Just as Jared was about to take action, the voice of Lauden echoed over! "It's me..." Jared was slightly taken aback, looking at Lauden with confusion. He couldn't understand why Lauden was seeking him out so surreptitiously! Recalling the moment when Lauden intentionally gripped his hand tightly during their handshake, Jared knew for sure that Lauden was dealing with something! "Mr. Delacroix, is there something you need?” In a hushed tone, Jared asked. Lauden glanced around and whispered, "We should find a more secluded spot." Jared nodded, leading Lauden into the cave. He then ordered the two holy maidens to guard the entrance of the cave..
At that moment, Lauden finally let out a sigh of relief. Turning to Jared, he said, "My friend, my intention in collaborating with you was actually to ask for your help." "What can I assist you with?" Jared asked in confusion! Lauden's cultivation level had already reached Ninth Level Tribulator, so Jared didn't know how he could possibly be of any further assistance! "During the trip to the polar region, Heinrik and his crew were already harboring murderous intentions. Ever since I let you escape from the Five Great Sects last time, they've been holding a grudge against me. Recently, I've advanced to Ninth Level Tribulator cultivation level. They've already conspired to band together and takedown," Lauden said with a grim expression! "They want to kill you? Knowing that, why did you still come?" Jared was extremely curious. If he already knew, why did he still cto the polar regions? With a bitter smile, Lauden said, "I had no choice but to come. If I hadn't, Mr. Cervantes would have undoubtedly met his end. The three of them had administered a poisonous pill to Mr. Cervantes and coerced him into cooperating with them. If I hadn't shown up, acting like I was clueless, they would have definitely made a move against Mr. Cervantes." "Did Mr. Cervantes tell you this?” Jared asked.
Lauden nodded. "He secretly informed me. I could sense it myself too, that Heinrik and his men harbored murderous intentions toward me. The reason they haven't made their move yet is that they're waiting to find the immortal's tomb before they eliminate me." "They couldn't possibly locate the immortal's tomb," Jared said nonchalantly.
"Why?" Lauden was taken aback! "It's because that place doesn't exist. It was all a lie. The real resource of the polar region is polar stone, something that is of no use to other sects and prestigious families. Here, only Lunarius Palace and the Mueller family required the polar stones. Anyone else who chere was deceived into coming." Jared revealed the true situation to Lauden! "So that's how it is. I've indeed heard of the Muller family, but this Lunarius Palace, I've never heard of it before!" It was perfectly understandable that Lauden hadn't heard of Lunarius Palace. After all, it had just begun to recover after its destruction. Being kilometers apart from the Five Great Sects, it was reasonable that he hadn't heard of it! "Lauden, what exactly do you wantto do to help you? Shall we join forces and take care of those three?" Jared asked!
