Chapter 828 A Treat
Colin declared, “I won’t lose interest! I will win Renee over!” With that, he led the others in pursuit of Jared’s group.
They had barely taken two steps when Colin turned around to address Kenneth and Kristoff, “Both of you aren’t allowed to mess around with Renee’s friends, got it? If you want to enjoy the company of women, I’ll send you a truckload after we’re back.”
Kenneth snorted and replied, “Cut it out! I never said I was going to play around with any woman. That’s all in your imagination.”
He did not alight from the boat to pursue women in the first place.
Kristoff, on the other hand, had been interested in hitting on the pretty Josephine.
Colin’s point-blank warning had him smiling and saying dramatically, “All right. I will sacrifice myself for your happiness!”
“Kenneth, Kristoff, I’ll treat both of you to drinks after this!” Colin announced before setting off in hasty pursuit.
Kenneth and Kristoff exchanged a tense glance before following Colin.
Meanwhile, Jared had led Josephine and the others deeper into the island. After checking that no one was following them, he took out his map and checked it. He confirmed their bearings and continued walking.
There was little trace of human activity on the island. Thick snow made it difficult to see into the distance. Additionally, the island was shrouded in dense spiritual energy.
Josephine took a deep breath with her eyes closed. She sighed, “The air on this island is amazing.”
Jared smiled at the sight of Josephine’s expression and commented, “Don’t breathe with your nose. Try to use your body to absorb the surrounding air.”
Josephine could sense the spiritual energy on the island thanks to the detoxification pill she had consumed earlier; this was how she perceived the exceptional freshness of the air in regions with high levels of spiritual energy.
“You don’t need to lecture us on that. Mr. Deragon taught us that trick a long time ago,” Lizbeth teased.
Josephine and Lizbeth had both eaten detoxification pills. Their bodies had undergone changes that allowed them to detect the presence of spiritual energy. They also studied cultivation methods and learned to absorb spiritual energy into their bodies, officially embarking on the path toward spiritual energy cultivation.
“That’s great. The spiritual energy here is strong, and we can take the opportunity to strengthen ourselves,” Jared said.
The pores on his body expanded and began absorbing the spiritual energy around him as though they were starved.
Jared was now in the Fourth Tier of the Transcendence Phase. Defeating a Second Level Martial Arts Grandmaster was peanuts for him. Armed with his magecraft, Jared could give a Level Three Martial Arts Grandmaster a run for his money.
I wonder when I’ll achieve Core Formation Phase. Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster at his peak would hardly frighten me then!
Jared had never longed for power and strength more than he did at that moment.
He knew that being invincible was the only way to save his mother and make the Deragons pay for their crimes. His heart ached when he thought of the torment his mother had experienced for over twenty years.
Just then, Colin and his men caught up to Jared’s group. Colin rasped, “Wait for me, Renee. Wait for me.”
Though Colin’s abilities were equivalent to that of a Grandmaster, his pampered upbringing had not prepared him for the biting cold on the island.
Jared frowned slightly at the sight of Colin’s men. It’ll be difficult to execute our plans if there are people following us around!
Josephine teased, “Renee, does he actually like you?”
Renee looked displeased with Colin’s pursuit. She knew why they were on Dragon Island, and their group needed to act alone, or they would only invite trouble.
Colin neared their group and grinned. He uttered, “Renee, you ran away so quickly. It was so hard to catch up to you.”
