Jared knew that he likely couldn’t have killed Quintus if Xavier hadn’t discovered the secret of the


    latter’s magecraft back then.


    “Jadeborough has be considerably quieter while you were away, Mr. Chance. But Howard from


    the Dunn family came multiple times in search of you. I wonder if he has some business with you,”


    Theodore reported to Jared.


    Jared’s brows furrowed slightly when he heard that.


    “Why was Howard looking for me?”


    Could it be that there’s something serious that Howard came over to look for me multiple times?


    “I’m not sure either, but he said to phone him after you had returned to Jadeborough!” Theodore


    answered.


    Hearing that, Jared took out his phone and gave Howard a call.


    After all, he found Howard pretty decent. That aside, the man once helped him. Thus, he reckoned that


    thetter might have encountered some difficulties that he was seeking him out so urgently.


    When Howard received Jared’s call, he was ted beyond words. He told thetter to wait for him at


    the Department of Justice while he sped over right away.


    At that very moment, a grand banquet was in the works at the Dunn residence.

    Sitting at the main seat, L waited silently for Jared toe.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    “Old Mr. Dunn, the fact that Jared killed the sect leader of Malison Sect, Quintus Zabel, is proof of his


    superb capabilities. What if he resists when we forcibly detain him?” L’s butler, Maddox Smith,


    whispered.


    “Don’t worry, for I’ve long since considered that!”


    The corners of L’s mouth curled up. He took out a pill that was crystal clear, very much beautiful.


    “What is this, Old Mr. Dunn?” Maddox queried, curious.


    “This is known as an energy-constraining pill. Anyone who consumes it won’t be able to unleash his


    capabilities, no matter how powerful he is. At that time, Jared will be at our mercy!” L exined


    cidly.


    Upon hearing that, Maddox hastily uttered, “I heard that he has close ties to Medicine God Sect. In fact,


    there are even rumors that he is the Lord of Medicine God Sect. Wouldn’t we be making a fool of


    ourselves before an expert if we were to drug him? He’d definitely know.”


    At that, L cast a nce at the man. “Let me tell you this—this energy-constraining pill is colorless


    and odorless. It dissolves immediately in water, so no one can tell that the water has been spiked. Even


    if he is the Lord of Medicine God Sect, he’ll never be able to discern it!”


    “I see!” Maddox nodded. But in the next second, he questioned, “But what about Mr. Dunn if we were to


    do so? He would definitely object if he were to learn about it.”


    “I’ll make an excuse to send Howard on an errand. As long as we manage to gain of Jared, the


    draconic essence within him will be mine in no time.”


    L’s eyes brimmed with greed.


    “What happens after we obtain the draconic essence? If we were to let him go, he’d definitely return to


    seek revenge after he recovers his capabilities,” Maddox asked.


    “Are you f*cking stupid? Who said we’re going to let him go? After we obtain the draconic essence,


    we’ll kill him straight away. We can’t be setting ourselves up for trouble, no?” Lmbasted,


    irritated by the endless questions.


    “But if Mr. Sanders were to learn that we killed him, we’ll be in trouble,” Maddox reminded in a whisper,


    shrinking into himself.


    By then, L was so livid that his face flushed bright red. He knocked Maddox on the head.


    “Why the h*ll did I employ a butler like you? Even if we kill him, we can never admit to it. It so happens


    that Skr Norton has a grudge against him. Thus, we’ll make it seem like the doing of the Norton


    family. Then, Mr. Sanders will only have the Norton family to me. It’ll be good if the Norton family is


    destroyed. With that, we’ll have one lesspetitor in Jadeborough!”


    Maddox didn’t dare speak further but zipped his mouth.


    L snagged the coffee pot and dropped the energy-constraining pill into it. After that, he gently


    swished it a few times.


    In the end, he opened it and took a sniff before nodding in satisfaction.


    He then waited for Jared to arrive before tricking him into drinking the coffee.
