“Poisoned? A Demonic Cultivator? What are you talking about?” Atlas looked at Jared in disbelief. “My daughter hasn't even left the manor all this while, so how could she have been poisoned? Also, you're saying that Mr. Goeckner is a Demonic Cultivator? I was by his side the entire time, so how can I not tell that he's a Demonic Cultivator if he's really one? You've cured my wife, and that is something I'm grateful for, but if you're trying to show off your medical skills, it's best if you do that after a few years more of training.”
Atlas did not believe Jared at all.
Even Victor was looking at Hamish with a troubled look.
Thus, Hamish stepped forward to tug Jared and said, “Mr. Chance, perhaps you've misjudged the situation. Let's go.”
Hamish knew that Atlas would certainly not believe Jared's words. If Jared insisted that he was right, then the atmosphere would turn tense.
Noting Atlas' attitude, Jared could only smile and say, “Maybe I've misjudged the situation. I'll be staying in Salinsburgh City for a few days, and if you have anything you need, feel free to come to me.”
With that, Jared left. If not for that tree of Victor's that contained celestial energy, he would not have said anything about Effie at all.
“He may be young, but he's quite an ill-tempered one,” Atlas remarked with a scoff.
Victor, too, had a look of displeasure on his face. “Hamish, you've brought a rather arrogant alchemist with you this time.”
Hamish could only offer a sheepish smile and nothing else.
At a courtyard in Salinsburgh City, Hyrum was merrily lying on the reclining chair, sunbathing.
At that moment, Xanthus returned in a despondent state. Perhaps he was unhappy because he could not find Demon Seal Alliance's branch.
Without Demon Seal Alliance's branch's assistance, it would be challenging for them to kill Jared.
Thus, upon seeing the return of Xanthus, Hyrum leaped to his feet.
