Chapter 389 They Are All Fake
“I won’t.” Jared shook his head.
Soon, Luke left too. Staring at Luke’s diminishing figure, Jared felt the former was somehow mysterious and cunning. However, he did not see Luke as a bad person. After all, Luke had been helping him all along.
“Jared, please keep in mind what I said earlier. You should watch your back. If Derek knows about this, he won’t let you off easily,” Anthony uttered helplessly.
“I’m sure there are plenty of ways to solve the issue. There is no need to worry.” Jared smiled faintly.
Hearing that, Anthony did not know what to reply to him. He, too, soon left with his men.
When everything was settled, Jared did not take Phoenix and Tommy home. Instead, they headed directly to the Jantz family’s residence. Now that Zachariah was dead, everything in the Jantz family would belong to Jared. No one would fight over them with him.
Tommy was driving while Jared sat in the passenger’s seat. Josephine and Lizbeth were seated behind them. Meanwhile, a few cars followed behind. They were Phoenix and her men from Phoenix Regiment.
“Jared, why did you eat those… dirty things? What’s going on?”
On the way, Josephine could no longer keep the questions to herself.
Goosebumps rose all over her body as she recalled how Jared had sucked in those ghosts earlier. That scene made her feel like vomiting.
“What did he eat?” Lizbeth was curious.
Josephine did not know how to explain it. She kept staring at Jared, hoping he would give an explanation.
It was only then that Jared realized Josephine was at the scene when he consumed those ghosts. D*mn it! She must have been disgusted and even frightened after seeing that.
“They were not dirty things. It was just an illusion used by the mage. Do you really believe there are ghosts in this world?”
Jared feigned ignorance and explained, “I mean, look here. There’s nothing in my hands, right? But I can conjure up those illusions right away!”
Upon saying that, a white mist appeared on his palm and instantly transformed into a scary-looking ghost. Josephine and Lizbeth paled in fright.
Jared then opened his mouth and sucked the ghost right into his mouth. In truth, the illusion was made by him using his spiritual energy. However, the ghosts that Venicus released previously were all real.
“There. See that? It’s all fake. Here, let me conjure a dagger now.”
Jared continued to explain as he created a dagger in his hand. Again, he took a deep breath and sucked the dagger into his mouth. “All these are made of martial energy. You won’t be able to tell because you’re not a martial artist.”
“I got it!” Lizbeth seemed to understand as she turned to explain to Josephine. “Josephine, you are not a martial artist, so you don’t know this stuff. An Internal Energy Grandmaster can transform energy into forms. Thus, they can create all kinds of objects. But they are all fake!”
After hearing what Lizbeth said, Josephine started to believe it. “I see. So they were all fake!”
Jared secretly let out a sigh of relief. Luckily she bought it. Or else I wouldn’t know how to explain it. It looks like I will have to be more careful in the future. I can’t let her see such things.
Tommy, who was driving, smiled secretly. If Jared failed to make her believe it, I’m afraid Josephine might refuse to get intimate with him in the future.
“What’s so funny? Just keep your eyes on the road…”
Jared shot Tommy a look.
Soon, they arrived at the Jantz family’s mansion. At the moment, the whole place was deserted. It seemed that the remaining members of the Jantz family had fled after knowing about Zachariah’s death.
