“If he wants to save his girlfriend, he will certainly oblige. But, we may have no choice but to give him the resources that are about to appear soon,” said Patrick Sullivan with a grim expression.
“This guy has a rebellious spirit. Then again, he will be of great help to us if we know how to make use of him,” said the black-robed man calmly.
“I’ll figure out a way to use him to our advantage. It’s better that you make a move first before someone sees you,” Patrick urged the black-robed man to leave as soon as possible.
“I’ll leave everything to you then. Once the spiritual energy has been revitalized, we, the demon spirits, will make a comeback.” With that, the guy in the black robe waved his hand in the air, and a ray of bright light lit up. He then disappeared into the light.
Soon after the black-robed man left, Patrick glanced at the leader of the Demon Sect who had been still all the while. He walked up and removed the mask of the leader.
There was only a set of skeletons underneath the mask. Not a single bit of blood or flesh. could be seen.
Once Jessica sent Jared back to his lodging.. she told him, “Mr. Chance, you can always look for me if anything crops up. I’m genuinely sorry for what happened today. Simon is indeed too impulsive.”
Jessica was apologizing because Simon Lambert tried to hit Jared earlier on.
“That has nothing to do with you.” Jared smiled. He knew that her position in Demon Sect was not high enough. Therefore, she did not have the right to interfere just now.
“Well then, I won’t take up any more of your time. Mr. Chance, please take a good rest.” With that, Jessica was about to leave.
Flaxseed had been waiting by the door all the while, and he immediately opened the door and said, “Ms. Zimmerman, why don’t you come in and take a seat? Let’s have a chat!”
Jessica rolled her eyes at Flaxseed. She knew that if she went into the house, Flaxseed would definitely take advantage of her.
However, just as Jessica was about to walk away, Jared suddenly called out to her, “Ms. Zimmerman, how long have you been in Demon Sect?”
She turned around and looked at him. “Mr. Chance, why do you want to know?” “Oh, I just want to know you better since we will be working with one another in the future!” explained Jared.
With a smile, Jessica replied, “I have been with them for more than a decade. I was brought here since I was a child.” “Why did you decide to join Demon Sect? Did they force you to join?” asked Jared curiously.
“No, of course. Demon Sect never forces anyone to join them. Back when I was only a child, my parents died after our family was hunted down by our enemies. Someone from Demon Sect saved me and took me back here,” Jessica clarified.
The moment Jared heard her explanation, he felt very awkward. He did not expect Jessica to have such a miserable past. “Ms. Zimmerman, I’m so sorry…”
Jared felt bad for reminding Jessica about her painful past. “It’s fine. That was a long time ago. Besides, I love my life now. Although others call us demon spirits, I find this place heartwarming.
Furthermore, for more than ten years, our lord has always taught us to become better people through cultivation and to not lose ourselves. If anyone who practices our cultivation technique becomes greedy and loses control of himself, he will be devoured by the technique and will become a cruel and ruthless person.
That’s why many people get the wrong idea about us. Now that you have met people from the Demon Sect, don’t you think we’re different from what you imagined us to be?”
When Jessica was talking about Demon Sect, her eyes lit up with pride. “You’re right. It is, indeed, different,” said Jared as he nodded his head. It was true that the moment Simon saw Jared, he challenged him to a fight and showed no mercy at all.
