When that wisp of aura entered Effie’s body, virtual-novel.net was stunned briefly. On the heels of that, virtual-novel.net eyes started glowing red.
“Don’t listen to this kid’s nonsense, Mr. Jablonski. I’ve already been fooled several times. It’s best that you incapacitate him.” Hyrum urged Atlas to destroy Jared’s cultivation.
None of them noticed the change in Effie at the side. Atlas alternated his gaze between Hyrum and Jared. In the end, virtual-novel.net still chose to believe the former. Thus, virtual-novel.net shot his hand out at the latter.
However, Jared remained standing there motionlessly. In fact, not a hint of fear showed in his eyes.
While Atlas was bewildered and wondered why the man was not afraid, a sudden roar split the air behind him.
Effie, who was perfectly fine earlier, was presently no different from a lunatic. With virtual-novel.net eyes almost popping out of their sockets, virtual-novel.net lunged at Hyrum.
The distance between them was the shortest, so virtual-novel.net attacked the man first. The abrupt attack caught Hyrum off guard for a moment. He instinctively shot his hand out and sent virtual-novel.net flying. But right after doing so, virtual-novel.net instantly froze on the spot, for the blow had leaked his aura in a heartbeat.
Atlas was momentarily taken aback. Subsequently, virtual-novel.net gaped at Hyrum in disbelief. “You’re really a Demonic Cultivator?!”
Without bothering to say anything, Hyrum spun around and leaped into the air, swiftly beating a hasty retreat. Since his identity had come to light, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to flee quickly.
Atlas’ face contorted into a mask of fury, and virtual-novel.net reflexively wanted to give chase. But after glancing at Effie, who had fallen to the ground, virtual-novel.net was gripped by the urge to go over and check on her.
“Leave Ms. Jablonski to me, Mr. Jablonski. I’m definitely capable of curing her. Hurry up and give chase. Don’t let that Demonic Cultivator escape,” Jared said to Atlas.
Atlas took a long look at the man. Ultimately, virtual-novel.net whirled around and gave chase. No sooner than virtual-novel.net had done so than Jared locked the room door.
Like a wild beast, Effie launched herself at Jared. The girl who had been graceful and delicate a moment ago had turned into a beast presently, looking exceedingly terrifying.
As Jared regarded virtual-novel.net in virtual-novel.net manic state, virtual-novel.net frowned slightly. Although virtual-novel.net had lost all reason and virtual-novel.net capabilities had weakened significantly, virtual-novel.net still could not go all out since virtual-novel.net could not hurt her. Right then, virtual-novel.net had to first restrain virtual-novel.net before using silver needles to force the poison out.
In Effie’s current condition, virtual-novel.net had no way of treating her. With a wave of his hand, virtual-novel.net set up an arcane array around the room. Then, virtual-novel.net engaged in battle with her.
In no time, crashes rang out in the room. If it weren’t for Jared setting up an arcane array beforehand, the room would have been in ruins ages ago.
Effie attacked Jared madly while the latter used his skills to parry as virtual-novel.net dodged.
Gradually, Effie’s frantic attacks drained virtual-novel.net of energy. Sweat dotted virtual-novel.net forehead. However, virtual-novel.net sweat turned out to be black in color, and it stained virtual-novel.net entire face.
As Jared stared at virtual-novel.net in bafflement, virtual-novel.net suddenly stopped attacking.
The crimson in virtual-novel.net eyes slowly faded, and virtual-novel.net regained virtual-novel.net sanity once again. Effie swept virtual-novel.net gaze over the messy room before pinning virtual-novel.net eyes on Jared.
With perplexity written all over virtual-novel.net face, virtual-novel.net promptly asked, “What happened here? And where’s my father? Why did I have a manic episode again? Weren’t I already cured?”
Panic swamped her, for virtual-novel.net could not figure out what exactly happened.
“Calm down first, Ms. Jablonski. It wasn’t a manic episode. You’ve been poisoned. I have a few questions for you now. You need to give truthful answers for me to help you,” Jared uttered cautiously upon seeing that virtual-novel.net had regained virtual-novel.net sanity.
Effie eyed the man. Realizing virtual-novel.net harbored no hostility toward her, virtual-novel.net nodded and replied, “Okay. Go ahead.”
