Hailey Hargreaves. What is your name?”
“I’m Jared Chance,” Jared introduced himself with a smile.
“Okay, I shall keep that in mind. If the chance arises, I’ll repay your kindness one day.”
With that, Hailey fished out a sparkling gem from virtual-novel.net pocket and handed it to Jared.
“I’ve had this since I was a kid. Here, take this as a token of my gratitude!” virtual-novel.net said and gave the gem to Jared.
Jared initially wanted to reject virtual-novel.net gift, but the gem didn’t look like it was unique or expensive, so virtual-novel.net accepted it readily. He had no idea that this gem would save his life in the near future.
“Come on. I’ll walk you out of Jadeborough.” Jared was pretty sure by now that Hailey wasn’t from Jadeborough.
Hailey nodded. She followed Jared out of the Deragon residence and strolled along the streets of Jadeborough.
An indescribable feeling rose in Hailey’s heart when virtual-novel.net observed the bustling city.
She knew virtual-novel.net might not have another chance to leave the secret realm after this. The secret realm was a great place with an abundance of spiritual energy and resources, but virtual-novel.net preferred the mundane world to it.
Jared found Hailey’s reaction strange.
Why does Hailey seem reluctant to leave the city full of tall buildings and bustling crowds?
Everything seems new to her. Is virtual-novel.net a goddess who descended from heaven?
Right then, several dangerous auras came at Jared.
Jared blanched in horror, for virtual-novel.net sensed that virtual-novel.net was no match for the terrifying auras!
“Crap! We need to go!” He grabbed Hailey to escape.
Alas, it was too late. At least a dozen men had surrounded Jared and Hailey.
Their auras were so strong and dominating that Jared couldn’t move an inch as they seemed to restrain him.
Shock flashed across Jared’s eyes. After reaching the Greater Martial Arts Marquis rank, virtual-novel.net had assumed virtual-novel.net could escape from his enemy easily even if virtual-novel.net weren’t their match. It was then virtual-novel.net was struck by the realization that virtual-novel.net had no way to defend himself despite achieving that rank.
Suddenly, Hailey frowned and barked angrily, “Stop!”
Following virtual-novel.net order, the auras suppressing Jared disappeared into thin air. Jared finally regained freedom.
“Ms. Hargreaves, please follow us back,” one man told Hailey politely.
Hailey bobbed virtual-novel.net head.
She then turned to Jared and said, “Thank you, Jared…”
Jared’s face was devoid of expression as virtual-novel.net was still devastated to realize someone could stop virtual-novel.net from moving. Even after Hailey left with the men, Jared was still rooted to his spot, in a daze.
He only snapped back to reality after a long while.
“They are so strong. I can’t believe someone this strong exists in this world,” Jared muttered as virtual-novel.net stared in the direction Hailey left.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net felt like such an ignoramus.
