It was indeed a hands-on experience!


    Juliet held onto Jared’s hand, gently guiding him through the process, including how to channel his aura into the formation te.


    Jared repaid her meticulous teaching with equal seriousness.


    After a while, Juliet asked, “Well?”


    “So soft and smooth…” Jared couldn’t help but praise.


    “So soft and smooth?” Juliet was confused. “What are you talking about?”


    “Oh, I understand how to use this now!”


    Jared snapped back to reality.


    As it turned out, Jared hadn’t been focusing on her words at all. Instead, he had been relishing the sensation brought by Juliet’s tender, smooth hands.


    “That’s good. I’m here with you, so there’s no need to be nervous.”N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Juliet’s attitude toward Jared had greatly improved.


    At the very least, Jared was being very obedient that night, evenplimenting Juliet in ways she loved to hear. This clearly increased Juliet’sfondness for Jared!


    “Yeah. It’s an honor to be protected by you, Juliet. Even if I die, I would be content if it happened in your arms,” Jared said with a nod.


    “Such a smooth talker!” Julietughed, then activated the formation te, disappearing from sight.


    Jared, on the other hand, swiftly concealed himself with a mere sway of his body. He didn’t need any kind of formation te at all!


    Rohan’s formation te really didn’t hold a candle to Jared’s own arcane array.


    With caution, Juliet guided Jared through the archway. They continued onward, navigating through two more arcane arrays. After that, Juliet’s pace began to slow down.


    Jared couldn’t help but marvel at how tight the security here was. It was even more secure than a prison!


    “Juliet, have we arrived?” Jared asked softly.


    “No. Once we go through here, we can meet my father. However, the security here is extremely tight. There are several arcane arrays stacked together here. Moreover, two of the arcane arrays involved were procured by Han at a hefty price. They weren’t set up by Mr. Cunningham, Juliet answered with a slightfrown on her face.


    Upon hearing this, Jared realized that Han wasn’t entirely trusting of Rohan either. He, too, was wary that Rohan might lean toward Gael’s faction.


    “What do we do then? If we can’t break the arcane array, how are we supposed to get in?” Jared asked.


    Jared nced ahead and indeed noticed severalyered arcane arrays in front of him. Surprisingly, among them were two killing arrays, not merely defensive ones!


    It seemed as though Han was intent on eliminating anyone who dared to secretly approach Gael.


    Those who had managed to sneak up to this point were undoubtedly from Gael’s faction. Therefore, even if these people were killed, it wouldn’t be a loss to Han. On the contrary, it would be quite beneficial!


    It was likely that these two killing arrays were those that Han had spent a fortune on. After all, it was improbable that Rohan would set up such lethal arcane arrays.


    “I’ll contact my father. He has the means to open the arcane array from the inside. Once that’s done, we’ll be able to meet. This arcane array was designed to prevent anyone fromsneaking in, but it wouldn’t stop those inside from opening it. Once my father initiates it, he will instruct me on how to enter. That’s how we’ve always met,” she exined.


    “Hasn’t Mr. Ortiz gone mad?” Jared eximed in surprise.


    “My father only has asional bouts of madness; he isn’t insane all the time. Besides, he once mentioned the possibility that his condition might be the result of poisoning. However, he couldn’t figure out the cause himself, nor did he have any evidence to back up his im,” Juliet rified.


    “How do you get in contact with Mr. Ortiz? With the arcane arrays in ce, I’m afraid even having your aura pass through would be difficult, let alone sound.”


    Jared was puzzled, unsure how Juliet had managed to get in touch with Gael.


    Juliet produced a sachet, swinging it gently in front of Jared. “This sachet contains the ashes of my father’s burnt hair. As long as I have it, I can connect with my father’s spirit. Moreover, only I can use this item. It’s useless even if someone else gets their hands on it. After all, my father and I share the same blood!”
