Chapter 860 Hide
Just when Rayleigh was about to say something or other, a knock sounded on the room door.
Both Rayleigh and Melanie’s expressions changed slightly. Who could it be at this time of the night?
Rayleigh motioned for Melanie to open the door while he got ready to attack.
The moment Melanie opened the door, she unexpectedly saw that it was Jared and the others who had returned.
“Why are you all back?” she exclaimed in astonishment.
When Rayleigh saw that Jared had come back, he likewise queried with a frown, “Did something happen that you all
returned so quickly?”
In response, Jared shook his head. “Mr. Deragon, I’ve procured the draconic essence.”
Upon hearing that, Rayleigh promptly shrouded him with a layer of spiritual sense. Sure enough, he sensed the
change in the man. With excitement written all over his face, he exclaimed, “It’s great that you managed to secure
the draconic essence so quickly! How about the Flame Dragon’s draconic essence?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt the mention of the Flame Dragon, Jared was reminded of Renee, who had turned into an ice block. In an instant,
his mood took a nosedive.
“Mr. Deragon, I don’t want to sacrifice the lives of those around me for the sake of acquiring draconic essences,”
he asserted with a solemn expression.
When Rayleigh heard that, he swept his gaze around, but he saw no sign of Renee. Realization swiftly dawned upon
him, and his eyes turned red-rimmed. “This is destiny, Jared. Don’t be overly devastated. I hope you won’t let the
draconic essence Renee exchanged with her life go to waste.”
“Mr. Deragon, is Renee to be frozen on Dragon Island forever? Do even you not have a way of saving her?”
Josephine inquired from the side just then.
After all, Rayleigh was no different from an immortal in her eyes, with nothing beyond his capabilities.
Regretfully, Rayleigh shook his head. “No, I don’t. However, there’s no end to spiritual energy cultivation. Perhaps
you’ll be able to find a way to save her when your cultivation surpasses mine.”
“I’ll definitely save her!”
Jared’s eyes brimmed with resolve. If I can’t even protect those around me, what’s the use of spiritual energy
cultivation to immortality?
“How did you all come back? Isn’t the duration three days this time?” Rayleigh questioned in perplexity.
There was only one ship belonging to the Deragons, so Jared and his entourage had to take that ship if they wanted
to return.
Jared proceeded to tell him everything that happened on the island, only concealing the fact that Shadow Estate
was also one of the regiments of the Dragon Sect.
After hearing it all, Rayleigh frowned slightly, and his expression turned exceedingly somber.
“I’m afraid that it won’t be long before the fact that you swallowed the draconic essence becomes common
knowledge. Besides, this matter can’t possibly remain a secret from the Deragon family. You’ve got to be even
more careful and on guard in the future. Right now, it’s imperative that you leave Southernshire immediately. Find
an isolated place to hide and use the draconic essence to cultivate and boost your capabilities. I’ll take care of
Josephine and Lizbeth for you. Also, I’ll teach them how to cultivate. Considering their current capabilities, they’ll

death. Now that you’ve swallowed the draconic essence, you’ve already become the public enemy, and many will
want to kill you,” he exhorted solemnly.
He hadn’t expected so many people to witness Jared obtaining the draconic essence, much less discover the
location of the Ice Dragon.
Ugh! How despicable of the Deragon family! If they hadn’t opened the Dragon Island to the public all of a sudden,
there wouldn’t have been such a crowd on the island. Then, Jared would’ve had an opportunity to sneak onto the
island and procure the draconic essence before leaving without alerting anyone to his presence. Now that the
matter of him having swallowed the draconic essence has come to light, his days will probably be increasingly
difficult henceforth.
Jared had never thought that the matter would be so serious, but after listening to Rayleigh, he knew that many
people would likely seek him out and pick trouble with him from here on out.
After bidding the few of them farewell, he left overnight.
Following his departure, Rayleigh didn’t tarry either. He left with Josephine and the others, bringing along the white
wolf, all disappearing from Southernshire together. No one knew where they went.
