Chapter 1090 Pentacarna Tower
Jared’s brows scrunched together, and he hastily circulated his spiritual energy, only to realize that his elixir field remained motionless. He couldn’t avail himself of even a shred of spiritual energy.
At that, panic inundated him.
If he couldn’t use his spiritual energy, that meant that he was no different from an ordinary person.
“Haha, don’t waste your energy anymore. This is the Gardner family’s Pentacarna Tower! The capability of all who step in here will be suppressed. Of course, members of the Gardner family are exempt,” Karl crowed with a guffaw as he observed Jared’s rather panicked expression.
“Where is my girlfriend?”
Jared eyed him coldly.
“Don’t be in such a hurry. Just follow me.”
With Karl leading the way ahead, the two of them stepped on the gilded stairs and headed upstairs.
All the while, Jared desperately launched the Focus Technique, hoping to use the spiritual energy within his elixir field to break through the bonds. Alas, it didn’t work at all.
Just as he was going to give up, the draconic essence within his elixir field abruptly shimmered. Right after that, the Power of Dragons within him broke through the bonds.
After the shackles restraining him shattered, the spiritual energy within his elixir field started roiling wildly. His capabilities were restored in an instant. However, Karl, who was wearing an excited expression right then, didn’t realize it yet.
Only when they reached the third floor did Jared spot Lizbeth, who had been brought over, in an empty hall.
The moment Lizbeth caught sight of him, she grew emotional. “What’s this place, Jared? Where are we now?”
Her memories were still stagnant at Dragon Island, for it was there she had fallen into a coma.
Therefore, she had no inkling that Jared had brought her to the northwest.
“We’re in the northwest now, Lizbeth. Don’t be afraid, for everything will be fine.”
Jared wanted to go and comfort her, but Karl stopped him.
“Why? I’m merely an ordinary person now that my capabilities are restrained. Don’t tell me you’re still afraid of me even now?” Jared drawled indifferently upon seeing the man blocking his path.
“Nonsense! Who’s afraid of you? In this Pentacarna Tower, you’re never my match!”
Karl dropped his hold on Jared, allowing the latter to rush over and hug Lizbeth tightly.
“What exactly is happening here, Jared? Why are we here? I can’t sense any spiritual energy within me,” Lizbeth asked frantically while embracing the man.
“I’ll explain things to you later when there’s time, Lizbeth. Let’s talk after I finish all these men off,” Jared murmured as he consoled her.
“You’ve seen your girlfriend now, Jared. Besides, she has also regained consciousness. It’s time you hand things to me!” Karl declared smugly.
In response, Jared sneered, “Hand things to you? How are you worthy of it? Since my girlfriend has regained consciousness, there’s no use keeping you alive. It’s time you die!”
When Karl saw Jared speaking to him in such a manner, he was stunned. Then, he snarled, “Fine, kid! Since you have a death wish, I’ll grant you your wish and take the draconic essence out of your body!”
Turning to his two subordinates, he ordered, “You two there, kill him!”
He’s no different from an ordinary person at the moment, so I don’t even need to deal with him myself.
“Understood!”
The two men charged at Jared.
“Stand aside, Lizbeth!” Jared instructed Lizbeth to move aside before saying to them with a smirk, “It’s perfect to use the two of you for practice!”
The two men were Fifth Level Martial Arts Grandmasters, so they were considered experts in the martial arts world.
However, no sooner had they reached Jared than a powerful aura promptly burst forth from the latter. In a trice, the two men were both floored.
They both froze, for they had thought that Jared’s capabilities had long since been suppressed and that he had become an ordinary person. However, the aura they sensed then was evidently far greater than theirs.
