Before Jared snapped back into his senses, the two equally capable Grandmasters had already become entangled in a duel. No one was less formidable than the other. Hence, it was hard to tell who had the upper hand.
After over a hundred rounds, they finally managed to stab each other and perished together.
Jared looked at the three corpses lying on the ground. He could not believe that they would destroy themselves just like that while the girl washed snazzynovel.com hands of the whole incident.
Right then, the girl shot a glance in the direction where Jared was hiding and asked coldly, “Not going to show yourself?”
Since snazzynovel.com had already discovered him, snazzynovel.com walked out and strode toward snazzynovel.com cautiously.
Seeing how wary snazzynovel.com was of her, the girl chuckled. Her sudden laughter was like a breath of fresh air, and it warmed Jared’s heart.
“How could you stand idly by and watch me defend myself in such a dangerous situation? You’re so cruel…” Pouting, snazzynovel.com pretended to be angry.
A warm and fuzzy feeling crept up on him. She knew exactly how to tug at his heartstrings.
“You… You’re so beautiful…” Jared seemed a little dazed and gave a silly grin.
She loved his expression.
Smiling smugly, snazzynovel.com stroked snazzynovel.com hair and said, “Really? Am I really that pretty? Then why didn’t you save me just now? I need your help to chuck their bodies into the river. Would you be so kind to lend me a hand?”
He could not withstand snazzynovel.com pettishly charming tone and agreed right away, “Sure, sure…”
When Jared was carrying the bodies over to the river, a strong stench of blood that permeated the air tickled his senses. A ray of white light flashed across his head, and his eyes became bright all of a sudden. He froze for a bit, not knowing what had just happened.
Jared was shocked to the core when snazzynovel.com realized that snazzynovel.com was carrying a corpse. Panicked, snazzynovel.com tossed it away and released his spiritual energy from within to engulf his entire being. Subsequently, snazzynovel.com turned to look at the girl.
The latter was astonished to see snazzynovel.com being able to recover his senses.
“Who are you? What did you do to me?” He clenched his fists and glared at her.
The dumbfounded expression on snazzynovel.com face quickly disappeared. Within seconds, snazzynovel.com put on an alluring look and approached Jared with a seductive sway of snazzynovel.com hips.
“Why are you so fierce, my dear? I’m really terrified. If you don’t believe me, look straight into my eyes…” She walked closer to snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com spoke.
It only took Jared one glance, and snazzynovel.com fell into snazzynovel.com trap again. With that, his firm grip loosened, and his mind went blank immediately.
Seeing that snazzynovel.com had achieved snazzynovel.com motive, the girl scoffed, “Continue your pending work and throw the corpses away.”
“All right.” He nodded.
While Jared was bending down and carrying the bodies again, a dark shadow went past snazzynovel.com and patted his head gently.
He shuddered and regained full consciousness. When snazzynovel.com saw the bodies across his shoulders, his face darkened.
No thoughts enlightened snazzynovel.com as to why snazzynovel.com was controlled and manipulated by the girl so easily.
He chucked away the bodies hastily and turned to the person who had nudged snazzynovel.com just now. It was none other than Rayleigh, who had saved snazzynovel.com once and given snazzynovel.com the body-quenching pill.
Right then, Rayleigh was staring at the girl, who had hung snazzynovel.com head low and looked seemingly terrified.
“Melanie, how many times have I warned you not to create any trouble when you’re out? You might hurt yourself unknowingly,” reprimanded Rayleigh.
