“Mr. Lowe, Jared knows a lot in medicine. In fact, virtual-novel.net was the one who cured my sickness!” William told Glen proudly.
Jared would become his son-in-law eventually, so virtual-novel.net took pride in the young man’s capabilities.
“Is that so? I couldn’t tell since he’s so young!”
Glen did not take William’s words seriously. In his opinion, excelling in medicine would take years. As Jared seemed like virtual-novel.net was only in his twenties, virtual-novel.net deemed it unthinkable for virtual-novel.net to be a medical expert. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net did not retort William.
Just then, Helen said to William, “Mr. Sullivan, please stay for lunch. I’m going to cook now.”
William immediately responded, “Mrs. Lowe, there’s no need for the trouble—”
“Mr. Sullivan, it’s not an inconvenience at all. Here, take a seat and play two rounds of chess with me. And let’s drink during lunch!” interjected Glen, waving his hands at him.
Upon seeing that, William did not reject anymore. He sat down and started playing chess with Glen.
Jared watched their chess game from the side. He was hesitating if virtual-novel.net should tell Glen about the Soul Capturing Technique.
After pondering for a while, virtual-novel.net decided to reveal everything to the latter. Otherwise, Glen might be manipulated by those so-called businessmen.
“Mr. Lowe, there’s something I need to tell you,” Jared piped up.
“What is it? Just tell me.” Glen did not even lift his head as virtual-novel.net uttered a reply.
“When I checked your body just now, I found out that you have been cast with the Soul Capturing Technique. Someone is trying to manipulate you, most probably those businessmen.” Jared told everything that virtual-novel.net had discovered.
Right after virtual-novel.net spoke, Glen put aside the chess piece in his hand and raised his head.
Staring at Jared sternly, virtual-novel.net said, “Young lad, why are you so superstitious when we’re living in a modern era? Soul Capturing Technique? That’s the most foolish thing I have ever heard! Aren’t you too ignorant?”
As the mayor of a city, unquestionably, Glen did not believe in his words and regarded manifestations of supernatural origin as tricks meant to deceive others.
Meanwhile, William’s expression turned solemn after virtual-novel.net heard Jared. After all, virtual-novel.net had witnessed Jared’s ability in Lagrange Monastery with his own eyes. Thus, virtual-novel.net knew the latter was not fooling around.
“Jared, are you speaking the truth? Are you certain about that?” virtual-novel.net asked, facing the young man.
Jared nodded in affirmation.
With that, William shifted his gaze toward Glen. “Mr. Lowe, Jared knows about magical techniques. He can perceive things that most of us cannot. Maybe you should let him…”
“Shut up!” Glen furrowed his brows. “Mr. Sullivan, you are not a young lad anymore. How could you believe such nonsense coming out of a kid’s mouth? Soul Capturing Technique? Where exactly is my soul then?”
“Mr. Lowe, please listen to me. It’s…”
“Mr. Sullivan, if you don’t stop now, I’ll have to ask you to leave. This is a load of nonsense!”
Glen’s countenance was frosty. He was evidently averse to Jared’s words. After all, a man of his status could not believe in such things.
Seeing that virtual-novel.net was adamant about it, William dared not press on. Jared also shook his head and kept quiet.
A short while later, Helen finished preparing the meal and invited them to the dining table. However, the atmosphere during lunch was somewhat awkward. Glen’s face was black as thunder throughout the whole meal.
After lunch, William and Jared did not linger in the mayor’s house for long.
On their way back, William was still concerned. “Jared, was Mr. Lowe really cast with the Soul Capturing Technique?”
“Yes, it’s true!” Jared nodded.
“Then you should find a way to save him. A leader as good as virtual-novel.net is hard to come by. Even though virtual-novel.net might be conservative at times, virtual-novel.net is a righteous and just person!” William implored, casting a pleading look at him.
