The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 2818

“Ms. Pearl, aren't you coming out?” Jared shouted when he realized that Pearl was still inside after he had stepped out of the alchemy room.

“Stop yelling. I'm coming,” Pearl said, her eyes fixed on Roderick.

Finally, she stepped out of the alchemy room.

Pearl knew that if she didn't follow Jared back, she would be punished by Gregory.

“Pearl, can't you stay a little longer? I just want to spend more time with you,” Roderick said.

His voice, filled with longing, stopped Pearl in her tracks, and he suddenly reached out to grab her hand.

“Roderick, I don't want to leave either, but if I don't return, my master will punish me,” Pearl said, looking troubled.

“Pearl, do you know how much I've missed you these past few days?” Roderick said, his face filled with anticipation. “Can't you stay with me a little longer?”

As Pearl looked into Roderick's pleading eyes, her heart melted. She nodded and said, “All right, I'll stay with you a little longer.”

Roderick's face lit up. Happiness enveloped him as he clasped Pearl's hand as if fearing she might vanish.

“Jared, you head back first. I'll stay a while longer,” Pearl said.

Jared merely glanced at Pearl before turning to leave.

He could see that Roderick felt nothing for Pearl. Roderick was only playing games with her. However, Pearl was oblivious to it and was still being deceived by Roderick.

As for why Roderick was doing this, Jared didn't know, nor did he care to find out.

It didn't concern him if Pearl was beguiled. He only had to ensure his own women were loyal to him.

“Pearl, it's not that I lack the confidence to win. My alchemy skills are just no match for Jared's. I don't have the ability to produce a perfect Fifth Level Top Tier pill in such a short time,” Roderick admitted.

He knew himself. Before witnessing Jared's alchemy skills, he had the confidence to win. However, at that moment, his confidence wavered.

“Oh, what do we do, then?” Pearl's voice trembled with anxiety.

“There's only one way. It depends on whether you want to help me or not...”

“Roderick, tell me. I'll do anything for you,” Pearl said resolutely.

Roderick's face lit up, and he whispered his plan into Pearl's ear.

Her face turned pale. “R-Roderick, t-this won't do! If my master finds out, I'm good as dead.”
