Chapter 1048 A Real Scoundrel
Jared could feel a powerful force attacking him, as if an entire mountain was weighing on him.
He gritted his teeth. His eyes turned even more bloodshot as the manic and domineering power within him exploded.
The overpowering strength caused that pressure to disappear in an instant. Meanwhile, the Necro Ring floating above his head was sent flying back into Skylar’s hand.
Feeling the Power of Dragons surging through him, Jared was delighted.
“What else can you do? Show me!” Jared glared at Skylar coldly.
“Don’t gloat too soon! You’ll regret it sooner or later…” With that, Skylar tossed the Necro Ring into the air and a black portal appeared.
Grabbing Karl, Skylar jumped into the portal. Just when Jared was about to chase after him, the portal disappeared.
He glanced around anxiously. Skylar had told him that the Necro Ring could only transport people at most a hundred meters away. Hence, if he took a closer look, he could see where the both of them were escaping to.
Jared kept searching his surroundings, but could not spot Skylar and Karl at all. This was despite the fact that he could see things a thousand meters away, let alone a hundred meters.
Since he could not spot any of them, the only explanation was that the Necro Ring could transport people beyond a hundred meters. Skylar had lied to him!
“That scoundrel!” Upon realizing that Skylar had lied to him, Jared cursed out loud.
He kept the Dragonslayer Sword and sprinted toward the coast, worried for Lizbeth’s safety. He wanted to know whether she had really been poisoned by Karl.
Meanwhile, at the Dragon Island’s dock, Walter and the rest crowded around Lizbeth anxiously.
No one could figure out what was wrong with her. Just moments after reaching the coast, Lizbeth fainted. Till now, her body was still twitching rhythmically.
Terrified, Walter and the rest quickly carried Lizbeth back to the dock.
They did not know what to do. Since Jared was not there either, they were all engulfed in panic.
“Lizbeth! Lizbeth! Wake up!” Walter held Lizbeth’s hand, so anxious that tears streamed down his cheeks.
“Don’t be so worried yet, Mr. Grange! Although Lizbeth is unconscious, her breathing is still stable. It’s probably not a major problem. After Jared comes back, let him take a look,” William consoled Walter. Then, he glanced at Tommy and instructed, “Tommy, look for Jared and bring him back as quickly as possible!”
“Okay!” Nodding, Tommy immediately went to look for Jared. Meanwhile, Jared was also rushing back to the dock rapidly.
Within a few moments, Tommy bumped into him.
“Mr. Chance!” yelled Tommy excitedly when he spotted Jared.
“Why are you here, Tommy? Where’s Lizbeth and the rest?” Jared had a bad feeling in his gut when he saw Tommy.
“Mr. Chance, I’m here to look for you. For some reason, Ms. Grange suddenly fainted and Mr. Grange is worried sick,” informed Tommy.
When Jared heard that, he frowned and sprinted toward the dock. Tommy followed closely behind him.
Upon arriving at the dock, they saw Lizbeth lying on the grassy patch motionlessly. Walter guarded her at the side, sobbing endlessly.
When he spotted Jared, he quickly got up and grabbed Jared. “Jared, you must save Lizbeth! I don’t know why, but she suddenly fainted…”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Grange. I know what happened.” Jared squatted and helped Lizbeth up.
He channeled a gust of spiritual energy into Lizbeth’s body, but it was futile. However, after he checked her breathing, he heaved a sigh of relief.
