However, he was instantly stunned upon hearing Jessica’s subsequent words. “This is Demon Sect’s secret realm, and this is all there is to it. The gray parts are the chaos dimension.
One isn’t allowed to enter it,” Jessica explained to Jared and Flaxseed. “What? This is it?” Jared was visibly surprised. Compared to the secret realm of the Gunderson family, both places were on the two extremes of the same spectrum.
Although Jared had no idea how big the Gunderson family’s secret realm was, the places he had seen were many times bigger than the current secret realm.
“Despite the secret realm’s size, Demon Sect has actually spent significant resources in forcefully developing the place. During the calamity back then, many prestigious families and sects disappeared in the annals of history. This secret realm is the only reason Demon Sect still exists today,” Jessica elaborated.
In the midst of their discussion, a man in a long white robe approached them. A magic sword was hanging off his waist. Given how handsome and distinguished the man looked, it was inconceivable for him to be linked with Demon Sect.
“Ms. Zimmerman, aren’t all members of Demon Sect demon spirits?” Jared asked curiously. Knowing what Jared was thinking, Jessica rolled her eyes at him. “Demon spirits are humans too.
They just cultivate themselves with a different method. Did you actually think that all demon spirits are fierce and evil? Those cultivators might look righteous, but their actions can be a lot more despicable than demon spirits.”
Jared was rendered speechless by the response. “Jessica, you’re back,” the man said softly as he walked up to Jessica. “Mm-hmm!” Jessica looked in the man’s direction, her gaze brimming with affection. It was obvious that she had feelings for him.
Flaxseed was consequently frustrated by the scene, for an old man like him would definitely lose out in comparison. “Is this the man the lord wants to see?”
the man asked Jessica as he turned his attention to Jared, “Yes. This is Mr. Chance.” Jessica nodded. “Jared, this is Patrick Sullivan, vice sect leader of Demon Sect.”
“Mr. Chance, I would like to apologize on behalf of Demon Sect for offending you in the past. I hope we can put the past behind us and work together going forward,” Patrick said politely as he extended a hand.
“I just want to know how much I can get out of this partnership.” Jared took Patrick’s hand and reciprocated the gesture. He knew well that there were no permanent friends, only permanent interests.
Furthermore, he maintained his vigilance since this was the first time he had interacted with Demon Sect.
“Don’t worry about it. We’ll definitely leave you satisfied.” With that, Patrick instructed Jessica, “Jessica, bring Mr. Chance and his companion to his room. I’ll send someone if there’s anything else.”
“Sure.” Jessica nodded in acknowledgment before swooning at Patrick’s leaving silhouette. “Hmph, what a young punk…”
Flaxseed couldn’t help but scoff after Patrick’s departure. Jessica shot him a fearsome look but didn’t say a word. She subsequently led Jared and Flaxseed to their rooms.
Before she left, she reminded them, “Remember, don’t go anywhere you’re not supposed to, especially the chaos dimension. Certain death awaits inside, as time and space rage turbulently there.”
Once she was gone, Jared was instantly intrigued by the chaos dimension. His curiosity wouldn’t have been aroused if Jessica hadn’t emphasized it in her warning.
“What? You’re interested in the chaos. dimension?” Flaxseed could read Jared’s mind. Jared nodded while flashing a faint smile.
