After leaving Deity Lab, Nedley immediately placed a call to Triple Group’s headquarters.
“I’m afraid things aren’t going our way. Jared’s a smart guy, and he knows we need him. I can tell he already has
other plans,” Nedley said nervously.
“I hope you can come up with a proposal. If this weapon falls into the hands of others, especially Erudia’s, it’s going
to spell disaster for us!”
Sensing the urgency in Nedley’s tone, the voice on the other end replied, “Okay, we’ll call for a meeting
immediately!”
Back at the Deity Lab, Jared’s assistant was equally curious about what he had in mind.
“Mr. Schmidt, I see you haven’t agreed to their proposal. Does that mean you have other plans?”
Jared had a twinkle in his eye as he sneered, “Of course. I know better than anyone just how highly valued I am
now. That’s why I’m not going to limit myself to only Triple Group!”
His assistant nodded in excitement before chiming in, “That’s right! If news of our weapon gets out into the public,
the whole world would be in an uproar! When that time comes, you’re going to be the man that everyone wants to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwork with!”
“Exactly! The sky’s the limit when it comes to my options. I’ll work with the party who can offer me the best
benefits. But more than anything else, I wish to work with Erudia!”
A look of eager anticipation crossed Jared’s face as he continued, “I hope they can satisfy all my terms and
conditions so I can become the most prominent person in Erudia. When that happens, I’m sure that woman would
stop looking down on me!”
“But Mr. Schmidt, given your status, you can get any woman you want. Why must you insist on her? Besides, she
already has a child.”
Jared glared at his assistant before replying, “They’ve always known what a monomaniac I am. As long as I’ve set
my sights on something, I’ll never stop until I get it.”
After letting out a sigh, Jared went on, “All these years, I’ve achieved everything I wanted, yet Zoey remains so far
out of my reach. That’s the one thing I can’t get over! The truth is, I don’t like her, and neither do I want to marry
her. It’s just an obsession that needs fulfilling!”
Jared’s assistant inhaled sharply at his words.
Having a pathological obsession was always terrifying and unhealthy.
One could even call monomaniacs like Jared an absolute lunatic.
However, it was also because of that obsession that Jared was able to develop an impressive weapon.
If it weren’t for lunatics like him, there wouldn’t be such terrifying and out-of-the-world creations.
“Zoey is now in Wildefield, so I’m going to let her witness the whole of Wildefield grovel at my feet! She’ll see how
even someone as ordinary as me can climb my way up to the top of the world!”
Jared might have sounded cocky, but he had his reasons for being so.
Given his abilities, Supreme class warriors would be fighting to fawn over him, so why would Wildefield be any
different?
Even someone like Avery would have to stand back and be at Jared’s beck and call.
After all, Jared was the key to winning the upcoming major battle. Nobody in their right mind would dare offend him.
Two days later, Forlevia and Zoey had returned to Wildefield, so it was up to Levi to fetch Abigail from the airport.
It had been a long time since they last met, and while Abigail had gotten prettier, she had also become colder and
more distant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was an aura about her that made her very unapproachable.
Despite that, Levi had a nagging feeling that something else was off about her, even though he couldn’t quite place
it.
“Levi, you’re here,” Abigail exclaimed.
Even though she was pleasantly surprised to see her brother-in-law, Abigail still made it a point to keep her
emotions in check and put on a very calm demeanor.
“Zoey and Evie have returned to Wildefield. But don’t worry, I’ll take you there tomorrow.”
Once in the car, the awkwardness between them became even more palpable.
After a moment’s silence, Levi finally broke the ice, “How have you been?”
“I’m doing pretty well! But I heard you’ve gone through many twists and turns, and you’re now back to being an
ordinary person?”
Levi chuckled as he replied, “It’s not bad being ordinary, you know? I’ve got my kid, my wife, and my mother. What
more can I ask for in life?”
“Yes, that’s indeed a happy life!”
After a slight pause, Abigail added, “Oh right, Jared. I’m also getting married!”
