Chapter 2901 Among The Weakest
“Take me to see them at once.”
Jared couldn’t wait to be reunited with Feenix and Aislin.
“I still need to go to the cave to find the one called Josephine. If what Feenix said is true, she has been buried in the cave for a long time, and her life is in danger,” Quinley replied.
“There’s no such need. She has already been taken away.”
Jared knew of the cave, for he had sensed Josephine and her companions’ auras there. However, there was no one left by the time he arrived.
From the way things looked, Josephine had likely been rendered immobile by her injuries. Hence, she must have been taken by someone.
“Taken by someone?” Quinley was slightly surprised.
“Take me to see Feenix now,” Jared urged. He wanted to rush to the Tall residence and bring Feenix and Aislin him. away with
“Calm down. The two of them are safe at my place. Now that chaos reigns everywhere in the far north, there’s nowhere safe outside! If you take them with you, can you really protect them? Based on their strength, or the lack of it, there’s no way they can defend themselves at all.” Quinley analyzed the situation for Jared.
Only after hearing her words did Jared begin to calm down. Now that he was searching for the treasure, bringing Feenix and Aislin along would only put them in mortal danger.
Therefore, it made more sense for them to stay at the Tall residence. “In that case, I’ll leave them with you, Ms. Tall. Please take good care of them. Once I find the treasure, I’ll return and thank you personally. Please promise me that you’ll keep them safe.”
Jared placed his hopes on Quinley for the task as he could tell she was a good person with a kind heart.
“Don’t worry. As long as I’m around, no one in the Tall family will dare bully the two of them,” Quinley promised.
After a short exchange, Quinley prepared to head back and inform the two about Jared, certain that they would be happy to hear the news.
“Jerison, come back with me,” Quinley ordered.
“Quinley, Mason ordered me to monitor the demons’ movements. On top of that, I’m also to search for the treasure and the ice soul fragments. Since I’m on a mission, I can’t go back with you,” Jerison explained as he shook his head. “Given the chaos everywhere, it’s dangerous for someone with your capability to be outside. Come back with me. I’ll speak to Mason about it,” Quinley insisted.
Jerison was only a Third Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator and among the weakest in the far north currently.
The Tall family might be well known in the far north, but cultivators that arrived from other places couldn’t care less about them. As long as there was a conflict of interest, they would not hesitate to attack.
At worst, they would leave once they got whatever they wanted, as there was no way the Tall family would pursue them to the ends of the earth.
“Quinley, I’m not going back. I know how to protect myself. Besides, I have many men with me. Don’t forget that I know this place like the back of my hand, so I’ll be fine.”
There was no way Jerison would return with her.
Faced with his obstinance, Quinley had no choice but to sigh in resignation. “Fine. Just don’t give Jared any trouble, or I won’t forgive you.”
“Don’t worry. He’s your savior. I won’t lay a finger on him,” Jerison promised. Only after receiving his reassurance did Quinley leave with her mind at ease.
Upon her departure, Jerison gave Jared a cold look before leading his men away, leaving Jared and his companions to continue looking for the treasure.
After resting for a night, the group continued with their search. Even with the treasure map, trying to locate the treasure’s exact location was still as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Not long after they had set off, Jared, through his spiritual sense, detected a messy bunch of auras nearby, a sign that a large group of cultivators had gathered.
