Chapter 1431 A Fool In Love
The elderly voice in Edgar’s mind piped up, “I know what’s going on! These four people absorbed Jared’s girlfriend’s blood, so when they attacked together, they would emanate her aura. Attacking alone would not have achieved that impact, but because they joined hands to strike, Jared would clearly sense her aura.”
The voice continued, “Sensing his beloved’s aura while he was fighting must’ve thrown him off-kilter and landed him in this state. Aren’t you always going on and on about fooling Jared? I can help you.”
“How so?” asked Edgar.
The voice replied sinisterly, “Ask the four members of Warriors Alliance to emanate Jared’s girlfriend’s aura together. Then sit back and leave the rest to me.”
Edgar said to Zion, “President Zeigler, I know why Jared suffered a mental breakdown!”
“How?” asked Zion curiously.
Salvador and the others turned to stare at Edgar as well, eager to learn the reason behind Jared’s state.
Edgar explained, “President Zeigler, these four members from Warriors Alliance emanate an aura that agitates Jared. That’s why Jared froze during his counterattack against them. The aura must’ve given him a mental breakdown!”
He did not disclose Warriors Alliance’s practice of training their members using other people’s blood. It was a despicable act, and the fewer people who knew, the better.
However, Zion immediately read between the lines and was surprised that it had been so simple to mentally incapacitate Jared.
He muttered, “I didn’t think it would be so easy. If only I had known this sooner. We wouldn’t have lost so many men from Warriors Alliance.”
Zion lamented his ignorance. He had even summoned Diego to kill Jared in the past, only to send the poor man to his death.
Noticing Zion’s reaction, Edgar smiled and suggested, “Now that Jared has turned into a halfwit, we can kill him anytime we please. Anyone wants to see me make a fool out of him?”
“How?” asked Zion.
“Ask your men to emanate their auras. I’ll take it from there…” replied Edgar insinuatingly.
Zion glanced at Salvador and nodded his head.
Salvador and the others promptly unleashed their auras, which fused into a stream.
Meanwhile, Edgar released a stream of black mist with a wave of his hand.
The black mist melded with the men’s combined aura and gradually took the form of a human.
Despite its vague form, Jared, whose eyes had been unfocused the entire time, suddenly brightened up. Amid his haste to get to the human-like form, he even pushed Howard aside.
He wrapped his arms around the humanoid form and repeatedly muttered, “Josephine, Josephine…”
Unlike the others, all he could see was Josephine smiling at him in a white dress.
Everyone was flabbergasted by his actions.
Howard rushed forward, attempting to pull Jared away.
Alas, Zion swatted the man away like a fly with a vicious strike.
“Leave Jared alone if you don’t want to die here, Howard,” warned Zion.
Then, the Warriors Alliance’s president returned his attention to Jared.
Jared wept emotionally and wailed, “It’s all my fault, Josephine. I was too weak to save you and put you through so much suffering. I won’t let anyone kidnap you again.”
Tears streamed down his face as he engaged in a bout of self-reproach.
Everyone snickered at the sight of Jared mumbling to a lifeless humanoid form, all except Astrid, whose eyes had welled with tears.
As a woman, she was utterly moved by Jared’s love for his partner.
