Chapter 1894 A Rare Opportunity

Meanwhile, Jessica discovered the atmosphere in the main hall was a touch tense when she returned to Demon Sect.

Patrick was seated in his vice president chair, presiding over the deacons of Demon Sect who had gathered below him.

Taking in the tense atmosphere, Jessica made her way over carefully and asked Patrick, “Mr. Sullivan, why did you ask to see me?”

“Jessica, has Jared pinpointed the location where the herb would manifest itself?” Patrick asked.

Jessica replied honestly, “Yes, he did. However, someone had beaten him to it by setting up an arcane array in the area!”

“Someone set up an arcane array? Who is it? How did he find out about the area ahead of time?” Patrick was taken aback to learn the news.

Jessica told him, “It's a man named Hank Williams. I think he's a master in deduction or something...”

“Hanks Williams?” Patrick frowned as that was the first time he had heard of this name.

Right then, Simon spoke up. “Mr. Sullivan, Hank is indeed a renowned master in deduction. Apparently, he has mastered the Heavenly Law, so no secrets are safe from him. It is no surprise that he was able to deduce the location of the herb before anyone else.”

Patrick wore a grim expression as he replied, “I can't believe such a person exists. That means we'll face some difficulty getting the herb for ourselves.”

Jessica was baffled. “Mr. Sullivan, aren't we planning to gift that herb to Mr. Chance? Are we also going to try to get it, too?”

Patrick snorted icily. “I don't mind giving him an ordinary herb, but that herb is ten thousand years old. How could we give it to him just like that? That's too huge a sacrifice. That's why I summoned you. I need you to keep a close watch on Jared without his knowledge. If he does end up getting his hands on the herb, I want you to figure out a way to snatch it from him.”

Patrick wanted Jessica to find a chance to steal the herb from Jared.

A bitter look crossed Jessica's face. “Mr. Sullivan, you know well how capable Jared is. How could I get the herb from him?”

Simon nodded in agreement. “Yes, Mr. Sullivan, Jared is certainly renowned for his abilities. Even if he were to have his guard down, it would still be extremely difficult for Jessica to be successful in attempting to steal the herb from him. I have heard that Jared possesses a Storage Ring, wherein he stores his possessions, meaning that no one can take anything from him. I believe the body of the blood demon is inside, too!”

Patrick's brows furrowed momentarily, but he quickly relaxed and retrieved a colorless and tasteless liquid from his pocket.

“Jessica, this is the Cultivation Reversal Potion. Once Jared gets the herb, feed him this potion, and he'll be at your mercy!” he announced as he tossed the potion to Jessica.

Holding the Cultivation Reversal Potion, Jessica asked doubtfully, “Mr. Sullivan, aren't we going to collaborate with Mr. Chance? If we do this to him, will he still agree to work with us?”

Patrick gave a dismissive wave. “Enough. Stop talking about the collaboration. The ten-thousand-year-old herb is a rare occurrence, so we must get it. Just do as I say!”

Jessica had no choice but to leave as told. After she left, Patrick glanced at the deacons and announced, “The revival of spiritual energy is going to happen soon, so we must take action quickly. Our primary objective should be to eliminate or subjugate the Zagorski family, thereby bringing Norham under our control! Doing so will allow us to progress and expand. Following the revival of spiritual energy, we must conquer more places so the world will learn our name.”
