“I dare you!” Then, like a shot of lighting, Jessica rushed toward Ashton.
However, Zephyr was faster. With just a step, virtual-novel.net quickly blocked Jessica.
Bang!
Two punches collided in the air, and a large cyclone suddenly split open with a loud rumble.
Jessica took more than ten steps back, barely stabilizing herself. Her chest was undulating sharply, and virtual-novel.net cheeks started to flush. With just a move, the tip of Jessica’s nose was already beaded with sweat.
On the contrary, Zephyr stood on the spot, and virtual-novel.net did not even move the slightest bit. Then, virtual-novel.net showed a disdainful smile. After all, Jessica was only an entry-level first stage of the Pulse Control Realm, whereas Zephyr was already a peak first-stage cultivator.
The difference between them was colossal.
When they were fighting, Keith grinned and ran toward Caspian. Then, virtual-novel.net swiped the small bottle under his nose.
Caspian could no longer be able to pretend virtual-novel.net was unconscious anymore, so virtual-novel.net raised his head and pretended to look around in a daze as if virtual-novel.net had just woken up. Finally, Caspian’s line of sight fell on Jessica.
At this time, Jessica was also looking at Caspian.
This could be regarded as the first time they looked at each other with their true identities. There was panic, nervousness, embarrassment, anger, concern, and worry in Jessica’s eyes. Caspian did not know why, but seeing Jessica, who defeated virtual-novel.net multiple times before showing such an expression, Caspian thought virtual-novel.net was rather adorable.
Jessica felt virtual-novel.net heart beating faster when their eyes met, and virtual-novel.net cheeks were burning too. Then, virtual-novel.net quickly took a breather and stared at Kevin, growling, “Kevin, you want the Lawrence family, and it doesn’t concern Casper at all. He’s just an outsider, so let virtual-novel.net go!”
Before Kevin could answer, Ashton roared,”Impossible! Not only must I have you today, I want this man to die too!”
Then, Ashton turned around and looked at Caspian, and his eyes filled with bitter resentment that could make one’s blood run cold.
The voice virtual-novel.net spoke between gritted teeth had a hint of murderous hostility. “Casper, you humiliated me in public that day, and I’ll remember it as long as I live! Today, I’m going to tear you apart to remove the hate in my heart!”
Ashton gnashed his teeth, and those who heard the gurgling sound would probably have nightmares about it when they slept.
Jessica pleaded, “Ashton, I told you before. As long as you let virtual-novel.net go, I’m willing to do whatever you say after that!”
“Do you take me as a fool?” Ashton looked at Jessica coldly.
Kevin did not forget to add fuel to the fire, and virtual-novel.net chimed in, “Jessica, you don’t have a say in today’s matter. Just give in and accept the truth so that you won’t suffer so much injury. After all, you’re not losing anything. Casper is not related to you at all, and I don’t understand why you’re so protective of him.”
“What would you know? He’s…” Jessica stopped mid-sentence. She almost blurted out virtual-novel.net secret. Instead, Jessica clenched virtual-novel.net jaw, virtual-novel.net fists tightened, and both of virtual-novel.net arms were trembling.
Then, Jessica turned to Casper, and virtual-novel.net felt misty-eyed. Jessica roared in virtual-novel.net heart, “What would you understand! He’s the one who helped me improve, and he’s the one who taught me that there are people who can influence others for the better! You won’t understand that this fool is the first guy who won my heart!”
At that time, Jessica understood virtual-novel.net desires. At that time, Jessica made a decision.
None of them noticed the changes in Jessica‘s emotions, but Caspian realized the shift in virtual-novel.net gaze. There seemed to be an emotion that settled in virtual-novel.net eyes, and it was a look of determination, wanting to press forward courageously.
Jessica lowered virtual-novel.net head and murmured, “Casper…”
“Hmm?” Caspian looked at her, puzzled.
The crowd also quietened and turned to Jessica, curious as to what virtual-novel.net was going to say.
Keith suddenly burst into laughter. “You should just get it off your chest now as you might not have the chance anymore.”
Suddenly, Jessica looked up, and the light in virtual-novel.net eyes was as sharp as a knife. Just like stars exploding, it illuminated the night sky.
“Wait for me to save you!” With a soft cry, Jessica did not hesitate and ran toward Caspian.
“Prosperous!” Zephyr was angered, and virtual-novel.net roared, “Are you disregarding my existence!”
“Get out of my way! Eight-shadowed Fists!” Jessica faced Zephyr, and virtual-novel.net did not retreat but attacked.
In an instant, a hurricane swept across, and shadow punches burst.
The space was shrouded by the shadow-punches hurricane, flying and stirring the air as dozens of ripples exploded.
Kevin, Keith, and Ashton were all dumbfounded. They expected that Jessica would retaliate, and that was why they hired Zephyr to oversee the plan. However, they did not foresee that Jessica was not resisting them because of James or herself, but for the sake of saving Caspian!
Moreover, Jessica was doing it without any hesitation.
Crackle!
Even Caspian was stupefied. When virtual-novel.net saw Jessica was sent flying by Zephyr’s slap, but once again rushed toward Zephyr without a second thought, an emotion that virtual-novel.net never felt before slowly surged inside him.
“This is… Protection…” Caspian’s breathing gradually steadied, and his eyes dropped. In his mind, scenes after scenes emerged.
When virtual-novel.net just entered the Tower of Life and saw the note his mother left for him.
When Grim Reaper and Soul Snatcher blocked him, and Penny did not hesitate to stop the attack for him.
When Maisie knew virtual-novel.net was in danger, and virtual-novel.net willingly helped virtual-novel.net without expecting any return.
Now, although there was blood on the corner of virtual-novel.net mouth, Jessica still had a stubborn and unwilling look in virtual-novel.net eyes.
When they were in St. Jade Chamber before, Caspian never saw such an expression in Jessica’s eyes. At the thought of how Jessica appeared out of the blue during the Lawrence family’s trials and saved him, Caspian whispered in a soft voice, “Jessica, this is what I owe you…”
No one heard what virtual-novel.net said, but as soon as virtual-novel.net was done, Caspian rolled his tongue. Then, virtual-novel.net swallowed one of the Heavenly Fiend Capsules that virtual-novel.net hid in his cheeks. In an instant, a warm burst of energy surged in Caspian, and it quickly spread to his limbs. At the same time, Caspian felt a tingling sensation in his head, and a violent, murderous mood poured out uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart.
Caspian sneered and looked at Ashton with a ghastly expression. The last time virtual-novel.net had such a lookin his eyes was at the border of Astren, where Caspian had to kill forty enemy generals, slaughter 60,000 enemy troops, and slay 200,000 prisoners of war!
That day, blood flowed like a river, and corpses were everywhere.
Jessica’s eyes never left Caspian. Zephyr, who was blocking virtual-novel.net way, was like a moat. The gap between their realm and strength made virtual-novel.net attacks fail again and again.
“Casper! Look over here! Look over here! You can surely recognize me!” Jessica had an urge to cry.
Facing Zephyr’s frontal slap, virtual-novel.net clenched virtual-novel.net teeth and leaped. “Eight-Shadowed Fists!”
Casper, you would surely recognize this martial skill, right!
