Simultaneously, Magnus led his group into the arcane array. Just as a few people were about to be flung away by the activated defense, the arcane array suddenly disappeared. Magnus felt extremely puzzled, but he still managed to take credit for himself.
“Master, the arcane array has been broken. We can enter now,” Magnus exclaimed.
Upon seeing Magnus’s skills, Pablo nodded in approval and began to head toward the mountain peak as well.
The mountain peak was surrounded by celestial mist. Both the trees and the demon beasts seemed to have gained spirituality.
Jared walked ahead with extreme caution, unsure if there were any more arcane arrays surrounding the mountain peak.
“Mr. Summers, we’ve struggled to get in here. Wouldn’t it be a great loss if we didn’t take even a single piece of treasure?” On the road, Freddie asked Tyler with confusion.
Tyler glanced at Freddie and said, “You’re being short-sighted. If we don’t take the treasure, it could leave Mr. Chance feeling indebted to us. Moreover, given Mr. Chance’s understanding of arcane arrays, even casual instruction from him would greatly benefit our family. Wouldn’t that be better than any treasure? Moreover, with how dignified Mr. Chance is… If he could be united in marriage with my daughter, I fear that in the entire Ethereal Realm, in terms of arcane arrays, talisman, and spell techniques, my Summers family would be unparalleled…”
It turned out that Tyler had intended to arrange a marriage between his daughter and Jared. That was why he had taken the initiative to propose giving up his share of the treasure, offering it all to Jared.
Freddie said, “Mr. Summers, it seems Mr. Chance already has women by his side. The way those two women look at him, they’re clearly infatuated with him. You’re asking Ms. Summers to…”
Before Freddie could finish speaking, Tyler interrupted with a laugh, “Isn’t it quite normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines? Moreover, considering Mr. Chance’s capabilities, as long as he doesn’t mind, she wouldn’t mind even being his third or fourth concubine.”
Upon hearing that, Freddie didn’t say anything more. He could only look at Jennifer, who was still completely unaware.
Unbeknownst to Tyler, Jared’s women were not limited to just the two present.
If Jennifer really ended up with Jared, the idea of her being the third or fourth wife would be out of the question. She would probably be relegated to being the tenth wife or even lower.
However, whether Jared would agree or not was uncertain. After all, not every woman was to Jared’s liking.
As Jared and his companions traversed through the dense forest, heading toward the highest mountain peak, they suddenly heard a scream of terror.
Immediately after, the members of the Summers family began to scream in increasing horror.
The members of the Summers family were seen with wide eyes in terror, frantically slapping their bodies, and even rolling on the ground.
Upon witnessing that scene, both Tyler and Freddie were utterly dumbfounded.
Upon hearing the sound, Jared quickly turned around and ran back.
“Mr. Chance, what do you make of this situation?” Tyler asked anxiously, his face full of concern.
After a glance, Jared immediately concluded, “These people have fallen into an illusion…”
After speaking, Jared recited the calming Incantation, then proceeded to channel streams of aura into the bodies of the members of the Summers family.
Before long, those individuals ceased their agonizing screams. They then rose to their feet, their faces filled with bewilderment, their eyes brimming with confusion.
“What was going on with all of you?” Tyler asked with a furrowed brow.
A member of the Summers family said, “Master, just a while ago, I felt an unbearable itch all over my body, as if I was covered in venomous insects. Moreover, it felt as though I was surrounded by a raging inferno. The heat was intense.”
“Indeed, that’s how it was for us too…” The others also nodded in agreement, voicing their approval one after another.
“It’s truly peculiar. If it were an illusion array, we should all be deeply trapped within it. Why is it that some people are unaffected, while others are affected? Moreover, I didn’t sense the presence of any arcane array in the vicinity, so it couldn’t possibly be an illusion array.” Freddie felt extremely puzzled,
“There was no illusionary array here, and they were not deceived by any illusionary array either. After Jared finished speaking, he walked toward a member of the Summers family.
