Chapter 390 Air Of Grievance


    Getting out of the car, Phoenix gazed at the Jantz family’s mansion. She turned to Jared. “Mr. Chance,


    you still haven’t found a ce to stay in Summerbank, right? This ce looks nice.”


    Jared nodded and epted the suggestion. After all, he knew he could not keep staying at Lizbeth’s


    ce, especially now that Josephine hade too.


    Seeing Jared nodding his head, Lizbeth felt disappointed for some reason. However, she immediately


    recollected herself from whatever inappropriate thoughts she had. Jared belongs to my good friend. I


    can’t have any improper thoughts for him…


    Walking into the mansion and looking at its luxurious design, they were somewhat amazed by all the


    antiques inside the building. What a sumptuous lifestyle Zachariah had!


    Jared chatted with Josephine and Lizbeth in the living room while waiting for Phoenix and her men to


    scan the entire ce.


    A short whileter, a subordinate of the Phoenix Regiment rushed to the living room. “Mr. Chance,


    Madam asks you to go over there…”


    Upon seeing the subordinate’s panicked look, Jared jumped up from the couch. “What’s going on?”


    “I… I am not sure as well,” The subordinate answered.


    Jared immediately left with the subordinate. Josephine and Lizbeth followed along as they were


    curious.


    Before long, they came to a secluded courtyard in the mansion. Phoenix, Tommy, and the rest had


    surrounded the yard, their gazes filled with rage.


    “Phoenix, what’s wrong?” Jared questioned.


    “Mr. Chance, please take a look for yourself.” Phoenix pointed at a house in the middle of the


    courtyard.


    Jared shifted his gaze toward the house. He was bewildered to discover over ten girls locked up inside


    it. The girls recoiled in fear when they saw him. It was evident they had been living in a great fright.


    “What’s exactly going on here?” Jared furrowed his brows tightly.


    “Mr. Chance, I’ve already questioned them. These girls were all captured by Zachariah. The oldest


    among them is only eighteen years old.”


    “Why would Zachariah capture so many girls?” Jared could not wrap his head around it. Even if he


    used them for sex, he wouldn’t need so many!


    “They have no idea why they were captured as well. However, Zachariah used to send his men to pick


    two girls among them every day. They would dress them up and send them away. Those sent away


    never return. I suspect they are dead,” Phoenix uttered wrathfully.


    As a woman, she pitied what these girls had experienced. Josephine and Lizbeth were livid too when


    they saw those girls recoil in fear.


    At the same time, Jared was deeply troubled by Phoenix’s words, especially the part where she said


    those girls were dead.


    “Get some of your men to take care of these girls and send them home. The rest of you, follow me!”


    With that, Jared walked out of the house.


    Standing in the courtyard, Jared closed his eyes as he chanted some words. In the next moment, he


    swiped his hands in front of his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with red light.


    He scanned the mansion for a while. His gaze eventually stopped at a spot not far away in the


    southwest.


    With his eyes, he could see ck smokeing out from that ce before turning into dark clouds in


    the sky. Those clouds did not fade for a long time.


    “Why is there such heavy grievance in the air?”


    Jared’s expression darkened as he withdrew his gaze.


    In the blink of an eye, he ran in that direction. Seeing this, Phoenix and the rest immediately followed


    after him.


    After running for a few miles, Jared stopped on a piece ofnd. There was freshly turned soil


    everywhere.


    Jared scanned thend and discovered an earring within the soil. A few secondster, he found yet


    another earring. His expression turned sour as a bad feeling rose within his heart.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
