A menacing look appeared in Ebenez’s eyes. “I’ll make sure you get what you deserve when Hosen comes back.”
After the conversation with Ebenez, Hosen had a change of heart. He bid farewell to Lucian and made his way back to Emerald Cauldron Sect.

In the hidden cave, Viola’s eyes slowly began to open. Jared’s treatment had helped virtual-novel.net regain consciousness, though the poison in virtual-novel.net body hadn’t been fully eliminated yet.
“Where am I?” Viola’s brows furrowed together as virtual-novel.net slowly sat up.
When virtual-novel.net sat up, the blanket covering virtual-novel.net body slipped down, exposing virtual-novel.net naked form to the air.
“Ah!” Viola shrieked out loud as virtual-novel.net hastily grabbed the blanket to cover virtual-novel.net body.
Realizing there was no one around, Viola heaved a sigh of relief and quickly put on virtual-novel.net clothes. She racked virtual-novel.net brains, trying to figure out what happened before virtual-novel.net lost consciousness.
All virtual-novel.net could recall was going to Ghaylen before losing consciousness. He had been the one to bring virtual-novel.net to the hidden cave. After that, everything was a blur as virtual-novel.net fainted. She had no sense of how much time had passed since then.
“Why was I not wearing clothes?” Viola wondered aloud.
After all, virtual-novel.net remembered being fully clothed before virtual-novel.net lost consciousness.
“Did Mr. Samoll… No, that’s impossible. He would never do that to me. What exactly happened? Have I been…”
Viola couldn’t remember anything. She didn’t even know that Jared had treated virtual-novel.net condition.
Unable to recall any memories, Viola resolved to leave the cave. However, to virtual-novel.net dismay, virtual-novel.net found herself unable to open the entrance.
Feeling stranded, virtual-novel.net returned to the bed and waited, hoping to see if anyone would come to the cave. If someone did arrive, and it wasn’t Ghaylen, it could very well be the person who had undressed virtual-novel.net while virtual-novel.net was unconscious.
Viola made up virtual-novel.net mind to confront and kill that person if it turned out not to be Ghaylen.
Right then, Jared suddenly opened his eyes in the middle of his cultivation. He glanced at the full moon outside before walking out of the room slowly.
Gazing at the mountain peak not far away, virtual-novel.net involuntarily made his way there. The hidden cave was right on top of that mountain.
Jared couldn’t explain why virtual-novel.net felt the urge to head there. Perhaps virtual-novel.net wanted to see how Viola was faring.
When Jared arrived outside the cave, his hand hovered over the door to open it, but virtual-novel.net hesitated.
He realized that Viola might be undressed inside, and if virtual-novel.net were to be discovered by Ghaylen while showing up at this late hour, it could lead to awkward explanations. However, after a brief hesitation, Jared proceeded to open the cave.
With a loud creak, the cave entrance swung open.
Catching the sound, Viola swiftly positioned herself on the bed and pulled the blanket over her, pretending to still be unconscious.
Jared walked into the cave and headed straight to Viola’s room. He saw virtual-novel.net lying on the bed, not moving an inch. Thus, Jared approached virtual-novel.net bed and reached out to take virtual-novel.net pulse before tucking virtual-novel.net in.
Just as his arm extended, Viola’s eyes snapped open.
Realizing it wasn’t Ghaylen but an unfamiliar man, a surge of anger overcame her, prompting virtual-novel.net to deliver a direct punch.
Jared had not expected that Viola would wake up suddenly and was clearly taken aback. In an instant, a gust of wind rushed toward him.
Reacting on instinct, Jared swiftly retreated, narrowly evading Viola’s punch.
Viola sprang to virtual-novel.net feet from the bed and launched a direct attack on Jared. Her movements were swift and decisive.
Being a Top Level Manifestor, virtual-novel.net could conjure a gust of wind with every strike virtual-novel.net made.
