Chapter 2285 Hailey Hargreaves


    The crowd retreated upon seeing Kaydening in their direction, disying a clear sense of


    wariness toward him.


    After ring at Jared and the others, Kayden left in anger. He believed the Gunderson family or The


    Adamantine must have leaked the news.


    “Kayden has always presented himself as someone high and mighty, but he hasn''t even made it to the


    Supreme Honor Rankings!” Zain snorted while staring at Kayden.


    “Ignore him. Let''s go and take a walk,” Jared said before going further into the castle.


    Soon, Jared heard the resounding chime of a bell. Its melodious tone enveloped his mind and soul,


    overwhelming him with an enchanting resonance.


    “Monkey, do you hear the sound of a bell?” Jared asked while looking at Zain.


    Zain shook his head. “Nope. What bell?”


    Jared then turned to Evangeline and inquired, “Do you hear it, Ms. Gunderson?”


    “No, I don''t. What bell are you talking about? Are you hearing things, Mr. Chance?” Evangeline


    responded.


    “I guess so.” Jared shook his head to get rid of the sound, but it still reverberated in his mind.


    Jared eventually followed the sound and approached a bronze door adorned with intricate, mysterious


    carvings.


    Just when he was about to open the door, Zain stopped him right away.

    “You cannot enter, Mr. Chance. This is a bell tower, and it''s only open during the bell-ringing ceremony


    tomence the Secret Realm Conference,” Zain exined while standing in Jared''s away.


    “There''s a bell inside?” Jared asked.


    “That''s correct. Upstairs is the Dragon Bell, which has been there for ages. When the conference


    begins, the individual who ranks first on the Supreme Honor Rankings will strike the bell. But in recent


    years, it has been Sigwin Green who has been striking the bell, as he has consistently topped the


    rankings,” Zain exined.


    Jared stepped away and gave up the idea of opening the bronze door after learning about the rule.


    All of a sudden, someone called his name. “J-Jared... Jared...”


    It was the voice of a woman.


    Jared froze for a moment as he did not expect anyone to recognize him in the Eight Major Secret


    Realms. Aside from the Gunderson family, how is it possible for someone here to know who I am?


    When he turned around to look at the person who called his name, he was stunned.


    “You''re H-Hail...” Jared unexpectedly could not recall the girl''s name.


    “I''m Hailey Hargreaves...” The girl ran up to him.


    She did not disy signs of frustration when Jared could not recall her name. On the contrary, her face


    lit up with excitement.


    Feeling awkward, Jared said, “I''m so sorry, Ms. Hargreaves...”


    “It''s okay.” Hailey shook her head. Out of curiosity, she asked, “How did you get here? Are you one of


    the people from the Eight Major Secret Realms? I thought you were from the mundane world?”


    “I...” Jared had no idea what to say to Hailey.


    “Who is she, Mr. Chance?” Evangeline asked, taking a step forward.


    “Oh. She''s...”


    Just as Jared was about to introduce Hailey, she took the initiative to introduce herself. “Hi, I''m Hailey


    Hargreaves from the Gate of Thunder.”


    “Hello, I''m Evangeline Gunderson from the Gate of Fire. Mr. Chance is representing the Gunderson


    family to attend the Secret Realm Conference,” Evangeline exined to Hailey.


    “I didn''t expect to meet you here, Jared. I thought I would never see—” Before Hailey could finish her


    sentence, us ran over and interjected, “Hailey, what are you doing there? The conference is about


    to start!”


    us was taken aback when he saw Jared. He believed Jared had perished while chasing the zing


    Tiger into the Demon Beast Mountain. He''s still alive? How is it possible?


    “You''re still alive, Jared?” us asked in puzzlement.
