Chapter 1652


    After leaving Deity Lab, Nedley immediately ced 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 ns,” Nedley said nervously.


    “I hope you cane 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 ns?”


    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 timees, you’re going to be the man


    that everyone wants to work with!”


    “Exactly! The sky’s the limit when ites 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 be 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 red 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 ss 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 uing major battle. Nobody in their right mind would dare


    offend him.


    Two dayster, 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 theyst met, and while Abigail had gotten prettier, she had also be


    colder and more distant.


    There 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 ce it.


    “Levi, you’re here,” Abigail eximed.


    Even though she was pleasantly surprised to see her brother-inw, 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!”
