Nilou glanced at Jemima as said, “Mr. Chance, it wasn’t me who sought you out. it was Jemima!”
Jemima looked at Jared, eyes filled with reluctance and a hint of pain on face. “Jared, I have to go back now. My family is already pressuring me. After Zaiel returned that day, pressured the Murray family through Heavenfall Pavilion. Now, I must go back. Otherwise, my parents will be in trouble.”
Jared‘s brow furrowed slightly when heard Jemima’s words. He then responded, “I’ll go back with you. I’m curious to see what’s so great about Heavenfall Pavilion.”
“No… Don’t! The power of Heavenfall Pavilion is immense. You don’t need to worry about me anymore. I’m content with having known you during this time,” Jemima said, shaking head.
“Didn’t you hear me? I told you I’m going back with you, so I’m going back with you. I’ll handle the matter. You don’t need to worry about it anymore,” Jared said with a great deal of assertiveness.
Jemima actually found Jared’s domineering nature quite enjoyable.
“I’ll get things sorted, then we’ll be off!” Jared said before left.
Nilou looked at Jemima with envy and said, “Jemima, Mr. Chance treats you so well. You’re fortunate to have met such an assertive and commanding man. Don’t worry about how many women has. As long as he’s also your man, that’s all that matters. Finding a good man these days is just too difficult…”
The admiration from Nilou filled Jemima’s heart with joy. At the same time, nodded emphatically, indicating agreement with what Nilou had said.
Jared left the main hall and went straight to find Braxton. At that time, Braxton had just emerged from the Pentacarna Tower, fully recovered.
“Jared, with this magical item in your possession, you’re destined for great things in the future…” Upon seeing Jared, Braxton sang his praises loudly.
While others cultivated one year, Jared would’ve already cultivated one hundred years.
“Father, now that you’ve recovered, what are your plans?” Jared asked.
“I’ll heed your command. You’re now the overseer of Celestial Palace’s Eighth Hall,” said Braxton.
“I plan to go to level two,” declared Jared.
“Let’s head to level two, then. After all, Eighth Hall’s mansion is located there. Now that I’ve recovered, it’s time for me to return!” Braxton nodded in agreement.
Before long, Jared, along with Flaxseed, Jemima, and the people from Eighth Hall, departed from Caxton Continent, heading straight for level two.
When was leaving, Jared handed Nilou a portrait, imploring to search for it relentlessly in level one.
The image depicted Josephine, who had been led away. Since then, Jared had no idea where Josephine had been taken. At that moment, the only option was to rely on the influence of Nilou to search.

As Jared and his group were on their way to level two, a great uproar had already erupted within Celestial Palace.
Within Celestial King Palace, there was a golden main hall.
Bang!
An elderly man clad in a golden robe slammed his hand down on the table in fury, his voice stern and commanding. “Sir Envoy has been murdered, and Celestial Palace’s Eighth Hall has rebelled. Braxton, that geezer, has actually dared to side with another tribe!”
“Calm down, Enaricus!” A middle-aged man stepped forward, his voice heavy. “This matter might not be as simple as It seems. Jared, capable of manipulating ancient battle puppets, has probably reached Top Level Wandering Immortal Realm or even higher!”
The elder in the golden robe scoffed. “How dare a mere wandering immortal challenge the authority of Celestial Palace? Convey my command. Inform Saleto, the overlord of Celestial Palace’s Seventh Hall, to conquer Caxton Continent, execute Jared, and annihilate the entire Eighth Halll”
“No!” Suddenly, a crisp and cold female voice rang out.
Everyone turned around, only to see a stunningly beautiful woman in a white dress slowly making way into the main hall.
Her features were cool and detached, gaze as frosty as snow, exuding a chilling aura all around her.
“Beatra, what are you doing?” The elder in the golden robe, Enaricus, the overlord of Celestial Palace’s Third Hall, furrowed his brow.
Beatra, the overlord of Celestial Palace’s Fourth Hall, uttered calmly, “Enaricus, Celestial Palace is currently plagued with inner turmoil and external threats. It’s not the right time for major conflicts. Moreover, the fact that Jared can manipulate the ancient battle puppets implies there must be hidden circumstances behind it. If we act recklessly, I fear it might lead to unpredictable consequences.”
Enaricus sneered, “Beatra, you’re not planning to shield that foreign brat, are you? Have you perhaps also succumbed to worldly desires, wanting to be with a man from a foreign tribe?”
