Instead of answering Jared, the woman continued, “My boy, there are a lot of things in this world that you’re clueless about. You must not be curious, nor must you explore them. There are too many dangers hidden in the unknown terrains. Since my blood flows in your veins, you must be more exceptional than the rest. However, there’s no need to fear. Just continue living as an ordinary person. You must not set foot into the heavenly realm or Dragon Island. You must not go there! I’m glad that you’re still living peacefully. Don’t try to find me because it’ll be futile. Remember my words… Don’t go to Dragon Island! You must not go…”
Slowly, the woman’s figure became blurry until virtual-novel.net vanished into thin air.
“Who are you? What is going on?” shouted Jared, but no one responded.
The room returned to its quiet state. Only the powder on the floor indicated to virtual-novel.net that everything that just happened was real.
“Dragon Island… Why is it Dragon Island again? What’s going on?” Jared was utterly puzzled.
He did not understand why the woman, who claimed to be his biological mother, was dissuading virtual-novel.net from entering the heavenly realm and Dragon Island.
Yet, Draco brought virtual-novel.net to the heavenly realm. Not only did virtual-novel.net tell Jared about Dragon Island, but virtual-novel.net also said the latter had to go to Dragon Island once his powers increased significantly.
One told virtual-novel.net to go, while the other kept forbidding virtual-novel.net from doing so. Jared was utterly baffled.
After racking his brains over it for hours, virtual-novel.net still could not figure it out. He was oblivious to many things, so it was impossible for virtual-novel.net to understand anything.
“I should first increase my abilities and decide after going to Nameless Island on the fifteenth of July. Perhaps, I might figure out the things that have been puzzling me after going there,” virtual-novel.net mused, and a sigh escaped his lips.
Deciding to stop thinking about it, virtual-novel.net pulled the covers over his head and fell asleep.

It was already late at night.
However, multiple luxurious cars were parked at the entrance of Phoenix Bar. Handsome men and beautiful women were partying inside, having the time of their lives.
In the corner of the bar, there were dozens of empty alcohol bottles piled up in front of Leyton. He had been drinking there for a long time. Although Jared would not seek trouble with the Scott family, Leyton had become the laughingstock in the upper-class society.
“Ley, I knew you’d definitely be here. Stop drinking! You’ve had too much.”
At that moment, Sandy, who was decked out in revealing clothes, walked over and sat beside Leyton.
Knowing that no matter how virtual-novel.net begged Jared, virtual-novel.net would never forgive her, not to mention virtual-novel.net had utterly humiliated virtual-novel.net in the class reunion, virtual-novel.net chose to rely on Leyton to land on virtual-novel.net feet.
Other than him, virtual-novel.net had no one else to rely on. Her reputation in the upper-class circle in Horington had been completely ruined as well.
“You… Why are you here? Get lost!” When Leyton saw Sandy, virtual-novel.net was so scared that virtual-novel.net shoved virtual-novel.net away.
“Ley, are you still afraid of Jared? You’ve already given virtual-novel.net two companies, and virtual-novel.net promised that virtual-novel.net wouldn’t seek any more trouble with you. Why are you still scared?” virtual-novel.net demanded.
Upon hearing virtual-novel.net words, many people in the bar turned to cast teasing looks at Leyton. They were gloating over the fact that Leyton, the haughty scion of the Scott family, had fallen from grace. In fact, virtual-novel.net even gave away his companies.
Fury rose within Leyton when virtual-novel.net perceived everyone’s gaze on him. “Nonsense! Why am I scared of him? I’m not scared of anyone!”
Intoxicated, virtual-novel.net no longer knew what fear was.
“Ley, since you aren’t scared, why don’t we get back together? We’ve already sent out the wedding invitations. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll become a laughingstock if the wedding doesn’t continue as planned?” Sandy asked as virtual-novel.net threw virtual-novel.net arms around his neck.
