Jared followed Quinley over when he heard that Mason, the head of the Tall family, wanted to see him. He wanted to meet Mason in person too. Jared was not very sure about Mason as a person for now.
If Mason was an evil man who even colluded with Demonic Cultivators, then it would be dangerous for them to live in the Tall residence. Soon, Quinley brought Jared to the living room.
Jared saw a middle-aged man sitting in the main seat. He knew that the latter must be Mason, the head of the Tall family, while the person sitting beside Mason was Jerison.
When Jerison saw Jared, he stood up and greeted him politely. After all, if it wasn’t for Jared, Jerison could have died in the Demonic Cultivators’ trap, and Jerison was well aware of this fact. Mason also got up and welcomed Jared when he saw him..
“Mr. Chance, thank you so much for saving not only Quinn but also Jerison! I don’t know how to repay your kindness to us.”
Mason didn’t put on airs like how a head of a family usually would. Instead, he was nice and polite. Jared was very comfortable with such a first impression.
He flashed a faint smile and said, “Don’t worry about that, Mr. Mason. We can’t avoid running into problems out there, and it’s normal for us cultivators to help each other!”
“Mr. Chance, please have a seat!”
Mason gestured for Jared to take a seat before he returned to his own seat. Then, he clapped his hands once and somebody entered with a very exquisite bronze plate. There was a crystal clear ice soul fragment shining on the plate.
Mason said sincerely, “Mr. Chance, you should know that there are many ice soul fragments in the far north. However, it’s not easy to find them. The ice soul fragment is very helpful for cultivation as well as for recovering spiritual energy. I don’t have much to repay your kindness for saving my brother and sister, so I can only gift you with an ice soul fragment. I hope you like it…”
Jared was a little shocked as he stared at the ice soul fragment. He did not expect Mason to give him such a precious item.
“Mr. Mason, this is too precious! I can’t possibly accept that! Also, Ms. Tall saved two of my friends and even allowed them to stay here peacefully. I am very grateful for that too!” Jared was very grateful that Quinley had saved Feenix and Aislin and had even given them a place to stay.
“Mr. Chance, I heard that the two girls are your good friends. My incompetent brother almost made a huge mistake! I have already taught him a lesson. Mr. Chance, please accept this ice soul fragment,” Mason said.
Seeing that Mason was so persistent, Jared had no choice but to keep the ice soul fragment.
Mason smiled when he saw Jared accepting it. Then, he waved his hand and said, “Quinn, Jerison, leave us. I need to discuss something with Mr. Chance.”
Quinley and Jerison nodded and left. Jared’s face was full of confusion as he didn’t know what Mason wanted to talk to him about. After Quinley and Jerison left, Mason suddenly enveloped Jared with his aura.
Jared did not expect Mason to make a move against him. He frowned, and the Power of Three in his body erupted instantly. Then, a strong spiritual sense tried to enter Jared’s body forcefully, seemingly trying to find out Jared’s every secret.
Just when the spiritual sense was about to enter Jared’s body, he released his own spiritual sense from his huge consciousness field, trying to devour or destroy the foreign spiritual sense that was trying to enter his body.
