Just as Jared was about to take action, the voice of Lauden echoed over! “It’s me…”
Jared was slightly taken aback, looking at Lauden with confusion. He couldn’t understand why Lauden was seeking him out so surreptitiously!
Recalling the moment when Lauden intentionally gripped his hand tightly during their handshake, Jared knew for sure that Lauden was dealing with something!
“Mr. Delacroix, is there something you need?” In a hushed tone, Jared asked. Lauden glanced around and whispered, “We should find a more secluded spot.”
Jared nodded, leading Lauden into the cave. He then ordered the two holy maidens to guard the entrance of the cave..
At that moment, Lauden finally let out a sigh of relief. Turning to Jared, he said, “My friend, my intention in collaborating with you was actually to ask for your help.”
“What can I assist you with?” Jared asked in confusion!
Lauden’s cultivation level had already reached Ninth Level Tribulator, so Jared didn’t know how he could possibly be of any further assistance!
“During the trip to the polar region, Heinrik and his crew were already harboring murderous intentions. Ever since I let you escape from the Five Great Sects last time, they’ve been holding a grudge against me. Recently, I’ve advanced to Ninth Level Tribulator cultivation level. They’ve already conspired to band together and take me down,” Lauden said with a grim expression!
“They want to kill you? Knowing that, why did you still come?” Jared was extremely curious. If he already knew, why did he still come to the polar regions?
With a bitter smile, Lauden said, “I had no choice but to come. If I hadn’t, Mr. Cervantes would have undoubtedly met his end. The three of them had administered a poisonous pill to Mr. Cervantes and coerced him into cooperating with them. If I hadn’t shown up, acting like I was clueless, they would have definitely made a move against Mr. Cervantes.”
“Did Mr. Cervantes tell you this?” Jared asked.
Lauden nodded. “He secretly informed me. I could sense it myself too, that Heinrik and his men harbored murderous intentions toward me. The reason they haven’t made their move yet is that they’re waiting to find the immortal’s tomb before they eliminate me.”
“They couldn’t possibly locate the immortal’s tomb,” Jared said nonchalantly.
“Why?” Lauden was taken aback!
“It’s because that place doesn’t exist. It was all a lie. The real resource of the polar region is polar stone, something that is of no use to other sects and prestigious families. Here, only Lunarius Palace and the Mueller family required the polar stones. Anyone else who came here was deceived into coming.” Jared revealed the true situation to Lauden!
“So that’s how it is. I’ve indeed heard of the Muller family, but this Lunarius Palace, I’ve never heard of it before!”
It was perfectly understandable that Lauden hadn’t heard of Lunarius Palace. After all, it had just begun to recover after its destruction. Being kilometers apart from the Five Great Sects, it was reasonable that he hadn’t heard of it!
“Lauden, what exactly do you want me to do to help you? Shall we join forces and take care of those three?” Jared asked!
Jared harbored a deep resentment toward the trio, Heinrik included. Therefore, when it came to eliminating them, Jared would not hesitate!
Lauden shook his head, “Not yet. We need to find the right opportunity. They have quite a few disciples under their wing. If we were to take action now, it would inevitably lead to a brutal conflict among them, which would be utterly tragic. I’m hoping to seize an opportunity to eliminate these three individuals without causing harm to my fellow disciples!”
Upon hearing Lauden’s words, Jared understood his intentions. Lauden did not wish to harm the disciples of the Five Great Sects!
After all, they were all from the place. As long as Heinrik’s group was taken out of the picture, the disciples naturally fell under the management of Lauden!
“All right, seize the opportunity before making a move. However, you can discreetly inform Mr. Cervantes that I can devise a way to rid him of his poison so he doesn’t need to worry,” Jared said to Lauden!
Lauden nodded in delight. If Keelan were cured of his poison, their side would become even more powerful. By then, Heinrik’s group wouldn’t be able to make any significant waves!
