Just when Rayleigh was about to say something or other, a knock sounded on the room door.
Both Rayleigh and Melanie's expressions changed slightly. Who could it be at this time of the night?
Rayleigh motioned for Melanie to open the door while he got ready to attack.
The moment Melanie opened the door, she unexpectedly saw that it was Jared and the others who had returned.
“Why are you all back?” she exclaimed in astonishment.
When Rayleigh saw that Jared had come back, he likewise queried with a frown, “Did something happen that you all returned so quickly?”
In response, Jared shook his head. “Mr. Deragon, I’ve procured the draconic essence.”
Upon hearing that, Rayleigh promptly shrouded him with a layer of spiritual sense. Sure enough, he sensed the change in the man. With excitement written all over his face, he exclaimed, “It's great that you managed to secure the draconic essence so quickly! How about the Flame Dragon's draconic essence?”
At the mention of the Flame Dragon, Jared was reminded of Renee, who had turned into an ice block. In an instant, his mood took a nosedive.
“Mr. Deragon, I don’t want to sacrifice the lives of those around me for the sake of acquiring draconic essences,” he asserted with a solemn expression.
When Rayleigh heard that, he swept his gaze around, but he saw no sign of Renee. Realization swiftly dawned upon him, and his eyes turned red-rimmed. “This is destiny, Jared. Don't be overly devastated. I hope you won't let the draconic essence Renee exchanged with her life go to waste.”
“Mr. Deragon, is Renee to be frozen on Dragon Island forever? Do even you not have a way of saving her?” Josephine inquired from the side just then.
After all, Rayleigh was no different from an immortal in her eyes, with nothing beyond his capabilities.
Regretfully, Rayleigh shook his head. “No, I don't. However, there's no end to spiritual energy cultivation.
