“Don’t be afraid, Mr. Goeckner. My daughter is chained up. She won’t be able to hurt you,” As hastily


    reassured. He feared that Hyrum might be frightened away.


    “A mere hysteria can’t scare me,” Hyrum replied. He immediately took out a packet of white powder


    and tossed it toward Effie. Effie inhaled the white powder, and immediately, she calmed down, her eyes


    gradually regaining rity.


    As was thrilled by this unexpected development, not anticipating that Hyrum would swiftly subdue his


    daughter’s condition.


    With Effie now restored to her normal state, Hyrum infused her with a stream of spiritual energy. After a


    moment, Hyrum’s expression turned grave, causing unease to settle in As.


    Stepping out of the arcane array, Hyrum addressed him, “Mr. Jablonski, your daughter’s condition is


    quite serious. If this continues, I fear she won’t have much time left…” Hearing this, As became


    panicked. “Mr. Goeckner, could you save my daughter? If you could cure her, I’ll do anything you ask. I


    can even retire from my mayorship and let you seed me…” Hyrum felt a surge of joy inside.


    Although he couldn’t be the mayor, he could certainly use As to deal with Jared.


    “Mr. Jablonski, your daughter’s condition is severe, but it’s not beyond treatment. It’s just that the


    treatment is somewhatplex, and I need to concoct a pill,” Hyrum said with feigned profundity.


    “Mr. Goeckner, tell me what you need for the pill concoction. I will fulfill any requirement,” As said.


    “That won’t be necessary. I have my own mystical herb. However, there is one thing I would ask of


    you,” Hyrum stated as he looked at As.


    “Please tell me, Mr. Goeckner. I’ll even agree to ten things if you so require,” As said, desperate to


    save his daughter.


    “I have a grudge with a man named Jared Chance. He should be arriving in Salinsburgh City within a


    day or two, so I would like you to capture him and hand him over to me,” Hyrum said.


    “No problem. I’ll give the orders right away. Anyone named Jared Chance who appears in Salinsburgh


    City will be captured.” As nodded, showing little concern for who Jared was, as his daughter


    remained his priority.


    Upon As’ swift agreement, a smug expression crossed Hyrum’s face.


    “Mr. Jablonski, there’s no need to bind your daughter now. The medicine I just administered will ensure


    she won’t rpse for three days. Within that time, I will concoct the pill topletely cure her,” Hyrum


    confidently dered.


    “Thank you, Mr. Goeckner! Thank you so much,” As expressed with excitement, repeatedly


    expressing his gratitude.


    Soon after, As personally escorted Hyrum out of the mayor’s mansion, then issued the order to


    capture Jared.


    Unaware of the warrant for his arrest, Jared, apanied by Victor and Hamish, entered the mayor’s


    mansion.


    Recognizing Victor, the guards didn’t hinder their entry. For Hamish, it was his inaugural visit to the


    mayor’s mansion, and he appeared quite thrilled.


    Victor, leading Jared and the others, navigated directly to Effie’s room. His familiarity with the mansion’s


    layout indicated frequent visits.

    Upon reaching Effie’s room, however, Victor found it empty. The empty chains and the arcane array put


    in ce were gone.


    “Butler, where is Effie?” Victor’s expression turned serious.


    He was worried that something might have happened to Effie, for he had watched over her since she


    was little and had grown quite fond of her.


    “Victor, when did you get here?” As hurried over upon seeing Victor.


    Thetter’s expression remained stern as he demanded, “Where is Effie? What have you done with


    her?” “Effie’s in her mother’s room. Where else could she be?” As asked with a chuckle.


    Stumped, Victor asked, “Aren’t you afraid Effie will have an episode?”
