Chapter 502 You Do Not Understand
If he could reach the Transcendence Phase before going to Nameless Island, Jared would be filled with confidence. After all, Draco instructed him to reach the Foundation Phase before the fifteenth of July, which was when he had to go to Nameless Island. Draco might not even have expected Jared’s cultivation to progress so rapidly.
“Jared, why do you want these useless stones instead of gemstones?” asked Tessa confusedly as she walked to the yard of Jared’s mansion.
“You don’t understand. These might be useless stones to you, but they’re magical items to me!” explained Jared with a smile.
“I can’t understand you!” Tessa rolled her eyes before saying, “My dad told me to inform you that these are all the stones we have for now. We don’t know if there are any underground, but we’ve already transported the equipment there. The stones are all ready to be mined! If there are more below, my dad will instruct his men to keep transporting them to you.”
“Okay, I get it. I’m going to train for these few days, so you’d better not disturb me!” Jared reminded Tessa.
“Okay.” Looking slightly disappointed, Tessa spun around and left.
Jared knew what Jayden was trying to do. Whenever Jayden asked Tessa to relay the messages and send food to him, it was obviously an attempt to make sparks fly between him and Tessa! However, since Jared already had Josephine, he would never betray her.
After Tessa went back, Jared sat cross-legged. Looking at the pile of spiritual stones in front of him, he felt the waves of spiritual energy wash over him. With that, he started cultivating.
Jared devoured the spiritual energy enthusiastically as if he was starving. All of the pores on his body expanded as they absorbed the spiritual energy. Meanwhile, within his elixir field, the Focus Technique had just reached its peak, constantly cultivating the spiritual energy that had just been absorbed.
One day, two days, and three days passed…
The pile of spiritual stones was diminishing quickly. With his eyes closed, Jared was detached from the outside world. He even forgot about the time!
Just when Jared was cultivating, Josephine was stuck in the mansion in Summerbank, feeling extremely bored.
Tommy and Phoenix had dispatched a lot of security guards around the mansion to protect Josephine. Even Tristan had come to Summerbank personally. Since Jared had instructed him before the former left, Tristan would never dare to be careless.
Luckily, Josephine had Lizbeth keeping her company every day. That was why she had not been bored to death yet.
“Jared has already been away for a few days. He hasn’t come back and didn’t even send a single message. When we called him, no one answered. Did something happen to him?”
Josephine frowned, feeling worried for Jared.
“Don’t worry. Jared’s so capable that nothing bad can possibly happen to him. As long as there are no women pestering him, everything’s fine. After all, he’s very popular with the girls,” teased Lizbeth.
“Do you like him too?” asked Josephine, glancing at Lizbeth.
“What… What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t like him!”
Although that was what Lizbeth said, her cheeks turned red.
“Haha! How can you still claim that you don’t like him! You are already blushing. If you like him, I’ll give him to you,” joked Josephine as she burst out laughing.
When Lizbeth heard Josephine, her expression turned cold. “Josephine, please don’t make such a joke anymore. You should learn how to appreciate a boyfriend like Jared. Actually, every girl would admire such a talented person like him. I want to find a boyfriend similar to him too, but it’s a pity that I’m not as lucky as you. Hence, you should treasure what you have now and stop speaking nonsense!”
The smile on Josephine’s face disappeared too. She grabbed Lizbeth’s hand and reassured her, “Don’t worry, Lizbeth. I believe that you’ll definitely find a boyfriend you like too. Perhaps, he’ll be even better than Jared!”
Lizbeth laughed. “You don’t have to console me. My heart has already been broken.”
As Lizbeth spoke, she glanced out of the window. Her heart had already been utterly broken by Franco.
