With that, Jared seized upon the opportunity to order everyone back to the hotel. After learning that
Jared was a Greater Martial Arts Marquis, Anne and Andrew joined them with the intention of never
leaving Jared’s side.
Hence, Jared was worried that Anne would get into a conflict with the other girls. Having
underestimated their social skills, he was soon surprised to see Anne fitting right in with the group as if
all of them were old friends.
Moreover, they felt indignant on Anne’s behalf upon learning of her predicament. All of them wanted to
find the King of Herbs and teach Harold a lesson on her behalf.

The next day, Dale came to the hotel first thing in the morning to see Jared. He was to lead Jared in his
search for the ancient ruins.
Initially, Jared didn’t want the girls toe along. However, he had no choice, as they would be
unhappy if Anne-who was looking for the King of Herbs-went alone with him. “Where’s Mr. xseed?”
After everyone had gathered, Jared couldn’t see xseed anywhere.
“He hasn’t left his room ever since he arrived. God knows what he’s doing inside,” Colin replied. Jared
didn’t need to guess what xseed was up to, but given his expertise in navigating tombs, they
couldn’t do without his presence.
Thus, Jared went to his room and knocked loudly on the door. The door opened quickly, revealing the
yawning xseed. His eyes had a listless look in them and were weighed down by heavy eyebags.
On his bed were two blond girls lying in it. “Mr. xseed, we’re going off to find the ancient ruins,”
Jared informed him. “Um… So soon?”
xseed was caught by surprise. “If I don’t hurry, I would probably find you dead in your bed.”
Jared rolled his eyes at xseed, who responded with a chuckle. “These Senerisian girls are amazing.
Wait for me while I get dressed.”
Soon, xseed emerged after getting ready. From the look on his face, everyone knew what he was
up to while being holed up in his room.
“D’mn it, Jared, you’re really something! You already got yourself a Senerisian girl in just two days?”
The moment xseed saw Anne, he couldn’t help but admire Jared for his charm. “Enough. It’s getting
late. Let’s hurry.”
Worried that xseed would start bbering away, Jared quickly urged the group to set off. With Dale
leading the way, they boarded at minibus toward the foot of the snowy mountain.
When they were about more than ten kilometers away, their bus came to a stop. The tarred road had
come to an end, which required them to trek the rest of the way.
After packing some supplies and a simple tent, Dale informed Jared, “Mr. Chance, the weather here
can be unpredictable. That’s why we’ll need to bring some food. Who knows, we might even have to
spend the night here.”
“Okay!” Jared nodded. After ncing at the supplies, he kept them all in his Storage Ring with a wave
of his hand. It was an ability Dale was extremely envious of.
With that, the group trudged on the snow- capped ground as they continued their journey up the snowy
mountain. What started out as an adventure was turned into a sightseeing trip by the girls.
Some of them began to fool around and even had snowball fights amongst themselves. Consequently,
their behavior rendered Jared speechless.
As for Dale, he was astonished by what he saw. Although the girls appeared weak, all of them were
tremendously more powerful than he was.
Along the journey, Jared encountered other groups who were also making their way toward the
mountain. They were clearly looking for the ancient ruins too, whereas their members all exuded
powerful auras.
Nevertheless, the other groups didn’t pay Jared’s entourage any attention. From how noisy the girls
were behaving, everyone. assumed them to be a tour group instead.
As they got closer to the snowy mountain, the weather took a turn for the worse. A thick fog slowly
engulfed the mountain, seemingly sealing it away from the world.
When Jared emitted his spiritual sense, he was surprised to find that it couldn’t pierce through the fog.
Evidently, the fog wasn’t a natural urrence at all.
