Chapter 1089Chapter 1089 An Old Structure
“You misunderstood, Mr. Chance. I actually didn’t poison either of you. Your girlfriend is only
unconscious because she’s under a spell. If I break the spell, your girlfriend will naturally regain
consciousness,” Karl hurriedly clarified.
Upon hearing that, Jared finally understood why he couldn’t ascertain the kind of poison in Lizbeth’s
body. Even Axton and the others couldn’t do anything about it.
It turned out that it wasn’t poison at all. Instead, she was unconscious because she was under a spell.
“In that case, hurry up and break the spell!” Jared urged.
“Where’s your girlfriend, Mr. Chance? I need to see her to break the spell,” Karl replied.
“She’s at the Gardner family’s five-star hotel. Come with me. If she remains unconscious after you
break the spell, I’ll make it so that the Gardner family vanishes from the entire northwest!” Jared
warned, regarding Karl frostily.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Chance. I can guarantee you that your girlfriend will regain consciousness!” Karl
hastily promised.
He then rushed to the hotel with Jared. Before leaving, he threw Joshua a look.
When Jared and Karl arrived at the hotel, Karl didn’t follow Jared to break Lizbeth’s spell. Instead, he
sat down in the hotel lobby and sipped coffee. The humility on his face was all but gone, replaced by a
trace of smugness.
Jared’s brows creased slightly. “What is the meaning of this, Karl?”With triumph on his face, Karl answered, “Nothing much. Fine by me if you want me to break your
girlfriend’s spell, but you’ve got to hand me everything you’ve got. You also have to give me the
draconic essence within you. Then, I’ll consider helping you.”
Jared was momentarily startled before he narrowed his eyes a fraction. Murderous intent emanated
from him. “You’re courting death, Karl!”
As he said that, he stalked toward Karl in huge strides.
“You can decide that after watching a video.”
After saying that, Karl picked up a remote control and turned on the screen in the lobby.
In the blink of an eye, Lizbeth appeared on the screen. She was restrained by two men, and she had
already regained consciousness by then, no longer in a coma.
Panic showed in her eyes, and she kept demanding to know the identity of the two men restraining her.
After Jared watched the scene on the screen, the murderous intent within him promptly came to a
head. He glared at Karl with scarlet eyes.
“You don’t need to look at me with such a gaze. If you don’t want your girlfriend to die, yield without
putting up a fight!”
Karl wasn’t at all intimidated by Jared’s fury.
Jared’s wrath gradually dissipated. In the end, he calmed down.
“I can give you everything you want, but I want to see my girlfriend first,” he intoned calmly.
“Sure! Follow me.”Turning off the video, Karl brought Jared back to the manor.
After entering the manor, he led Jared to the back. The manor spanned upwards of over sixty hectares,
stretching beyond the eye.
The two of them walked all the way to an old mansion before stopping.
novelbinIt was ten stories high. Judging from the structure and wall, it was probably a few decades old.
Jared couldn’t fathom why Karl would retain such an old structure in his manor.
Standing in front of the door, Karl muttered some incantation or other. The heavy iron door before them
slowly opened.
It wasn’t until Jared followed him in that he discovered something special in the old mansion.
There were gold-plated ornaments everywhere, not to mention gilded statues.
At a single glance, it was exceedingly resplendent.
After they both walked in, the heavy iron door behind them slammed shut. On the heels of that, a
mysterious and quaint aura penetrated Jared’s body and sealed his elixir field.
