Chapter 1483 Console
Meanwhile, not a single person from Medicine God Sect had recovered from the sorrow of Jared’s death.
A depressing atmosphere loomed over the place.
“Lizbeth, I can feel it. Jared isn’t dead!” Renee declared as she stood next to Lizbeth on top of the hill.
Lizbeth had been visiting the location daily. She would stand there and stare in the eastern direction of Dragon Island.
She would imagine seeing Jared appear, only to be bitterly disappointed each time.
A month soon went by, and Lizbeth still could not accept the reality of Jared’s passing.
Lizbeth’s eyes were listless, and it was as if her entire being had gone numb. She showed no signs of hearing Renee’s words.
“Renee!”
Just then, Colin approached them with a bouquet of flowers he had freshly picked from the mountains.
He had fallen for Renee after interacting with her for some time. Moreover, the two of them were close in age.
Renee’s expression darkened when she saw Colin come toward her with flowers.
Lizbeth was currently heartbroken over Jared’s demise, and Renee did not think the former would appreciate seeing Colin court her before her very eyes.
“What are you doing here? Can’t you see I’m currently talking to Lizbeth?” Renee glared at Colin.
Awkwardly, Colin muttered, “Lizbeth, I’m sure Jared is fine. The b*stards from the Warriors Alliance can’t kill him, so they must’ve released false information. I’m sure Jared will be back soon, so don’t be too sad.”
“I also think that Jared is fine. He’ll feel sad when he comes back and finds out you’ve been depressed.” Renee, too, joined in to console Lizbeth.
“The two of you should leave. I’d like some time alone.” Lizbeth forced herself to smile.
Renee could only nod in agreement and left with Colin at her heels.
Truth be told, Renee had feelings for Colin. Although he often acted carefree and behaved wildly, he was good at taking care of others and was also a staunch upholder of justice.
His only flaws were that his abilities were on the weaker side, and he was not naturally talented.
“Renee, I picked these for you. According to Mr. Knox, these are Golden Moonblossoms. Their fragrance is said to last up to a month.” Colin passed the flowers in his hands to Renee.
Smiling bashfully, Renee accepted the flowers and swiftly planted a kiss on Colin’s cheek.
Stunned, Colin stood there unmoving and clasped the side of his face gently.
Eventually, he came back to his senses, and a joyful smile appeared on his face. He hugged Renee and lifted her into the air.
“I see the youngsters these days have no problem with public displays of affection.”
At that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
Shocked, Renee and Colin turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw Edgar and the members of the Deragon family standing before them.
“Edgar?”
Colin’s expression changed drastically.
Fury clouded Renee’s face the moment she spotted the other man. She did not know him personally, but she knew that he was the one who had gone against Jared in Bliss City.
“Edgar, what brings you here?” Colin inquired loudly.
Clad in black robes, Edgar flashed a sinister grin. “I’m here for that girl. With a body unlike an ordinary human’s, she’s truly a rare specimen encountered once in a blue moon.” Edgar stared at Renee intently. The way he looked at her was akin to a beast sighting its prey.
Colin hurriedly pulled Renee behind him. “Edgar, I’m warning you. We’re at Medicine God Sect. My father and The Villainous Four are all here…”
Colin knew that he was no match for Edgar, so he tried to use the names of his father and The Villainous Four.
