Chapter 649 Not Soundproof
Raul glanced at Jared. “You didn’t cross me, but you’ve crossed someone else you shouldn’t. That person has asked you to scram, get it?”
“I see.” Jared nodded. It seemed that his guess was right.
He walked past Raul and the others toward the inn.
When Raul realized that Jared had just ignored them, he quickly turned to walk into the building, wanting to stop Jared.
However, just as Raul stretched out his arm, Tommy made his move. He grabbed Raul’s arm and broke it easily.
Raul screamed as the intense pain traveled up his arm.
However, it was as if Jared did not hear him at all; he continued walking into the building. At the same time, Phoenix smiled. “Tommy, I’ll leave these people to you. I’m going to bed now.”
“Hey, don’t. Give me half a minute. Let’s sleep together.”
Tommy panicked when he realized Phoenix was leaving as well.
Tommy and Phoenix had long been sleeping with each other. They were already of that age, so sleeping together was nothing out of the norm.
Phoenix did not reply to that as she continued into the inn with a smile on her face. Meanwhile, Tommy turned even more anxious. He swung his hands, and immediately a gust of wind rushed toward the men Raul had brought with him. In seconds, they were blown to the ground, unable to rise again.
Tommy then hurried after Phoenix. When Arturo saw what had just happened, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he fell to the ground.
Returning to his room, Jared stood by the windowsill and stared at the green scenery outside. He did not know how many more precious herbs would be in the forest. Jared did not have the time, or else he would have taken a trip around Black Blind Forest. After all, only a remote forest like that would have aged herbs.
After a while of staring, Jared lay on the bed and was about to sleep when Tommy’s and Phoenix’s voices came from the next room. An exasperated look crept onto Jared’s face, and he sat back up. The soundproofing of this inn is horrible.
Instead of sleeping, he began sensing the spiritual energy around him. The spiritual energy here was much stronger than that in Horington. Although spiritual energy barely affected someone of Jared’s level, since he was unable to sleep, he decided he might as well work on his cultivation.
He cultivated the entire night, but there were barely any changes to the spiritual energy in his elixir field. Evidently, the spiritual energy in the air was no longer of much use to him.
Right then, Tommy knocked on his door and asked him to go for breakfast with him. After that, they were going to go to the Riders and have Zyaire bring them to the Sabines to discuss the matter regarding the decamillennium ginseng.
When Jared opened the door, Tommy beamed at him and said, “Mr. Chance, how was the room?”
“Not bad, but the soundproofing needs a little more work…” Jared said with a half-smile.
Hearing that, Tommy froze. Beside him, Phoenix turned bright red and immediately rushed downstairs.
Realizing what Jared had meant, Tommy chuckled awkwardly.
The three of them then went downstairs for breakfast. To their surprise, Zyaire had sent Arturo to pick them up earlier than expected.
Arturo turned ashen at the sight of Jared and the other two. He did not dare to look them in the eye, especially Tommy. When Arturo was close to Tommy, he began shaking, for he was dumbstruck by what had happened the night before.
“Hey, I’m not a monster who’s about to gobble you up. Do you have to be so scared?” Tommy asked, amused by Arturo’s reaction.
Arturo did not have the courage to reply to him. He kept his eyes forward the entire drive to the Rider residence.
As Jared and company reached the Rider residence, they saw Zyaire and Eduardo outside. Eduardo was on his knees with his hands tied behind his back.
