A Man Like None Other
Chapter 3988

With that, Juliet closed her eyes and channeled her spiritual sense into the sachet, hoping to connect with Gael’s spirit.

However, after waiting for quite a while, Juliet remained unresponsive. Moreover, her forehead was covered in a considerable amount of cold sweat.

Upon witnessing this scene, Jared swiftly placed his palm on Juliet’s shoulder and transferred a surge of spiritual energy into Juliet’s body.

Only then did Juliet, face ashen, let out a long sigh and open her eyes.

“What are you doing? You poured all of your spiritual sense into the sachet. That’s no different from courting death!” Jared yelled at Juliet.

To Jared’s surprise, Juliet had released all of her spiritual sense. Thankfully, he noticed in time and helped Juliet retrieve her spiritual sense.

Otherwise, she might become mentally incapacitated, or even worse, she might not survive.

Juliet frowned and anxiously said, “Why can’t I sense my father? I can’t feel his presence anymore.”

“Could it be that Mr. Ortiz is unwell, so he couldn’t establish a mental connection with you?” Jared speculated.

“That’s impossible. Even if my father were ill, I could still sense his presence. It’s just that he couldn’t respond to me. But this time, I couldn’t sense my father’s presence.” Juliet was visibly tense, her eyes revealing a sense of worry.

“Could it be possible that Mr. Ortiz has been moved and is no longer here?” Jared ventured another guess.

“That’s impossible. This is the most secure place in the entire Violet Flame Sect. Harlan would never move my father elsewhere. Could it be that something happened to Father? Did they harm him in any way?” Juliet grew agitated and became desperate to break through that arcane array.

Jared stopped Juliet and said, “Juliet, don’t act recklessly. If you forcefully break through the arcane array, not only will you not see Mr. Ortiz, but you might also get caught.”

“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,” Juliet assured. Then, to Jared’s astonishment, she opened the sachet and swallowed all the ashes inside.

Jared was taken aback. “Juliet, what are you doing? Don’t do anything foolish!”

“Who’s being foolish?” Juliet shot Jared a glance. “My father once told me that the ashes in this sachet, apart from connecting with his spirit, can also be consumed in times of danger. Then, I would be able to harness his strength. As long as I could harness my father’s power, breaking through this arcane array would be a breeze. Moreover, I also have Mr. Cunningham’s formation plate at my disposal.”

“Is that even possible?” Jared asked in puzzlement.

However, after Juliet ingested those ashes, there was indeed a significant change in her aura.

“Stop following me. I fear there’s no turning back for me this time. You’d be better off returning home, safe and sound. If I see my father, I’ll ask him for you. If we have the chance to meet again, I can let you know,” Juliet urged Jared to leave.

After all, the journey was quite risky, and she didn’t want Jared to take chances alongside her.

“Juliet, what are you talking about? How could I possibly leave you behind on your own? We’re considered in the same boat since we’ve already come this far. If I were to die, I’d choose to perish alongside you. Besides, my death would be without regrets if I were to die with you,” Jared uttered with an air of righteousness.

Juliet looked at Jared, deeply moved by him to the core.

After all, she had never experienced this kind of care before.

Despite numerous men pursuing her, constantly declaring their affection for her, none was willing to die for her.

“Jared, thank you. I won’t let you die.” Juliet grasped Jared’s hand and then gently led him into the midst of the arcane array:

Jared held Juliet’s hand, feeling incredibly elated inside.

However, Jared’s decision to join Juliet in destroying the arcane array wasn’t because he was genuinely interested in pursuing her. His only concern was that if something unfortunate happened to Gael, who would he turn to learn the fire fusion technique?
